In my DM to Timothy R&B, I gave my answer but indicated that I couldn't work out how David Neitz fitted in. Having now belatedly realised he was also called "Neater" by some, I'm satisfied that my answer is correct, irrespective of Timothy's opinion.

I'm feeling quite Trumpian today!

Thanks to you, too, 'LDVC', for keeping this on the board. Apart from @Mazer Rackham (who would now seem to have tripped himself up! 😉) where are all our good friends*? I hope I haven't offended anyone ( @Demonstone? )

Anyway, now here am again, as a consequence, back in the unloved, sad, sorry realm of this thread, bumping it along - perhaps inevitably to bomb and crash as @Deemania since 56 may have foreshadowed - with another 🤔, about 'Neater'. Ploise exploin!

I'm happy for my actual answer to be trumped! And I'll be happy to add some Grange to the beer and bubbles, which you seem to be unsatisfied with!

Meanwhile, I've got silver and bronzeware to get rid of. Well here's another clue for you all: S. Powell-Pepper's the unlucky player.

(* Reading the 'Perception of usernames' and 'Music / grand final' threads, maybe my team's common link isn't 'The Word' for our friends?)

(And, p.s.:👍 to the 'R&B' contraction of my name!)

Roger Mellie has grabbed the silver with both hands. Well done, sir!

 

And, at last, Reynolds46 has grabbed the bronze, with his two mitts. Well done to you, too, sir! (gender assumption based on his(?) Homer Simpson avatar).

B:        ToMorrow Never Knows     Glass Onion   Norwegian Wood

H/B:    Sun King     Maxwell's Silver Hammer     Fool On The Hill

C:        Strawberry Fields Forever     Baby You're A Rich Man     Long And Winding Road

H/F:     And Your Bird Can Sing     Oh! Darling     ACross The Universe

F:         Good Day Sunshine     David Neitz, (Revolution) 9     Dear Prudence

R:        Martha My Dear     Blackbird     Rocky Raccoon

I/C:      Ballad Of John And Yoko     Blue Jay Way    Doctor Robert    I Will

Em:      Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

And now I've got a feeling I can let it be. I'll be on my way; I'm so tired. Perhaps I should have known better. Goodbye.

Nice work. I still reckon my answer was correct, though. Just not what you were looking for!

For those who care, my answer was that every person named had as either their first or last name a word otherwise used in English as a noun, adjective, etc. I struggled with Neitz until I realised he's also called "Neater".

And further for those who care (I suspect we're in an empty room, though, LDVC!) my PM'd response recognised this: "I realise that you are, in a general sense, correct, LDVC. Not trophy-worthy yet, but keep going...". Song titles, pretty much by definition, are going to use actual words (though not sure that will hold true for the genres under discussion in a couple of other threads atm! (apologies @WalkingCivilWar and others, whose interests and knowledge impress me no end 😊))

Anyway, credit where credit is due, and a Merit Badge speeds its way to you, LDVC.

(p.s. Apologies for likely confusion in my earlier post, with references to Mazer and various drinks. I had conflated our PM convo with one I was having with Mazer at the same time. D'Oh!)

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
