AN Israeli rabbi has declared giraffe meat and milk to be kosher, although his pronouncement is unlikely to have observant Jews clamouring to consume the exotic products, it was reported today.
1:21 am
Douglas
"The giraffe has all the signs of a ritually pure animal, and the milk forms curds, which strengthened that view," the mass-circulation Yediot Aharonot daily quoted Rabbi Shlomo Mahfoud as saying.
1:21 am
Douglas
The rabbi based his ruling on a recent finding by researchers from Bar Ilan University who took a milk sample while treating a giraffe at Ramat Gan safari park near Tel Aviv.
1:21 am
herinfernallady
Why the heck are we eating Giraffe now?
1:22 am
Just1Mar
lolol doug....think I'll take a pass at that tho.....
1:22 am
Douglas
They found that the milk forms curds as required under Jewish religious law, a finding confirmed by another research institute, the daily said.
1:22 am
loredana
god help the poor Giraffes!!!
1:22 am
Just1Mar
mmmmm soup aroma starting to waft downstairs......better take a look
1:23 am
jillibus
mmmm, mar!
1:23 am
Douglas
Yigal Horowitz, chief veterinary surgeon at the safari park, is not overly worried by the development.
"This doesn't mean that tomorrow we are going to drink giraffe milk or eat soup made from giraffe necks," the paper reported him as saying.
"After all, this is an animal in danger of extinction."
1:23 am
jillibus
hear hear lore!
1:23 am
loredana
wonder why i tried to get gonad out of the grid lol
1:24 am
jillibus
phantom -- puke
1:25 am
loredana
animals in danger are not safe from man even if extinction is inevitable
1:25 am
Douglas
What started this conversation was Just talking about her in-your-face non-kosher, but unquestionably yummy bacon-wrapped chicken tournados
1:25 am
Atalante
why do curds make a pure animal?
1:25 am
jillibus
night dart
1:26 am
herinfernallady
Hey
1:26 am
Hugabugs
nite dart
1:26 am
Douglas
I wondered about that myself, as the giraffe passes the standard kosherness test of both having a cloven hoof and chewing the cud...
1:26 am
Hugabugs
well, 30 left... I think I'll continue tomorrow... g'nite all
1:26 am
jillibus
hi herin :)
1:26 am
loredana
goodnight huga hugs for you great to see you
1:27 am
herinfernallady
How goes it? I have heard of Zebra stew before but not Giraffe
1:27 am
loredana

1:27 am
Hugabugs
thanks lore... always a pleasure seeing you too
1:27 am
herinfernallady
Wonders what i just walked into
1:27 am
Douglas
I'm just thinking that if I think about something entirely different, I'll see some words when I look at the grid again...
1:27 am
loredana
same to you take care and look after yourself okay
1:28 am
herinfernallady
Night Hugs
1:28 am
jillibus
I thought cloven hooves were a nono or have I got it backwards?
1:28 am
Douglas
Giraffe meat is also considered ritually pure because the animal has a cloven hoof and chews the cud.
"Indeed, the giraffe is kosher for eating," said Rabbi Mahfoud, who was present when the researchers made their finding.
1:28 am
loredana
Herin where you been are you still going to the gym ?
1:29 am
herinfernallady
yes i ahve Lore
1:30 am

1:30 am
loredana

1:32 am
Just1Mar

1:33 am
herinfernallady

1:33 am
Douglas
herin, I'm going on and on about the recently announced kosherness of giraffes to try and reboot my brain...
1:33 am
Atalante
okapi tastes like giraffe
1:33 am
herinfernallady
lol
1:33 am
Just1Mar
well if they are good friends, herin, talk to them about it...if you feel you can't, then how good of friends are they?
1:34 am
Douglas
And you know this because...ata?!?
1:34 am
loredana
Distance and contemplation a little meditation and your b/f being home and your cat on your lap to pat now they will fix the problem if not take a trip to Warburton and do a workshop at Scot Alexanders
1:35 am
Just1Mar
good question doug lol
1:35 am
herinfernallady

