‘That’s what you get for playing with novices!’ It’s a phrase one of our freelancers – and I won’t say who as it might offend her – used to trot out every time she lost, whether she was playing with novices or not. Without her knowing, it became her catchphrase, and it was quickly adopted by everyone in the office who thought it was hilarious.

Beyond the comedy though, there is a very good point to be made here. Close your eyes and think of another game you play. Now imagine yourself playing someone who hasn’t got a clue what they’re doing.
