One upmanship

Ellianne They look a bit scratchy, do take care.

Ellianne not stalking honest I just happen to read a regular thread daily.

Oneupmanship, no. A few judgypants do appear, spoiling a thread on occasion!

What a ridiculous thread! More stirring?

No worries marpau. I was just intrigued where to find it!

Goodness how intriguing!

Blossoming. Re comments to and from teachers. A friend set a Latin exam question along the lines of “why is the verb in this sentence in the subjunctive ?” Student a bit cheesed off by this stage wrote “God only knows”. Teacher wrote back “Not only God, Johnny, I do too”.

But this thread needed to be "spoiled" or at least diverted before it got personal or nasty!
Luckily there are several posters who pre-emt that danger and the best way out is to use humour like here.

As a matter of interest where's the OP?

Eating sausages!

Or maybe scouring the flies thread? There's lots of oneupmanship there as to who has the biggest or the most!

I think GagaJo has posted this a bit “tongue in cheek” to have a bit of fun with us

Perhaps she will appear and disagree?

Only just caught up because someone on another thread referred to this post, I suppose everyone likes to have a little boast now and then, sometimes I think it’s more ‘one downman ship ‘.
Sorry if someone’s already said that!

Ellianne I am all for joining in with some humour, especially at the moment. Unfortunately, a vaguely personal post up thread is what spoiled the fun for me.

I do enjoy a sausage now and again but it must be grilled. I couldn’t even contemplate the excessive amount of fat consumed otherwise ?. Pass me the smelling salts?

Aren't sausages on the " don't eat " list, along with bacon as having cancer causing agents ? Whether they're gilt-edged or not.
I admit to not reading the thread properly so don't know where the sausages come into it.

-----she said, puffing on a cigarette, hahahaha.

Think the only time I blotted my copybook was to admit we use the word lounge. Apparently either posh, pretensious or both. Oops! Ain't gonna change though..

We call it the drawing room

I love a sausage. And bacon. I'm doomed.

marpau I actually have had a brain haemorrhage. It really isn’t something to brag about.

In my first house in the early 70s we had a breakfast room
I suppose that if I were to refer to my breakfast room now it would seem pretentious.
Looking back I don’t know what else it could be called because there was a dining room as well. Any ideas ?

Kim I call it the ‘front room’ although it’s at the back?

My friend from Sheffield just calls it “the room”?‍♀️

MerylStreep was it only used for breakfasting in?
I'd like to have a room specifically for breakfasting in and I'd certainly call it the breakfast room, if I had one.

(Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, btw)

Don't you have a lounge and a sitting room and a drawing room and a television room then?
As well as an orangery?

Oh dear, poor you.

I know someone who has a conversation area/room.

Ha ha Megs my DH calls our sitting room the front room although it is at the back!

I forgot the front room and the parlour