1:35 am
MonkeyGames
Hi again. Probably going to drop out again w/o warning.
1:35 am
herinfernallady
Lore my cat is not a lap cat
1:35 am
herinfernallady
HI Monkey
1:35 am
Atalante
loool because ... one of our old professors at uni was the son of the last british governor of kenya. so he grew up in kenya, and grew up eating all sorts of hunted animals. so one day someone asked him what okapi tastes like and he rather amusingly answered "like giraffe"
1:35 am
MonkeyGames
Hello!
1:36 am
Just1Mar
have you phoned them to make sure they are ok?
1:36 am
loredana
most informative Ata thankyou
1:36 am
loredana
Herin you can pick that phone up as well you know
1:36 am
Douglas
I'll remember that for the next time someone asks me what okapi tastes like...
1:37 am
herinfernallady
Just: Yes to one her head is too far up her own butt and the other owes me an apology. I ring both all the time
1:37 am
herinfernallady
Ps. Talking about eating Giraffe is making me think i am in a Monty Python sketch
1:37 am
Just1Mar
must remember the word okapi....must remember the word okapi lol
1:38 am
Just1Mar
well then herin.....sounds to me like they are just "fairweather" friends :(
1:38 am
loredana
Herin you are in a right state so have you told them this, if so they would be waiting for your apology... anyways...... Hugs for Herin
1:38 am
herinfernallady

lore -- Swift wrote this -- A Modest Proposal: For Preventing the Children of Poor People in Ireland from Being a Burden to Their Parents or Country, and for Making Them Beneficial to the Publick, commonly referred to as A Modest Proposal, is a satirical pamphlet written and published by Jonathan Swift in 1729. Swift suggests in his essay that the Irish might ease their economic troubles by selling children born into poverty as food for rich gentlemen and ladies. The modern phrase "a modest proposal" derives from the work.

4:38 am
elder
BB that sounds rather scientific.
4:38 am
FMitch
Oh yes, you have been getting the brunt of it elder.
4:39 am
BabbleRabble
I wonder how much the sky weighs
4:39 am
elder
FMitch, in more ways than one LOL
4:39 am
BabbleRabble
I have been told a pound of sky weighs a pound
4:40 am
elder
BR far too much .. don't you go and disturb the sky... i want to see the sun....
4:40 am
pinkhatlil
Hello Babb

4:41 am
BabbleRabble
Hello, pink
4:41 am
FMitch
BabbleR it's weight is in inverse proprtion to the number of clouds found over a given point for a period of time.
4:41 am
elder
Does that include the weight of rain clouds or is that on a clear cloudless day...?
4:41 am
louuol2004
never mind...
4:41 am
BabbleRabble
depends on the definition of sky
4:41 am
FMitch
LOL elder, our brains are on the same track - now there's a scary thought!!
4:42 am
elder
FMitch !! you are so.... a boffin :)
4:42 am
FMitch
at least you didn't call me a nerd :)
4:43 am
BabbleRabble
my definition of sky includes everything one may reasonably expect to encounter
4:43 am
elder
Yes it is scary FMitch, given the state of my brain these days..:)
4:43 am
BabbleRabble
just remember nerd spelled backwards is dren
4:43 am
LoriP
I don't care what any of you say, there are not 22 a words in this grid.

4:50 am
elder
BR , Craft of life! not for me, my sewing skills are much to be desired....
4:50 am
FMitch
you could always use glue or sellotape or string.
4:51 am
elder
I am past the Blue Peter Mode.. had too many years of that.. :)
4:51 am
BabbleRabble
the craft of life is a macrocosm fostering the skill to make choices that lead to growth and inner peace
4:52 am
elder
BR, have you swallowed educational books during the night ??
4:52 am
FMitch
and through adversity you find out how deep your inner strenght really is
4:53 am
BabbleRabble
no, but the vapors were terrible
4:53 am
pinkhatlil
this situation will be over in, say, november/december and the end result can be mind blowing devastation or overwhelming joy. i hate being in limbo elder, its too much sometimes
4:53 am
elder
FMitch yes, and sometimes its on the floor !! ... and then you pick oneself up..
4:55 am
FMitch
There are times that the 'gibbering heap on the floor' is ot an option and then you just dig deeper and find you can still do 'it' whatever that 'it's is.
4:55 am
elder
yes Pink, it is , but November/December will pass and you, with you little one will be here..
4:55 am
FMitch
Anyhoooo, time for coffee and a peruse of the tiles.
4:55 am
elder
FMitch .. concur..

