"Hippodromic passion" that'll do me Megan. Is that even a word (hippodromic)?
Yes it is,the adjective of Hippodrome.Not only a word but used in its proper context.Quote:

Fair enough. I'm not sure I agree it's in context.
In my 32 yrs, 11 months, 356 days on this earth I have never heard of such a phrase. I must be naive!Quote:

Many happy returns for the 3rd of April.Quote:

If the water truck issue has been addressed, then that's good enough for me!
Mind you, Megans use of poetic licence always makes for 'exciting' reading.
Unfortunately,using florid language tends to blur the message as it has done here.I like the fact that they are at least having a go.Quote:
