2:50 am

Haz1558

That tongue! And not much fun getting the fur de-burred.

2:50 am

JFB

Just made the 100! Had to get some breakfast and the clues I came back to did it! Thanks.

2:51 am

sprite

Poor spaniel! Imagine having a coat on in this weather.

2:51 am

Atalante

about an hour's worth of deburring - so far ...!

2:51 am

Douglas

Martin Luther nailed 98 of these to the church door...

2:52 am

Douglas

Shrek was on one of these...

2:52 am

JFB

Atalante Thats one very hot dog by the looks of it.

2:54 am

sprite

Jups, got the 8 too. Close to the 7, but still different indeed.

2:56 am

sherb

I keep typing 'tash' every time it appears in the hope that one day the Enable dictionary will catch up with common usage...

2:56 am

Atalante

one very hot dog! she'd been chasing pheasants for an hour ....

2:57 am

Haz1558

In the same spirit Douglas, there would have been one of these if Shrek had died when on one of those.

2:57 am

Douglas

How do you define "tash?"

2:57 am

sherb

tash = short for moustache

2:58 am

Douglas

oh

2:59 am

sprite

Shrek is not allowed to die.

2:59 am

Haz1558

Therefore, thankfully, no need for in7/40.

2:59 am

MVA

i agree sprite!

3:00 am

FMitch

I've found a really really "big" word - gi5
Hehe

3:00 am

sprite

Went to Shrek 1 with the kids, expecting no more than giving the kids a good time. Ended up laughing at least as much as they did, lol. And 2 was even better.

3:01 am

MVA

thanks haz, couldn't see the last 7

3:01 am

sprite

That's a nice biggie, FMitch, thanks :)

3:01 am

Douglas

The daughter of James Lileks...

3:01 am

Haz1558

sprite - I went to see Toy Story with my girls. They assused me of being a total embarassment as I had laughed so loudly.

3:01 am

JFB

I've got 2 of the 7s - that one and the molar one - clue for the 3rd please?

3:01 am

Douglas

the only thing worse than real angst is phantom angst

3:02 am

sprite

Some of those 'kids' films are just great. Perfect for kids, but with another layer that is great for adults as well.

3:02 am

sprite

Not to mention angstrom, Douglas!

3:02 am

MVA

jfb pl of church songs

3:02 am

FMitch

JFB, think The Queen and her "song"

3:02 am

Haz1558

3:03 am

sprite

FMitch, you think that is what they say to her? "Hey Liz, they are playing your song!"? ;)

3:03 am

JFB

Thanks - should have got that!

3:03 am

Douglas

Something that almost isn't there, even when it is there...

3:04 am

FMitch

3:04 am

sprite

LOL FMitch!

3:05 am

MVA

3:06 am

al3ksia.

don't you feel tired and sleepy at 3.00 in da morning

3:06 am

Atalante

at the Proms last week, they played 2 verses of the National Anthem. That confused most people there who suddenly realised they didn't know the words to the second verse ...

3:07 am

sprite

Ata posted a wo-ord, Ata posted a wo-ord!

3:07 am

Haz1558

Atalante - were you at the 80th birthday prom?

3:07 am

FMitch

Ata said a wooord!!! I think I would be hard pressed to remember the 2nd verse

3:07 am

Atalante

oh POO! sorry

3:08 am

Atalante

yes, I was Haz

3:08 am

sherb

God save our gracious Queen!
Long live our noble Queen!
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the Queen.

An additional verse is occasionally sung:
Thy choicest gifts in store
On her be pleased to pour,
Long may she reign.
May she defend our laws,
And give us ever cause,
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the Queen.

3:08 am

sprite

Capitalized even :) In case anyone would miss it :)

3:08 am

Haz1558

I watched some of it on television. The music was wonderful, but you all looked so hot!

3:08 am

sherb

so now we know!!

3:08 am

Atalante

*creeps off in utter embarrassment* thanks for pointing that out, sprite :P

3:09 am

sprite

Hihihi, Ata, sorry, couldn't resist :)

3:09 am

Atalante

it was SO hot. we actually left at the interval, just too hot and sticky. We only wanted to be there for Peter Maxwell-Davies's piece anyway. It was a wonderful evening though!

3:10 am

Haz1558

And what did you think of the piece? I was expecting something jollier.

3:12 am

Atalante

well, I knew what it would be like. I don't know how much was explained on TV, but it was meant to represent the Queen (choir) providing a base of stability and light in changing and strange times (orchestra). I was actually expecting something *weirder* LOL. Some of his works are pretty bizarre!

