GreyWoulf

Hi Darleen! (*Hug*)
12:02 am
DarleenMB

GW! hugs back atcha.
12:02 am
DarleenMB

oh oh this one looks nasty already.
12:03 am
Griffums

Woof all. Just waiting to see what the verdict is, have several hours work ahead of me yet tonight so it'll have to be a teeeeeeny grid...
12:03 am
GreyWoulf

Yeah -- I have nothing over 5 yet
12:03 am
GreyWoulf

Hi Griff! (*Hug*)
12:03 am
DarleenMB

but I got the Z already LOL... oh my.
12:03 am
Griffums

Oh, 82 - that's doable. Set timer 20 min and here I go
12:04 am
DarleenMB

is 82 teeney enough?
12:04 am
renfield

82??? really????
12:04 am
GreyWoulf

So I told folks before the flip...

They have moved up the c-section -- Kirsten will be going in to the hospital THIS friday instead of next week
12:05 am
Griffums

Woo hoo dad!
12:05 am
DarleenMB

GW I'll bet you're BOTH relieved.
12:06 am
GreyWoulf

Pretty much, Darleen -- looking forward to meeting SEbastian and Kirsten is looking forward to getting her energy back as well :)
12:06 am
zubie

Hello! I forgot I was here and when I looked again, the grid was today's and not yesterday's. [All muddled]
12:07 am
Griffums

hi zubie!
12:07 am
mab

Welcome back from vacation zubie!
12:08 am
zubie

Thanks mab! Hi Griff!
12:09 am
Griffums

Surprised to see the military's unexcused absence as a valid word - maybe it means something else too?
12:10 am
zubie

Was prowling around your blog yesterday, Griff :D
12:10 am
Griffums

I saw your comment, yes. :) Now I feel bad that I haven't updated it for over a week - I didn't know company was coming! :)
12:10 am
mab

Disable has a handful of acronyms, Griff. Never the ones one would think of, of course...
12:12 am
Griffums

I think disable must have a dartboard too...
12:13 am
zubie

Keep you on your toes, Griff! ;) Now I'll prowl around there when and as I wish. ;D
12:15 am
Griffums

You and the others with nothing but the bottom of the barrel to scrape, I guess. I have a boring life but it doesn't stop me from writing at length about it. :)
12:16 am
zubie

I thought it was interesting!
12:16 am
Griffums

Well, you'll love it when it's caught up - my big feature will be a photograph of the newspapers that have been stacking up unread. Take a tranquilizer beforehand so you can handle that! :)
12:18 am
Griffums

I'm bummed that the gently flowing sweet Afton isn't a valid word but at least now I'm humming that pretty song...
12:18 am
cybernan

Hi Everyone -- got the old laptop fired up, so I'll be here for as long as it keeps working! Can't wait for that new computer to arrive. :}
12:19 am
GreyWoulf

Griffums

Ren, don't you want to know how I did in my 30 min challenge?
12:33 am
sprite

Yes, it really is! It was so hard for her and she still had to use diapers and all, never could stay dry for even one night. And then last weekend she came to me sunday night, and said she was out of diapers and had not given it any attention, and I kind of lost it. I was so fed up with her leaving all the work to us and just WAITING until all of a sudden things would work out without her trying. Remember, my washing machine had crashed too... And I put her to bed without diaper, and told her she had to REALLY give it a try. And she did, and it worked, and she is proud as hell now :D :D
We too!
12:34 am
sprite

Wow Woulf! That's wonderful... too early to have the same birthday as my daughter, but still wonderfull :D
12:35 am
Babbler

awwww, Sprite! great news! She was ready, wasn't she? And you let her reach it in her own time. Bless you. : )
12:36 am
mab

That's great, Sprite. Mothers are awesome.
12:37 am
sprite

I have never wanted to push her, but she is kind of inborn lazy. Really. We always say she must have been some kind of queen of queens in another life, not used to do anything for herself. So it takes some coaching to get her to try and risk failing and all... but it is so wonderful when she does and feels how rewarding it is, and what a boost for one's self esteem, if she really tries and succeeds :D I am real proud of her.

