12:53 am

metaleather

oooh SJ said a word

12:54 am

SamanthaJoy

They haven't sold them *anywhere* since, I believe, the early Seventies

12:54 am

helenkeller

i'm pretty sure they didn't sell it in chicago either, lol

12:54 am

jillibus

MVA - do you remember Flanders and Swann?

12:54 am

SamanthaJoy

The Volkswagen Thing was based on the "Typ 82 Kübelwagen," Germany's equivalent to the Jeep during World War II. In 1969, a slightly modified form dubbed the "Kubelwagen Model 181" was manufactured in and sold to Americans as the Thing.

12:55 am

MVA

yes, old time variety shows?

12:55 am

SamanthaJoy

Though exceedingly rare, there are still thousands of Things out there. Before 1969, the cars were built in Germany, and then production was moved to Mexico from 1973 until 1980. Production estimates range from 70,000 to 140,000 Things built. Owners tend to be a fiercely proud breed, and naturally they have their own web ring.

1:13 am

SamanthaJoy

1:14 am

FranMag

thanks frances!

I have my four year old granddaughter helping me to enter the words

1:29 am

Ornith

I didn't know that was a bird either mitch, though I had the word

1:30 am

1:33 am

FranMag

shminky, i have two little ones, but they were both great sleepers, i wouldn't know what to tell you.

1:33 am

Ornith

My parents used to drive me around in the car to make me fall asleep. Also play one of those recordings of waves

1:34 am

FranMag

FranMag

1:35 am

I always found that stroking very very gently across the forehead and around the eyes had this little one asleep in minutes.

1:36 am

FranMag

saphyre, thanks for your clue, you can extend that word for the female version of the yo4 also

1:36 am

1:38 am

spangles

vintage parent here. Put the baby in bed walk away close the door and let baby cry for ten minutes. If still crying go back in give baby a cuddle and place back in bed. keep doing this and baby will get the message. A good idea too is to give baby a special bed time only toy. When baby sees the toy it is bedtime. Make sure you always put baby to bed. Do not sit the baby on your lap to sleep. The sooner the baby knows to sleep in his/her own bed the better.

1:38 am

FranMag

ML, i remembered it from a previous grid.

jillibus

spangles - is your icon a clue? looks like a bell but isn't?

1:41 am

metaleather

it looks like a ship's bell to me

1:41 am

spangles

The secret is not to let the crying get to you. It is the parent who cant stand the crying. I know what you are saying, but believe me, be patient it does work for all babies. You just have to be strong.

1:42 am

saphyre

have to disagree spangles - I agree it works with some but not with all

1:42 am

spangles

Jillibus my icon is definetely a clue di4,7 and do4,7

1:42 am

spangles

Saphyre we will just have to agree to disagree.

1:42 am

FMitch

spangles icon could be the 2 d words for sounds that bell makes and both words can be plural too

When I try mistyping, I just get red messages....

3:25 am

way to go sprite... and I can't even find the gentleman

3:25 am

metaleather

lol@self

3:25 am

FMitch

Someone had a great icon earlier Rodin's the kiss for the sn4/6 but I see so far no-one has gone for an icon clue for the or4 or yor thank goodness

3:26 am

Haz1558

Nor du4/8. The smell!

3:26 am

sprite

I think the gentleman isn't valid today.
Start with what is on the th6/27 along the road that tell you how hard you can drive or where to go.

3:27 am

FMitch

Haz - there are deities in the grid?

3:27 am

sprite

An O4 of Y5/18 would be interesting though ;)

3:27 am

metaleather

probably tantric as well

3:28 am

FMitch

lol metal

3:28 am

Haz1558

Oh THAT deity!

3:29 am

sprite

And they say Gi7/44 is good for giving you more En6/30.

3:30 am

Haz1558

It got Linford Christie into a whole heap of trouble!

3:31 am

Thanks didn't have the gi7

3:31 am

Some great words today

3:32 am

FMitch

The ro and re 8s are good ones

3:32 am

True! And I love the i7/40.

3:33 am

FMitch

... and today's fish is brought to you by the letter G (for a 7 & 8)

3:34 am

mkl

Can anyone clue me on the si7,36 si8,50 and the si8,60?

3:34 am

sprite

Ah, are those fish? I associated them with things to hit with or something.

3:35 am

FMitch

Well in babble land sprite they would be used to hit with lol

3:35 am

sprite

mkl: Start with what is on the th6/27 along the road that tell you how hard you can drive or where to go. Then put an ending behind it from the word for older people (s... citizens).

3:35 am

sprite

LOL! That must be it... I will probably need them for just that!

3:36 am

ARB

Any hints on the last do 5/16?

