    In the Rialto you have rated me
    About my moneys and my usances:
    Still have I borne it with a patient shrug,
    For sufferance is the badge of all our tribe.
    You call me misbeliever, cut-throat dog,
    And spit upon my Jewish gaberdine,
    And all for use of that which is mine own.
    Well then, it now appears you need my help:
    Go to, then; you come to me, and you say
    'Shylock, we would have moneys:' you say so;
    You, that did void your rheum upon my beard
    And foot me as you spurn a stranger cur
    Over your threshold: moneys is your suit
    What should I say to you? Should I not say
    'Hath a dog money? is it possible
    A cur can lend three thousand ducats?' Or
    Shall I bend low and in a bondman's key,
    With bated breath and whispering humbleness, Say this;
    'Fair sir, you spit on me on Wednesday last;
    You spurn'd me such a day; another time
    You call'd me dog; and for these courtesies
    I'll lend you thus much moneys'?"

    'Bate' is aphetic of 'abate' and was first recorded circa 1300. Shakespeare did not invent the word, but the phrase is to his credit. J.K Rowling is misguided when in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban she writes "The whole common room listened with baited breath."

    The phrase refers to shallow breathing, somewhat akin to holding one's breath in anticipation. The idea is partly anticipation, partly not moving a muscle, not wanting to miss what happens, which is what will happen if we continue to defer from the raison d'?tre of this thread. Scott! Onwards!
    I hope you share you erudition with Dan Hannebery, who hasn't done his homework in three months.

    Well we know who can coach him in English!

    Have a feeling if he was struggling with school then Roosy wouldn't have played him. It would have been out of character given his own sons schooling is of much importance to him. I trust him to make choices I would agree with (most of the time).

    BUT bet we see the kid on deck tomorrow night.

    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

    Rnd 7-8

    Round 7 v Geelong, SS.

    Sydney1.2 4.3 7.4 10.5 65
    Geelong 1.5 8.7 12.10 17.14 116

    BEST: Goodes, O'Keefe, J. Bolton, Buchanan, Shaw

    Swans haven't won in Geelong in 10 years. No Gary Ablett, but plenty of other talent left in the tank for the cats.
    The swans contained the Cats for most of the 1st qtr, but it just seemed like a matter of when the cats would break the

    shackles. Steve Johnson was one of the best for the cats, whilst being in plenty of the play also struggled to find 1st

    gear. That didn't take long, and even the great Craig Bolton couldn't contain the enigmatic forward. Bevan was used but to no

    avail, Johnson was just too good. Kirk, Jack and Jude Bolton, all tried in vain to quell Joel Selwood, whilst Joel Corey had

    a good day out whilst minding Goodes. Hall and O'Loughlin had little impact against their respective oppnents, although

    O'Louhghlin finished with 3 goals.
    Goodes, O'Keefe and Bolton (J) tried valiantly to get their side back in the game, but in the end the Cats ran out 51 point

    winners.

    O'Loughlin 3 goals, Goodes and Grundy 2.

    2-3-0

    5 Adam Goodes

    Round 8 v West Coast @ ANZ.

    Sydney 5.2 7.4 14.7 16.10106
    West Coast4.2 6.6 11.6 15.11 101

    BEST: Goodes, Hall, J. Bolton, Shaw, O?Keefe, Jolly.

    In a closely fought contest, the Swans led nearly all night, but never by anymore than 19 points.
    The swans started well with 3 goals in 12 minutes. Adam Goodes was at his brilliant best racking up 26 touches, and 3 goals.

    Workhorse Jude Bolton continued his hard work in the centre, and Barry Hall had his best game of the year with 5 goals.
    While the first 1/2 was closely contested and tight, in the third term both teams almost doubled their scores.
    But the Eagles surged and with plenty of time still left, Selwood put the eagles in front by a point.
    A great snap by jack in time on sealed the Swans 4th victory in Sydney.

    Swans by a 5 points.

    4-4-0.

    It only took to Round 8 for Goodesy to get into the top 3 ... and only two points behind Mr Shaw. Poor Mr Shaw. Enjoy it while it lasts.

    I should have made bets!!!

    Two 5 point games in a row will do that.

    I guess you're just happy somebody is actually reading it and paying attention.

    Well, I did think that when my first typo was pointed out.
    I'm a firm believer in NOT proof reading anything. That's somone else's job.

    Thx, glad you are enjoying it.




    As I said in the other thread, if anyone wants to have a go at writing a paragraph on a game, or 2, or 3, etc. Just let me know, and I'm happy for YOU to help the writing.