Wow! -- GW, just been through the log -- how exciting! Still remember how awful, those last few weeks of pregnancy are -- bet Kirsten is pleased to be getting it over with a little sooner.
12:38 am
GreyWoulf

I am not feeling much love for the grid at all right now ---It may be a small, but it is very frustrating -- I have 42 words -- none of the 6's or 7's and only 6 of the 5's
12:39 am
brandyjack

41 words, 4 sixes no seven.
12:39 am
sprite

I'll go and give it a try, have been too busy chatting to do more than 20 words. Hang in there, Woulf, here's company ;)
12:40 am
GreyWoulf

Thanks sprite -- though no matter what, I am turning in in 20 mins -- I have to open the store in 7 hours :)
12:40 am
Babbler

I got to 47 words in my 30 minute challenge (self-imposed). : ) no biggies though.
12:42 am

Sleep is important, Woulf, especially for fathers who are about to go without much sleep for quite a while ;)
12:43 am

Hi sprite! :D Yes, I'm here. Returned here yesterday. To the grid, I mean. Just got back from vacation. How are you?
12:54 am
sprite

I am okay, just not doing very well with the grid. It's a tough one!
How are you?
12:56 am
zubie

I'm ok, sprite. Thoroughly unbabbled though. Did they change the babble mode to some unheard-of language while I was away? ;D
12:57 am

M7/40: To free from slavery or bondage; emancipate.
12:58 am

LOL zubie! No, they did not, don't worry... it IS a tough grid. You'll be fine, just as we, from tomorrow on (I hope!)

Thank you, sprite
1:00 am

Will you be able to sleep peacefully now, Woulf? Then I have done my good deed for today ;) ;)
1:01 am
GreyWoulf

I will sleep better for having the 7's indeed, sprite -- though I am amazed that I still have none of the 6's and am down to 33 left to find -- but they will keep til later (*HUG*) :)
1:02 am
zubie

22 words. Oh hooray! I hereby retire from babbling and make myself the onlooker who babbles. ;D The second babble being different from the first. :P
1:02 am
GreyWoulf

And so I bid a fond farewell to all and go forth to seek my slumber...

(*Hugs to all*)
1:05 am

Sweet dreams, Woulf!
There are at least a few 6s that are common words, you'll find them when you have slept :)

Hi Blaze! Yes, it is. Almost done now, but there are a few nasty ones among them.
1:20 am
Blaze

oh yes I can tell already....
1:29 am
sprite

There are some hints in the log already.
Some others: when you have found the H6 with nothing in it, don't be shy and try some stupid alt. spellings of the same.
Also: give M6/21 another last letter to find M6/24 (or mistype, as I did)
1:30 am
sprite

And there's another M6/24 that could be called a shape shifter.
Good luck hunting to y

Atalante - does the deviantart page have a lot of adobe photoshop photos on it?
10:10 am
MissyMe

Hurshy that is so cool :)

EB one of my favorite parts of a Winnie the Poo book, "Winnie the Poo and the Honey Tree":
...from the top of the tree there came a loud buzzing noise...
Winnie the Poo sat down at the foot of the tree, put his head between his paws and began to think...

"Think, think, think" he thought, "You don't get a loud buzzing noise like that, just buzzing and buzzing without it's meaning something."
Then he thought a little while longer and said, "The only reason for a buzzing noise that I know of is because you're a bee."
And he thought another little while longer and said, "And the only reason for being a bee that I know of is for making honey"
And then he got up and said, "And the only reason for making honey is so I can eat it!"

so he began to climb the tree...

11:10 am

MissyMe - would that work for rabbits that munch on my spring bulb growths?
11:22 am
MissyMe

The workers are here today finally putting in the new heater...they've been here for the last three days preparing our house for it..we needed a completely new system including ducts. We've been without that type of heat all winter...sure did save a bunch on gas, though.

