The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
The totally unofficial ‘Freeola forums random fact about me game’.
To play the game forum members take it in turn to list 10 random facts about themselves, some must be true others total fabrications. Once a list as been submitted other members simply submit which they believe to be true and which they think are false. Whoever guesses the most correctly gets to go next, lists are only valid for 24 hours from posting. The 24 hour rule is automatically overruled if the poster spots an entry in which someone has guessed all 10 ‘facts’ correctly.
The (very loose) rules are:
Facts must be things fairly unusual not ‘I usually take the bus to work’ kind of thing. But not ridiculous either, none of this ‘I went to the moon and it was made of cheese’ stuff.
Each member can only submit 1 list but they can still continue to guess other peoples lists and I will attempt to keep some kind of championship board.
Each member can only guess once for each list and answers must be submitted under a ‘spoiler’ tag.
There must be a mix of true and false ‘facts’ (no all true or all false).
If 2 or more people get the same amount correct, whoever posted first gets to go next.
Think that’s about it really.
Right, think that’s pretty straightforward. Hope this gets more entries than this years MotoGP fantasy league!
Whoever is heading the leaderboard on 1/03/02 can now claim the award kindly given by Freeola for this thread. In the event of a tie I will post a final 10 'facts' to decide to winner on this date, if its me in the final 2 then I will ask another forum member (who doesn't know either of us in person) to do this. As with yesterday when we had the same number of people getting the number of guesses correct each get a championship point. Hope this gets some activity going over the next 14 days as anyone has a genuine chance to win.
Best of luck everyone.

No worries, DL or pb can go next then if they wish.
You'll be waiting untl Monday if you want Butch to go next I'm afraid.
The answers (if anyone cares):
1. I was once suspended from school for fighting.
*False* I was never suspended from school.
2. I have never seen a full episode of the TV series Friends.
*True* I hate US sitcoms with a burning passion and I have never seen an episode of Friends (or most other similar sitcoms for that matter) in its entirety.
3. I once got mistaken for a shop assistant in B&Q but the lady
seemed so nice that I said nothing and decided to help her anyway.
*True* I knew what she needed and she was just so pleasant and grateful I didn't have the heart to tell her I didn't work there.
4. I am a black belt in Jujitsu.
*False* Never had a single lesson in it although I do hope to be the first person to be able to perform an actual Hadouken, although I've only had limited success so far.
5. I once got into an argument with Coronation St. actor Ryan Thomas (who apparently plays Jason Grimshaw) without realising who is was.
*False* I've never met him.
6. I once had a really good chat with Lee Latchford Evans (who is/was apparently in the band Steps) without realising who he was.
*True* He was actually a really nice guy and very likeable indeed, got on great with him. Going to have trouble living that one down. For the record I think his band is rubbish and I'm secretly quite proud of the fact I didn't know who he was.
7. I have driven at more than double the maximum national legal speed limit on more than one occasion.
*True* Drove a Ferrari 360 Modena F1 at 150 MPH down the Hangar Straight at Silverstone on 2 separate occasions.
8. I once fell asleep on a long train journey and ended up 30 miles past where I needed to get off.
*False* Rarely use trains.
9. I have never owned any Nintendo gaming console of any kind.
*True* I have played on Wii's, SNES and N64's at peoples houses but I have never actually owned any Nintendo gaming console.
10. I once foiled an armed robbery.
*True* I was working in a shop with my friend when I spotted a guy with a stocking on his head and brandishing what appeared to be a handgun about to enter the shop. The till system we had was operated by a key system, I pulled the operator key out of the till and threw it down into the floorsafe rendering the till inoperable. Pretty stupid thing to do looking back at it and I doubt I would do the same today but after a very heated exchange he left empty handed.
Reckon Butch probably got the most right so looks like its up to one of our favourite staffies to go next. Unless he's not working in which case either DL or pb can go if they wish.

Nice one Alfonse haha :¬D
Warhunt, 10 true or false guesses would have done mate but I did rather enjoy reading that. I so wish my life had actually panned out like that :(
Anymore entries?, I'll 'mark' them either later tonight or in the morning.
Come on guys, this could be fun.