3:37 am

mkl

Can't think what the th6,27 would be. Are the signs in America? Cause they might be something I've never heard of. OR I might just be dense

3:37 am

sprite

Don't know about last or not, ARB, but I have a Do5 that rhymes with yesterday's word for having an ample bosom.

3:37 am

lynxxx

helo ARB - plural the word before

3:38 am

sprite

LOL you just said the word I mean, nkl. The s4, yes.

3:38 am

mrpresident

the last do5, put a sometimes vowel on the end of the do4/5

3:38 am

I think it is tricky

3:42 am

sprite

Lol mkl, it is a very common word. We use it whenever we want to describe something we don't know nothing about :)

3:43 am

mrpresident

the th5 and 6 rhymes with the leather strap you use to control a horse

3:43 am

mkl

Aha. I already had that one. I was trying to go with the first th6,27 and not working it out

Any clues for the si8,60?

3:44 am

Haz1558

The first th6/27 begins with the definite article and ends with a mix up of the same letters as the more common th6/27

3:45 am

FMitch

re 8 builds from the re5 sap from pine trees, ro 8 builds from the ro5 violinist use on their bows

3:54 am

mrpresident

both the si8 build from the si4/6 meaning indicate... comes to mean the italian for MR, alt spelling

3:54 am

4:01 am

Cat9x

6:03 am

lynxxx

hi pida - and bloodaxe ! (good to see you have turned pro so to speak)

6:03 am

Bloodaxe

thanks all.
I guess this means that I amoung the "official" addicts.

6:05 am

caitlyn

How long have you been playing Bloodaxe?

6:06 am

Bloodaxe

14 days....i guess.
that's what it said when I tried to play this morning and I was blocked from seeing the stats unless I went pro.

6:06 am

pida 1

Oh, I don't know. You can be addicted, and not be pro, But now we get to find out a little more about you, and you can put an icon up.

6:07 am

Beast

anyone have a clue for the go5/20?

6:07 am

Bloodaxe

i think paying to play just sort of makes the addiction official.

6:07 am

lynxxx

plus with a grid like this you need every bit of help you can get - and the stats are good.

6:08 am

Uneaixoise

go5 is a thief, swindler, rascal

6:08 am

Bloodaxe

they sure are.
I like the grid. Otherwise the game would almost be impossible.
It's hard enough since I can't get lickety's or any of the other "friends" pages.

6:08 am

Scrabbler

Good plan, caitlyn

6:46 am

lynxxx

The problem is that this screen is soooo colorful etc that people can see it from accross a room! maybe Dr G can make it look like a spreadsheet - would work for me.

6:46 am

Scrabbler

But you ARE gathering data Marso

6:46 am

Wolvie

I work from home - no help for me there

6:46 am

marso

good idea,,,now everyone send dr g an email an ask him to change it lol

6:47 am

Ragalla

i remember a button on a game website (cant remember which site) that you could click if you were being approached by the work police and it would bring up a spreadsheet to make you look all diligent

6:47 am

inge

Good morning, everybody. Whee, my whole name is in the grid. I have to work quickly, since I am giving a Tour of Detroit, mainly the Henry Ford Museum, at 11:30.

6:47 am

caitlyn

Beast

6:55 am

Beast

haz, that is too tempting :)

6:55 am

Jacula

Haz - you're looking remarkably like Martha Longhurst today!

6:55 am

Haz1558

Yes - I wondered how many people would recognise her!

6:56 am

Beast

sorry excuse my ignorance, but who is martha longhurst?

6:56 am

Jacula

Martha, Ena & Minnie - who could forget them and their stout in the sn4 of The Rovers?

6:57 am

Jacula

Beast - She was a character in Coronation Street.

6:57 am

Beast

ahh, ok then, i don't feel so bad

6:57 am

Becca Lorum

I didn't know her either Beast

6:57 am

Jacula

Must go now. *CLICK!*

6:57 am

Haz1558

Martha Longhurst was an early member of the cast of Coronation Street. She died in the pub. I remembered that they didn't play any music over the closing credits.....

6:57 am

Beast

coronation street was on here when i was a kid, but i never really watched it

6:57 am

Wolvie

same here beast - I didn't recognize her either

6:58 am

chubby05

How many words today please ??

6:58 am

Wolvie

6:58 am

Wolvie

208 chubby

6:58 am

Beast

i was just worried tat she was some important historical figure that i should know about

6:58 am

chubby05

Thanks

6:58 am

Haz1558

No, of no importance in the grand scheme of things.

6:59 am

Becca Lorum

why can't I have indo? As in Indo-chinese?

