I love my love

This is one of a family of games (like "I went to market...") with similar rules. For this one, the first player starts by saying "I love my love with an A because she is so ...", and then something beginning with A, perhaps "Artistic". The next player follows with "I love my love with a B because she is so Artistic and ..." a B word, perhaps "Beautiful". You carry on like this until someone can't think of a word, or you come to your senses.

If you get to Z, the next letter is A again. If you run out of petrol on the A1 at 2 o'clock in the morning you can get through several alphabets before finding a petrol station that's open.

"impossible" letters can be excluded by agreement (X gets difficult pretty quick), and compound words are usually admitted only if they're funny enough.
