tech_guy Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) We need one. I'm seriously depressed. My 7 year old niece beat me on Wii Sports bowling. FML. Edited February 23, 2011 by tech_guy
Little-Miss Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Take her out to "real life" bowling.....see who wins then! (her again probably lol!!)
Fatmas Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Just make her sleep in the shed for the night. That will teach her to respect her elders.
aerospacemango Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Go for PES 2011...or whatever it is these days, and give her a sound 11-0 thrashing! That's the best way!
jamesb Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Dear tech_guy, It does sound like you have a problem. There are two approaches you can take here - one is to remind yourself that you were just taking it easy on her, since she's a child and can't handle defeat as well as you. This would allow you to feel magnaminous and highly virtuous about the fact that you are clearly inadequate in everything, as demonstrated by your lack of skill in Wii Bowling. Your second option can be taken to the extreme with ritual suicide, or if you lack the guts for that you do have the option of selling all of your electronics, any other property, and becoming a hermit or monk (dependent upon belief) until your shame is forgotten by the world at large. Love, Agony Uncle 1
JoeBloggs Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Throw the remote at her and say it slipped

Love, Agony Uncle Like that's EVER gonna happen! In fact....we could start a "What's the most embarrassing defeat you've suffered at the hands of a child" thread! Tech Guy can go first !!! :D:D
TheScarfedOne Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I think a few of us from the MSFT event need one now! No-one should have to see or hear about the things we did last night and this morning! @EduTech lol! Who on the forums would make the best Agony Aunt or Uncle then? Poll?
Gatt Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I think that ZeroHour, as the newly appointed EduGeek Partner should take on the role
crc-ict Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) No, it has to be one of the girls, surely? Us blokes can be rather lacking at the whole empathy and advice thing - see the responses to @tech_guy above if you need evidence :-) Although it has to be said, @Little-Miss you weren't exactly being sympathetic!! Edited February 25, 2011 by crc-ict Spelling
chrbb Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Well I'm not going to be sympathetic, I've just played golf and was dreadful! So am going through the I'm never playing again, all my clubs are going on Ebay, my golf shoes in the wheely bin and why did I ever bother taking it up in the first place. Thankfully I wasn't playing against a seven year old GIRL! Oooh starting to feel better already.
featured_spectre Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I will take on the position. I am good with dishing out advice but not taking it, so feel free to PM me with any problems you have (non-technical please, as that's what the forum is for), and I will do my best to advise you. I will reply with 24 hours (depending on workload and personal life). Sound good?
witch Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Surely that's a job for witch... Oh yeah - I can do that - Cv, life, witch'll sort it! But I warn you - I don't go down the 'poor you' route - more the 'tough love - pull yourself together - do THIS' style of life coaching.... Reasonable rates Discounts for groups.... 1
chrbb Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 @witch I expect the advice for me would be to go back on the golf course and play again tomorrow, despite the washing, ironing, shopping, cleaning etc it is imperative to 'get back on the horse again'. If I must I will!

I have a group if you'll take us, some a bit weird, a lot of geeks, around 35,000 of us, if you can fit us in.

Not sure quite how to answer that one.... Are you saying that every single one of us on edugeek needs therapy of one sort or another?...actually, now I think about it....
garethEds Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 In fact....we could start a "What's the most embarrassing defeat you've suffered at the hands of a child" thread! Well not a defeat but I was play wrestling with my nephew the other day (he is 10). I was letting him win of course so he managed to climb on top of me and sat on my head before letting out an almighty fart! We cried laughing but boy was it smelly. Well owned there I was. Gareth
tech_guy Posted February 25, 2011 Author Posted February 25, 2011 Well I feel better now - at least the only humiliation I had to face was being beaten in a computer game rather than having a kid fart on your head...
EduTech Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Once everyone catch's up with #edugeek on twitter yes we are all going to need therapy!!