6:59 am

Haz1558

Because it's an abbreviation for a capitalised word.

7:00 am

Atalante

you just answered your own question ...

7:00 am

Becca Lorum

Oh yeah - stink *Goes into corner for a quick sulk*

7:01 am

Beast

well i better go now, will be back tomorrow to finish

Becca Lorum

Bye beast

7:01 am

Haz1558

Bye beast.

7:01 am

Beast

hope you all have a good fun and don't get up to too much mischeif without me

7:01 am

Wolvie

no no - no trolls today. ;-)

7:09 am

jimmack

The top left E begins 6 words. The E below it begins 2. Does this mean that the lower E words *must* begin with EO or ES? (ie. the words can't be started with the top left E)

7:10 am

Wolvie

they can go any direction, jimmack - as long as the tiles touch

7:11 am

Inge2

it does, Jimmack

7:11 am

jimmack

Yes, but I'm trying to find out if the reason that the lower E starts two words is because those words have to have O or S as a second letter, so the top left E couldn't start them. I'm not sure if I'm asking the question very clearly :-)

7:11 am

Haz1558

The word is counted from the first opportunity to use the first letter, so you are right to say that the second e has to begin eo or es.

7:11 am

Wolvie

that being said, the lower left hand e does contain 2 eo words

7:12 am

jimmack

Thanks Inge2 :-)

7:12 am

Inge2

(morning wolvie, and all)

7:12 am

Wolvie

okay. I stand corrected

7:12 am

jimmack

Aha! Thank you all :-)

7:12 am

Wolvie

sort of. ;-)

7:12 am

Wolvie

Hi inge 2!

7:12 am

Inge2

7:18 am

Becca Lorum

Any clues for the eo words please?

7:18 am

abe79

eo + act of wrongdoing

7:18 am

Wolvie

eo plus evil act, becca then plural

7:18 am

abe79

good morning everyone

7:18 am

Wolvie

hi abe!

7:18 am

Haz1558

eo4 is the long period of time. eo5 - add a Biblical term for wrongdoing, then plural for eo6.

7:19 am

abe79

Hi Wolvie

7:19 am

Wolvie

good going haz - forgot that other eo was thinking of jimm' e. :-)

7:19 am

7:21 am

abe79

7:21 am

CJ25

7:22 am

abe79

cj-plural of the 5 eo + multiple acts of wrongdoing

7:22 am

Haz1558

Remember the latin type from a few days ago? Take off the plural ending. Also there are animals (gn4)

7:22 am

8:08 am

Wolvie

seano - it was clued as a fish - sort of rhymes with torture chamber

8:08 am

seano216k

fi5/18 (2nd one) is the alt spelling of the norwegian coastline

Wolvie

raelite

I tell the fam to put on sweaters

8:48 am

bunnyvicious

We were at a hundred degrees plus til about last week. Then lots of rain, which we needed and it's nice and cool (87). Rain helped with the tree planting.

8:50 am

klaurel

I have a 3 year old who likes to run around naked

8:50 am

klaurel

8:50 am

raelite

lol

8:51 am

raelite

how is your son doing today?

8:52 am

klaurel

he is okay

8:52 am

klaurel

doesn't really want to go to school since he is having trouble with this english thing they do

8:52 am

raelite

still recovering or is he feeling better about the whole thing?

8:52 am

klaurel

STEM words, instead of learning how to spell traditional words, they are learning the greek and latin roots to words

8:53 am

raelite

really?? that's interesting

8:53 am

raelite

he'll be an excellent speller

8:53 am

klaurel

he still hates the bus since the other bullies are loud. They leave him alone, but the bus is still noisy and annoying

8:53 am

klaurel

he will if he doesn't fail English because of this!@

8:53 am

beebee

klaurel- the STEMS suck- is he in 6th grade?

8:53 am

klaurel

beebee - He is in FOURTH grade, but he is Academically Talented

8:54 am

raelite

8:54 am

klaurel

8:54 am

klaurel

the problem is that they have to memorize these things and they have to so EXACT

8:55 am

raelite

I am actually a middle school teacher but decided I didn't want to teach because of my illness

8:55 am

raelite

stems can be taxing but the best way is to make flash cards and do mnemonics.

8:55 am

klaurel

*HUGS* I understand that

8:55 am

beebee

klaurel- good for him:)- but the stems are rough,we must have went through 3 packs of flash cards

8:56 am

bunnyvicious

Unless anyone needs a clue, I'm gonna get to mowing...

