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

You fucker, I was on a decent streak of nearly a year I think!

Oh well my kids are all off skiing…… I feel I need to message them to share the news!

gogomomo2 · 07/12/2025 07:42

As I’ve never heard of this before, my street was 52 years!

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?

Same. 52 and never heard of the game

apart from the film Film called the game where he thinks he killed his brother and tried to kill his self

IAmTheLogLady · 07/12/2025 07:43

I lost recently too.
So only restarted a couple of days ago.

ThatGreatMember · 07/12/2025 07:46

wtaf!

Summerbay23 · 07/12/2025 07:48

Never heard of it either 🤷‍♀️

NessShaness · 07/12/2025 07:52

That’s my Christmas ruined.

I was doing so well!

Weird and not funny just weird and dumb

What's weird is people who feel the need to be nasty when they don't get something. Just scroll on.

Dammit. I reckon I was about 3 years in. Still in the pool for Whamageddon though…

GrannyOog · 07/12/2025 08:07

Well there’s a 55 year winning streak down the drain.

ChristmasMantleStatue · 07/12/2025 08:09

Bjorkdidit · 07/12/2025 07:22

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

Hoiks up trousers. Raises fists.

53 in January.

Fight fight!

Cheepcheepcheep · 07/12/2025 08:21

I lost the Game a couple of days ago, it was mentioned on the radio.

This comes up on my Facebook memories periodically (an ex boyfriend tagged me in it about 15 years ago) so I don’t ever get a decent run, alas.

Oh you utter arse!!! It’s been bloody years and I was doing brilliantly. Now off to ruin my DP’s morning.

Natsku · 07/12/2025 08:27

I lost a few days ago, announced it and my teenager groaned so I guess its going around the youth again now.

AliceTheBat · 07/12/2025 08:28

Ffs OP! 😂

I hadn't lost for ages

JurgenKloppsTeeth · 07/12/2025 08:41

As I'm a mere baby at 52 and 2 months I graciously concede to your seniority and experience. Unless fellow 52 YO @Blondeshavemorefun can just edge ahead of you?

828Pax · 07/12/2025 08:46

Noooooo!

Fangisnotacoward · 07/12/2025 08:48

Diabolical! Well played!

Though oddly only a few days since I last lost the game. As I was thinking about games for Christmas, then i thought about "the game". And lost.

Sadly not. 52 and a half. Another 6
long months till summer and birthday blondes

so in the middle of you both

Coconutter24 · 07/12/2025 08:55

I’m going to take a wild guess that MIL wasn’t the only one drunk last night

SardinesOnGingerbread · 07/12/2025 09:00

Dammit Janet. I was up to about ten months. I shall have to call my eldest (23) today to make sure he's lost too.

DonttouchthatLarry · 07/12/2025 09:07

Sneaky OP - well played 👏

SconesAreABreakfastFood · 07/12/2025 09:08

Oh you prick! It’s been over a year!!!

Shakirasma · 07/12/2025 09:15

Ffs, I'd been winning for months!
