I assume it's 'tig', as 'tig' was called 'tag' when I was at school.

I was gladdened and amazed last week. Our local primary school, that my kids go to, put up a notice during the snowy days last week saying skidding and snow balls was allowed on the playground - thank goodness the fascists have not got everywhere.

Another case of sloping shoulders. Don't blame computer games because you don't have a handle on the situation. No doubt they'll try and blame GTA again, despite it's age-restriction.

It's 'tig'. Everyone knows that.

Never as good as 'bay-in' though.

As for kids they have been violent long before computer games in fact I would say they are less violent now because most stay in playing computer games.