They're also putting in an e-lek-tronicky touch pad that would make NASA proud. What this probably means is I wont' be able to figure the thing out and we STILL won't have any heat! lol
11:23 am

It`s amazing what we learn on Babble.......and i don`t mean the words!!!!!
Time to feed the children, before they dive in the biscuit cupboard!!!! See you all soon :)

MissyMe where do you live? is it real cold?
11:25 am
MissyMe

11:26 am
MissyMe

shorty...I live in the California foothills, about 2000ft elevation..we don't get much snow and temperatures stay either at or just above freezing most of the time...not too bad
11:27 am
shorty

well thats good don't want you to freeze to death
11:28 am
Hugabugs

Our temps go from one extreme in the summer to the other end in the winter. We need both heater and air conditioner to be comfortable in the summer
11:29 am
MissyMe

how thoughtful :D

We've been heating our house without our wood stove, which we should be doing anyway to save on propane which is getting ridiculously expensive!
11:30 am

Hugabugs I've always wanted to go to Manatoba I have a Manatoba Moose sweatshirt a friend gave me
11:30 am

I know its crazy
11:31 am
Hugabugs

shorty - i've been to a few of their games. I do miss not having the Jets here any more though
11:32 am

Hugabugs It was like that for us when we lived in the valley...that valley bowl baked in the summer but milder winters where we didn't have to heat the house every day...
11:33 am
Adsman

ahhhhh this is to hard
11:34 am
MissyMe

Adsman This puzzle is definitely a challenge! Did you get the word count from Babblers Anonymous...makes it go a little easier
11:34 am
Hugabugs

MissMe - we've had a mild winter in comparison to what it's been like in the past. -30's C was normal winter for 2 or 3 months
11:35 am

Meetings are a waste of valuable time.
Hi everyone!
12:13 pm

arggh eva!!! Meetings are very boring, and just what exactly do they accomplish except to make everyone extremely grateful when they're over?
12:13 pm

the last thing said at this meeting was "ok, so we cant actually beging doing anything at this point..."
12:14 pm

And what's worse than meetings? Saturday seminars.
I went to a pathetically useless one in mid january
12:14 pm
caitlyn

Missy ...That was the youngest grandchild! (a girl) I have 4 others 2girls age 10 then a girl 8 a boy of 7 and now this new one. We take them on hols every year in our touring caravan(must be mad)lol
12:14 pm
MissyMe

Deutsch You nailed it! When my husband was working at his last job he had to attend three meetings a day! A total waste of his valuable time..
12:16 pm

Don't GET me started. so how about a clue for the ma7, please?
12:16 pm
renfield

in my meetings i bring play doh and toys for those w/ short attention spans...like me!!!!
12:16 pm

caitlyn wow, how wonderful for you! lol about the touring van..you must be overwelling with patience!

I'm expecting my first grandbaby on March 11, a boy :)

thats a brilliant idea!
12:19 pm
Deutsch

thanks, evanadine! That one was driving me crazy.
12:20 pm
MissyMe

evanadine lol That is so typical of today's silly approach to business! Someone told somebody somewhere meetings were the way to motivate your employees and we're now stuck with them until they're out of style
12:20 pm
EvaNadine

any hints for the 2 upper N words?
12:21 pm
Deutsch

Ren, that's very creative. I may have to borrow that idea. Are you not allowed to take notes, or write anything down?
12:21 pm
MissyMe

renfield lol! Maybe that's what America needs, a chicken in every pot and playdoh in every meeting :D
12:21 pm
renfield

toys and play doh allows frustrated people to vent on the object, and not let it build up inside of them...it is very productive...keeps thoughts focused
12:21 pm
MissyMe

eva
no5/20 no + word that rhymes with the type of bovine we make hamburgers out of, or...like the polite inquiry, "*** do you do?"
12:22 pm
caitlyn

Missy that is great.. the love you feel for your own kids is huge but the love for grandchildren belive it or not is bigger .........Maisie good to know there are other caravan nuts around!!!!!!!!
12:22 pm
EvaNadine

cheese-and-rice, thats a real word??!
12:22 pm
CadFan

evanadine - the 2nd upper n word is the beginning of a latin phrase meaning you didn't make any plea. You hear about people who plead n*** contendre
12:23 pm

Maisie have fun! Cya later :)
12:28 pm
EvaNadine

heh, i did -- do you need it?
12:30 pm
MissyMe

eva, no I thought you literally meant there was a cheese-and-rice word, not just a clue to one :)
12:31 pm
EvaNadine

oh...haha....
i was referring to the No5 -- cheese-and-rice is just something my friends + i saw sometimes instead of cursing...
another favorite is "thats horse-hockey!"

