A "pode" is a combining form pertaining to a certain number of feet, I don't think this can be used in the plural, because the combining form will increase the amount, rather than pluralising the word "pode" I would suggest.

And we are at the Antipodes to TLD...

by **JuliusHMarx** Tue Mar 13, 2018 11:53 am

~~Yeah, whatever.~~

You are a fount of bountiful knowledge rick.

by **rIck_dAgless** Tue Mar 13, 2018 11:55 am

Thanks, Jules, I know you appreciate some solid etymological facts.

by **JuliusHMarx** Tue Mar 13, 2018 11:57 am

What's the origin of the word 'etymology'?

by **rIck_dAgless** Tue Mar 13, 2018 12:00 pm

From Middle English , from Old French ethimologie, from Latin etymologia, from Ancient Greek ἐτυμολογία ‎(etumología‎), from ἔτυμον ‎(étumon, “true sense”‎) and -λογία ‎(-logía, “study of”‎), from λόγος ‎(lógos, “word; explanation”‎).

by **JuliusHMarx** Tue Mar 13, 2018 12:09 pm

Thanks.
What's another word for 'synonym'?

by **rIck_dAgless** Tue Mar 13, 2018 12:22 pm

I don't think it is.

by **JuliusHMarx** Tue Mar 13, 2018 12:27 pm

Who's on first?

by **rIck_dAgless** Tue Mar 13, 2018 12:29 pm

I don't know (on third)

Alas poor rick - the greatest scientific mind of his age.

by **rIck_dAgless** Wed Mar 14, 2018 8:24 am

Morning, I am not Stephen Hawking.

by **JuliusHMarx** Wed Mar 14, 2018 8:46 am

Hurrah for rick - the second greatest scientific mind of his age.

by **Pal Joey** Wed Mar 14, 2018 9:09 am

Good morning Jules and rick.

Present.

That was shocking, Galted.
Also the story of the young girl ordered to flush her pet hamster down the lav by a flight attendant a few weeks back.

by **Galted** Wed Mar 14, 2018 9:39 am

Didn't read that one. Seems there's much scuntitude required to be a flight attendant.

by **Pal Joey** Wed Mar 14, 2018 9:47 am

Spirit Airlines... remember the name.
Apparently the girl rang up and checked with the airline beforehand who told her it would be OK to bring her pet rodent on board the flight.

Should have unloaded the dog.

Yes, they should have taken the stick of dynamite out of its slobbering mouth.

Glad to hear it

by **rIck_dAgless** Wed Mar 14, 2018 1:39 pm

Though there was more chance of you being Jim Bowen, than Stephen Hawking.

Morning, all.

Good to see Hugh Jackman doing well. Nice bloke by all accounts.

by **Galted** Thu Mar 15, 2018 10:58 am

That's proof of Tino's ~~sad~~ demise that Jackman gets mentioned with no furious response.

by **JuliusHMarx** Thu Mar 15, 2018 11:27 am

Nice to see Will Ferrell enjoying his tennis. Top bloke.

by **Galted** Fri Mar 16, 2018 9:28 am

Sh*t on here today.

by **JuliusHMarx** Fri Mar 16, 2018 10:19 am

I blame Will Ferrell. He's a c*nt.

by **Pal Joey** Fri Mar 16, 2018 10:29 am

He should shut up and go away.

by **Galted** Fri Mar 16, 2018 10:43 am

I've never felt so close to two internet people as I currently do to you two.

What's more, both of you are factually correct as Will Ferrell is a c*nt and he should shut up and go away.

by **rIck_dAgless** Mon Mar 19, 2018 7:45 am

Morning, gents.

by **Pal Joey** Mon Mar 19, 2018 8:01 am

Morning rick. How's things?
Just back from a walk in the village... very balmy weather this evening.

Palindrome.

by **JuliusHMarx** Mon Mar 19, 2018 8:03 am

Morning. I'm not Ant McPartlin's career.

by **rIck_dAgless** Mon Mar 19, 2018 8:10 am

Morning, TLD/Jules

Irritatingly cold and icy here.

Glad to hear it, Jules.

I see I have not missed the CC V.3

I'm not anyone famous who died recently.

by **Galted** Mon Mar 19, 2018 3:14 pm

Nope.

by **JuliusHMarx** Mon Mar 19, 2018 3:24 pm

Whew, that's a relief!

by **JuliusHMarx** Mon Mar 19, 2018 5:02 pm

Always like a bit of amusing Graffiti.

Morning

by **JuliusHMarx** Tue Mar 20, 2018 8:38 am

Morning rick.
Saturday evening ruined for you?

by **rIck_dAgless** Tue Mar 20, 2018 8:47 am

Indeed, that is a lot of forehead to be missing in one go.

Is all well in the Marx household?

by **JuliusHMarx** Tue Mar 20, 2018 8:51 am

The good news is that my wife has got a new job, starting after Easter.
The bad news is that I have to work on site in Manchester for five weeks, starting on Monday.

by **rIck_dAgless** Tue Mar 20, 2018 8:54 am

Excellent, is it a career progression thing, or is it a job satisfaction thing?

Lots of nice food in Manchester, and some decent culture (believe it or not) to immerse ones self in.

by **JuliusHMarx** Tue Mar 20, 2018 9:01 am

Job satisfaction - ended up hating the last job when new owners took over.

by **rIck_dAgless** Tue Mar 20, 2018 9:06 am

Always a good reason to move, it is amazing how much being in a job you like changes your entire demeanour.

by **Pal Joey** Tue Mar 20, 2018 10:04 am

Morning.
So Jules, will you be driving back and forth every day? Or staying in Manchester for the duration?

by **JuliusHMarx** Tue Mar 20, 2018 10:30 am

Staying up during the week. It's too far to drive.

by **Pal Joey** Tue Mar 20, 2018 10:52 am

Just had a family here from Kansas City... they left at 7:30am this morning, flight at midday... probably arriving in San Francisco in about 3 hours.
Then a flight to Denver and another to KC. Long trip for them!
