The Supermarket Game - Welcome!

Hello and welcome to the brand new game that is taking the world by storm. Or possibly not. In fact, probably not.

The Supermarket Game is designed to provide hours of pleasure whilst doing that most boring of tasks: Shopping.

I devised it during a particularly tedious session at Sainsburys. It has become an obsession. The graceful curve of the spine, the look of longing in the eyes, the wonderful diffused lighting, the "2 for 1 offer" signs in the background...so I thought I'd share the Supermarket Game with the rest of the world (or with the two people who have found their way to this blog).

Years ago, this game would not have evolved. Film is too expensive to process - but with the advent of the camera-phone, the stage has changed and the world is ready for a game of this artistic calibre.

HOW TO PLAY

The game is simple: Whilst your spouse or partner is busy shopping "hands free", leaving you to push the trolley, you reach into your pocket and whip out your trusty camera-phone device.

Wait until they are looking at the object of desire, wait...wait...until their eyes gleam with wanting to touch the object of desire...wait until the magic moment and SNAP!

Take a photo of them. It's that simple.

    Here's my first foray into the sport. I fear I may have skirted a couple of the rules... well, most of them. I'll let you decide.
