Advantages: It is great fun

Disadvantages: Not many pubs have one

Foosball, or table football as it was better known before Joey and Chandler bought one, is a great game. Essentially it is a two player game where you twist little pegs on sticks in order to get a ball to go into a hole!

This underestimates the incredible competitiveness of the average pub goer. This is a fast and furious football game which requires skill, self control and an overdeveloped competition gland.

People who have never kicked a ball in their lives can win at this game, and it is great fun to torment lesser players by offering to beat them with one hand behind your back, or standing on one leg.

You can buy childrens sets relatively cheaply for home, but these are unlikely to withstand the serious battering that drunken adults will inflict on a set.

www.firebox.com will sell you a proper pub table, but it will cost you a fortune, take up a whole room and cause serious domestic strife!

The Millenium Dome boasts a multiplayer version, where you can play 11 a side table football. This brings out the worst in everyone, and it is always fun to scream abuse at total strangers and take delight in whupping small children who expect you to let them win.

Shame on you for not letting the kids win :)I think table football is one of the best things in a pub, especially when its free (like in our local). It has all the social aspects that the pokies dont have, and probably burns more calories too!!
