A pleonasm, surely.

Of course, Uncle Bitters, if you were to offer more adequate remuneration for my advice you could expect more effective service ... although I presume this won't be the first time you've been told something like that.

Ha! Would you believe that is the second obscure linguistic term that has come to my notice in the past fortnight? A former colleague sent me a text about "collocation". Hadn't heard the word for I reckon 20 years but I did at least remember it. "Pleonasm" however, sent me to the reference book.

As to "remuneration" - I will need more evidence of your credibility than a mere Hopping Dick before I part with my ill gotten gains.

    I just scrolled through the last 50 odd posts, that is time I won't get back. Best retire to bed with a good book, I think.

    What about the non-odd posts? Oh wait ... :lol::blink:

    A fine, upstanding one, I might say, except that all it would probably do is open the door to all sorts of nonsense about Cialis.*

    * had to look that up, obviously.

    I doubt we'll hear from dc tonight. Apart from his usual rather notorious commitments, I read today that Borewood has joined the list of Melbourne's $million suburbs. I suspect dc will gargle a few Porphery Pearls in celebration - FMD he may even buy one!

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