2:20 pm

Missy, have you seen the film of Stephen King's 'Carrie'? I read the book and was pretty disappointed by it
2:20 pm

Miyavi_fan

What was the Blair Witch Project about, anyhows?
2:26 pm
MissyMe

Miyavi...yes...it's so well written. But be prepared to take a few years of your life to do it...every one of the books in the series is typical of Stephen King's "diarrhea of the pen" style. Long books!
2:28 pm

lol Missy! Are any of them longer than IT? over 1100 pages...too...many...

Thanks in advance.
2:28 pm

2:29 pm
MissyMe

Miyavi Some young people do a project on a witch near the town of Blair...they take a video camera with them into the woods...the come up missing and a few weeks later the video footage is found...the movie is what is supposedly seen on the footage of the missing young people
2:29 pm

No Miyavi IT and The Stand are probably his too longest ones :)
2:31 pm

Thank you Easternblue... Thanks a lot!

Maru - no problem...that's how I got it too!! (with a clue!!)

2:33 pm
faeriekae

Me again how about the im words?????
2:33 pm
MissyMe

Miyavi From what I gather, its presented as real video footage without editing...meaning there's a lot of time just looking at grass when the camera is down, dark scenes and other boring things...I think they do find a circle of stones somewhere
2:35 pm
EasternBlue

im -

im + I _ _ (he is, you are...)

2:48 pm
MissyMe

eva...wasn't that part of the promos, though, the idea that it was a student film and not made by the two professional gentlemen behind it?
2:49 pm

i thought the idea itself was a student film though, limited budget and all that
2:50 pm

alright..we've talked about so much now, I'm piqued...I probably can pick it up for 99 cents on Amazon

My mom has an original Poo bear which doesn't look anything like the ones they have now. It was brown, very thin with moveable arms and legs...and I think real horse hair. When I was five I sewed bright neon pink threads onto his head because he was "bald" and I didn't like it...my mom saw what I did and didn't like it either...the pink hair, that is

MissyMe, LOL! I once cut off my doll's hair and told my grandmother it would grow back. (It didn't!)
3:15 pm
MissyMe

EB...they're making old classics now? I wonder how the kids are reacting to them...they just look like a skinny brown bear and not the cutsey, cubby stuffed with fluff they're used to. Is Disney making them?
3:16 pm
MissyMe

Deutsch ROTF!

I was notorious for "modifying" my dolls when they didn't suit me

Ren - I'm well practised in howling. We used to go up to Cwm Buchan lake in N. Wales (where there's a great echo) and howl at around midnight to scare the campers.*Grins broadly.*

Anj - Ok. Hope all is well.
7:02 pm
cybernan

Don't put it off Jacula -- it's the best read I've come across in a long time. Waiting for the movie to get into the video stores now.
7:03 pm
Jacula

Cybernan - It's not so much a case of 'putting off' as 'finding time'. I've at leat 300 books backed up to read (and that's no exaggeration).
7:03 pm
Jacula

7:03 pm

Angels and Demons by the same author was pretty good too.

You'll have a long wait for the movie to hit the stores as it isn't even in theatrical release yet.

Jac .. the book is fast paced, easy and quick to read. Move it to the top of the stack! I think you'll really enjoy it.

Darleen - it depends if you're on Broadband, and then how close to the telephone exchange you are. Speeds vary, no matter what you pay.

Heck! I sounded like an Ann Summers rep there!

Better go and start on supper -- see you at the flip!

LOL Jac. We just went on DSL last September. We're supposedly getting 1MB? All I know is it's much faster than dial up and I'm very happy these days.

Me three on the books. They're piled so high by the bed I can barely get in! I wish I could just press the danged things to my forehead and transfer it into my brain.
7:12 pm
Jacula

Okay. Got The Hobbit for my icon now. I'll have to scan in my old copy of it, not this modern cover on my icon.

Shame, in a way, to get rid of Jack London's wolf though... that howl I did came right out of his mouth. Looked rather good, I thought.
7:13 pm
Babbler

.... and then there are books I want to read but haven't got hold of yet....... : /
7:13 pm
JBsAnno

Hey, I'll check in later for chat and clues - I have to get supper and pay bills, and watch <shhh> American Idol - I love the audition shows!

7:17 pm

JBs - No headaches here, but need to take specs off to read books these days. Varifocals beckon but I can't afford 'em yet!

