2019 PH Lounge Members Challenge
Discussion
We spend a considerable amount of time on PH disparaging others for trotting out the same old responses to every thread. You know the ones...
"MX-5 or a chipped 335d"
"Frozen sausages"
"Custard"
"Dominate the [blank]"
and there are many others.
But rather than completely abandon these, the challenge I propose is this:
Should any member of PH find themselves in a position where they are in the press in 2019, they need to ensure a quote from them includes a directly attributable PH type quote.
Maybe you are the witness to a mugging in your local town centre and the Frambridge Telegraph sends their Chief Reporter to interview you, and you say something along the lines of "I saw these promising footballers trying to steal Mrs Miggins' handbag, but then this bloke with two dogs tied together stepped in and threw a tin of Red Bull at them to really dominate the pavement"
Or you get caught up in some awful weather event on the M6 and have to explain to ITV News North how you clearly don't need winter tyres on your chipped x35d to avoid having to sleep in the car and you were able to make it to the Teaspoon sale.
Once you have given your quote, other PH members have up to one week to spot it, and make reference to it on the forum. If they do, then you win a point and can be a smug git. If not, then you must live with the crushing disappointment that your 15 minutes of fame has passed.
At the end of the year, nothing will happen of course as nobody on the thread has any authority to give out cash prizes or similar.

Excellent idea I’ve suggested an edit above. Prize for anyone getting on to TV!
Well obviously you'll have to craft your reply to be appropriate for the situation. It'll be a dog whistle to PH members. Excellent idea I’ve suggested an edit above. Prize for anyone getting on to TV!
A friend I've known on and off since university is occasionally now referred to as an expert TV talking head in his capacity as a professor in xxx (field redacted to protect anonymity).
He is a huge Bruce Springsteen fan and always attempts to include a Boss-related phrase in his answers.
