Here’s a new
Christmas game for people who have grown bored of charades, i.e. pretending
that you have a perfect family life: Desert Island Statistics!
The rules
are simple.
1 Click on
the Desert Island Discs Website:
2 Type in
the name of an artist or song.
3 Be amazed
at how few/many people have chosen your favourite-
band/least-favourite-song/similar.
The game
ends when one person takes umbrage over some sneery remark about ‘lowest common
denominators’ as they learn, for example, that 11 people chose ‘Imagine’
compared to only 1 person, Sir Bradley Wiggins, choosing ‘The Queen is Dead’ (thus
‘proving’ that Sir BW is at least 11 times cooler than any given ‘Imagine’
drone).
Peace and
calm can be restored by collectively laughing at the number of people who chose
to listen ‘Dancing Queen’ for the rest of their lives, instead of, say, an
actual song (although this could cause more disharmony than the film ‘Mama Mia’
in some households).
