Something to pass the time...

[mr gumby]

As we all know, news of what's going to be happening at next year's Glastonbury is likely to be pretty scarce at this time of year. If we're lucky, we might get a headliner or two, and perhaps the Sunday legend announced, but we'll have to wait until Spring for the vast majority of the lineup, and new plans for the site.

To help pass the time, I thought I'd come up with a new variation on an old favourite game. Just a bit of fun, not to be taken too seriously!

So here it is, for your entertainment and diversion: 
**The russycarps '...is a c**t' chat forum bingo game!!**

How to play:
- Print the game card below, or save it to your computer.
- Keep an eye out for russycarps declaring that someone (or a type of person) 'is a c**t' in his posts on this forum. 
- Check your game card, to see if the object of his vitriol is among the options. If so, cross it off!
- The centre square, labelled 'You', refers to the player themselves. However, if russycarps announces 'people who stay at Worthy view are c**ts' (for example), and you are planning to stay there, you can cross off both squares. Double bubble!
- When all squares on your card are crossed off, declare your achievement on this thread with the phrase 'Full russy!'
- The first person to (genuinely) get a Full russy will win a pint from me at the festival next year!  
- As russy has been fairly vociferous recently, it would be a pretty short game if anyone used previous comments, so please only include comments made after this thread was started. 
- All comments need to be in context of the conversation on the thread where they're made  (Basically, russy can't post on this thread and announce all those on the game card are c**ts, to spoil the game!)

Good luck, and enjoy! 

 

Personally, I think it's an ideal alternative to boring old Trivial Pursuit on Boxing Day!

Surely we need more cards?  And I think you might want to add your name onto a square after posting this!!

Yeah, if anyone suggests other ideas for squares, I can easily sort out a bigger card with more spaces on for future games! 

I thought about putting my own name on one, so that could be an idea for next time!

I should imagine that it's only a matter of time before Russy calls you a c**t so you may as well put your name in a square now. lol

Need a square with "Guy Garvey" in

So if you don't vote Tory, you didn't go to public school, you're not staying in Worthy View and you're not upper/middle class, then you need to engage in some Russy baiting in order to win the pint? Unless you're Adele, or course.

Since Russy is going to be gamesmaster on this one, I think it's likely you'll be buying him pint this year.

If he can contain himself that is.

Does Brit School not count as a public school then?

[HalfAnIdiot]

Love it.

 

Can you come up with a Radiohead Headlineing related card next please?

Brit School is a free, state funded City College. Certainly not a public school. My friend's daughter went there.

(If I've missed an in-joke here please ignore me).

There needs to be something on there relating to Rick Wright/ Pink Floyd not playing that year.

Blimey, that'd be playing with fire! Not sure I'd be knowledgable enough on Radiohead to do that without ruffling feathers.

I did consider that, but thought it might lead to people hoping for Michael Eavis to be called a c**t, which doesn't really seem in the spirit of a chat forum about glastonbury.

You, sir, are a genius

[not worthy]

this is a great idea, but I am now feeling for Russy. For him to participate surely he needs a chance to win too!!!! only fair.

Can he not have his own bingo card of the abusive responses he needs to elicit from folk too.

Note for Russy - don't change, we'd miss you too much and these quiet months would be just too quiet

Fair point! I think I should just buy him a pint at the festival, as a thank you for being the inspiration for the game

If you can find him that is.  I've been trying to get him to come to meets for the last few years. No chance.

Stand in front of Radiohead with a Bruce Dickinson flag.  Done.

Your pint money is looking safe at the moment.

It seems his identity is unknown so at the meet I wonder over and say "I am Russycarps and I claim my free pint".

Yeah, he never turns up to the eFests meets I believe, unless in disguise...

[Quark]

He is Edmond Dantes. And he is my father, and my mother, my brother, my friend. He is you, and me. He is all of us.
