I was watching the new series of Gok's Clothes Road Show on Channel 4 last night and although I love browsing the high streets fashions from my arm chair and watching as Gok Tirelessly makes women look thinner simply by adding a belt to any outfit I was less than impressed by his homemade t-shirt . I love the idea of giving us crafty fashion tips, I can see the use for glittering up a pair of old heels but using spray paint to create a unique design on a plain white T I don't think any of us could pull off. Even with his creative flair the design produced was lack luster so how can any of us mere mortals expect to come anywhere close to producing something wearable. Plus I'm not entirely sure how practical it would be to wash. Nowadays customising a t-shirt shouldn't be so hard. You can by iron on transfers, sew on patches or how about going a bit retro and doing some tie dying. When I was a child I created my own funky t-shirts with string and some veggies . I tr...

Ludo is another traditional board game for 2 to 4 players that has been played for many years. The game consists of a wooden board, different coloured pegs, dice and involves some strategic playing. Each player chooses a different set of coloured pegs and places them in their corresponding starting circle. A 6 must be thrown to start each peg on its way around the board and the player must decide which of his pieces to move in a clockwise direction around the track by the number thrown. If a player can get one of his pegs to land upon another of his pieces of the same colour this will form a block which cannot be passed or landed on by any opponent so giving him an advantage. Also if a player can get his piece to land on an opponents piece of another colour then that piece is removed and returned back to the start and that player must then throw a 6 to re start it on its way around the board again. To win the game a player must get all of his four pegs around the board and back into ...
