Which is exceptionally irritating, coz I haven’t lost in aggggees.
No one is home, so I thought I would tell you lot instead.

I hate this bloody game.

Ever since freshers week circa 2002 I’ve been cursed with it.

My advice is if you don’t know: don’t ask!

FatToni · 25/07/2018 18:57

It's been over a year since I lost. But since I forgot I was playing anyway, I don't mind 😁

Grrrrrrrr!!!!!!

SpaceDinosaur · 25/07/2018 18:58

I'm losing almost daily at the moment... but I'm rehearsing Chess and the line is literally "everybody's playing the game"

And every time I curse in my head!

I was at a festival last year which had ticker tape of texts on the big screens before the bands started. All “sam’s excited to be here!” / “Ben I love you” type things

Someone texted in “you just lost the game” and then was a huge collective sigh and groan of disappointment. It was excellent.

I'd be more upset but the game randomly popped into my head about a fortnight ago. I was pissed off then as I'd be on quite a good run. I tend to declare on Twitter.

MsHomeSlice · 25/07/2018 19:11

i shall whatsapp the FAMALAM group immediately and spread the joy. Hmm

Hamandcheesebaguette · 25/07/2018 19:11

Well
That must be about 4 years I've not lost for Angry

AnExcellentUsername · 25/07/2018 19:11

I didn't realise this was still a thing...

safariboot · 25/07/2018 19:11

ExecutiveDiamondBossBabeHun · 25/07/2018 19:12

Unbelievable!!!!! You just ruined my 41 year long streak. How could you. Hope you're happy.

Because I too just lost the game Sad

Yabvu thanks 😀

Myusernameismud · 25/07/2018 19:19

I was blissfully unaware of the game and because I hate not knowing what things are, I googled it. I am now playing the game.

Condragulations · 25/07/2018 19:20

The game was stupid when I was a teenager but then so was I so I took part and pretended to care when I “lost”.
I honestly couldn’t give a fuck now. It’s quite refreshing Grin

Roomba · 25/07/2018 19:20

Damn you, OP! DS and I just lost for the first time in about six months...

frankie001 · 25/07/2018 19:21