3:13 am

Haz1558

It must have been 'challenging' to sing.

3:13 am

saphyre

hi again everyone

3:14 am

sprite

hi saphyre

3:14 am

Haz1558

Hello saphyre. I've just found a sparkly se6/27.

3:15 am

saphyre

have the 6...

3:15 am

Atalante

I felt sorry for the guardsmen who were doing the fanfares in their buzbies. talk about HOT! the choirs were actually really good ... I don't think I would ahve liked the piece if I hadn't known why it sounded like it did, but knowing that discord and glumness was there for a reason, I ended up really liking it

3:15 am

sherb

morning saphyre :)

3:15 am

FMitch

Good find Haz and thanks.

3:15 am

saphyre

couldn't sleep - used to being up all night working

3:16 am

saphyre

i have 65 left - should i get the list?

3:16 am

Haz1558

Discord and glumness. Why does that make me think of John Prescott?

3:17 am

Atalante

um ... let me think!

3:17 am

Frances

Why would anyone want to think of John Prescott???

3:17 am

sherb

get the list saphyre...

3:17 am

sprite

To lighten up the mood: fireworks!

3:18 am

Haz1558

Discord and glumness did it for me!

3:18 am

saphyre

congrats sprite :)

3:18 am

FMitch

Woohoo sprite

3:18 am

Haz1558

Congratulations sprite!

3:18 am

Atalante

yay sprite!

3:19 am

sprite

Can I nag for a bit about Ga5/14? Why no 4 for that one?

3:20 am

FMitch

Nag away but it's lost on me as I don't have it yet.

3:20 am

Atalante

which ga5/14 sprite?

3:20 am

saphyre

don't have it yet either

3:20 am

Haz1558

I'm frantically searching for it so that I can join in the discussion and look intelligent.

3:21 am

sprite

Looks like a plural or a 3rd person singular, but there is no singular or 1st person singular for it. I kept looking for that last G and never thought to try the 5, since the 4 wasn't valid :(

3:21 am

saphyre

lol haz

3:21 am

sprite

The first one, Ata.

3:21 am

Haz1558

It's because the singular is a three letter word.

3:21 am

sprite

Comes before the nasty wound.

3:21 am

Atalante

what Haz said then :)

3:22 am

sprite

Aha! Haz, that is more th4 intelligent. In dutch it would need a double consonant in the middle, but not in english. I will never learn!

3:22 am

Haz1558

Although 'normal' English spelling would put a double s in the plural.

3:22 am

saphyre

in english also if it is the one i think it is

3:23 am

sprite

LOL! Okay, thanks a lot, I feel a bit less stupid now :)

3:23 am

Angb

ga 5/14. They propose to tax farmers for the methane ***** that their cows emit in NZ! Hi all

3:23 am

FMitch

Angb, thanks for that clue I was getting so confused.

3:23 am

sprite

Hi Angb. The word before **** contains another valid one ;)

3:23 am

Angb

Hope you are all in for a little trivia tonite? You must be you are Babblers ...LOL

3:24 am

sprite

Anyone who needs a clue before I leave?

3:24 am

sprite

For a babbler nothing is trivial ;)

3:25 am

saphyre

going to try without clues but thanks sprite

3:25 am

Angb

Can I ask a dim question? I thought I would try using Lickety's wonderful page tonite. But, I don't have to retype everything into the Babble page do I?

3:26 am

saphyre

yes Angb

3:26 am

Haz1558

Angb - you will have to type the words into babble, as the two pages are not connected.

3:27 am

sprite

Okay, I have a dumb question. What do you call an exit from the highway? Is that junction, or do you use th4 only for non-highways?

3:27 am

Angb

Ok - thank goodness I didn't get too carried away!!!LOL

3:27 am

saphyre

exit ramp

3:28 am

sprite

Thanks. So when giving directions, one could say: you take exit ramp 304... ?

3:28 am

saphyre

or just exit 304

3:28 am

Haz1558

sprite - in Britain, do you mean? In Britain it would be a junction or an exit.

3:29 am

sherb

we call them junctions in the UK... eg Junction 1 on the M1...

3:29 am

sprite

Great, thanks a lot :) Friends from America are staying in Holland and come to visit today, they need a route!

3:29 am

saphyre

just tell them exit and # then

3:29 am

Haz1558

Time to go - lunch preparations to be made. See you later!

3:29 am

sprite

Great, this should work then. I learn at least as much from the babblers as from the grid :)

3:29 am

saphyre

4:33 am

mattygroves

OK, links are on my profile page. I wrote a paper on what makes a good teacher - I got a first on it.

