I’ve got a stonking cold right in time for Christmas. Is there anything more annoying than a cold? You’re not quite ill enough to get away with doing nothing or cancelling plans and now with Covid every cunt asks you if you’ve been tested. Fack off

Have you been tested?
Yes but not for Covid
My sister's coming over tomorrow with some cards. She also made it sound like she was dodging mam and dad because of the virus.
Last night I went with my family to a Christmas pub quiz (the first time we've ever done this). With one round to go we found ourselves 6 points in the lead. The final round was structured so that there are 6 questions (worth 2 points each) and then a 7th 'Twist' question which is optional to play, but if you do play it and get it wrong, you lose all your points for the round. If you get the 'Twist' right, you get 6 bonus points. You have to decide whether to 'stick' or 'twist' before hearing the question.
So we had the first 6 questions, and only knew 3 of them. I then got into an argument with my brother, who thought we should stick, thus guaranteeing 'at least 2nd prize' as he put it. I said we should twist, because a) we could be beaten if we stuck, and b) it's pub quiz, why be a boring bastard, you have to go for it. Eventually I won the argument and we twisted. The twist question was what is the most-watched Christmas TV broadcast ever. We went for Morecambe and Wise. The answer was Only Fools and Horses. As a result, we lost all our points ended up finishing about 4th or 5th. If we'd stuck, we would have tied for 1st, and then been in a tie break which we would have lost, so we'd have finished 2nd and won about £10.
My brother then started giving me a lecture about game theory all the way home. Who is the cunt, me or him?
Whoever came up with the format.
I wouldn't have known that the answer was Only Fools and Horses, but it would have been a ninety per cent safe bet outside of football matches and state occasions, so why did you entire family guess otherwise? Did you GAME THEORY that the obvious answer was too obvious?
I only have a very basic grasp of Game Theory, but I'm struggling to see how it applies here?
Unless there was a third option to go with stick or twist? Then upon it's removal you change your mind from stick to twist or vice-versa. That's Game Theory, right? Nothing to do with being a pussy.
If I'm right, he's the cunt. But of course, if I'm wrong, I'm now the cunt. Either way you're off the hook, cunt.
Mind-boggling answer. Take a long hard look in the mirror.
A new option has been added, so we should all change our answers to Manc being the cunt.
Your brother would have been the cunt had it not been multiple choice, although making any sort of deal out of missing out on a collective tenner is pathetic.
24m viewers for anything live other than sport just sounds mental in this day and age.
We did a similar quiz once where the final round had a similar idea but ANY wrong answer wiped your points for that round. We'd have won if I hadn't BOTTLED it on a Gulliver's Travels question.
Speaking of quizes, are you doing one this year Jim? And will you be providing Wullie with all the answers via PM again?
I'll rustle one up in the next couple of days if I get time. And yes, Wullie actually sets the questions, I just loan him my account to post them up and then he gets to look clever answering them correctly.
Becoming a moany bastard over £10 pub quiz winnings is a bit mental.
You’re definitely on the right side.
Went to Tesco this morning just after 9 assuming bedlam, and the shop was pleasantly quiet.
Did see an old boy in his Skoda parked across the pavement into the petrol station beside a car with a quite prominent bash in the side, so somebody got a bit excited on the accelerator trying to escape the Christmas crowds.
I was in traffic yesterday and someone came reversing off their drive at full pelt and smashed into the car in front of me. #prayforsvn
Shit. I was in a car once. Makes you think.
The Nazis had cars you know
Fuck that shite.
I have never understood why anyone would bother. Whatever you are buying, it is not that important.
Having Googled it, it's a clothes shop. Pepe is correct. Why the fuck would you stand in that?
I'm trying to think what I would join that queue for (that is realistic, I mean I dare say I'd do it for a billion quid) but I'm coming up blank.
The comments are all on about booze, which would make more sense, not least because they all have trolleys.
When I was over there at Easter one year, they were only allowed to sell alcohol in hotel bars. Is it something like that Giggles? Otherwise, surely they have supermarkets, cornershops, off licences etc. Why would you queue like that for some booze at one specific place?
I wasn't aware people from Bottom Ireland had that much patience.
I got my old man a bundle of The Blizzard's from the last year. I thought it would be up his alley and then flicking through I see they even have a crossword. Think I've absolutely nailed it this year with that and some Cashmere gloves for my mum.
However, there is one issue with The Blizzard. I thought there'd been a print fuck-up because they all had the same cover except for one. Then I realised...
Got my brother's missus some pralines, now I find she has a nut allergy. Back to the drawing board. On the plus side, I now have some pralines.
Wor sis is turning up tomorrow instead because she can't find the whisky I like. Gives me a day to get them some proper chocolates instead of palming off the Celebrations I was going to give to mam and dad.
I don't why I'm always shocked at how busy Christmas gets.
I am hoping to get a haircut tomorrow like and idiot because I have been too busy with work prior to this. Also occured to me my wife might have got me a christmas card, which I have explained we aren't doing previously but could still be a potential error on my part brewing for Saturday morning.
As for the quiz Jim, the format was flawed and should have been the classic with tie breaker in the event of a draw. I'm pretty sure in the 70s as many people didn't have tvs/electric and survived on sugar sandwiches during the rolling blackouts which probably skewed the figures somewhat.
Wor Panda avina reet mare.
I count at least three accents in that.
Spikey on the cowies.
'Oi Pissi-Krissi, you... You cunt...'
Wor originates from the Arabic "mine" to denote ownership over the inferior sex
Tesc O'Extra.
I'm going to guess they've gone back into covid restrictions of limited people in at one time.
Thank you all for accommodating my poor reading comprehension.
Work is done for the year, had my third shot of Bill Gates' jizz at lunchtime (feeling fine so far) and a bit more shopping to sort in the morning and then it's relaxation until 4th Jan.
Lucky fucker. Tommorrow is going to be painful.
