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

QuietNinjaTardis · 25/07/2018 21:03

I haven’t lost the game for so long and it’s always some fucker on Mumsnet who does it AngryGrin

I have not lost the game of games this year. For those unaware the game of games is Mornington Crescent.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 25/07/2018 21:12

True. I first lost it on here.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 25/07/2018 21:13

I'd had a run of 48 years at that point.

WoollyMollyMonkey · 25/07/2018 21:14

I have never heard of this game so had to read up in the posted link. I am now playing the game.

WoollyMollyMonkey · 25/07/2018 21:15

I have now lost the game - didn’t take long did it haha!

QOD · 25/07/2018 21:22

They talk about this alllll the time at work. I refuse To ask questions as it’s so fuckin annoying 😂
Now I know to continue to ignore

DrWhy · 25/07/2018 21:25

Oh FGS I’ve been on a winning streak for at least 5 years! Now I’ve lost it too!

NorbertTheDragon · 25/07/2018 21:28

Agh! My streaks aren't very long as I have annoying teenagers who randomly shout out "the game" so I lose a lot. However I have got my revenge by showing them this thread. Grin

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 25/07/2018 21:31

Well played Norbert. 😂👍

Five years. FIVE YEARS.

I've shared my pain on FB....if I'm going down they're all going with me.

strawberrisc · 25/07/2018 21:41

If what I’ve just read on Wikipedia is true, how on earth have some of you gone YEARS?

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 25/07/2018 21:45

Because they've avoided threads like this!

Thunderpunt · 25/07/2018 21:46

Only been playing it a couple of hours (since seeing this thread) and just opened my iPad where I had previously googled 'The Game' and so have just bloody lost after only a couple of hours. Am I the biggest loser??

umpteennamechanges · 25/07/2018 21:46

@strawberrisc Wikipedia confirms it's either been going since the 90's or the 70's.

I can't remember whether I started playing at Uni (c.2000) or just after (c.2006 ish) but it's been at least 12 years total...

Hangingaroundtheportal · 25/07/2018 21:48

OMG I have literally never heard of this?! Where have I been?

strawberrisc · 25/07/2018 21:49

But if you have to declare it - doesn’t the person you declare it to also end their winning streak?

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 25/07/2018 21:54

Exactly! Which is why we're all swearing at the OP! 😂

speakout · 25/07/2018 21:55

I have just learned of this and I know for sure I won't think of it after this evening.

Far too busy with my broomstick pimping right now......