4:34 am

sydnie

why your a grat teacher though if you are in the bad side pepl regret comin to school and will talk about you behin yr back

4:34 am

mattygroves

What will this person be teaching you, Sydnie? English?

4:34 am

FranMag

are there any TSs?

4:35 am

herinfernallady

Rolin a good teacher is someone that listens to the student, doesn't take poo of said students and respects, that even though the teacher may not like a certain author should respect the student does and teach them the same as anyone else unlike my lit teacher which didn't like my pick of 3 authors and refused to teach me, so i left

4:35 am

sydnie

yes unfotunatly

4:35 am

herinfernallady

fran your safe from ts 's today

4:35 am

FranMag

good, i can stop looking for them!

4:35 am

mattygroves

Coming into this late, I don't know how old Rolin's students are, so Sydnie, how old are you?

4:35 am

rolin

lmao....i love it...

4:37 am

rolin

lady...so youre basing your ideas of teachers and teaching around one person??and how s/he rubbed you up the wrong way?

4:37 am

Atalante

my English teacher hates Evelyn Waugh therefore she's a CRAP TEACHER FROM HELL! it works that way, rolin ;)

4:37 am

herinfernallady

No rolin that was a crap example sorry. what i mean sometimes words are dodge

4:37 am

rolin

lady/.i wasnt laughing at you btw..i was reacting to sydnies summation of reaction to my bad moods..

4:37 am

sydnie

yes but dont you think students will learn more if there teachers are really cool and do fun things in lessons like mr williams mrs douglas and all pe teachers and even rolin

4:38 am

rolin

yeah sydnie for a while...but at some stage everyone h things that have to be done that are NOT fun..they are just hard work..as to come to terms that there are

4:38 am

mattygroves

LOL! I had an English teacher who loved Sylvia Plath (this was in University), and I wrote a paper absolutely slating her - saying that if she were around today, she'd be on Springer pouring her woes out to anyone who would listen. I got a 2:1 on that paper.

4:38 am

rolin

my keyboard rearranged that...sorry

4:40 am

rolin

i had a uni lecturer who refused to understand that history taught thru literature was still history...NOT a literature course... i still passed the course with flying colours...but he got his revenge..refused me a reference ....the....(chn present)

4:41 am

sydnie

still all of the students i know regret ever seein teachers that are really strickt like mr ferginson mr alco and teachers that hate me

4:41 am

herinfernallady

no the teacher was a bad teacher because she was given texts to teach us and she didn't like Adrienne Rich (as she Rich is a lesbian, i believe) therefor everybody had to ignore that text and write an essay on robert lowe despite us been given 3 texts to choose. This teacher flat out refused to even explain how the basis of the essay was written, does that make sense rolin?

4:41 am

mattygroves

How many teachers hate you? How old are you?

4:43 am

herinfernallady

I also class bad teachers as teachers that refuse to teach non popular students, I used to love most of my teachers, I had one science teacher that was so patient he got me from a borderline fail to a b, he was amazing

4:43 am

rolin

sydnie....theres a net ettiquette here...you dont dis real ppl using real names..ok?...we can have this conversation in pvt... but you dont know who the others on this site are...and you dont know if they will rocognise who youre talking about...

4:43 am

herinfernallady

ok enough of my prattle i can see a hole being dug to china that im never going to get out of

4:45 am

sydnie

im twelve and there are about fifteen teachers i can trhink that ahte me cause of preveous lessons

4:45 am

mattygroves

Are we talking high school, middle school, what?!

4:45 am

rolin

yeah well..lady...sweeping generalisations like..'refuse to teach'...is some hole..

4:45 am

rolin

sydnie is year 7...going into 8

4:45 am

sydnie

high schoo

4:46 am

saphyre

going back to bed for a while - later everyone

4:46 am

Jencatd

Rolin, I had a music teacher when I was 13 who only taught 2/3 of the class, and dumped the other third who were average into another room, then never actually taught them anything (I was in that 1/3). It took a group complaint to get her to teach us.

4:46 am

mattygroves

Syd, can you think of any reason why these teachers hate you? I have a daughter goint into year 11 (AKKK!)...my daughter has had one or two teachers she didn't much care for, but nothing like 15 teachers - there must be some background to this. And I doubt they hate you. They may have disliked your behaviour, but never you.

4:47 am

mattygroves

Ronin - are you a teacher?

4:47 am

FranMag

bye saphyre!

4:47 am

herinfernallady

true rolin this was one teacher out of i don't know how many, there was about 1000 students in my school and quiet a few of them were horrors.

