Can I just say, I have never really understood it, I had to literally get DP to explain how you won the other day. We never had this AT ALL when I was growing up (old ) (Nottingham)

I think I was brought up with Paper Scissors Stone (parents are Midlands and Northern) but since moving out and watching too much American TV I think I'd say Rock Paper Scissors.

Vitamints You are a heretic. It's the Little-endians who are the perverts. Everyone knows that.

I am gobsmacked at how unreasonable you are being. It is obviously rock paper scissors.

You monster.

Paper Scissors Stone. RPS is American, because in British English a rock is not the size of your fist, it is bigger than a house and definitely can't be wrapped by a piddly sheet of A4. It was always PSS until about 10 years ago.

I reckon all you saying RPS have just forgotten.

Vitamints · 06/04/2015 20:19

Okay, fine. At 8.30pm, we all throw. The first two entries after 8.30pm are eligible. The winner out of those two gets to choose Which Is Better: PSS or RPS

Hope someone else does this too, or I'm going to look silly.

SCISSORS!

Hang on a minute, what am I saying? If no-one else does it, I win by default! Woo!

I declare myself a billy-no-mates the winner! Paper Scissors Stone it is.
