Spies versus Aliens

Until recently, I was rather good at spotting the aliens amongst us. Honestly, it's true. Just take a look around you - in the supermarket, at the gym, in the post office. Whose eyes are just a little too close-set? A head a little too high-domed? And what about the size of those feet? That sock and shoe combination perhaps? Believe me, there are clear signs of alien life all around us.

I was quite shocked however when Mr B proclaimed that there are also plenty of spies around. Spies cannot be over 6ft tall, they pretend not to know about Dame Kelly Holmes and have never heard of Feargal Sharkey Junior. You can easily catch them out by asking about their 'plates of meat' or 'Can you Adam and Eve it?'

That's because these are spies from other countries blending in to our village communities, trying not to be conspicuous. So we play our little light-hearted game when out and about, a perfect opportunity at the Village drinks night last week. 

It was a pleasant evening in the pub, followed by us giggling all the way home, as we played 'Spy versus Alien'. I think we both won, but we definitely agreed that she is spy and he is an alien. Try it for yourself.
