Try this nice little trick...
Identify the person/group you hold responsible and point at them...

Now count the fingers......You have one finger pointing at the object of your anger...AND THREE FINGERS POINTING BACK AT YOURSELF

Now you know who is really to blame... it's actually quite good as it works in every situation when you are blaming someone.

I have mastered a way of pointing that means that my sofa is currently to blame

I may develop arthritis but at least nothing is my fault anymore

FolderReformedScruncher · 28/06/2016 08:45

I'm Roy Hodgeson and so is my husband Grin

Aramynta · 28/06/2016 08:46

I'm Roy Hodgson. End of.

PanEuropeanPan · 28/06/2016 08:47

Yo may be Roy Hodgeson, but you aren't Roy Hodgson Folder.

I always said PurpleDaisies should be manager so I can't be to blame for this one.

PanEuropeanPan · 28/06/2016 08:47

and neither is your husband.Grin

Are you five, Profwhateverbug?

LemonDrizzleFake · 28/06/2016 08:52

What a load of nonsense. How is you posting rubbish on the internet my fault?

(I'm pointing at you Prof.)

I blame thatcher

Vinorosso74 · 28/06/2016 08:56

I jokingly said to DP that Jeremy Corbyn would get the blame from some of the 'papers.

HazelBite · 28/06/2016 08:59

The news/state of the country is depressing enough, but personally I point my three fingers at Boris (I'm double jointed of course)

Helmetbymidnight · 28/06/2016 09:02

In that case, I might start a thread called 'The dice was loaded from the start'
(which is more fitting, I reckon)

TanTanNubuck · 28/06/2016 09:06

This is like one of those crappy things that come up on a FB feed.

FairNotFair · 28/06/2016 09:10

Cut and paste this (don't share!) if you love little kittens and hate unkindness

ThoraGruntwhistle · 28/06/2016 09:12

What the fluff did that OP even mean? I'm not responsible for the football or the for the referendum result. Also I don't tend to go around pointing at anyone, it's bloody rude.

fluffypenguinbelly · 28/06/2016 09:12

I actually just got some sick in my mouth reading that. What a pile of horse shit.

Helmetbymidnight · 28/06/2016 09:12

Don't you mean:

95% of the population don't care about kittens or unkindness. Will you be the 5% of people who do?
Cut and paste this if you love kittens and hate unkindness

GoudyStout · 28/06/2016 09:17

OP, doesn't Mummy tell you it's rude to point, even at the cute kittens?

Have the schools broken up already?

ARumWithAView · 28/06/2016 09:25

Wow: scientific proof!

i actually have no idea what this is? have you had one too many merlot?

Beautifully put, Helmet. Very compelling. 95% of the population don't care. Just a few of you will bother to cut and paste... and I think I know who you possibly are, because you are gawjuss people and not heartless bastards who don't care about lovely, lovely memes.

ParadiseCity · 28/06/2016 09:32

Some of you will scroll past and ignore this. But SOME OF YOU ARE NOT HART-LESS BASTARDS. Cut and paste if you think the England team should spend more time looking after kittens.

"Wow: scientific proof!

[apologises to cat: it was ME who puked up Whiskas]"

Well in fairness in that situation...you have a cat, sick on the carpet is kind of inevitable...and I'm sure the cat is now looking at you like it's your fault, it is that just mine?
