My son has just posted a website where he brags that he is ranked
number 9029 in the world.

Is this something to brag about, or has this brought on shame to the
family?

After all you do, THAT would bring shame to your family????

Nothing could bring shame to you.
You're shameless.

Mr Nemmers, I understand your point about Sam Sloan's own website.

If you were in his son's position (considering what paternal influences to
which he might well have been exposed), however, then how likely would it be
for you to take into account the possibility of 'bring(ing) shame' to the
family of Sam Sloan (whom you may prefer not to acknowledge as your father)?

Nick, I think it's clear to all & sundry (make mine a double cherry,
whipped cream & nougat hazelnut crunch with extra lime chrystal
flakings) - that your tortured use of the lingo is not getting through
to us dumbos. If you could try being a little less 'obtuse'. Thanks..
