Very disappointed this wasn't a new game for us all, I was very intrigued by the title

There was once even an actual forum for the query

It was deactivated a few years ago, can't be used any more. It came about after some BGRH shenanigans, probably drink fuelled, iirc.

Look someone needs to step up and invent a bouncy castle game for here now..

I don't know what it would be about, or how it may work but it needs to happen

Bouncy Castle SHEEPEEHS

Even numbered questions are SHEEP, Odd numbered questions are PEEHS, the winner is the one who's score is mid-bounce (aka. middle of the pack) when the game ends.

Sounds like an absolute head melt, so someone else can tinker with the idea and run it if they want... Might appeal to the more sadistic gamerunners who like seeing people have mental breakdowns...

There are non-sadistic gamerunners?

Note my use of "the more sadistic gamerunners"... suggesting that there are varying levels of sadism rather than a lack of sadism altogether. :pac:

I think that's a little too sadistic even for my taste

But I might see how it could possibly work seeing as I've been referred for a Covid test.... AGAIN.

Wow, really? All OK?
In the news today that they reckon you're safe for five months, so you should be fine, hopefully

Yeah all is good, I've been back in office and all since December. I don't think it's anything but the GP downplayed my symptoms in October and I think is erring on the side of caution this time :cool:

Literally just my normal issue of my chest playing up which has brought on a cough so better be safe than sorry I suppose.

Ah Necro I feel for ya. Ive had 2 tests, little one has had 5 all negative thank god but its a horrible experience.

My little one took it like a champ and herself and the nurse had a good laugh as I gagged my way through mine.

Fingers crossed for ya buddy.

Cheers beaker, my two fellas had two tests as well as they were (obviously) close contacts of mine in October, both negative but took them well. Three year old took it like a champ and our seven year old had a fit of sneezing after first nostril was assaulted :pac:

Such a weird thing though, wife and both kids tested negative twice which was hugely confusing as it's impossible to self-isolate with kids in the house, we were on full lockdown for 21 days really, really don't want to go back to that

Funnily enough it wasn't that bad. The first test was way worse, maybe it depends on the tester

It does. First tester was in and out like a thief in the night.

The next one got right up in my grill.

I had to do the test on myself in the car. Was quite difficult to guesstimate how long 10 seconds was when you're jabbing a swab up your nose.

I didn't even relaise self testing kits were available.

I think that's just how they run the testing centres up in Northern Ireland - sister in law had to swab herself and the two kids. An unpleasant experience for all I think :P

You pick up a pack of 10 antigen tests online cheap enough. Worth it for piece of mind if having to drop stuff to elderly or vulnerable people

I'm playing a werewolf game over on 2+2 at the moment with a very heavy in depth theme. If people want to read something extremely technical then feel free to follow the links here ::

And I'm playing as Telcontar

Game over. 10,700 posts might be a bit of re-read for some people, but a very interesting game. I was a wolf and i was flying it until the mass claim and then it all went tits up lol. But a very fun game once you got to grips with the mechanics.

I’m new around here. I am scared of werewolves but I am great at howling in the middle of the night.

Awwwww just look at that face.

What his/her name?

sullivlo

Her name is Sally.

Welcome to Forum Games, Sally. I’d bet you’d be great at sniffing out those werewolves. And you look like you’d master a game of sheep too.

That is a very boopable nose right there.
