Dear Articulate

Six months ago, my husband got so angry at failing to describe the word 'dumpling' before the timer ran out, that he stormed out of the house and hasn't been seen since. I just wanted to say thank you.

Last week my Father who mysteriously hasn't said a word since 1963, was sitting in a corner as we played your game. Suddenly, obviously distressed by the inability of my Mother to guess a word I was describing, he shouted 'FISH you silly woman!' He hasn't stopped talking since.

Last week I was beaten up by my girl friend's Father. I was on the team with his wife, and was trying to describe the word 'panting' to her. With a flash of inspiration I pulled down my trousers to show my pants, before I remembered I wasn't wearing any. Now she keeps phoning me, and it's getting embarrassing.

Would you please replace the age limit on your game with an IQ limit? It was appallingly frustrating being on a team with someone who described 'Clay Pigeon' as 'a statue of a small bird'.

Last week I broke up with my boyfriend after he told his team I wasn't wearing any knickers, to help describe the word 'blush'.

My wife and I have only just stopped laughing. Whilst playing your game last night the word 'Accountant' cropped up. Lo and behold, that is the very profession we are employed in (We stopped laughing abruptly when it occurred to us that underpants may not be tax deductible). PS. We would be most grateful if you would refund the 20p postage.

I have won several Olympic gold medals, broken a number of world records and do a lot of work for charity. With such celebrity status I wasn't surprised to find my name on one of your game cards. However I was horrified to learn that a friend had managed to sum me up with the description, 'bald swimmer'.

Playing with your Extra Card set, I was disappointed to find a made-up word. You must be getting desperate, trying to make us describe words like 'Abundance'. When did you last see a fairy cake doing the two step?

I now make shop assistants guess what I want, by describing it 'Articulate-style'. Last week in Knightsbridge I was arrested in a toy department while trying to convey the phrase, 'stuffed animal'.

Thought that you should know that I've just lost my house, my car, and my Dinky toy collection thanks to me pointing at my wife while trying to describe the word 'Mammoth'.

While playing your game recently, my husband tried to describe the word, 'tempt' as 'something to do with fate'. He gave numerous examples like the chimney falling off the roof, the water pipes bursting and someone driving into the back of the car. Ironically, the chimney did fall off, the water pipes did burst and someone did drive into my car. That's the last time I play your game on Friday the 13th.