Babbler - Same here. That's why I also write, I guess.
7:18 pm
Jacula

Babbler - Once you've charged through a book, don't you feel sorry that you've finished it and have to leave 'everyone' behind? I know I do!
7:19 pm

Yes, Jac I do! I feel so sad when I reach the last few pages. lol. I want to get back into writing... : /

Hey all, I'm back and yes Babbler how about fo 4/5 and I'll take the fish with that
7:29 pm
Jacula

Hi f/k. I assume you have found the fish in the grid?
7:29 pm
faeriekae

Jacula, sorry you were the one giving out clues. Sorry Babbler. But the fo 4/8 and the ho 4/12 and then we will see how it goes from there
7:30 pm
periwinkle

can't find the lu4/10
7:30 pm
faeriekae

what fish?? bows in shame
7:31 pm
Babbler

fo4/8 - could be a guy's name, if it wasn't for the F. Think Michael, Mark, Luke and Jo**, and swap the J for the F.
7:31 pm
Jacula

Fish - tu4/5
7:32 pm
Babbler

ho4/12 is probably the silliest word in today's grid. Sounds like what you might say if a brick fell on your toe and you howled and almost started swearing!! :D
7:32 pm
faeriekae

Yes... I did find that
7:32 pm
Jacula

lu4/10 - think Jewish word for tw4/8 - starts with a 'K'. Knock the 'k' off the start.
7:33 pm
Jacula

Yes, Babbler, but ma7/40's pretty silly, too. Sounds like Beckham's team... almost.
7:34 pm
Jacula

Sorry! Beckham's old team. Think Rooney's still in the team though and Georgie Best definitely once was.
7:35 pm
periwinkle

thanks, Jacula, figured it had to have the z in it just couldn't figure out the word
7:35 pm
Jacula

Peri - glad you got it.
7:36 pm
Jacula

Definition for lu4/10 - Only Diane Towler & Bernard Ford and Jane & Chris whotsit would have got that though:

A jump in figure skating in which the skater takes off from the back outer edge of one skate and makes one full rotation before landing on the back outer edge of the other skate.
7:38 pm

7:39 pm

I'll share my Faerie Dust....(*^_^*)
7:39 pm
Jacula

ho4/12 sound like a cross between a dog making a cross sounding bark and someone being given a body blow - oof!
7:40 pm
Jacula

ho4/12 - ask a question and then add an 'f'.
7:41 pm
periwinkle

7:41 pm

Jacula - Thanks I got it. *****Faerie Dust for you******
7:41 pm

Lame, but it makes us grin.

Too late with the clue, though, I see! Sorry. Was off playing another word game.
8:30 pm

Jacula- Since you're offering clues, do you have one for ho 6/33?
8:30 pm
faeriekae

I'm still working on the pasta....I'm just about ready for bed.
8:31 pm
Jacula

Kimm - ho6/33 - with nothing in the middle. Think 'Sleepy Ho****'.

Jac, may I?

Kimm, if you're from the South (US), they refer to them as 'hollers'

Tigereye - that's one of my favourite stones. I have it on keyrings, bracelets and necklaces.
8:40 pm
Tim

just need 3........ma6/21?..ma6/24?..and the mi7/36?
8:43 pm
Jacula

Definition for ma6.21 - 1. In Algonquian religious belief, a supernatural power that permeates the world, possessed in varying degrees by both spiritual and human beings.
2. A deity or spirit.

Sounds like a short way of talking about a male whose car you may be pulling along with a rope between his vehicle and yours.

For ma6/24 - change last vowel to 5th vowel in vowel list.

mi7/36 - the small things.
8:44 pm
Jacula

mi7/36 - think one 60th of an hour in time, knock off the last vowel and add a personal pronoun and a definite article.
8:45 pm
Jacula

(Or knock off the last 2 letters of the time word and add the first part of a coffee licquer drink - '*** Maria'.
8:48 pm
Jacula

*liqueur.

Sorry, I'm a 'hot' speller, so I'm told but the 'li' word is one of my blind spots!

Tim

got the ma s....still on the mi....
8:51 pm
tedsmom

Mi is the stuff people get hung up on that can make one nuts!
8:52 pm
Jacula

Tedsmom - Start with a male then add a personal pronoun and then something you'd put before a 'doing' word.
8:53 pm
Jacula

Tedsmom - for the ma6/24 - do the same but change the last 2 letters to the French familiar for 'you'.
8:53 pm
tedsmom

TY Jacula!
8:54 pm
Jacula

Tim - Sorry, not sure how to make the 'mi' word any clearer. How far have you got with it?
8:55 pm
tedsmom

Tim--For Mi, think of nit-picking
8:56 pm
Tim

coffee liquer drink?

m4/6 (after the sums) - Think Star Wars - Darth M***


Next ma4/6 sounds like what you do after someone dies, or the break of day. Or 60s singer, Susan M.

