My falling standards

Post by jdaw1 »

This thread is to report falling standards of members of :tpf:, or in their households.

I’ll start. SCP-DFF is a fan of the US version of The Biggest Loser, which we watch on Apple iTunes. Normal household rules are not to eat ice cream whilst these enormous people sweat. Today we failed that low standard.

Oh please. Yes, guilty as charged. But, I have an excuse. I'm exempt from all previous rules concerning The Biggest Loser. Julian failed to site that reason. Ask him.

Were you not the instigator of a rule not to criticise the grammar of those for whom English was not their first language? Is your wife's first language English?

How's the black eye?

At least, that's what I would receive for a comment such as this!
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Is it only me who thinks that starting a thread on a public forum with the primary objective of criticising your spouse is a bad idea?

Watching people worse off than ourselves and fail has been a hit formula in Hollywood for decades.
