Fortunately Unfortunately Game

Tori_Scope

I know that we all love a good game, so I thought I'd start another one!

Fortunately unfortunately is a game where you alternate between beginning a sentence with 'fortunately' and 'unfortunately' in relation to what the above commenter has said. Here's an example:

Fortunately, I got a new puppy at the weekend!
Unfortunately, he ran away.
Fortunately, he came back with a present for me.
Unfortunately, the present was stolen.
Fortunately, dogs don't have fingerprints.
Unfortunately, the police can identify dogs by their hair.
Fortunately, my puppy is hairless.
... and so on.

It can be as sensible or as silly as you'd like. I'll post the first one in the comments.

Tori_Scope

Fortunately, I moved into a new house this week.

66Mustang

Unfortunately there was a spider enthusiast living there

Tori_Scope

Fortunately, due to a global shortage of spiders, they haven't been able to buy any.

janer1967

Unfortunately the last owners left all their rotting food and rubbish 

chiarieds

Fortunately I had an enormous new dustbin

Tori_Scope

I think we've accidentally managed to get two going here. We'll go with @chiarieds' latest comment.

Unfortunately, the bins won't be collected until next Thursday.

leeCal

Fortunately I’m on a diet so there won’t be much waste to build up at all.

Tori_Scope

Unfortunately, my friend just told me she's delivering a load of food to my house as a random act of kindness.

chiarieds

Fortunately I have a pet pelican who is always hungry

Tori_Scope

Unfortunately, my pet pelican is on a diet  

66Mustang

Fortunately I also have a pet dog who is only interested in food

chiarieds

Unfortunately my pelican tries to pinch the dog's food.

Tori_Scope

Fortunately I worked that out, and started buying dog food that my pet pelican is allergic to.

janer1967

Unfortunately the pelican didnt know they were allergic to the dog food and ate quite a lot and is now not in a good way

Tori_Scope

Fortunately I was on hand with my pelican's EpiPen, the EpelicanPen

chiarieds

Unfortunately my dog jumped up, knocked my EpelicanPen out of my hand, & the Pelican ate it

(Ha, I was being polite mis-spelling the mythical EpelicanPen; changed mine now too )

leeCal

Fortunately I had my vets telephone number at hand so phoned them

Tori_Scope

[Damn, thought I was being sneaky @chiarieds ]

janer1967

Unfortunately my vet didnt have any knowledge about pelicans with allergies so couldnt herlp

chiarieds

Fortunately my new next-door-neighbour knew an ancient Chinese remedy

vikingqueen

   Unfortunately the remedy was only for  reptiles

janer1967

Unfortunately that meant I had to go scavaging in the woods for some of the ingredients 

66Mustang

Fortunately the pelican came to help

Tori_Scope

Unfortunately, the pelican doesn't have any hands to help pick things up 

chiarieds

Fortunately my dog carried a small basket, as my pelican was very unsteady anyway

66Mustang

Unfortunately the basket was full of yet more pelican food

chiarieds

Fortunately my pelican felt too queasy to pinch any out of the basket

janer1967

Unfortunately the outing had made the pelican in a worse condition

vikingqueen

   Fortunately the local pelican vet happened to be walking in the woods with his dog

janer1967

Unfortunately he didnt have his medicine bag with him

vikingqueen

   Fortunately he did have his mobile and called for help for the now very ill pelican

66Mustang

Unfortunately help was coming but would be a while and the symptom of the pelican’s condition was excessive farting

vikingqueen

  

Ross_Scope

Fortunately I had some air freshener

janer1967

Unfortunately the air freshener can was empty 

66Mustang

Fortunately pelican farts smell like candy floss

leeCal

Unfortunately the smell of candy floss attracted wasps!

chiarieds

Fortunately my dog chased them all away....

vikingqueen

    Unfortunately the wasps turned tail and stung the dog on the nose

Tori_Scope

Fortunately, I had some antihistamine cream with me

chiarieds

Unfortunately I couldn't get the cap off the tube

janer1967

Fortunately I got the top off by cutting the end

vikingqueen

     Unfortunately I also cut my finger

66Mustang

Fortunately dog saliva is antiseptic and the dog licked my finger.

chiarieds

Unfortunately my pelican keeled over with a crash

vikingqueen

   Fortunately the pelican landed in the soft mud so there was no injuries 

leeCal

Unfortunately the soft mud was actually quicksand

chiarieds

Fortunately with the pelican vet's help, I managed to pull him up to safety

Tori_Scope

Unfortunately, the pelican vet then tried to steal my pelican

Ross_Scope

Fortunately, someone stole the vet before he had chance to steel the pelican

chiarieds

Unfortunately I still had to work out how to get my pelican back to my neighbours.

Ross_Scope

Fortunately, the pelican had wings which were equiped with GPS, so he was fine

66Mustang

Unfortunately the GPS malfunctioned and took the pelican to the Houses of Parliament during a debate on whether mince pies should be banned at Christmas 

chiarieds

Fortunately the Under secretary for the State of Poorly Pelicans found him

Cher_Scope

Unfortunately the pelican had found a stash of mince pies in the Houses of Parliament and was now too big to fly.

Abi_E

fortunately, he found a skateboard hidden underneath one of the benches and was able to escape

vikingqueen

   Unfortunately  before he got out of the door a wheel fell off...

chiarieds

Fortunately the Under Secretary for the State of Poorly Pelicans had a spare wheel for such a skateboard

sarah97

Unfortunately they didn’t have the tools to change the wheel ❤️

Ross_Scope

Fortunately they realised the skateboard could transform into a hover board and fly the pelican away

chiarieds

Unfortunately my pelican felt disorientated & dizzy, as he was really ill, & fell into the Thames

66Mustang

Fortunately the pelican was a great swimmer
