UK BOINC Team Forum

Thought we could try a creative Forum Game to ring the changes a little

Its Called .... I Wish .... based on ....

- First poster states their wish

- The following poster Grants the wish, but with a twist so that the wish is all but made useless, creativity and humour, especially  in the reply are the centerpoint of the game. For example:

First Poster: I Wish I was a Millionaire

Second Poster: Granted, but you get it in Japanese Yen ....

The second poster after "destroying" the first wish, then posts their own wish. eg .....

I Wish I had an XR4 Sports Car

So ... I'll start it off with that one:

I'm not too sure about the rules for this one, but I'll give it a go.