7:58 am
KristineNas
it's fixable with time. if you'e ever seen anyone being intubated <spell check> , they tilt your head all the way back , and I guess they went took far. YES Gail at regional i dont remember what his name was
7:59 am
Gail
Sounds like they had trouble getting it in. There is one there that I don't trust too much.
7:59 am
herinfernallady
Good lordee. I thought that they were trained not to try and make you a flip top head
8:00 am
Gail
You know RRMC has three lawsuits going right now. I have started using Dartmouth more and more.
8:00 am
KristineNas
and then to top all of that off , we had quite a scare with Nikoloas ,, his newborn screening came back , and he is a carrier for cystic fibrosis. So I had to take him up to Burlington , the big hospital in vermont and have him tested to see if he actually has it , but thank god a housand times he is only a carrier
8:00 am
herinfernallady
OH Kristine epps.
8:01 am
KristineNas
regional is under a lot of heat right now gail , it's unbelievable

Kristine, I just came back to the grid and saw your chat. You should be very careful what you put in the log. By clicking on your icon, I now know where you live and your full name. There are people out there, as you know, that are addicted to drugs and will do whatever to get them.
8:03 am
KristineNas

as opposed to a snowy winter day when you stay in and light a fire, and read,this is the kind of summer day when you stay in, crank up the air, and read. Instead of chili or stew, you have crab legs and a green salad.

about how can I possibly be hungry after eating a chocolate brownie and huge chicken salad wrap?
9:09 am
Haz1558
Good try. www.morewords.com. I'm the worldwide spokesman.
9:09 am
Haz1558
Well, you can't possibly be hungry - you just want to eat more food.
9:10 am
Atalante
I *am* hungry, my tummy is rumbling!
9:10 am
Haz1558
No, that's called digestion.
9:10 am
LadyNatts
or flatulence
9:10 am
Anniebrook
Ata..wait 20 minutes...you will not be hungry
9:10 am

my tummy always rumbles and gurgles after I eat.

Haz1558
And have you cleaned your teeth, Ata?
9:12 am
Atalante
no, my toothbrush is recharging!
9:12 am
Haz1558
We could set up an anti-eating advice line.
9:13 am
Haz1558
IN the meantime, you could drink 3 glasses of water.
9:13 am
LadyNatts
I'd be good at that; I don't eat very often.
9:13 am
Haz1558
That'll REALLY give your tummy something to rumble with.

Well, grocery bills being what they are... My daughters are lazy and don't like to cook; easy-cook items are pricey.
9:17 am

Glad to hear she's improving, Ata.

what I found disturbing yesterday was that sily's cat food cost more than our food
9:19 am
Haz1558
How much cat food did you buy?
9:19 am
Atalante
a lot LOL. a 5kg bag of Hills prescription diet dry food and a month's supply of pouches. but STILL!
9:20 am
Haz1558
Ah well! Spangle eats Hill's food as well.
9:21 am
Atalante
oh, but not the normal Hills for our Silverclaw. It must be the REALLY expensive presciption stuff. gah
9:21 am
LadyNatts
whatever happened to the olden days when pets got table scraps and didn't have "special" food?
9:21 am
Haz1558
Vets love people like you.
9:21 am
Haz1558
In the olden days you didn't have people prepared to spend money on their pets!
9:22 am
Atalante
unfortunately, its the only food we've ever found that she doesn't throw up on a monotonously regular basis
9:22 am
LadyNatts
true, that
9:22 am
Haz1558
So, it's not just a case of turning her nose up at food. She hurls?
9:23 am
LadyNatts
But still... I remember our farm dogs living to ripe old ages, raised on table scraps and "chop" (grains).
9:23 am
Atalante
nope, she'll eat *anything*. just throw it back up at about a 95% rate
9:23 am
sprite
farm dogs usually have lots of chances to add to their diet
9:23 am
Atalante
Hobbit does live on about 50% dog food and 50% scraps
9:24 am
pinkhatlil
hello ladyn, and sprite!
9:24 am
Haz1558
I know. But people are prepared to pay money to keep their animals as healthy as possible for as long as possible. So there are all sorts of diets for all kinds of problems.
9:24 am
LadyNatts
hiya pinkhatlil!
9:24 am
Atalante
the variety of prescription diets you can get is staggering! Royal Canin even has a food type especially for cocker spaniels now!!
9:25 am
sprite
lol, that is ridiculous
9:25 am
Haz1558
Goodness. What problem are they trying to address?
9:25 am
sprite
sin bin for you, btw, Ata
9:26 am
Atalante
apparently cockers have a tendency to put on weight easily, so it addresses that. Its cheaper to just make the little buggers run more
9:26 am
Gail
My cocker had terrible skin problems, so diet affected her that way.
9:26 am
Haz1558
A treadmill instead?
9:27 am

the 13kg pack is £43
9:27 am

I can understand special food for skin diseases and even a little for overweight do4. But not for a particular breed, lol.

I can if a particular breed needs a particular diet for health reasons. But apart from that ...

I should put the rest of my shopping away, shouldn't I? It cost me enough so I shouldn't just abandon it on the kitchen floor.

