    The 'You Are Wrong' Game

    Since, in my oh-so-long 2 days as a Forumite, I've noticed that there's nothing you guys love more than a good debate, I present this game which I play at another forum. The idea is that one person posts a statement, then the next person has to say why that statement is wrong, and post one of their own, for example:

    "I just ate a lemon bonbon"

    "you are wrong, Simon LeBon is not lemon-flavoured"

    and so it continues (the reasons should all be this silly if you can manage it)


    I shall start, and see if you lot get the hang of it (I'm sure you will):

    Purple is the new black

    You are wrong, Deep Purple is not Back in Black.

    No, I'm sorry, that's completely wrong. In fact there's nothing we love more than a meaningless and pedantic argument that hinges on the ambiguous interpretation of a single word, preferrably 'elitist' or 'average'.

    You are wrong, Miss Moneypenny is not a well-rounded person.

    Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

    Ducasi is wrong: Doctors heal a lot of the physical ones. And so does elastoplast.

    Bangers and Mash is wrong: That statement is correct, it IS incorrect. So to say it is incorrect is in fact, incorrect.

    There's no business like showbusiness.

    Purple Sparker is wrong: Showing the business is not having a business.

    Not if it's rotten, or, indeed, a snake's egg. *shudders*

    Azande is wrong: everyone knows you have to margarine an egg not butter it and its always jam on the hen!

    No. Codeine is the opiate of the masses (scientifically true- codeine is the lowest level of a family of painkillers that go all the way up to Heroin- Mum's a GP, what can you do?).

    No, you are wrong. White washing my fence suffered no ill effects from the colour of my socks.

    Don't forget acronyms - mention of MIB can really enliven a discussion.

    no, you are wrong. food doesn't affect my balance at all unless I am too far away from the table.

    A bird with 2 bushes is definitely not something I would want to handle.
