Or even a 'pedal antic', in your case...??? :-)
(Hint for the crossposted Yanks - it's both good English and an
'anagram', respectively..... :-)

You don't get any points for an anagram that is not also a pun. You
could
try calling him a "pliant dace" if you think his scales are askew, or
perhaps advise him to visit a "tepid canal" if you suspect his hearing
is
overheated.

Possibly, but the Brownies are mine for *appositeness*, I think....

Ya think? Maybe you should explain what "pedal antic" means then. A
reference to a circus clown riding a unicycle, maybe?



Did you miss this bit: "When I'm feeling really pedantic I cycle seven miles
to the public library to consult the full 24 volume edition." in the post I
was replying to..???

The Brownies are still mine....

(More than ever now... :-)
