Sixtyplusurfers has teamed up with
Drumond Park to offer three lucky readers the
chance to win His and Hers, the perfect game for
Valentine's Day.
Forget chocolates and flowers – they’re so last year!
This time get ahead of the game and choose a unique
Valentine’s gift for your partner that’s guaranteed to
last and last, with year-round fun and laughter, both
for yourselves and for your friends!
Launched just before Christmas, Drumond Park’s hugely
entertaining
His and Hers
board game (rrp £32.99) was highly successful over the
festive season… and we have three copies to give away in
our latest competition.
Brilliant for gatherings both small and large (or
stay-at-home couples will get plenty of enjoyment
playing by themselves!),
His and Hers
is a fantastic addition to Drumond Park’s top selling
LOGO and Best of British board game series. Aimed at a
16+ audience, it follows the same ‘big brands’ picture
and recognition formula as its highly successful
predecessors.
This enlightening game playfully highlights the endless
differences between the sexes, but it’s all good, light
hearted fun with absolutely nothing antagonistic about
the game play. Divide your ‘playmates’ into single sex
teams, and have some gloriously riveting, raucous,
laugh-out-loud fun… celebrating what makes women women
and men men!
Example Questions (blue
for boys,
pink
for girls)
To within five months, how long does it take on average

(Three years)
What is the most popular personal gift assortment of

Men speak on average 12,500 words a day. To the nearest

New Year’s Day is the first day of the year. What number

What is the only body muscle that is attached at one end

(the tongue – now, now ladies!)

February, in a Leap Year)
Which type of footwear do 82% of men find the sexiest on
a woman?(Stilettos)
How many people out of 10 have married their first love?(four)

All three of the blockbusting Logo board games have been
developed entirely for the UK market. First in the
series was Logo (also rrp £32.99), which features
picture and knowledge cards asking questions about
hundreds of our best-known brands – from Bird’s Eye and
BMW to Walkers crisps and Wrigley’s gum.
Then came The Best of British (same price) which
celebrates what makes Britain best, and covers a host of
much loved – and sometimes quirky – lifestyle icons and
highly popular products… from cups of tea, the weather
forecast, double-decker buses, pubs on every corner, the
‘national pastime’ of queuing… to lollipop ladies,
sandcastles, conkers, Blackpool rock, Big Ben and Eros…
We could go on ad infinitum. Needless to say, absolutely
everyone loves playing these games.

Have
you ever considered adopting a cat? At Cats
Protection there are over 6,000 cats and kittens in our care at
any one time, all looking for the perfect home.
All of our cats have been
treated to our minimum veterinary standards, meaning that
they have been examined by a veterinary surgeon, been
vaccinated against flu and enteritis, treated against fleas,
roundworm and tapeworm and any sick cats have been blood
tested for FIV and FeLV.
If the cat has not been neutered
before or during its time in our care, we will normally
ensure owners have done this after adoption.

can now enjoy the game from the comfort of your own home thanks
to

online bingo is the traditional 90 ball game, although you will
also be able to play the American 75 ball version at some bingo
sites.
There are hundreds of different bingo sites to
choose from, so picking out the right one to play at can be
tricky. But there are sites, such as
Whichbingo.co.uk
where you can find player reviews and ratings for all of the
different games.
One of the most popular bingo sites is Foxy
Bingowhich has been awarded the
WhichBingo Site of the Month award on numerous occasions. You
have probably seen Foxy Bingo on TV recently, as they often run
high-profile advertising campaigns.
Also rising in popularity is the amount of bingo
sites that offer no
deposit bingo This is
essentially free bingo and lets you try out the sites without
actually spending any of your own money.
It is a great way to
discover a new bingo site that you
wouldn't perhaps normally play at.

Send in a Romantic Story or a Poem to the
Sixtyplusurfers Chat & Socialise page and you
could win two fantastic Jumbo Puzzles.
Sixtyplusurfers has teamed up with Jumbo to
offer one lucky reader the chance to win
two
brand new puzzles from their popular Wasgij and
Falcon ranges. And with Valentine's Day just
around the corner, what better than to enjoy an
afternoon completing a puzzle with your loved
one.
Get your puzzling skills at the ready with the
brand new Falcon de Luxe 500 piece Car Boot Sale
jigsaw puzzle. What better than to forget about
these cold winter days, than to enjoy piecing
together a beautiful scene depicting a
traditional village car boot sale in the middle
of Summer.
You’ll simply love the highly detailed images of
these classic cars with their boots raised high
and wide, displaying a variety of vintage
clothes, decorative antiques, traditional board
games and many more delights.
So why not spend some time in the comfort of
your home enjoying this fabulous 500 piece
jigsaw puzzle.
If you’re keen for a bigger challenge then put
your puzzling skills to the test with the new
1,000 piece Wasgij Destiny 12: Market Mayhem
jigsaw puzzle. With traditional jigsaws the
puzzler builds the image that they can see on
the box – but with Wasgij they have to build an
image that is different to that shown on the
box.
Wasgij Destiny challenges you to use your
imagination and clues provided on the box, to
puzzle what the characters and scenery will look
like in the modern day. This colourful and
humorous illustration of an early 1950s market
place is crowded with stalls selling fresh fruit
and vegetables, a fine china stall and outside
the Town Hall is a cattle market.
But panic has
spread through the market place as one of the
bulls has broken free of the pen! Can you use
the clues provided and your imagination to piece
together what the scene will look like in the
modern day? Only the puzzle holds the answer!
This 1,000 piece puzzle is £11.99 RRP and
available from Amazon, Argos, Hobbycraft, Smyths
and Play.com.