9:30 am

9:31 am

I don't see all the letters in the grid and the stats sections look really strange. I guess I'll leave it and try again later on.
9:31 am

Okay. I'll do my duty. I was good and put the freezer stuff away first, but there's still a couple of bags to go.

yep, you can get tea tree preps from pet stores, or make your own, there are plenty of web pages showing the correct dilutions of a vial of essential oil
9:47 am

I love the smell of tea tree!
9:47 am

I guess you could add some eucalpytus in to disguise the smell
9:47 am
LadyNatts
geez, have never seen so many A-words in a grid before.
9:48 am

they say the smell of tea tree oil is like the taste of fresh coriander... either you love it or you hate it.

It's never accepted, Madi,because it has a capital letter.
11:51 am

Madi...change the last vowel
11:52 am
Haz1558
You're excused, cyber - it's particularly twisty in the grid.
11:52 am
Haz1558

Deeha
Lol madi thats what I was working on, cant believe it isnt in the dictionary!! Thanks Haz byeeee
12:03 pm
Haz1558
Madi - you're still right. It's there because it's an acronym, it's not a plural for sa4/5.
12:04 pm
Haz1558
al6 - put a vowel into al5 to make a robot ending
12:05 pm
Haz1558

Atalante
I'm not dramatic!

Haz1558
Okay. Medical doctors - so dramatic!
12:09 pm

12:09 pm

thankfully no. I was joking with a friend that I would be the only artist at Dragon*con to not have any pictures of big-breasted women in chainmail bikinis (which all fantasy artists seem to exist on). So I decided to draw a tongue-in-cheek one
12:12 pm
Haz1558
It's twisty, kje.
12:13 pm
kje
that it is Haz
12:13 pm
Haz1558
I'm not quite sure what to say now....
12:13 pm
bleugirl2
a clue for pa 8?
12:14 pm
Haz1558
pa8 - descriptive of pa7/40. Shortened Irish saint for three, then an American soldier sandwiched between two vowels.
12:14 pm
kje
ata - that is a beautiful dog
12:14 pm
Haz1558
The American solldier reference is to the ** Joe.
12:15 pm
Atalante
ty! not mine however, a friend's new puppy :)
12:15 pm
Haz1558
The pa8 ends with the infamous Mr Gore.
12:15 pm

great clue, haz
12:15 pm

too cute! I want a dog!
12:15 pm
Haz1558
Ata and I are going to stage a rescue. That pup needs us. We'll share her.
12:16 pm
Haz1558
Thanks, smaller, hope it's not too complicated.
12:16 pm
Atalante
she really does. can't you see the need in her little brown eyes?
12:16 pm

12:16 pm
Haz1558
I can hear her saying 'Please, come and get me. I need you.'
12:16 pm

12:16 pm
Haz1558
Great, bleu!
12:17 pm

those are the best kind of clues
12:17 pm
Haz1558
Great, smaller!
12:17 pm
kje
share? do I get to go there or does it get to come here? : )
12:17 pm
Atalante
hmmmmm. I think you'd have to come here, or NI. Unless Haz could freight her across
12:17 pm
Haz1558
We have to set up a questionnaire first, kje, to determine if you would be a fit foster-pup-parent.
12:18 pm
Atalante
yes, true
12:18 pm
Haz1558
Plus, you'd have to offer a hefty bribe.
12:18 pm
Atalante
the main question being would you give her back?
12:19 pm
Haz1558
She's hesitating, Ata.
12:19 pm
kje
that may be debatable - she looks too cute to give back. There is a high risk I would abduct her
12:19 pm
Haz1558
She's struggling with her conscience.
12:19 pm
Haz1558
See, we wouldn't be abducting her. We would be taking her into protective custody.
12:20 pm
Haz1558
Bye Madi.
12:20 pm
Atalante
yes. to make sure she's loved and petted. because obviously sheisn't right now
12:20 pm
Haz1558
No - you can see it - was ever a pup so neglected?
12:20 pm
kje
really? her owner isn't kind? that is very sad
12:20 pm
bleugirl2
ni 5s?
12:21 pm
Atalante
lol, no, unfortunately, Meg is going to have the best life a pup could ever want
12:21 pm
Haz1558
ni5 - the baby louse plus a passport/drivers licence
12:21 pm
kje
the toys around her are what?... a red herring?
12:21 pm
Haz1558
ni5/10 - the baby louse and the opposite of on.
12:21 pm
Atalante
her owners live on a huge estate where she can wander free. they have horses to play with and lots of other dogs. she'll go out each day with her daddy who is the estate's gamekeeper. awful life.
12:22 pm
Haz1558
BUT - does she have a resident vet?
12:22 pm

is't the opp of on off?