8:56 am

beebee

bunny- all the words please- ;)

8:56 am

klaurel

yep, we made flashcards and we are hoping he does well. But he has NEVER gotten an F before and he got one on the first test, so, he is VERY nervous now

8:56 am

klaurel

yes, please bunny. I echo beebee's sentiments

8:56 am

Wolvie

I could use the oh, bunny - and congrats by the way - didn't see the fireworks

melonheadjujube

that's a tall one - pick4 or 5.

9:39 am

melonheadjujube

gu 7 - a fish, starts sort of good, ends like the caviar bearer.

9:40 am

melonheadjujube

ge 7 - think spiniing and a plasticky suffix, as in polysty----

9:41 am

kkiln

melon --- I did not get the yo 7? Italian?

9:41 am

Hi there

the so&'s?

9:41 am

melonheadjujube

gu 7/40 - a monkey - may require monkey typing! haha! "Guess none is hidden here." (a cryptic clue)

9:41 am

melonheadjujube

could be, kk

9:41 am

mattygroves

Just started today (hi all) - your clues don't yet make sense to me..

9:42 am

melonheadjujube

so 7 - Italian for mute & it's plural (change ending vowel) - sounds like something sharp at first.

9:44 am

melonheadjujube

kk, did you get the yo7 - it's plural of yo6, which could be italian for a Hanna Bar_Bear-a character.

9:45 am

melonheadjujube

matty, pardon my obscureness.

9:45 am

melonheadjujube

now, buy to all. A Sweet new Year to all who celebrate & a meaningful Ramadan.

10:19 am

Vicuna

eo5/10 - something chemical, eo + a wicked action

10:23 am

Vicuna

Umm, did I say something wrong?...

10:24 am

mattygroves

Nope, Vicuna - not at all?

10:25 am

Vicuna

Just total silence fell as soon as I appeared, so naturally I assumed I ought to take it personally. ;)

10:25 am

mattygroves

Oooh. Shall we sing a song, get the party started again?

10:25 am

Bloodaxe

Hi Vic!!!!
thanks for the clue!

10:26 am

Vicuna

Yes, please! What song?
Hello, Bloodaxe!

10:26 am

mattygroves

How about....ummm....songs we sang as kids

10:26 am

renfield

i want to sing!

10:26 am

mattygroves

"Found a peanut, found a peanut, found a PEANUT one night"

10:27 am

Vicuna

Oh, they built the ship Titanic, to sail the ocean blue...

10:27 am

mattygroves

"Last night I found a peanut, found a peanut last night"

10:27 am

Vicuna

(That's funny, mattygroves. We always found our peanuts "right now.")

10:28 am

renfield

and they wre rotten?

10:28 am

mattygroves

Ha, Vicuna! Did you puke the peanut up the way we did, or were we just gross?

10:28 am

Vicuna

Yeah, but we ate them anyway, right now.

10:28 am

Vicuna

Oh, we definitely puked them... unless maybe we barfed them?

10:28 am

mattygroves

Yep - except we did last night. Then we died.

10:29 am

Vicuna

Yeah, we died, too... but right now.

10:29 am

mattygroves

"Went to heaven, went to heaven went to HEAVEN last night. Last night I went to heaven, went to heaven last night"

10:29 am

renfield

and you found a peanut?

10:29 am

mattygroves

"Didn't like it, didn't like it DIDN'T LIKE it last night, last night I didn't like it, didn't like it last night"

10:29 am

allfleshisgrass

my, my, my..... the highbrows relate the tale of the upchuck!

10:30 am

mattygroves

You can probably guess where we went from there!

10:30 am

Vicuna

If we all went to heaven, we must not have had many si4/4.

10:30 am

Vicuna

"the other way"

10:30 am

mattygroves

Well, we got kicked out of heaven, and went - er, the other way.

10:30 am

mattygroves

WE didn't like that, either, so last night we were reincarnated.

10:30 am

mattygroves

At which point...

10:30 am

harpjane

hello

10:30 am

mattygroves

"Found a peanut, found a peanut, found a PEANUT last night..."

10:30 am

renfield

you found a peanut?

10:30 am

mattygroves

Oh, how the hours on school busses just passed.

10:31 am

Vicuna

Yeah, especially for the driver. heh.

10:31 am

Vicuna

Hello, harpjane.

10:31 am

renfield

hey ya harp!

10:31 am

mattygroves

Did you ever..."caught a little baby bumble bee, won't my mommy be so proud of me, I caught a little baby bumble be.....oops, it stung me"

10:32 am

GMO

Shortly after which we washed the PEANUTS down with 99 bottles of beer....

10:32 am

Vicuna

Oh yeah, we did that, too. You obviously love your regurgitation-themed ditties!

10:33 am

mattygroves

Yep, well. The joys of being 10. Mind you, I taught them to my (English raised) daughter with great glee.

