Watch the entire collection of The West Wing, or another series, although I would definitely recommend The West Wing, or Sex and the City0

Wife Swapping or Husband Swapping might be an idea.0

We sit around downloading old songs with a few beers- always fun if you've a similar taste in music.
We also play MMOs- a bit geeky but if you're into computers it can be good- I recommend LOTRO lol. We play as two characters and team up online.
Have a cocktail night?
We get hours of enjoyment out of trivial pursuits- picked up an immaculate version for £1 in local charity shop.
ETA as box sets have been suggested earlier- consider HeroesDon't suffer alone - if you are experiencing Domestic Abuse contact the National Domestic Abuse Helplines

Was going to say scrabble, but already been said.
Read to each other, including funny voices. Or husky voices depending on the book chosen."Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves." - Norm Franz0 -
ETA : I'm laughing here now at all your ??????'s wondering what I meant, as boy girl fruit veg doesn't sound very clean does it LOL!
If you'd said the alphabet game, I'd have been there!!!!!!!
MMOs? Sounds computery, so don't think that's for us.
And thanks for all the suggestions of DVDs, but we've done every series we're interested in watching. Heroes, Alias, 24 (1-8 twice), West Wing, Wire, Coupling, Friends, Blackadder, even Chronicles of Narnia (the BBC version:o) and Red Dwarf. For those of you who hadn't thought of it before, you can make some fun games up with these...eg every time Jack says "damn it" you have to do a forfeit. Lucy's "oh Aslan" has a VERY good memory attached to itWho made hogs and dogs and frogs?
