The Person Below Me...

[Slasher]

I liked agent 99 better than 86 (hey I'm a guy!) but yes I enjoyed the show overall.

TPBM regards Siegfried's line of "Shtarker! Zis is KAOS! Ve don't 'phbbbfth' here!" as extremely memorable!

[Mrs Ex-Ascot]

False I'm afraid to admit

TPBM is also behind the times when it comes to TV series and films.

[Hydromet]

Very true. Since there's little worth watching on either pay TV or free to air, one is reduced to having infinite repeats of Midsomer Murders running in the background for SWMBO's entertainment, while doing something worthwhile.

TPBM has better things to do with their life than watch rubbish TV.

[Cacophonix]

Very true. Since there's little worth watching on either pay TV or free to air, one is reduced to having infinite repeats of Midsomer Murders running in the background for SWMBO's entertainment, while doing something worthwhile.

TPBM has better things to do with their life than watch rubbish TV.

True and as for Midsomer Murders one does wonder why anyone in that village of the damned is still alive.

TPBM loves listening to the radio.

Caco

[Slasher]

In the car yes, but not normally in the house.





TPBM hates sudden plumbing leaks.

[Hydromet]

True, whether in one's domestic or personal plumbing.

TPBM prefers to do their own handyman jobs.

[Mrs Ex-Ascot]

Not on your Nellie! I get Ex-Ascot to do them, then he tells the gardener to do whatever.

TPBM likes passing on horrible jobs that they'd rather not do to someone else!

[Slasher]

Dead true. I had no qualms whatsoever last month passing on all me future Venuses to the misguided sods who still think airline flying is fun.

TPBM is made of strong stuff and will do those crappy jobs that others are too lah de dah or snowflakey to do.

[larsssnowpharter]

The person below you is made of weak stuff and has worked hard to be in a position to be able to pay others to do the ***** jobs such as turning the pig roast over the BBQ pit.

TPBM thinks good thick cut marmalade is a perfectly reasonable adjunct to a good pork sausage.

[Mrs Ex-Ascot]

Something that I have never tried, but I don't see why not.

TPBM likes onion marmalade with cheese and biscuits.

[Hydromet]

Onion is good with anything. Biscuits are good with anything and cheese is good with anything, but sadly, my GP has told me to cut down on cheese.

TPBM believes that all good things come with a downside.

[Slasher]

Yep 'tis agreed. Money - work, booze - hangover, strippers - pox, smokes - cancer, airline flying - night Venuses, big boobs - bras, lust - accountability, good food - obesity, 90 year olds shagging nubiles - heart attacks, picnics - ants, fast cars - speeding fines, wives - maintenance costs, porn - um...no downside unless one is caught, windfalls - taxes, impulse bonking - pregnancy, pretty side fluff - (see porn), birth - eventual death, farting - outcastery.

TPBM doesn't have chandeliers at home.

[Fliegenmong]

Yep 'tis agreed. Money - work, booze - hangover, strippers - pox, smokes - cancer, airline flying - night Venuses, big boobs - bras, lust - accountability, good food - obesity, 90 year olds shagging nubiles - heart attacks, picnics - ants, fast cars - speeding fines, wives - maintenance costs, porn - um...no downside unless one is caught, windfalls - taxes, impulse bonking - pregnancy, pretty side fluff - (see porn), birth - eventual death, farting - outcastery.

Ha ha ha....

Chandeliers? Sadly no....house not big enough...

TPBM anticipates starting the (next) day early in the Ocean before a fabulous Breakfast and cruising into the office feeling on top of the world!

[Mrs Ex-Ascot]

False; difficult to dive into any ocean around here as we are land locked. Certainly don't want to dive into the lagoon as there are too many snappy things in there.

TPBM didn't realise that lion cubs born in the wild only have a one percent chance of survival to adulthood, and that is without any interference from homo sapiens positive or negative.

[603DX]

I certainly hadn't realised the survival rate for lion cubs was so dismally low, and wonder whether this is strongly influenced by the actions of numerous other-species predators, plus the cannibalistic behaviour of new male lions in taking over existing prides. "Mother Nature" can be cruel ...

TPBM quite likes a few drops of Worcester sauce added in the mixing of scrambled eggs, to give it a slight "tang" in flavour. Serving it on a thin layer of smoked salmon, sprinkled with a little paprika, also helps to transform a bland snack into a gourmet treat.

[Hydromet]

Absolutely love Worcestershire sauce, despite the fact that it is forbidden because, like everything else I like, it gives me gout. Even like a dash on bread & butter.

TPBM believes that what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

[Slasher]

True, but in my case sauce for the goose is sauce for the goose's wife. If I suddenly and impulsively throw her lustfully on the bed she has every right to do and act the same way with me.

Trouble is she doesn't.

TPBM can't be bothered with watching news channels and would rather just watch movie stations instead.

[Mrs Ex-Ascot]

True and then false as I don't even possess a TV.

TPBM is planning on spending the festive season quietly, avoiding parties and jingly music in public places at all costs. Bah Humbug!

[Slasher]

Dead true. Plan a little get together at our joint with a couple of local couples with no prezzie exchanges or hyped nonsense. While Apsara is a Buddhist and me an atheist we both don't mind the occasion. Indeed it's great seeing the little bloke enjoying his handouts from old Nick on Xmas morn - a little pleasure I was denied at his age and younger, being in a JW family.

TPBM doesn't see the point in "welcoming in" the new year, given that it's merely a change of a human-invented time reference (in this case what's popularly referred to as the Gregorian calendar).

[603DX]

I disagree, never mind the human-invented time reference aspect, surely it's better to be a "glass half full" than "glass half empty" personality; on the occasion of the fundamental annual cycle I prefer to look forward optimistically to an Annus Mirabilis than an Annus Horribilis.

TPBM dislikes the lowest-common-denominator vicious, envious, malicious, ignorant, racist, misogynist and dismally downbeat attitudes displayed in the so-called "social media", and refuses to even contemplate taking part in the cauldrons of bile.