4:48 am

saphyre

bye fran :)

4:48 am

rolin

jen...i have no idea what the background to such a class arrangement was..

4:48 am

sydnie

yeah my behaviour but that was the beeginin of the year and i have changede but teachers dont give you another chance

4:48 am

rolin

yes matty...i was sydnie's (both of them..lol) teacher last year

4:48 am

herinfernallady

rolin this teacher developed my love of photography, the horrors where the students.

4:49 am

herinfernallady

sydnie do your work, prove yourself that you are worthy and don't take the bait

4:49 am

Jencatd

It was three groups. Students who knew nothing about music or reading music; students who knew how to read music but has little skills beyond that; and the last was students who were good at music.

4:49 am

mattygroves

That must have been fun, rolin! Are you a form or subject teacher?

4:49 am

rolin

and we always remember the teachers we didnt get on with and the teachers who were special to us...and we forget about all the solid work horse teachers that got us thru

4:50 am

rolin

there always are jen..

4:50 am

herinfernallady

peers out of hole at rolin: sorry if i offended

4:50 am

rolin

matty...both...i have a tutor group...now going into yr 10..*sigh...i cant belive how theyve grown...and i am second in fac/teacher for english

4:50 am

sydnie

i will never be forgettin you rollin never evr

4:50 am

Angb

Often teachers seem to dislike you, to challenge you to do better. Often it is better to wonder why and ask why so that you can learn. School is about preparing you for real life. LOL

4:50 am

rolin

lady...no offence taken..honestly..*s*...im a teacher...i have a tough hide..lol

4:52 am

sydnie

yeah all teachers have to have a rough sid e or they wont be able to be a teacher

4:52 am

rolin

oooh theres a whole social treatise about the attitude to education and the training of personal responsible for leaning that this log cant afford

4:53 am

Angb

You're so right rolin

4:53 am

herinfernallady

thats cool rolin as i know how much crap teachers get and how much crap parents let their kids get up to and not take responsiblity. I say you for the teachers they should get paid more.

4:53 am

rolin

and i am loathe to say it.. attitude to education is different here as compared to aus

4:54 am

Angb

OK, I've got stuck. Just can't see the se 6/27. Any clues going?

4:54 am

Jencatd

They care less? Or is it more tough as opposed to Australia?

4:54 am

herinfernallady

rolin i heard that in some parts of england companies sponser schools as there is no funds?

4:55 am

sydnie

rolin are any of your best mates the other teachers at school and herinfernallady what if some peeps have bad times at home all the time

4:55 am

herinfernallady

not there yet anf

4:55 am

Frances

Angb
Sparkly things you sew on your dress

4:55 am

Angb

Doh. Thx Frances

4:56 am

Frances

Angb
You're welcome

4:56 am

rolin

no sydnie...i have a good time with other teachers but we are not 'best mates'

4:56 am

herinfernallady

sydnie home life for some kids is really hard, one of the schools my friends went to the teachers stayed till 6 or 7 at night so kids can get breaks, as for poo home life speaking to teachers, doctors or school counselors can help

4:57 am

rolin

jen..i have this belief that...because schooling is indeed free in this country...it has no value...if it doesnt cost..it has not worth

4:58 am

Jencatd

education is supposed to be free here until you're 19, but the "voluntary" fees are becoming less and less voluntary, since schools aren't getting enough funding at all levels. >_<

4:58 am

sydnie

oh cool i think lots of students have spreded rumers about two teachers young ones

4:58 am

rolin

sydnie....enough

4:59 am

sydnie

ok i weren gunner say anythin after all i am only a typical twelve year old

4:59 am

herinfernallady

jen my old high school made you buy a computor as it was compulsory then made you pay funds so my parents bought the computer then went no fees

4:59 am

rolin

jen...yeah..i know..but the ironic upside to that is...if parents have to pay...they seem to be more prepared to ensure they 'get there moneys worth'

5:00 am

herinfernallady

sydnie nasty rumors about teachers is not cool, some teachers have done nothing wrong and had their whole lives ruined

5:01 am

sydnie

yeah i know that is what im say in that it is wrong its nothin horriblr though

5:01 am

sydnie

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!1

5:02 am

herinfernallady

so you report what you think is total bull to the principle and let them sort it out befor it turns to a mushroom, there is alway someone in charge you can speak to sydnie just here isn't the place

Not always, sadly. He's also the hard cider fairy, the falling asleep and snoring in front of the TV fairy, the pub fairy and the chest hair in the drain fairy.

