i like to start looking at patters. like, pick four in a diamond, and see if those can be a word, CW or ccw. then move to the next diamond. sometimes that way you see something that you overlooked by looking to hard.

They were my mother's cousins. My hubby met Donald Shand on business visits to the USA and he kept telling us to visit but we couldn't (too much biz). I met Ian in England, about 1940, with his 2 sons. I think they're still alive - one a professor in Scotland, I think, the other in the Aussie army, but they won't remember little me.

fun way to learn history

3:04 am

seano216k

a very historical place gibraltar, every where you walk there are reminders of it's history...fortified walls, cannons littered everywhere

3:06 am

seano216k

right, i am going to sneak back to bed, see if wifey has even noticed i was gone...bye alll for now

3:07 am

jillibus

monkeys too, as I recall?

3:07 am

Haz1558

Good morning all.

3:08 am

MVA

morning haz, bye seano

3:08 am

jillibus

Hail Haz! And what flag have we here?

3:08 am

seano216k

lots of monkeys.... one had the cheek to scratch my sons arm....but he did try and stroke one of the babies....a big no no

3:08 am

Haz1558

We have the flag of Ulster, one of the four provinces of Ireland.

3:09 am

jillibus

This is so interesting and colourful!

3:10 am

Haz1558

You can't see it too clearly, but the thing in the middle is a red hand. Legend has it that an invading force's leader promised a prize to the first man whose right hand touched land. A left-handed man cut off his right hand, threw it at the land and won the prize. He can't have been too bright! Of course,it is just a legend.

3:11 am

jillibus

Yuk!

3:11 am

MVA

lovely story haz!

3:12 am

Haz1558

There are several versions of the Ulster Flag, some more politically sensitive than others. This is the non-politicised version as used by sports teams etc.

3:14 am

Haz1558

Well, I hate to say it, but today's grid is finished already. Quite a contrast to yesterday's offering from Dr_God.

3:14 am

jillibus

Good! BTW all you brits -- a while a go someone in the US wanted to know what the flag on a teddybear represented - it was the Union Flag (Jack)!!!

3:15 am

jillibus

Well done, Haz - I've been enjoying the chat and still have 14 to go.

3:15 am

MVA

well done haz!

3:16 am

Haz1558

Jillibus, what strikes me about many, not all Americans, is that they are not well-informed about life outside the US. Granted, it is a big country, but general knowledge about other places seems to be lacking. (Cue howls of outrage from the US contingent)

3:18 am

jillibus

They don't get much chance - their TV is so introspective and that's what they watch - centre of the universe, y'know!

3:18 am

MVA

breakfast calls, bbl

3:18 am

jillibus

have a good one, MVA!

3:18 am

sherb

morning all :)

3:19 am

Haz1558

I've only been to the States once, a very short visit for a wedding, and that is exactly the impression we got - the news centred around the US to an extraordinary degree.

3:19 am

Haz1558

Good morning sherb - recovered after yesterday's efforts? You'll have no problems today.

3:19 am

jillibus

Hello sherb - another handsome flag I see...whose?

3:20 am

jillibus

I watch

3:20 am

jillibus

cnn

3:20 am

sherb

hi Haz :) ...48 words in the 30 minute challenge this morning... 20 hours left to find the other 6...

3:20 am

ExWren

Hello everyone. My wish was granted, I asked for a small grid and got it. My icon is the White ensign. It is for the Royal Naval Association

3:20 am

sherb

morning jilli :) ....it's the flag of Yorkshire, my home county...

3:21 am

Haz1558

Good morning ex-Wren. I caught you signing off last night. You weren't very happy!

3:21 am

FMitch

Well I am gob smacked sherb, I didn't know that Yorkshire had a flag (family hail form there).

Sorry, morning all

3:22 am

jillibus

Start again! I watch CNN and it seldom deviates from US news. I also watch BBC World (I think unavailable there) to get what else is going on. Also our CBC is well balanced but unavailable in the US except at the border. Pity.

