Surely you must agree my usage of that word  was elegant, accurate and appropriate to the context.

Sorry move her out, fill in the lake, remove the bats and we have the best facility in Australia. 

We may have to go over her head...she seems to like the trappings of power. Last year she delayed a flight because passengers weren't allowed to board before her ladyship..she had got lost making her way from the freebies in the chairman's lounge to the gate. True .

But I think Charles is gettable if we give Camilla the number 1 ticket.

uncle bitters is demonland's version of w.c.fields. a raffish, drunken cad with a swaggering machismo and an abiding hatred of children.

See, when we treat each other respectfully, we get somewhere.

Good to see we are all getting along so well now.

You can’t use the word “termagant” on a children friendly format like Demonland. Find another word for it.

 

What’s a synonym for thesaurus so I can look it up there.

I'm surprised that posters were unfamiliar with the words termagant and harridan. They were in common usage in 19th century writing and before. 

The Victorian and part of the Edwardian eras must have been wonderful times. 

In moments of bliss, I imagine myself as a  disgustingly rich mill or factory owner, abusing my power in the most dissolute ways.

Arrh what might have been!

i always imagined you as an edwardian headmaster wandering the corridors of academia, resplendent in your mortar and gown, with pipe in mouth, twirling your ivory-tipped bamboo cane, whilst hunting down all the billie bunters for some ..er corrective stimulation

While we're imagining BBO's persona, it would be very Victorian/Edwardian to also imagine for him a nemesis, Moriarty-like, and who of the Demonland cohort might suit the role. And, BBO, who would be your Doctor John Watson?

May not affect me as much as previously might have, as my latest diet doesn’t recommend Banana smoothies.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
