I found this interesting word in the dictionary. Ogygian.

Ogygian means; of obscure antiquity. Prehistoric.

A bit like Bill Williams .

Interesting Neville.
And how would I pronounce it, if I chose to use such an interesting word?

NOW NEVILLE
Just because you came around to my place and played

with my pet Tyrannosaurus Rex

it don't mean that you're not old too as well.

Mind you

I liked the way you rode your Brontosaurs down the street, he is a big fella

ain't he

Sounds like a Gideon praying with a speech impediment.

What a lovely word that is

Ogygian, Ogygian. How I love your muddied waters
as they flow forever seawards
joined by all your sons and daughters
Ogygian, Ogygian. River of such majesty
you sure ain't the Mississippi
but your name's music to me

I think Marty has it Robyn. Amazing what they can learn up in the tropics.

I'm a baby boomer William, can't seem to catch up with you.

Beautiful Maureen.

Bertrand Russell tells the story of a young man who was entranced by the wonderful word
" carminative ", he savoured its beauty and tone, he sent a letter to his girlfriend and described the carminative quality of his love for her. Then he looked it up in the dictionary and discovered that it meant " curing flatulence "

Gee Nev I'm glad it put you in mind of Old Bill and not me.

(Sorry Bill the Devil made me do it.)