3:22 am

sherb

yesterday's grid was horrendous... I found 148 words without the list... and gave up for the last one - selah...

3:22 am

Haz1558

Well, it is Hebrew!

3:23 am

ExWren

You are quite right Haz. I didn't like that grid one little bit, and had to give in needing 69, with my eyes half closed!

3:23 am

FranMag

hi all!

3:23 am

sherb

morning FMitch :)

3:23 am

Angb

Hi all

3:23 am

Haz1558

I didn't like the grid either! Good morning FranMag and FMitch!

3:23 am

jillibus

Well, Wren, that's a flag I recognise! Welcome

jillibus

FranMag

Angb

3:24 am

Angb

Hi sherb

3:24 am

3:25 am

Haz1558

You're right, FMitch. I feel like I've been cheated or something!

3:25 am

FranMag

hi sherb, eurhythmy was the main one, then a bunch of two letter ones.

3:25 am

Angb

Thnx aleksia

3:25 am

jillibus

Hello, Angb! I know your flag too...

3:26 am

Angb

Yours is interesting. Canadian, but ...

3:27 am

FranMag

3:27 am

verna

3:27 am

jillibus

Angb

Well done verna

3:28 am

FranMag

yay verna!

3:28 am

verna

thank you Angb

3:28 am

sherb

I just realised yesterday that there's no time limit on word builder... I'd been trying to do it quickly... it was more enjoyable when I had time to think about it...

3:28 am

FMitch

Wish we could go back and do archive babble grids like you can do on Sudoku.

3:30 am

Haz1558

We'll watch out for soaring points total on Wordbuilder for you from now on, sherb!

3:30 am

sherb

that would be good FMitch... would transform the rankings as well...

3:30 am

rycaut

how many words today?

3:30 am

Haz1558

54 words today.

3:30 am

jillibus

54, rycaut

3:31 am

Angb

I'm getting thru this a bit quick today. Do you think after all the whinging last nite Dr God is being kind?

3:31 am

jillibus

Ang, did you click on my flag?

3:31 am

FMitch

Friad not Angb, it's all totally random.

3:32 am

Frances

Wow.....stuck it out yesterday until I finished and now I have fireworks two days in a row. Any ideas for the rest of the day?

3:32 am

mrpresident

back for a chat!!

3:32 am

Angb

Sure did. BC. Would love to visit sometime.

3:32 am

FranMag

3:32 am

FMitch

Hi MrP

3:33 am

sherb

numerous other game sites, Frances... IronSudoku, QuotePuzzler...

3:33 am

Haz1558

Hello mrpresident. Some of us are never happy. We complained about the grid being difficult, today it is too quick. Are we a bunch of whingers?

3:33 am

jillibus

Kiwis come here occasionally...

3:33 am

sherb

hi mrp :)

3:33 am

mrpresident

Hello FMitch! how are you doing??

3:33 am

jillibus

Hello again mrp

3:33 am

FranMag

3:34 am

mrpresident

3:34 am

FMitch

Fine thanks MrP and done with the grid, as Haz said earlier feel cheated as it was too quick.

3:34 am

Angb

Hi mrp

3:35 am

Frances

Thanks sherb. I always forget IronSudoku and I've never tried QuotePuzzler. Must have a look.

3:35 am

jillibus

But, FMitch, I'm taking my time and enjoying the chat with 12 yet to find and no hurry

3:35 am

mrpresident

Hi angb!!

3:35 am

mrpresident

3:36 am

mrpresident

3:36 am

FMitch

3:38 am

sherb

3:38 am

FranMag

3:42 am

FranMag

3:42 am

jillibus

YAY riemann!

Haz1558

Congratulations sherb - so you couldn't spin it out any longer!

3:49 am

jillibus

firewords - yawn!!!!

3:49 am

sherb

I can see how going without the list could become addictive... if the grids are short, and you've got the time...

