Let's have a go at this great round from " I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue". To get things started here are the rules http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_on_I%27.....nitions.29
and a few examples from previous editions of the radio programme itself:
La Donna E Mobile - kebab van
Spaghetti Carbonara - the pasta's burnt
Pater Familias - I've heard this routine before
Nessun Dorma - Japanese camper van
Sic Transit Gloria Mundi - Gloria threw up in the van on Monday
Jihad - the cry of a Fundamentalist cowboy
and a classic from Mr Stephen Fry himself:
Countryside - the murder of Piers Morgan
Also - would anyone like to try some other games from this show? Suggestions: Good News Bad News, Historical Headlines, Last episode, Late Arrivals, and Quote Misquote.

They don't have to be original. Many of them probably aren't.
