Cinnamon Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 We have a silly game in our house that whenever anyone sees The Gherkin (big office block in London) on TV,or in the paper,then you shout out GHERKIN! at the top of your voice. The first person to do this 'wins' - & it is usually me This was fine until last night when we went to see 'Run Fatboy Run' at the movies & - you guessed it - a charcter works at the Gherkin..................& I shouted out GHERKIN! really loudly when it was first shown on screen The family then all got the giggles........................ It was pure natural reaction, but I could have died afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronze Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 why do you both do gherkin now thats what I find weird. We have roundybales/square bales but of course its entirely to keep the children entertained on a journey and we never ever play it when theyre not in the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairy&cake Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 it started off with me saying: oh look at the gerking building [while watching tv] then ross would try and beat me to it! ............. then it just got out of hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 Laura, thats how we started off too. It is such a cool looking building & so iconic..........it has just sort of snowballed out of control now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairy&cake Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I love the big gerkin building. Apparently women like it more because it resembles something inparticular. :oops: I saw it on a psycology show. It was the apprentice show that did it for us! GERKIN!!!!!! Love Lxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 We play 'HORSE' while we're in the car.....everytime you see a horse, you shout 'HORSE' and win a point. The most points wins. You can wipe out everybody elses points out by shouting DEAD HORSE when you see a cemetary. Of, course, this has now spread to playing the game anywhere. And like you Sarah, we can be sat anywhere, at friends, in the cinema....and one of us will shout HORSE!! The cutest thing, is that Stefan now plays..only he says EE-AW !!
