MNers, please settle a (lighthearted!) argument by saying I am right obvs Grin

DH have a thing where if we are watching a film or hear a song we each guess which year it was from and whoever is closest "wins" (I can't believe I'm actually writing this Blush)

Currently watching Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (even more embarrassing BlushGrin). DH said 1986. I guessed it was made in 1991. (DH insists that I add here he then said "no it was the 80s"...)

So who was closer? I maintain I am as I was two years away whilst DH was three years away. He maintains he is right as he said 80s whilst I said a date in the 90s.

So settle argument for us, please. We are currently not being excellent to each other Grin

But @FoofFighter the op doesn’t want to know wen the film was made, she wants to know who won her game, which is clearly her by the way. Google won’t tell her that now will it?

DHIsClearlyWrong · 24/06/2018 19:02

A NEW BILL AND TED?! With Keanu and Alex all grown up? Or a remake with young actors? I must google immediately.

With Keanu and Alex all grown up!

Look, proof.

They're in the phone booth and everything.

Me and my OH play that game as well. Also what year did a song come out, and how old is a celebrity!

DHIsClearlyWrong · 24/06/2018 19:05

Omg it's actually going to be them! That's a little different from John Wick, isn't it?!

DH has also just told me that Tom Hardy is going to be the next James Bond (while we are on the subject). According to DH, he will be the best Bond ever. I don't get the Tom Hardy love myself.

Another thing DH is wrong about Grin

You're so excited you posted it twice hygge Grin

OP posts:
Hygge · 24/06/2018 19:07

Did I?

I can only see it once, but at least it means the picture is there Grin

DHIsClearlyWrong · 24/06/2018 19:09

Actually I think I might have got a little over excited myself as it's only there once now for me BlushGrin

He's technically right that it was the 80s.
But disqualified from the competition for using a date range not guessing a year!

In order to re-enter future competitions he has to make the next cuppa/get the wine/whatever...
HTH Smile

Dagnabit · 24/06/2018 19:19

Dh and I play guess how old a celebrity is too...it has to be the year, not the decade!!

TofuCat · 24/06/2018 19:24

You get a point for being the closest and he gets 1/2 a point for the decade. You win!

BigDamnHero · 24/06/2018 19:27

I think it's pretty damn obvious YANBU, OP. You're clearly right and got the closer year. Your DH is a bad loser and not bodacious.

DHIsClearlyWrong · 24/06/2018 19:33

I did suggest we ask Officer Van Halen to adjudicate...

OP posts:
DHIsClearlyWrong · 24/06/2018 19:36

Oh god don't suggest points, we are just recovering from The Trivial Pursuit Row of 1996 when I was also right

my parents do this.its a race to the control and the info button.they do it with songs too "whos this""when was it released" I love watching it as its been done since I can remember and now we can join in.
its lovely.and better if you can sneak ur phone and google the answer before they get it :)

kateandme · 24/06/2018 19:44

at certain family get together we are now not allowed to play games haha

Mymouthgetsmeintrouble · 24/06/2018 19:50

We do this too , youre right

flumpybear · 24/06/2018 20:00

Ext time just say it was definitely between 1901 and 2018 😎
Two can play the range game!

DHIsClearlyWrong · 24/06/2018 21:01

I hear you kate. DD actually sent me this photo once Blush

I'm actually terribly competitive to be honest and a bad loser. I can still remember the relevant answers from the Trivial Pursuit Row and it was twenty two fucking years ago.

Not only are you right, OP, “D”H is a cheat. It’s not “guess the decade” is it? Hmm?

There should be a sanction.

BeautyBox · 24/06/2018 21:07

You're right, OP. Congrats

MyOtherUsernameisaPun · 24/06/2018 21:08

You are definitely right!

DHIsClearlyWrong · 24/06/2018 21:28

Well this is my favourite thread ever Smile

Thanks all!

SomeKnobend · 24/06/2018 21:37

Whilst you are obviously right OP, the important thing is that you should both be excellent to each other!