10:33 am

mattygroves

Guess I'm just a 10 year old at heart.

10:33 am

Vicuna

So were these songs new to the British schoolchildren?

10:34 am

mattygroves

Seemed to be. My daughter especially loved:

10:34 am

mattygroves

"Miss Lucy had a steamboat, the steamboat had a bell. Miss Lucy went to heaven and the steamboat went to...Hell-o operator...etc"

10:34 am

Vicuna

Ah, cultural exchange. What pearls of wisdom we can learn from others...

10:35 am

Vicuna

...Miss Lucy sat upon it, and broke her little ASSk me no more questions...

10:36 am

mattygroves

Oooh - I learned it like this "Behind the refrigerator, there is a piece of glass, if Miss Lucy sits upon it, it will go right up her ASSk me no more questions..."

10:36 am

harpjane

so far, none of your icon clues are helping....

10:36 am

GMO

We used to bang a rubber ball in a nylon up against the wall when we sang about good old Miss Lucy..

10:36 am

mattygroves

We clapped hands.

10:36 am

Vicuna

That makes more sense, I suppose. I always thought it should cut her ask, but that's not the way it went...

10:37 am

mattygroves

You know, girls' handclapping rythm tings.

10:37 am

GMO

I also remember "In the land of Mars where the ladies smoke cigars..."

10:37 am

Vicuna

Are there in Brits around who want to contribute some risque childhood songs of their own?

10:37 am

mattygroves

I'll ask my daughter (jimjams on here) to contribute when she gets home from school (she's 15 now)

10:38 am

Vicuna

I know there was a place in France where the naked ladies dance...
Come to think of it, that place undoubtedly still exists.

10:38 am

mattygroves

What did she do - "Double double this this, double double that that. Double this double that double double this that". Or something. It had a very strict clapping sequence.

10:38 am

torgone

Is this thing on? . .

10:39 am

Vicuna

No, torgone, we can't hear you.

10:39 am

mattygroves

and Torgone takes the floor.

10:39 am

torgone

Good ..

10:39 am

Vicuna

You're free to say whatever you want about Tony Blair.

10:39 am

torgone

Just checking ... I was having problems ...

10:40 am

mattygroves

My phantom - dough and doughy.

10:40 am

torgone

doughnuts

10:41 am

GMO

Do most people finish a grid of this size?

10:41 am

Atalante

hi again all :)

10:42 am

Flask1

Hiya Atal...how are you??

10:43 am

Vicuna

Hello, Atalante.
GMO, I don't know the percentage. Many of us regular chatters finish them all.

10:43 am

stidmama

hi Atalante. Forgot to ask yesterday how the picture was received?

10:43 am

stidmama

hi all!

10:43 am

Vicuna

Hello, stidmama. Lovely icon.

10:43 am

stidmama

Any many of us regulars finish the ones that are convenient, and just get as many as we can otherwise.

10:43 am

mattygroves

I finish when I have time.

10:44 am

stidmama

Thanks Vi -- word from the grid day -- you should see brown on green...

10:44 am

mattygroves

Most weekends, and weekdays when the grid isn't too big.

10:44 am

mattygroves

I'm not at work today (bad cold) so should finish today

10:44 am

Vicuna

Generally if I know I won't have time, I don't even start, which is lame. But if I start it bugs me until I finish.

10:44 am

Flask1

I just do as much as I can....while still enjoying it!

10:44 am

Vicuna

Yup, that's what I'm talking about stid!

10:44 am

mattygroves

Stid, is that a fish?

10:44 am

stidmama

{{{matty}}} drink some nice warm tea with lemon in it...

10:45 am

stidmama

I believe that would be a fish, yes, matty!

10:45 am

Atalante

hi Stid! She hasn't got it yet ... its her birthday tomorrow :) I got a mount made up for it yesterday, so it looks a bit more professional now!

10:45 am

torgone

Hahaha! Nice pic stid!

10:45 am

Atalante

awww matty :( lemon and honey for you!

10:45 am

Vicuna

Poor matty. Feel better soon.

10:45 am

mattygroves

Aww...thanks. Mind if I put some whiskey in it (it's nearly 5.00 here) - hot Toddy time soon...

10:46 am

stidmama

mmm. I would use Rum myself (being a closet pirate) but... whiskey sounds like a reasonable substitute!

10:46 am

mattygroves

I only have one eight, which I think is the GU fish one - can anyone help with the others?

10:46 am

Atalante

my PhD tutor told me that anything gets better with a mug of lemon, honey and whisky. And he's not far wrong ...

10:46 am

Vicuna

Atalante, is your icon an or4?