5:23 am

Angb

Please, the first se 5/14.

5:24 am

Angb

Forget that - obviously time for bed.

5:24 am

FranMag

rolin, add an ending to the di4/5, sort of a plural ending

5:25 am

FranMag

angb, st5/14 is male deer with an extra vowel

5:26 am

FranMag

te5/12 is te** to the sheep (or business) with an extra vowel in it, it wraps around the Q.

hi unea-I've got lilites, lots of roses, mounds andmounds of bee balm, the tomatoes will ripen in about a week, there are increidbly cute baby melons, and the strangest yellow/zucchini squash mutants I've ever seen-planted two species close to each other. The zucchini was clearly dominant, as they are fine, but the yellow crook necks are doing all kinds of remarkable things-yellow and green strips, neon yellow green, oddly shaped. Haven't cooked them yet but will probably taste just fine. Oh, and now that you mention it, lots of echinachea

7:56 am

yes-we're zone 4....very short growing season. Our problem was that for June it rained pretty much every day. The flowers loved it, but not the veggies. But as soon as the sun came out they sprang to life. I know, last year we had a scorcher, but this year has been less bad, especially when I see what you guys have been going through.

8:22 am

Atalante

8:23 am

Uneaixoise

Ata, refresh to see my mom'

8:24 am

ypsigirl

me 6/24?

8:24 am

Eva

unuea-with the house we inherited fall blooming crocuses, which completely baffled me the first year. They send up large tulipy kinds of leaves in the spring, you keep expecting something else to happen, and then it all dies away. The nothing, absolutely nothing, until the fall, when beautiful purple flowers apear, much bigger than regular crocuses.

8:24 am

8:25 am

Atalante

I suppose I'm a cat person, I've always had cats, and Hobbit is my first dog. But I absolutely adore her, and she's definitely helping to convert me dog-wards. But really I just love all animals

8:25 am

Eva

ypsigirl-plural of netty things

8:27 am

ypsigirl

netty things? I must be slow this morning??

8:27 am

Uneaixoise

Ata, I'm just the opposite--was always a dog person (terribly allergic to cats as a child) but am very fond of my friend's cat who acts like a dog!

8:27 am

Eva

your screen windows have me__ , or the TV show Mash with a different vowel. Then pluralize

8:27 am

Uneaixoise

me6 is plural of me4

8:28 am

ypsigirl

oh geez duh, slap slap must get to caffeine

8:28 am

Atalante

it really is the individual animal ... some dogs can be horrid, some cats can be even horrider!

8:31 am

Atalante

merp is certainly gorgeous!

8:31 am

Uneaixoise

Merp's adorable, Eva--there's a neighborhood black and white (chubby) cat who spends lots of time in my yard--when I take my dogs out, they run to greet him and he just ambles off grumbling :-)

8:31 am

8:31 am

ypsigirl

not I Grace

8:32 am

Atalante

and I wish my cat was "long-haired"! I've only just about got her to stop looking anorexic! she's half Burmese so really she's a tiny thing

8:34 am

Eva

read an article a few days ago about how bad it is for ones pets to be overweight and how owners of the round persuasion are more likely to have rotund pets. Seems true in our case. Althoiugh I really and truly don't overfeed him-he gets less than recommended, but is an indoor cat and also middle aged-and just seems prone to gaining weight. Ata-those breeds prettymuch always are long and thing and sleek.

8:35 am

Atalante

I know Eva ... but she really was *scrawny*! She was 3lb at a year old - she's now gained 2lbs in the last few months woohoo and looks sleek and gorgeous!

8:37 am

bobka

You might have some se6s on your dress. They're shiny.

8:37 am

Eva

wow, that is thin! Was she a foundling? Do you have a pic? Merp was always around 13 and a half pounds but over the past two years has edged up into the high 14's (longer fur of course)

8:37 am

ypsigirl

thx bobka@

8:40 am

Atalante

nope - we got her from our next door's neighbour, whose pedigree burmese cat accidentally met a tabby farm cat .... she's just always been *tiny*. Her brothers are huge great big strapping farm cat type things! And she's always eaten loads, just never really gained much weight until recently.

8:40 am

9:32 am

Uneaixoise

gardengirl, I'm back--zoned out playing with photocards on Smilebox

9:34 am

gardengirl

there are all kinds of natural repellents. my husband has been known to pee out in the garden-ewww. It did help! I have also heard that salt licks away from your garden help.

9:34 am

Uneaixoise

annie, here's some info: http://www.lotf.com/misc/deer/deer.htm
