Talking of sitting in pubs, I like to play "pub one-day cricket".
Two people sit in a pub window, with a view of the street. You then agree on certain things you may see which count as various numbers of runs, and getting out. So, for example:
Person with red coat - one run
Person wearing a hat - two runs
... and so on ..
A yellow car - six runs.
Girl talking on her phone - OUT.
The first person starts their "innings", and counts all their runs up, losing a "wicket" each time the OUT thing happens (it could be anything really, but not something too common). The other person then has their innings, using the same scoring system. Whoever has the most runs wins!
Simple really. Works well on rainy days - umbrellas are worth one run for example.
New idea for a challenge!

I can't see the idea of wetting nappies as a challenge hitting on either

Re: New idea for a challenge!
I have an idea regarding nappies. People do the challenge as normal, except that they are wearing nappies. They must each have a pint of whatever they like every hour, on the hour. When a challenger wets his nappy, he aborts his attempt, counts the stations that he's visited and that's his score. The challenger with the highest score wins, unless two or more people complete the challenge before wetting their nappies, in which case the best time wins.

And you're going to be checking their nappies for cheating are you?

Of course, if Guinness are going to endorse this challenge, they may insist that it has to be a pint of Guinness that's drunk every hour.Starkey7 wrote:I have an idea regarding nappies.

They may also want hourly witness statements and photos to proove that the nappy is still unsoiled...
