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.

No doubt dc, but we mere mortals don't have some enthralled old babushkas to help us out.

Anyway old uncle bitters has had a very busy day and must retire.

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 ...

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!
