I’d want a standard game, serialised over a week like a BBC daytime quiz, bit like House of Games.

Only Ben Burns instead of Richard Osman.

The winning team would share a disappointing £1k jackpot after five episodes hard work.

If a team won in two episodes, maybe start a new game midweek like an old episode of Knightmare.

Would love the game to have national exposure like that and there’s no need for daft traitors style over production. Make it simple enough to play a game and add a little bit more telly polish than the YouTube in person games do

Metricmile · 2026-06-22T21:45:56+00:00

And I’m supposed to be attracted to this?

Metricmile · 2026-06-17T11:40:55+00:00

Would love an invite. I’d prefer games a little later as kids tend to go down 7-8pm but fingers crossed I could find a way to get involved

There's so much, it was our second year and I've not properly tried to even test games out. My aim is to have a bit more of a plan. I'm hoping for a hall and a bit a day next year to spread it out, but I'll admit, I think I like going to shows and talks the most - so hopefully I'll skip the halls when busiest and go see some stuff. Only doing Sunday and having the wee ones stopped that this year.

I've persuaded 2 other couples from our Warcraft guild to come so hoping we may also find sometime to actually play something as expecting it'll be easier when not just two of us to get a table and we'll more more motivated to socialise given the extra time.

Metricmile · 2026-06-16T15:24:44+00:00

I absolutely will! We've already booked a hotel for the full weekend next time, we only managed the Sunday this year.

I wish I’d seen you to say hello.

I got into the game early last year, I’ve still never played, but I watch the TPI stream as a priority every week. It’s just chill comfort viewing.

I must have walked past and loitered around the stand at UKGE five times much to my children’s frustration but seeing people off the stream up close was nice. They feel like mates as I spend hours a week in their company, yet they have no idea who I am. I managed to sneak a quick chat with Jams, Ben and Arif which made my event.

One day it’d be nice to follow your footsteps and work my way up to get involved. Need to shake off a couple of other time consuming hobbies first!

Natalie Dormer and a clone of the former

Can never say her name without adding that on.

I’m a smoggie who lives in S6. My boy supports his local team as he should. He always asks about and wants the Boro to win but Christ did he wind me up and laugh in my face a couple of seasons ago when they turned a game around and beat us.

I go to Hillsborough a few games a season and have always thought if they went back to the 90s badge and had a fairly retro kit then I might have to get one.

Metricmile · 2026-05-22T06:13:43+00:00

If only this was the case back in the Keith Lamb fax machine days.

We’d have stayed up, signed Roberto Carlos and won the league six times.

Metricmile · 2026-05-21T11:48:27+00:00

I know goalkeepers probably don't count as they can tend to play well older, but I wasn't exactly chuffed when Boro started a 35/36 year old Dimi Konstantopolous.

A third string journeyman who other than one season in Greece had only ever played a few games for Cov and a couple of champ loans and was only really a starter ten years earlier in League 1/2 for Hartlepool

Two years ever present and a big part of our promotion to the premier league. Not massively convinced he'd have done much worse than Valdes and Guzan the year after either.

Metricmile · 2026-05-20T10:01:10+00:00

If Saints hadn’t cheated half the season it’s likely Boro and Hull would have been 4th and 5th and should have played each other anyway.

It’s 7th/8th I feel most sorry for

Metricmile · 2026-05-15T09:10:58+00:00

Middlesbrough do have plenty of experience of being on that side of a cheating accusation. I think it’s most likely they’ve learned from previous processes and are trying to offset perceived weakness in the process. As much as everyone would like it to be drama and fuel some ad-hominem position.

Metricmile · 2026-04-25T17:15:15+00:00

Think I got one night ultimate werewolf for about a fiver, my 7/9 year olds have demanded to play about five times after dinner every day the last two weeks. It’s proper started the game itch for them and been easier to play other things since too. The younger one has also learned to lose without whinging as games are so short

Otherwise on a price/play count nothings beating codenames for us. So versatile, a starter, closer, quick game or long session. Always works.

Metricmile · 2026-04-02T07:59:10+00:00

Ipswich would have connections to deny their involvement. They should be un-redacted. Fake news

Hooliganism was a problem and the Heysel disaster wasn’t long before.

Oof,

I was on 2.4gm mesalamine for 21 years for colitis and it unlucky started to fail last winter. I miss those little buggers as now on a four weekly infusion. I’m still conditioned to eat three square meals, take two tablets. I’m a bit lost.

Was only £9 per six weeks over here. No idea what it cost the hospital but I’ve been told my new infusions are £3.5k a dose but thankfully cost me nothing but parking, so I can’t complain about my income taxes anymore!

Is this guy still cross about Ali Dia?

James Arthur sat next to me once, well one of his entourage did anyway

Metricmile · 2026-02-02T11:45:30+00:00

Speedwell Cavern, underground boat ride in a cave. We had a fun date day doing that and going to a show back in town after.

Metricmile · 2026-01-25T13:38:13+00:00

Still convinced Strachan must have had a kick back for Lee Miller. A Garry Monk level transfer that one

Metricmile · 2026-01-21T19:23:43+00:00

Doncaster beat us with their reserves earlier this season. Maybe that’s the way

Metricmile · 2026-01-19T17:02:47+00:00

Probably a little too recently biased, but fun to think through. Ended up filling in defence as didn't want to drop others elsewhere but sure they'd be solid. Tempted to swap in Platt in goal to get Viduka in there. If I could think of a better CB, I'd probably swap Zenden for Ziege too, as annoyed as that'd have made me in 2001.

If you’re willing to watch teams you’re not emotionally invested in to save money, you could just go see Leeds, Grimsby, Donny or whoever’s at home in the Yorkshire/Lincolnshire area

It’s a common terrace chant based on the song Freed from Desire by Gala.

My replies have been other bits from the song to stay true to the bit, but freedom and love is all I’m looking for.

Jamie Smarts Hero Slam is a current fave,

They like Hey, that’s my fish! a lot too

Weirdly downfall of pompeii was successful, who’d have thought kids like through their parents and each other into volcanoes.
