And bloody told me that whilst there someone mentioned the game to her. So she has lost the fucking GAME. And because she told me, now I have lost the game also.

And as the rules of the game dictate I am duty bound to come on and inform you all that You have now also LOST THE GAME!

Sorry! Not sorry

Merry Christmas

Haha MIL sounds like good fun. I hope you gave her a large glass of water and some paracetamol before she went to bed.

Only idiots care about the game.

BootMaker · 07/12/2025 05:57

And only stuck up knobs would care this much. If you don’t care, just scroll on by.

Intrigued, I have never heard of this although it sounds right up my street …is it a particular area of the uk?

ThatNaiceMember · 07/12/2025 06:15

YAVVU but I have shared the misery by messaging my eldest, that will be a nice surprise when she wakes up 😀

I don't know, I grew up in West London and can't remember when I realised I was playing 🤣

I was going to say this. I thought it was going to be a post about a MIL who behaved like all humans do on occasions and the OP was up in arms because shock horror.

I've never heard of The Game. I'm 52. Do I win something?

FenceBooksCycle · 07/12/2025 06:24

This is not a MIL problem, this is a DH problem. It's his failure to keep firm boundaries that meant your MIL was able to do this to you. LTB.

Nope! You’ve now just lost the game. You’re welcome.

ChristmasMantleStatue · 07/12/2025 06:45

Dammit.

CurlewKate · 07/12/2025 06:56

I came this close to linking to Wham. You have no idea how lucky you all are….

Yamamm · 07/12/2025 07:00

You’re all now playing the game and some of you are very humourless.

FrangipaniBlue · 07/12/2025 07:05

FGS when DS gets up for work I’m going to have to tell him about this thread now.

Soonenough · 07/12/2025 07:12

Both my adult children will be waking up to a message.

jazzyjames · 07/12/2025 07:15

Ffs! I hadn't thought about the game for ages! Well played OP.

Well I'm also 52 and have never heard of the game so I suppose the winner is whichever one of us is older.
