Shameful confessions thread

[J.S.]

I worked in pubs for years, and this never happened to me!   Angry

spares yourself a lot of trouble and you are not in danger of getting a ban on entering your favourite pub  

one@ wargaming:

almost no one I'm friends with knows that I'm into such nerdy stuff as collecting & playing with miniatures (in Germany wargaming is nowhere near as popular as in the UK..). Couple of weeks ago I helped a friend of mine moving from Nuremberg to Munich, opened one of the packing cases..and what's inside? Gorkamorka, Space Hulk, Hero Quest and 40k Miniatures     I've known this guy since almost 10 years, but somehow we never talked about tabletop; well hidden secret so to say^^

Is this shameful ?

Years and years ago, when my little niece was perhaps 11...She challenged me to a game of Othello, which I'd never played before.
The concept of the game seemed very simple, so I accepted the challenge and just lost.

Being somewhat peeved at being beaten by a 11 year old, I bought Othello for myself, and learned how to play it with a little more skill.
A year or so later, little niece and I had a re-match.
At the end of the game I had every single square on the board except one under my control....and felt rather smug.

Was that mean ?

I was the manager, so I couldn't ban myself...

Remind me never to pay you at anything, Phil.

I did, of course, mean play you. Was that a Freudian slip?