10:47 am

Haz1558

Back again at last. I thought I was NEVER going to get back to fhish. 60 to go.

10:47 am

stidmama

Hard to believe it could look any more professional, but... :-)

10:47 am

stidmama

hello Haz!

10:47 am

Atalante

yes Vicuna! Its from "The Rake's Progress" by Hogarth. I thought I'd try and find the most inappropriate word to find a pic for LOL

10:47 am

stidmama

I am up to 71 in about 25 minutes... but slowing down now.

10:48 am

Haz1558

Hello Stidmama - just going to check out your icon to see if I've got it...

10:48 am

Sharidan

any help for fi5/22

10:48 am

Vicuna

re8 and ro8 are the same except for one letter. (I think you can figure out which one!) They are both adj endings, one on dried pine sap, the other on the similar word

10:48 am

mattygroves

Ahh - more Brits. Right, Haz and Atlante - we were sharing school bus songs and clapping songs, and the question was asked what the British versions were - what did YOU guys sing to annoy teachers, bus drivers and other parents?

10:48 am

Haz1558

I've never annoyed anyone in my life....

10:48 am

Vicuna

I recognized it, Ata. Inappropriate word, but relatively tasteful depiction!

10:49 am

Atalante

ha ha I went to a convent school! singing kiddy songs was totally out of bounds!

10:49 am

Haz1558

fi5/22 - is almost someone who can't keep still

10:50 am

Vicuna

fi5/22 - almost where you keep food cold, almost chocolate confection

10:51 am

Atalante

but clapping songs - there was one about a guy in a Chinese takeaway. well what else!

10:51 am

Vicuna

Hmm... Maybe you could work up a catchy little clapping sequence for "Ave Maria"...

10:51 am

stidmama

Vi, I got the r 8s! those were my first two. Thanks.

10:51 am

Sharidan

got it, thanks Vicuna and Haz!

10:51 am

Vicuna

Ooo, sing us the Chinese takeaway song!

10:52 am

Haz1558

Well done Sharidan.

10:52 am

Atalante

I'm trying to remember it now!

10:52 am

Lala7

phantom word -- dungeon

10:53 am

stidmama

there is a similar word to that Lala7 -- starts with a G...

10:53 am

Atalante

IT started "I went to a Chinese restaurant, to buy a loaf of bread ..., He wrapped it up in a five pound note, and this is what he said said said" and then kind of degenerated into any randomness you wanted to add

10:54 am

remluc

go 5??

10:54 am

Lala7

Wow, thanks, Stid. Wasn't even asking for a clue. Bonus!

10:54 am

Haz1558

Which one, remluc?

10:55 am

stidmama

:-) the go 5 I have is go + ending of the place in C.S. Lewis Story Nar***

10:55 am

remluc

either one. :)

10:55 am

remluc

ty stid

10:55 am

Atalante

there's another - same as stid's but with a consonant at the end instead

10:56 am

stidmama

thanks Ata!

10:56 am

Atalante

(and pl)

10:56 am

remluc

ty atalante

10:56 am

Haz1558

For go5/14 take the first three letters of the disappeared go4/6 and end with the Nar ending. The other one starts the same but ends with a word of doubt - as in Rudyard Kipling's poem

10:56 am

mattygroves

Thanks Vic for those two 8s. 2 two go (2 eights, that is - I have 122 words left in total)

10:56 am

Haz1558

It can then be pluralised to become go6/33

10:57 am

Vicuna

I don't have the other two either, mattygroves.

10:57 am

stidmama

go matty go!

10:57 am

stidmama

The gu 7 pluralizes for another 8

10:57 am

Atalante

so where's a pic of Spangle looking sleek and beautiful, Haz?? :)

10:58 am

Haz1558

I had it up earlier - I shall change, just for you!

10:58 am

mattygroves

I have that one, Stid - that's your fish, yes?

10:58 am

Atalante

oh TY! I didn't see it!

10:58 am

mattygroves

Hurrah - the hairynosed dolphin is here!

10:59 am

stidmama

so what is the 8 you have that I don't Atalante?

10:59 am

Grim-Bigyen

help required -- se 7 32 , please.

10:59 am

stidmama

thanks for pointing that out, matty!

10:59 am

Haz1558

Refresh to see the fragrant canine.

10:59 am

stidmama

I don't have that yet, Grim

10:59 am

Vicuna

Oh, I even tried to get that, but started from the wrong i. Thanks, mattyg.

11:00 am

Atalante

pretty girl!!!!!!!! gosh, don't they look gorgeous when they've been trimmed and bathed!

11:00 am

Haz1558

She looks great, doesn't she? She had been casting at quite a rate, so I'm hoping this will reduce the amount of hair about the place.

