I think we all know that every single person on here can and will eventually write an award winning novel or screenplay so can you stop making such boring suggestions please.

Alright. Acting then. If I was less ugly I could be a massive movie star, as it is I think I’ll probably be one of your “character actors”.

You also have to spend time with men who have a facebook profile photo of them holding a fish, and a timeline of re-posted Father For Justice status updates.

Do the lateral passing thing. That’ll scare them.

That’s fucking beginner’s play mate, you have to get that mastered before you’re even welcome on the table.

we played the card game over christmas and it was quickly abandoned after about 15 ‘catchphrases’ as i’d won about 12 of them and some people didn’t find it much fun
seriously tempted to apply to go on it - you can win LOADS!!!

My sister in law has just impulse-bought a darts board as she decided after a couple of games over new year that she was going to become amazing.

Showed her this thread. She’s delighted by your support :smile:

Competitive Pokémon - I’m serious here, it’s a thing. Lot to learn about Gen VII, but when I’m good I’m great.

Do you mean the card game or the computer games?

#85

The classic RPGs. Played Red and Silver back in the day on the Gameboy, then Pearl/Platinum and Black on the DS. Haven’t played the 3DS games (cba, too slow), but I dabble with Pokémon Showdown for battling online.

Never messed with the CCG. Seemed like only darkness awaited me there.

Ah ok. I don’t really know anything about the CCG except that it’s still insanely popular (there’s going to be a 1000 person tournament at some penoid event I’m going to), that it involves actually flipping a coin to determine the outcomes of some card effects, and that if there’s anything less dignified than playing a daft card game with other man-children, it’s playing one with actual seven year olds.

Sorry, I gave you a bit of a curt answer earlier because I was in a bit of a grump. I don’t feel like I’m excelling at parenthood (or life in general) but thanks for saying so anyway.

I think you could well be right. And also, I have a tendency to (a) focus on my failures and shortcomings and (b) compare myself to everyone in the entire world (rather than thinking ‘yep, things are pretty okay for me’). Whereas with an A Level, you could score a far from perfect mark (70%) and still get an A, which was the best available mark.

This is definitely something I think we’re all guilty of to varying degrees and it’s something I genuinely worry about for future generations as it’s only getting worse the more you get to see of what everyone else chooses to show off about. You’re a good dude.
