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 13 Mar 2018, 11:53 am

~~Yeah, whatever.~~

You are a fount of bountiful knowledge rick.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I don't think it is.

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

Who's on first?

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

I don't know (on third)

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

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

Morning, I am not Stephen Hawking.

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

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

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

Good morning Jules and rick.

Present.

I'm not the dog placed in an overhead locker on a UA flight.

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 14 Mar 2018, 9:39 am

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

by **Pal Joey** Wed 14 Mar 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 14 Mar 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 15 Mar 2018, 10:58 am

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

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

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

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

Sh*t on here today.

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

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

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

He should shut up and go away.

by **Galted** Fri 16 Mar 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 19 Mar 2018, 7:45 am

Morning, gents.

by **Pal Joey** Mon 19 Mar 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 19 Mar 2018, 8:03 am

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

by **rIck_dAgless** Mon 19 Mar 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

by **Galted** Mon 19 Mar 2018, 11:39 am

I'm not anyone famous who died recently.

Are you anyone not famous who died recently?

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

Nope.

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

Whew, that's a relief!

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

Always like a bit of amusing Graffiti.

Morning

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

Morning rick.
Saturday evening ruined for you?

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

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

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

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

by **Pal Joey** Tue 20 Mar 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!
