Derek does actually love me. I know that. I have to remember that. I have to believe that.

Would that be the "shall we have undercooked red meat" button? We all know that's the one to press if any of us need forgiveness from you.DRT wrote:I hate you. You always know which buttons to push to make me forgive you.

Like Daniel, sometimes you just don't understand me.

I fold.
I regret starting this thread. It was meant to shame them into not squabbling in public; instead, like some old married couple, they delight in it.

I suspect Daniel is simply trying to join the toffee-nose bandwagon of popular culture.Derek, as I don't fill my existence with the titbits of irrelevant daily life, I missed this attempt by a public figure to enrich the language as it is spoke. I'm at a bit of a loss as to the Port Forum's inability to comprehend metaphor. If I had used a cliché – perhaps something like 'great unwashed' – to refer to the non-initiates to the virtues of port, no doubt you'd all have managed to get my meaning, without needing to check whether the flannels in the family bathroom had lately been used. But I embark on a new metaphor and you have them all taking their shoes and socks off to check for hooves. I see now that this is the leaden discourse we can expect on TPF. Literalism or death.DRT wrote:For the record, none of my parents or in-laws have hooves.

I think this thread has brought us even closer together.
