The ‘late arrivals at..’ was a game played on a BBC Radio 4 show we used to listen to years ago called ‘Just a Minute‘. We’ve revived the idea and here with the below suggestions of our own:
- From Belgrade, Mr. and Mrs. Sthetic and their daughter Anna, who’s a bit dopey.
- From Minsk, Mr. and Mrs. Philacticshock and their daughter Anna, who has allergies.
- From Ireland, Mr. and Mrs. O’ Rexia and their daughter Ann who has lost a lot of weight.
- From Istanbul, Mr. and Mrs. Etomall and their daughter Paris, who feels no pain.
- From Croatia, Mr. and Mrs. Biotic and their son Anto, who has a cure for everything.
- Mr. and Mrs. T’septic and their daughter Ann, who’s has a thing about germs.
- Mr. and Mrs. Molean and their son Ger, who is currently dating Mr. and Mrs. T’Septic’s daughter.
- From Ireland, Mr. and Mrs. O’Rea and their daughter Diana, who’s a great runner.
