And bloody told me that whilst there someone mentioned the game to her. So she has lost the fucking GAME. And because she told me, now I have lost the game also.

And as the rules of the game dictate I am duty bound to come on and inform you all that You have now also LOST THE GAME!

Sorry! Not sorry

Merry Christmas

Oh you utter arse!!! It’s been bloody years and I was doing brilliantly. Now off to ruin my DP’s morning.

I lost the Game a couple of days ago, it was mentioned on the radio.

This comes up on my Facebook memories periodically (an ex boyfriend tagged me in it about 15 years ago) so I don’t ever get a decent run, alas.

Well I'm also 52 and have never heard of the game so I suppose the winner is whichever one of us is older.

Hoiks up trousers. Raises fists.

Fight fight!

Well there’s a 55 year winning streak down the drain.

Dammit. I reckon I was about 3 years in. Still in the pool for Whamageddon though…

Weird and not funny just weird and dumb

What's weird is people who feel the need to be nasty when they don't get something. Just scroll on.

NessShaness · 07/12/2025 07:52

That’s my Christmas ruined.

I was doing so well!

Summerbay23 · 07/12/2025 07:48

I was going to say this. I thought it was going to be a post about a MIL who behaved like all humans do on occasions and the OP was up in arms because shock horror.

I've never heard of The Game. I'm 52. Do I win something?

Same. 52 and never heard of the game

apart from the film Film called the game where he thinks he killed his brother and tried to kill his self

gogomomo2 · 07/12/2025 07:42

As I’ve never heard of this before, my street was 52 years!

Thunderpunt · 07/12/2025 07:38

You fucker, I was on a decent streak of nearly a year I think!

Oh well my kids are all off skiing…… I feel I need to message them to share the news!

You’re all now playing the game and some of you are very humourless.

Both my adult children will be waking up to a message.

Soonenough · 07/12/2025 07:12

FFS . I was on a huge winning streak .

FrangipaniBlue · 07/12/2025 07:05

FGS when DS gets up for work I’m going to have to tell him about this thread now.