Next ma4/6 sounds like a word for 'dead'.

LeslieAnn

lu 6 anyone?
9:27 pm
Jacula

Hoot, first off, have you got ho6/33 -' nothing in the middle'?

If so, take off the last letter for the 1st word and add another round vowel at the end for the 2nd.
9:29 pm
Jacula

LeslieAnn - lu6 - definition:
1. Anatomy. The inner open space or cavity of a tubular organ, as of a blood vessel or an intestine.
2. Abbr. lm Physics. The unit of luminous flux in the International System, equal to the amount of light given out through a solid angle by a source of one candela intensity radiating equally in all directions. See table at measurement.
3. Botany. The cavity bounded by a plant cell wall.

Sounds like lights.
9:31 pm
hootowl

Thats that! You're kidding on those definitions right?
9:31 pm
Jacula

Forbes - f4/12 o3/9.
9:32 pm
Jacula

Hoot - don't give up! All you have to to is cut and paste the definition into Google and you may well get the word. If not, I'll try to help some more.

Hey Jac! (*hug*) -- I forgot about the theme today -- will have to see what I can come up with -- I have soooo many choices ;)
10:01 pm
LeslieAnn

hoot you knew that off the def? you are a smartie!
10:02 pm
GreyWoulf

Yes - this Fri, Jac -- BP was a little too high at last dr visit and weight was up as well -- they moved up the date as a result -- nothing to worry about, just being cautious

Sebastian wants to come out early just like his sister did ;D
10:03 pm
Jacula

Wolfie - you couldn't do better than Jack London's 'White Fang' (which I had earlier) if you want a wolf. Hope you can find a version that doesn't squash the poor wolf till he looks like a white seal!
10:04 pm
hootowl

Ok - down to 3!

Jac -- I wish I had had the day off so I could have really had fun with the icons -- I could have changed my icon every half hour and only barely touched on all the really good books I have read :)

10:05 pm
Jacula

Wolfie - same here!
10:06 pm
GreyWoulf

lu6 -- the middle of to provide light (il-lu****-te)
10:07 pm
Jacula

Hoot - the mu4/8 has to do with Medieval entertainers who wore masks. Failing that, think what relation you are to Wolfie, in short form, change it to UK form and add an 'm' at the end.
10:07 pm
hootowl

Dumb, dumb, dumb! Blind as a bat!

Ah! Larry Niven's Ringworld. Not read those yet.
10:26 pm
GreyWoulf

wi5/28 -- take an n word that means neato or spiffy and change the 1st letter
10:27 pm
Kimm

Thanks GreyWoulf. Babblers are so generous.
10:28 pm
GreyWoulf

Kimm -- YW -- to be silent would be contrary to the name 'Babbler' ;D
10:28 pm
Jacula

Hello Kimm. Ah, wi5/28. No true definition. Think weavers' talk... warp and weft, and then take the second word and change the 1st vowel the the 3rd vowel in the vowel list, then add the 'sometimes' vowel at the end.
10:28 pm
Jacula

Failing that, think 'stinky' and change the 2nd 'f' to a 't'.
10:28 pm
Kimm

Thanks Jacula. One word left.
10:29 pm
Jacula

Brought Jack London's wolf back now, Wolfie. Had you refreshed and noticed?

11:15 pm

11:16 pm
Jacula

I was just about to say something the same myself, Ren.
11:18 pm
Jacula

I wonder.... can the grid accommodate that immorta; word from 'Mary Poppins': supercalifragilisticexpi....
11:20 pm

11:21 pm

Our home is girt by sea:
Our land abounds in nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare,
In history's page let every stage
Advance Australia fair,
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair.

Beneath our radiant Southern Cross,
We'll toil with hearts and hands,
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands,
For those who've come across the seas
We've boundless plains to share,
With courage let us all combine
To advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia fair.

Okay! Done my bit for that now!
