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

SCP-DFF is a fan of the

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?

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?
