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.

Verbose pseudo intellectualism will get you everywhere.

As an adjunct,or perhaps an addendum,what kind of man lives in a place called Hopping Dicks?


Yeah could have been a ripping yarn with some decent editing.

bitters, you need to read it in the original russian to appreciate the nuances

dunno, but if i had to guess i'd say a dick hopper

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

 

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:

The ghost who walks was always like that .... must be jungle drums or something :mad:

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.

not to worry doc. you are safe, uncle bitters has retired for the evening

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!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
