I saw it on a comment on a thread earlier about Things you wish you’d never read on here , and another thread saying someone has lost the game . Everyone seems to understand it and I feel so lost ?!?

Help , please enlighten me ?

I doubt it seeing as she died over 25 years ago...

@ememem84 Whamageddon starts on 1 December. The object is to get as far as possible into the month without hearing Last Christmas by Wham! Once you have heard it you are out.

Please get this thread deleted. I have lost about twenty times today already 👿😆

It's always Mumsnet that makes me lose the game Sad

I'm not sure if deleting the thread is allowed.

The rules of the game state that whenever you lose, you have to immediately announce it before starting over.

That's why people keep posting when they lose. And the people who say FFS are doing it by way of announcing that they've lost.

And yes, it is tedious. That's also why people swear about it.

If you tell your kids about the game, you will never know another moment's peace.

I hadn't heard of it until this thread. An almost 36 year streak gone before I knew it Shock

wheresmymojo · 20/12/2019 18:13

Oh FFS. I hadn't lost the game for years and now it's at least once a year on MN

And to think some people are baffled by Mornington Crescent, or forget the first rule of the 1999 film starring Ed Norton and Brad Pitt!

ImFreeToDoWhatIWant · 20/12/2019 20:56

Right back at ya! @FalalalalaloreanFortescue

I’ve been winning for over a year!

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 20/12/2019 21:18

FFS I’d forgotten this would be on my TIO.

LooksBetterWithAFilter · 20/12/2019 21:34

I had to text dd that I’d lost the game as soon as I read the thread title Hmm she was of course absolutely delighted Grin

We must have gone a good year but the last few months one or other of the dc has lost on an almost weekly basis.