11:00 am

Grim-Bigyen

thanks anyway , stid

11:01 am

Vicuna

Blast it, only my thumnails refresh, not the bigger version. Why is that?

11:01 am

Vicuna

(thumBnails)

11:01 am

stidmama

Vi -- right-click on the profile, and "reload"

11:01 am

stidmama

I only learned that last week. :-)

11:01 am

Atalante

thank you for putting that back up! she looks gorgeous :) unlike mine who has cobwebs and pine needles all over her at the moment ...

11:02 am

stidmama

I have a whiny dog at my feet. back later.

11:02 am

Vicuna

Ah, there it is! Thanks, stidmama!
Beautiful, Haz.

11:03 am

Haz1558

Thank you - anyone who admires my dog is a friend of mine!

11:03 am

Vicuna

If I admire you, will Spangle be my friend, too?

11:03 am

Haz1558

Spangle is just about anybody's friend!

11:04 am

Vicuna

:)

11:04 am

Jaime

Haz, you're such a cutie. I love your bio and your pup!

11:04 am

Atalante

thats the only problem with spaniels. they really don't make good guarddogs .......

11:04 am

Haz1558

Thank you Jaime!

11:05 am

mattygroves

Aww - is it a small springer, Haz?

11:05 am

Haz1558

She's a Welsh springer - so slightly smaller than her English counterparts.

11:05 am

Jaime

my mini schnauzer loves on everyone who comes through our door. Thieves are welcome guests if they pet his cute ears :)

11:06 am

Atalante

same with my cocker, Jaime

11:06 am

Vicuna

Oh dear. The inmates require their lunch. I'll be back later to pet the dogs and find my remaining words.

11:07 am

Haz1558

Bye Vicuna - see you later!

11:07 am

mattygroves

Jamie, are you in the States or UK? Have your dog's ears been done?

11:07 am

dspike

last do 5, 12 pls

11:08 am

dspike

5, 16 i mean

11:08 am

Jaime

I'm in the states, Illinois. And never! I got Hooch when he was 7, but thankfully his ears are still cute and floppy.

11:08 am

Haz1558

The last do5/16 puts the sometimes vowel on the end of do4/5 (puts on)

11:08 am

dspike

ty haz

11:09 am

Haz1558

You're welcome!

11:10 am

Jaime

do you have a dog, matty?

11:10 am

mattygroves

Aww - that's brill, Jamie. I don't have dogs now - but we used to (when I was growing up) have Komondor.

11:10 am

Ankhorite

Phantom: sundry. Haz, I didn't get your last clue... must not have the right do4,5 to add the sometime to!

11:11 am

Atalante

omg! I LOVE those! don't they take a lot of looking after though?

11:11 am

mattygroves

You KNOW what a Komondor is?! Wow.

Wow - people who have heard of them...and seen them, and likes them - I'm impressed!

11:13 am

Atalante

how hard is it actually to care for their coats?

11:13 am

I met one in particular NOT at a dog show -- he was working in Wisconsin. Very fierce.

whew. lot of almostses driving me crazy today

11:14 am

mattygroves

That's a whole review about the dogs, descriptions of my dogs, and pcitures.

11:15 am

mattygroves

The coats cord themselves - unless the dog is a working dog, you just separate out the cords to keep them from plate matting.

11:15 am

mattygroves

You can do that in front of the telly or whatever - so long as you don't pull from the root, it doesn't hurt.

11:15 am

hurshy

rastadoggie

11:15 am

mattygroves

Of course, if you rescue a dog, or neglect the coat, it because nearly impossible to separate, and the dog may need cutting down.

11:15 am

mattygroves

And they are...a challenge to wash.

11:16 am

Atalante

I can *imagine*! a wet walking carpet!

11:16 am

mattygroves

(Say HI to jimjams - she's come to play)

11:17 am

When my mum and dad had Ziggy, the world's greatest dog - he had no idea he was a guard dog, he thought he was a Lab or something - you would get stopped by complete strangers to admire him.

11:18 am

Jaime

this is a great description, Matty. I'm enjoying it.

11:18 am

mattygroves

My dad was known as Mr Ziggy in the neighbourhood.

11:18 am

Atalante

hi JJ!

11:18 am

Ankhorite

I have only *one* of the 8's, the sticky one. Anybody clue me on any of the others?

11:18 am

Ziggy cured JJ of a fear of dogs.

11:18 am

Atalante

I can imagine. Different dog. Looks friendly. = investigation by many!

11:19 am

mattygroves

The Pulis can come in black, brown or white, are much smaller, and their tails curl much more than the Kom.

