From the start of the comming Academic year, students studying medicine at UCL will be taught in the latest pratical techniques to form the basis of their surgical skills. This technique known as 'game play' will involve testing their hand techniques using such games as Buckaroo. Professor Nik 'the nip' Tucker PHD explains "My research has demonstrated that surgeons that prodominatly have games like Buckaroo, Jenga, and Kewplonk in their offices correlates to the happiness of their clients after surgery."

A nice idea, especially for a first post. A spell check before you submit certainly helps.

You missed "pratical".
And "streete" is a bit dodgy, while we're at it...
(But I expect that's a reference to your surname, or something.)

Ok, the piece has a lot of limitations granted, and I actually appreciate the criticism as I want to improve my writing technique, which is one of the reasons for joining.
However, in regards to the name, that is a reference to my surname, for those that know me, and for those that do not, well you now know.

Choose a stick, pull it out. Choose carefully - pull the wrong one and "Ker-plunk", the game is over. For 2-4 players. Styles may vary.
