The Style Game

Bored of Monopoly? Don't want to be outsmarted by Grampa at Trivial Pursuit? Then while the kids play with boxes and the ladyfolk debate the merits of cooking with goose fat this Christmas, why not play The Style Game?!!

The Rules are simple:

Every chap has a turn in the limelight as The Man.

Each of the other Players take it in turn to assess The Man's attire - for every item of clothing that The Man is wearing (including socks and underwear - The Man must show the waistband of the briefs/boxers he is wearing), each Player has to guess the Brand and the Store or Website from where it was bought.

For each incorrect answer the Player gains 10 points.

Each Player then guesses the Total Cost of The Man's Complete Outfit - for every £1 (or €1) away from the true Total Cost they gain 1 point.

The Man of each round does the marking and awards the points once all of the Players have made their guesses.

The Player with the most points each round has to down his drink in one.

Example Round:


Player One: 'The Man is wearing...

...A Hugo Boss Scarf from Harrods...
...Paul Smith Suit Jacket from Paul Smith...
...John Smedley Jumper from Selfridges...
...Rocha by John Rocha Jeans from Debenhams...
...Clae Chuka Boots from ASOS.com...
...Calvin Klein Boxer Shorts from TK Maxx...
...and Topman Socks from Topman'

'Total Cost of The Man's Complete Outfit is £520'.

Player Two: 'The Man is wearing...

...A Paul Smith Scarf from Paul Smith...
...Paul Smith Suit Jacket from Paul Smith...
...Hugo Boss Jumper from Harrods...
...Ted Baker Jeans from Ted Baker...
...Clarks Originals from ASOS.com...
...and Topman Boxer Shorts and Socks from Topman'

'Total Cost of The Man's Complete Outfit is £490'.

The Man scores: 'I am wearing...

...A Paul Smith Scarf from Paul Smith...
...Ozwald Boateng Suit Jacket from Harrods...
...Hugo Boss Jumper from Selfridges...
...Ted Baker Jeans from Ted Baker...
...Clarks Originals Boots from Oi Polloi...
...and Topman Boxer Shorts from Topman...
...and Marks & Spencer Socks from Marks & Spencer's'

'Total Cost of Complete Outfit is £635.
Player One scores 245 points.
Player Two scores 205 points
Player One scores the most amount of points - down your drink!'.

Merry Christmas from all at The Gospel!

Christmas Knits

These dodgy knits may have been confined to the wardrobes of only your unfunny uncle and Noel Edmonds in years gone by (bad luck if your unfunny uncle actually is Noel Edmonds) but in recent years they've made a comeback into the collections of some of our favourite brands.

We're sure some of you have been wearing them in secret anyway but for the time being you can emerge with pride and join the Fairisle Brigade!

Here's our pick of the bunch...
