Ran up to the kitchen window, imploring my mum to watch some stupid dance I was doing (or something...I was four). Promptly ran straight into my plastic sandpit, which had been rained in the previous night. Went in head-first. Have NEVER lived that one down.
First time with a Fruit Corner (other yoghurts are available), folded over the bit containing the fruit, which snapped off and somehow the contents flew upwards and across the room...mad scramble to get the black cherry out of the upholstery...
apart from this morning and my poker the only other epic fail was before the wife and i got married, we had our surnames added together as on her side off family she had no males on her side to carry on the campbell name going, as it turned out we had two girls jessica and rebecca, and jessica want`s myself and misses to have another baby ( now she`s on on an epic fail )
re. the hand I requested: I had seen him be fairly loose/bluffy before and thought it was very unlikely he had an Ace on the river. I thought his most likely hand was a bluff so I could have just called but just in case he was bluffing with something stupid like a better 8 or maybe block betting with a weak jack I thought I'd shove, especially as I knew I wouldn't be going out if he did somehow make a hero call with a jack or w/e
That mention of the cliched responses to someone dropping a glass in a pub reminds me of an epic fail of my own, and now I've donked out of the Deep-Stack I've got some time on my hands.
In a previous life I ran pubs. Early on, as a brand new barman, an elderly gentleman walked into the bar. He was immaculately dressed in tweed Plus-fours, jacket and a bow tie. I remarked how natty he looked and he was equally complementary about the pub and the range of real ales on offer.
Choosing the one in front of him, he watched as I expertly (well at least semi-competently) pulled his pint.
As I lifted it over the bar and reached for his money, I said, "you'll enjoy this" and promptly caught the bottom of the glass on the top of the hand-pump, pouring the pint all over him.
Mortified I ran round to him with a handfull of bar towels and helped him attempt to dry himself. Sadly the absorbent nature of tweed meant his natty Plus 4s were completely soaked. I gave him his money back and apologised profusely.
Being a gentleman he ackowledged it as an accident. I went back behind the bar and offered him another pint, free of charge.
Bravely he chose the same beer again. Sadly with exactly the same result!
Thinking he must be on Candid Camera or Beadles About the poor and now completely sodden gent was looking around for the cameras.
Happily, I managed to keep my job (just) and he managed to leave the pub before I drowned him.
For epic fails my mate once did an all nighter doing coursework. He had a gig that night and went to sleep at 11oclock. Slept through his 5 alarms and didn't wake up till 8oclock, by which time he'd missed the train to go to his gig! Although it was an MCR gig so prob a good job he missed it!!
Loving the show obviously, and i know you said there are no stupid questions......How old are you Rich?? because tonight it looks on my tv as though you suddenly have hundreds of grey hairs on your coiffured head!! Question for trev,How can there be a problem about the fee for Bentner? surely if we agree to pay for his air fare he can go to hamburg!Dave.

Hi Guys
Loving the show. Good to see Trev just failed again. It was Derek Redmond whose Dad helped him over the line in the 400mtr Final.
Keep it up Trev - you'll have Richard's job soon! I mean his old one on the Quiz show.
