This being stw I'll go for no 3 🤔
@Dickboy has it.
MTB, BMX, Klunker and Gravel. Never a proper road bike though
Okay here goes:-
1. I have bungee jumped at Victoria falls.
2. John Fashanu broke my bicycle
3. My wife "caught my eye" when she was just 8yrs old 😲
Fash didn’t break your bike?
Yeah, that old BS about bungee jumping...
@Dickyboy: 1 is the lie
TomHoward has it, was years ago and I was on a tricycle not a bike & John buckled the wheel on it.
Bungee jumping at Vic falls was horrible, felt like my brain was going to pop, was violently sick and felt like I had a hangover all day ☹️
1. I've had a longer than was comfortable kiss with a rockstar.
2. I was going to be an extra in Hollyoaks, but was turned down at the last minute, as I 'Didn't have the look they needed'.
3. I went to school with a gold medal winning cyclist.
3, I remember you mentioning bout #1 a while ago
What it needs is a moderator to clean up the crap posts and let the game flow 😉
Sorry. )-:
3, I remember you mentioning bout #1 a while ago
+1, option 2 is far too creative to not be true.
OR IS IT?!
I have kissed this rockstar
(Forgot i’d mentioned it here tbh...)
I went to school with a few people that were in Hollyoaks as extras (and a future Doctor Who) but the one person I remember most for their apres school talents, (maybe I inspired them, who knows...) was this young lad:
Is that Ed Clancy?
It is.
Also, you've shown your hand before anyone guessed correctly. Which has bollocksed the system. Shall I do another Starter for 3?
EDIT apologies, Somafunk got it correct. Over to them then.
So no one has won.
No no, I'm mistaken, it's your turn.
Nobody guessed it, in 4 1/2 hours... I can go again if needs be?
Bobbins, I'm mistaken in being mistaken. In my defence, it's 1:30 in the morning.
Er, I dunno. Have another drop if you want?
I guessed 3 so I chose a “truth”, the lie is 2. And as tom “outed” himself with expose of “2” as a lie this round is now fubar
I see a flaw in this game as it only takes 3 posts to guess correctly as there is zero incentive to repeat the guess of previous posts, but I’m just sat here listening to music whilst browsing right wing American and qanon nut jobs on Twitter discuss how the democrats seeded the clouds over Texas to drop snow and altered the jet stream so a big freeze would occur, I really need a distraction from “fruitloop batshit mentalists”, go again tom.
Oh, you know, I'll just take it.
1) I've been asked if I'd like a Jelly Baby by the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker).
2) I've been SPELLCASTING: D-I-S-M-I-S-S-ed by Knightmare's Treguard (Hugo Myatt).
3) I've been One Year Out on Radio 2's Popmaster (Ken Bruce).
I see a flaw in this game
The flaw is that I bollocksed up. Sorry.
And yeah, you're right, there's no reason to repeat guesses. If you've any suggestions as to how to improve it I'm all ears, I didn't put a vast amount of Game Design thought into this beyond it might be fun.
1. On the way to my wedding, we (me, best men, step dad and dad) had to interrupt a game of golf, as the pilot needed to use the fairway to land the helicopter we were in, as we were all too fat for it to land in the proper spot
2. Whilst working in a bar pre smoking ban, I refused service to Dave Courtney (author, actor and self proclaimed gangland enforcer) unless he put his cigarette out whilst stood at the bar. He did as he was told.
3. On a different occasion, working in the same bar, Timmy Mallet was doing a sort of stand-up/grown up wackaday show. He hit me so many times over the head with that damned hammer, I had to take the next day off.
That’s more like it, utterly improbable yet quite possible scenarios
Can’t be #1 as a helicopter pilot would be very unlikely to fly with an excessive load, and 4 + 1 in a small commercial hire helicopter?.
#3?, nope. Any self respecting barman would’ve ****ing lamped him at the first hit.
So I guess #2 is a lie
Ah, bugger, I've fragmented it again.
Can’t be #1 as a helicopter pilot would be very unlikely
So #1 is surely the lie for just that reason.
If I'm right, next batch is above. If I'm wrong, crack on.
