To be furiously outraged and threaten to sue?

The Game.

Soz

@Horehound Yes they do. It's not a thing you actively do. Just when someone mentions 'the game" you say bugger and get on with your day and have a bit of a row with grumpy folk on MN. You're playing when you're not aware of it, that's why it's so annoying when you lose.

Mornington Crescent.

@purpleboy

Thank you to those who have explained it. I've never heard of it Quite a nice light hearted bit of fun, really curious though who out of my RL friends know about this.

Also I guess I've lost the game although the wiki page says you have a grace period of up to 30 minutes to forget about the game if you've only just found out about it.

Can I still be in the game wise mumsnetters?

@purpleboy

Hi there - once you read this you will have passed the 30 mins and so are not only in the game but have lost - twice already!

You're welcome

Mornington Crescent is one I don't understand but I don't get snarky about it. Who am I to piss on other people's chips?

Literally no one plays this. Am I the only one to find it weird that women pretend to play this and think it's cool to as well?!

You have weird ideas about what people think are cool

Its not cool in the slightest

And ‘elitist’ 😀😀😀😀😀

[quote Horehound]@NerrSnerr no, I'm saying the people on the thread don't play. They just pretend to which is what I find bizarre.[/quote]
Ah but that's just it, once you know about it, you are playing it. There is no choice involved.

You are, and that's that.

I do have Mornington Crescent envy

I was out via a Facebook friend this morning.

Ah but that's just it, once you know about it, you are playing it. There is no choice involved. grin

Ha! Hahaha

Oh NOES! Bugger and drat.

This reminds me of the rhyme thing on Mumsnet and no one could work out the end. God I can't remember the name of the guy all I remember is "for short" and everyone wa alike ohh it's cause he's walking up steps etc
Does anyone remember that?!

Its ringing a bell hore

I didnt really know about it but i heard 😀

@InsertCoolHalloweenNameHere if you’re referring to my post it’s a joke, and very much in the spirit of the game on Mumsnet, though possibly a tad elitist if you didn’t get it

@NamechangedforAIBU

OMG that's really harsh! I'm really disappointed that you would do something so cruel in the run up to Christmas.
I'm going to get my own back on you one day (unless you name change then I'll never know who you are)

I've just sent to all my friends.

If my Game is ruined then so is theirs!

Nooooo......must go a d ask my daughter how's her game going

I lost out a week ago after a long stretch so I don't feel too bad about this one. Well played OP.

@RufustheSniggeringReindeer I think it was Boswell, Bos for short.

And people were up in arms that it didn't make sense. Op never told us the answer lol.

Yeah I remember hore

I think it was the fallout that i saw

Loads of people saying they had to come back and explain themselves 😀

@OffredOfjune nothing wrong with just asking, it was the people saying they know what it's about but just don't 'get it' or calling it elitist.

It's just a bit of fun.

What is wrong with you? 😳😳

I’d been doing so well. Excellent game play, op! Kids have come down to see why I just swore.

Shite.... it has been months for me. You nob

Noooo!!!!!!

Wow could all the fun sponges on this thread please report to the wringing area to be thoroughly squeezed dry before being redeployed to the Christmas section. Some fuckers over there need telling that their Christmas Eve boxes are a load of wank and that anyone doing elf on a shelf is a prick.
