Oh my god. Something awful has just happened, help.

I've just lost The Game

Bugger

Bloody hell. Oh well, at least I can get dd back

Ffs!

This doesn't and never has annoyed me. I always find it genuinely bizarre that adults 'do' this. I remember this being a thing about 20 years ago when I was 18, and even then I thought it was a bit stupid. 🥱

Being old doesn't mean you have to grow up, I'm always more 🥱 by the posters that have to post disparaging replies. Our family still play lots of 'childish' games.

Op you are a bugger.

Damn your insolence, OP!
Question: Once you have lost The Game does that mean you can stop playing?

Bastard. I think I should make a list of these ops who start such threads and regular reminders! 😬

I'm not sure.

I've lost the game millions of times, but just reset and start again, until the next mumsnetter ruins it.

Grrrrr….

Exactly Ducksurprise

I love childish games.
When we were kids, I used to flick my brother's ear. He would quietly be reading a book or watching TV and like a ninja I'd creep up on him and give his ear a good flick.

We are now in our 40s and I still do it.

Irritates the fuck out of him, entertains me. Win Win

Go flick someone's ear.

This 'game' is really fucking annoying & pathetic.

There are enough really awful things happening right now without idiots doing this. Grow up.

Oh ffs nice one! Hahahaha

Aaagh! Hopefully I can respawn.

I'm going to go and wake 16 yo DD. Not only nust she also lose The Game, but it's also the first of the month - pinch, punch!

Fuck sake. The kids are crying now

You absolute arse.

Good grief how rude are you?? It’s a harmless game. As you say there are enough awful things going on in the world so why shit over people trying to have some fun. You need to grow up.

Damn it! I haven’t been caught out by this in absolute ages.

@LatteLoverLovesLattes Having a bad day?

You git op!

Didn’t take long for the ‘this game is childish and stupid’ crew to arrive!

I lost last week when I was in a charity shop with DD and she found a book called ‘The Game’ and stuck it in front of my face! I have raised a worthy opponent!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I hadnt lost it for at least a year!

Argh ya bastard!

@IWasBornInAThunderstorm

DrSbaitso uh oh. I googled it. Doesn't look like my sort of film I thought.. then I saw How to Play The Game.

ARGGHHHH DOOMED FOREVER

Slightly off the topic, but The Game - ie the film - is sooooo good, second only to Falling Down in Michael Douglas’s roles. I’m going to rewatch it tonight now you’ve reminded me……

YABVU to make me lose too

It's never annoyed me either, but from a discussion I had on a previous the Game thread, I don't think it actually genuinely annoys anyone. From what I understand, the people who are playing it are are just pretending to be really annoyed /upset and when they say things like "I had a 5 year winning streak" they haven't actually been keeping track of it. Players, please correct me if I am wrong!

I personally don't understand what is fun /amusing about it, but we all have different senses of humour so not going to criticise those who play/join in.

And I do sort of like seeing who can come up with the most annoyed sounding post.