I am totally sidetracked by the prospect of getting a helicopter to a wedding. If this is true and not total nobblers, is there a forum thread elsewhere that covers the tale of this? Were there no classic cars available? Did the bride come in by microlight? I feel I might be missing some key information here. And that 3 is the lie. Timmy Mallet probably did the whacking while you were in airforce one or some such.
So I guess #2 is a lie
You guess wrong
So #1 is surely the lie
Afraid not.
And that 3 is the lie.
Bingo! Hannah wins.
(We were close to the weight limit, but the helicopter landing area was encircled by trees, meaning the pilot would have had to fly over, stop, then drop dead straight down. He didn’t really fancy that so, after looping round a couple of times, did a constant descent onto the golf course across the road. Hotel/golf club were furious, threatened to get the pilots license revoked etc, but you know what they say about good landings being the ones you walk away from... speaking of which, here’s a totally not staged photo of us doing just that.
I still have so many questions about the wedding helicopter, but, whoop!
1) my parents used to make me feed my sweets to the dogs if I was naughty. They stopped practice this when the chocolate made the dogs sick.
2) I once briefly had a kitten but it went missing. My great aunt found it drowned in the water butt and pulled it out as I watched. I said ‘that didn’t last very long’.
3) childhood holidays were almost exclusively spent at various British nudist campsites and beaches. One time my Grandparents came so we went to Butlins instead.
Oh man, I clicked on this thinking it was a Charles & Eddie appreciation thread. I is disappoint...
That’s not the kinda game I play
Funkmasterp is incorrect. I have seen things. Including up a Frenchman’s actual anus on one memorable but rare trip abroad.
Pray for Hannah 😕
I'm going with the dog toffee. So to speak.
3) childhood holidays were almost exclusively spent at various British nudist campsites and beaches. One time my Grandparents came so we went to Butlins instead.
Well, that sort of thing is generally frowned upon by the naturist community but I’d imagine it happens all the time at Butlins and they’d be pretty cool about it.
And it’s the kitten. Unless Hannah is an actual monster.
Lol perchy. Had to read that a couple of times before I snorted at that one.
@cougar has it. My parents did make me feed my sweets to the dogs, but this didn’t make the dogs sick, so they never stopped it as a punishment. But they did add in feeding them to the birds. One time they found me putting my sweets on the bird table without being told off - I’d opted for pre-emotive punishment.
Cool. Then I'll repost my out-of-turn one from earlier.
1) I’ve been asked if I’d like a Jelly Baby by the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker).
2) I’ve been SPELLCASTING: D-I-S-M-I-S-S-ed by Knightmare’s Treguard (Hugo Myatt).
3) I’ve been One Year Out on Radio 2’s Popmaster (Ken Bruce).
You’ve never been on Popmaster. I know the other two to be true.
I did wonder how long people's memories were.
Correct, your turn PP.
1. I invented the dark chocolate Tunnock teacake
2. At university, I tried my hand at doing stand up comedy in a proper comedy club. I wasn’t very good.
3. I once body checked an aged Jimmy Saville and knocked him to the floor. I just growled at him and walked on.
I don't understand #2 in cougars post?
It’s a nerd thing. I totally got it
Knightmare was a kids TV show from the early 90s. Dungeons and Dragons style. Google it. It’s got Cougar written all over it.
I don’t understand #2 in cougars post?
Knightmare was a cult D&D style kids' TV show in the 80s. If you've never seen it, the reference will make no sense to you. The host of the show handled magic by shouting "SPELLCASTING" and then spelling out whatever magic word they'd found in the game. When the team lost, as they almost always did, they were booted out with the spell "DISMISS" and the next team would be magicked in.
I saw the guy who played the DM years later at a con, and they did a Q&A afterwards. I jumped to the mic and asked him to DISMISS me from the room. Which he did, with trademark scenery-chewing overacting. It was ace.
@perchypanther I’m going for number 1
Edit - Internet high five for knocking Saville over even if it isn’t true.
Edit 2 - Knightmare was ace.
I’m going for number 1
Wrong. That is totally true