3:50 am

Angb

Good one sherb

3:50 am

FranMag

yay jilli!!!

3:50 am

Haz1558

But if the grids aren't short?

3:50 am

Angb

Great jillibus

3:51 am

Haz1558

jillibus - well done!

3:51 am

jillibus

and so to bed, filled with dread -- 300+ may lie ahead!

3:52 am

sherb

forget it!! ...there's also something therapeutic about using the list... I still start at the end and work backwards...

3:52 am

hydra

Just logged on. Love the rhyme, jillibus!

3:52 am

sherb

nite jilli... good verse... :)

3:52 am

jillibus

Hi hydra!! thx

3:52 am

Haz1558

Not to fear, jillibus dear, with the friends about, to help you out.

3:54 am

jillibus

good one, Haz! But I'll have little time tomorrow -- bridge all afternoon and then I hope for a swim -- weather forecast is good

3:54 am

MVA

going to go now, enjoy the grid all, see you tomorrow!

3:54 am

Haz1558

Ah well, hope to see you at some stage. Sleep well, jillibus.

3:54 am

hydra

3:55 am

jillibus

Love this place! Nighty night now...

3:55 am

Angb

Nite jillibus

3:55 am

Jacula

Morning all. 4 to go and I'm typing as slow as I can...:(

3:56 am

Haz1558

Never let it be said that sherb takes her games seriously.

3:56 am

Haz1558

One letter at a time, Jacula?

3:56 am

sherb

morning Jac :)

I like to multitask, Haz :)

3:57 am

Jacula

Something like that, Haz.:)

3:57 am

Haz1558

Except that I put in long gaps between my words and it has taken them out. Good morning,Jacula.

3:57 am

spellit

wh4/9! What a great word to finish on! What will I do for the rest of the day?

3:58 am

Jacula

You could do my ironing, spellit...

3:58 am

Haz1558

Good morning spellit. Get out your scrabble board and try to beat sherb in wordbuilder on quote-puzzler.

3:58 am

spellit

Funny but my wife said that this morning...

3:59 am

Jacula

That reminds me, I must e-mail the quote-puzzler boss to see why it won't let me join!

4:00 am

sherb

oh no... I fear I might have given rise to great expectations... I'll probably score about 10...

4:00 am

spellit

Hi Hazel - I'll have to have a look at this QuotePuzzler

4:00 am

Jacula

I don't believe this! The 4 words I am missing (2 e's, a g & an s) are all 4-letter words.

4:01 am

Haz1558

sherb has been spreading the word about it. www.quote-puzzler.com.

4:02 am

rycaut

done

4:03 am

sherb

if only it had a better chat log... it's not really a place to hang out, unlike Babble...

4:03 am

davetysall

any se 4,8 clues?

4:03 am

Haz1558

Congratulations rycaut!

4:03 am

Haz1558

4:04 am

davetysall

4:05 am

Haz1558

Not at all. We'll be jumping on clue-seekers with great eagerness today.

4:05 am

Jacula

LOL, Haz.

4:06 am

sherb

Fran set a tough benchmark yesterday... 147 points...

4:07 am

Haz1558

I had been feeling pleased with myself yesterday, sherb, in the lead on wordbuilder until Fran stepped in. But I'm not bitter....

4:08 am

davetysall

4:08 am

Jacula

Not fair! (Stamps foot) Why won't the site let me join??

4:08 am

ExWren

4:40 am

I'm fine, mrpresident, thanks. Just lurking now that the grid is done.

5:08 am

Haz1558

Atalante, last Sunday's grid is worth looking at. More babblets than you would believe. But, more importantly, is the dog okay?

5:09 am

mattygroves

Cheers Ata - how do you like the vintage *clink*

5:09 am

Atalante

dog's fine! she had a wonderful time! she got to run on beaches and in forests and chased rabbits and met loads of other dogs and even went into a castle!

5:10 am

I fly to the States a week from today - hope everything calms down by then.

5:10 am