11:19 am

hurshy

by sticky, do you mean re8? change the first vowel for another

11:19 am

hurshy

and then pl of italian gentleman

11:19 am

hurshy

i still need the other two myself.

11:19 am

mattygroves

It's quite funny though, when someone owns both a Kom and a white Puli. People do double take!

11:19 am

Ankhorite

Ah, Hurshy, txs!

11:20 am

mattygroves

Italian Gentlemen?

11:20 am

hurshy

anyone notice that one of the most terrifying super-genetically-altered people ever known to man is in today's grid??? :) :) :)

11:20 am

yes matty. it sounds like spanish but is spelt differently...

Ankhorite

I am working on that italian gentleman that sounds like spanish, and not not not getting it.

11:21 am

Atalante

shouldn't it be signore?

Yah, Atalante, I thought so too

11:22 am

hurshy

well yes, i didn't think it was spelt that way anyway. but it is a lot like italian gentlemen at any rate

11:22 am

Haz1558

Take away the plural ending for si7/36. The other si8/60 is formed by adding the sometimes vowel in place of the plural letter.

11:22 am

Atalante

huh. weird spelling

11:22 am

Ankhorite

Wow, I've not seen that spelling.

11:23 am

hurshy

ooh thanks haz

well you COULD say bow-lee, but you don't. officially, the street is pronounced "byu-lee"

11:25 am

Ankhorite

11:26 am

Haz1558

Or north-east to be exact...

11:26 am

Ankhorite

Okay, have two sticky 8's and one funny gentlemen, but missing the other two.

JJ - how are you doing?

11:26 am

hurshy

so there are 2 S8 and 2R8... what is the last 8...

11:27 am

evening everyone

12:56 pm

Haz1558

Flask - if you have the yo4/8 - take the first three letters and add the opposite of off. That gets you the yo5. Now add a vowel for yo6/30. It can be pluralised for yo7/44. And finally the yo5 can be pluralised to give you yo6/30.

12:56 pm

Vicuna

gi7/44 - root powdered up and put in herbal en6 preparations

12:56 pm

Scrabbler

cellulite

1:43 pm

hurshy

who on earth would be remotely tempted to read such an email?

1:44 pm

Vicuna

I don't know... I'd be more tempted to read that than something boring.

1:45 pm

hurshy

it probably IS boring inside.

1:45 pm

hurshy

and if your thighs are fine, you don't need to read it, and if they are not fine, it's too depressing sounding to make you want to read it.

1:45 pm

Vicuna

I"m sure it is. But the subject is sheer poetry!

1:45 pm

periwinkle

Hi are there more than two si4/6 words

mattygroves

LOL @ hurshy!

2:35 pm

Haz1558

so7/32 - build on the so4/5 that precedes them (looks like a weapon minus a letter). Add the opposite of out and then a vowel. Both words end in different vowels.

2:35 pm

abe79

not for the ti 5/14! (plus i wouldn't want to say that in front of his mama!)

2:36 pm

hurshy

i wouldn't want to BE in front of his mama, much less say or do anything there

You're welcome - are you still looking for gu words, mkl?

2:37 pm

abe79

Congrats on finishing, Hurshy

2:38 pm

mkl

Sure am. Having a lot of trouble with higher letter counts today. At least this time my puzzle won't end with a five letter word.

2:39 pm

mkl

Also, the gy 6 and 7 letter

2:40 pm

abe79

gy + flower. does anyone have the sy5?

2:40 pm

chj

hey debb

2:40 pm

Haz1558

Okay - gu7/52 and its plural gu8/70. The name of a fish (literally). The plural ends in a long period of time (a word within the grid) and sounds like something you hit people with (bl******) or a cantankerous person (curm******)

2:41 pm

ladynoire1013

Abe was that gy clue for the 6?

2:42 pm

Haz1558

sy5 is an alternative spelling for an attractive, though dangerous woman, or a noise made to attract attention.

2:42 pm

Scrabbler

TY for all of these clues Haz!

2:43 pm

abe79

thanks Haz!

2:43 pm

Haz1558

There are two gy6/30 - one has a flower added, the other adds a Frenchman's name. Think of Mr and Mrs Magritte with their dog after the war. It can be pluralised.

2:43 pm

Charm

Hello Srab, CHJ - when did you guys sneak in?

Scrabbler

I have been here for awhile--mostly searching, not much babbling

2:44 pm

Haz1558

se6 - imagine that the many married English King's name begins with s. Then add the fifth vowel. The word means Japanese 3 line poetry.

2:44 pm

ladynoire1013

Who are Mr and Mrs Magritte?

2:44 pm

Atalante