I want a dog's life
12:22 pm
Haz1558
I'm stupid. I need a shift change. I should have said the opposite of off.
12:22 pm
Atalante
no! but she *does* have a very good vet. I know him well.
12:23 pm
Haz1558
Oh well. Reluctantly I'll have to call off the pup rescue plan.

Well, not a home exactly. The Simon Community run a kind of hostel (since closed) for homeless men. They had their own rooms.
12:27 pm

12:27 pm

12:27 pm
Atalante
vowels, vowels, vowels
12:27 pm
kje
another homeless person did it?
12:27 pm
Haz1558
pa5/12 - shortened form of British Christmas entertainment. It rhymes with the Spanish saint
12:28 pm
Haz1558
Yes, kje. I don't know all the details but he bludgeoned the man to death with his television. Pretty horrific.
12:28 pm
bleugirl2

Normal salt works fine, but if you get coarse sea salt it makes bigger sprinkles.

That OK but if you use something like Malver or sea salt you get great effects from the individual bits of salt

What a gathering of babble ladies.
1:16 pm
Vicuna
Just wanted you to feel the enthusiasm, Haz.
1:16 pm
Haz1558
Oh I did, Vicuna. It was invigorating.
1:16 pm
Haz1558
I'll need to scroll back now to see what I've missed.
1:16 pm
Vicuna
Excellent, excellent.
1:17 pm
Vicuna
Mostly we just had thing thieves and salt.
1:17 pm
Haz1558
Thong thieves?
1:17 pm
Vicuna
*thong thieves, that is
1:17 pm
72 Temple Owl
htank heavens you are here. the quality of the chog has gone up instantly. course, what with thong theives and the lot, it had nowhere else to go...
1:17 pm
Vicuna
Though thongs are things.
1:18 pm
Haz1558
Goodness, if you're depending on me to raise the to4/4, thongs must be bad.
1:18 pm
Vicuna
Thongs are going to the dogs around here, as it were.
1:18 pm
Haz1558
Don't mock. We once had a dog that made a habit of eating his mistress's underwear items...
1:19 pm
Haz1558
They kept having to bring it in to have it be made sick. Strange thing was,the lady never wanted the said items back again.
1:19 pm

I should add - a dog in the surgery. Not one that belonged to us!
1:19 pm

1:20 pm
Vicuna
We used to call our cat "Porncat" because she kept pulling my lingerie out of the storage box. Of course, she did not eat it, and no thongs were involved...
1:20 pm
Haz1558
Who's on clueing duty?
1:21 pm
72 Temple Owl
why isn't "agita" a word?
1:21 pm
Vicuna
I don't have the requested words, so not I.
1:21 pm
Atalante
my friend's dog also steals underwear. he leaves them all around the house for you to find
1:21 pm
Haz1558

Vicuna
Welcome, ajv. Clearly you are ready to join in the conversation whithersoever it goeth.
1:22 pm
Haz1558
an5/10 - the first - starting with o it would make you weep while chopping. The third an5/10 is the English plural of an4/4
1:23 pm
ajv74
In our neighbourhood there's a running race. 100 kilometres...
1:23 pm
Lindrickway
thanks haz *looking*
1:24 pm
Atalante
in my neighbourhood there's a gang of Polish horse thieves. yes. our local vet have a big sign about it in their window.
1:24 pm
Vicuna
Poles who steal horses or Brits who steal Polish horses?
1:24 pm
Atalante
sudden new phantom: intaglio
1:24 pm
Atalante
looool. actually ...
1:25 pm
Vicuna
phantoms for me are pagination, sedition, and agitation.
1:25 pm
EspritdJean
how do you know the thieves are Polish?
1:25 pm
Haz1558
How do they know they are Polish? Have they been heard shouting 'giddyup' in Polish?
1:25 pm
Atalante
we have a problem with marauding Polish gangs (TM). (our local newspaper coined that phrase)
1:25 pm
Atalante
I don't know ... I'm looking into it and will report back
1:25 pm
Haz1558
Polish gangs - do they get clean away with things?
1:25 pm
Vicuna
*decides it isn't worth it to google the Polish for giddyup*
1:26 pm
Haz1558
I promise you. If you did it would have an inordinate number of consonants.
1:26 pm
Vicuna
Good one, Haz. I could use a Polish gang to do my windows for me.
1:26 pm
Haz1558
Polish gangs could be a good thing. Every town should have one.
1:27 pm
Lindrickway
thanks haz got them!
1:27 pm
Atalante
even marauding ones?
1:27 pm
Haz1558
However, if you're talking about Polish peope and salt - I visited a salt mine in Poland. it was amazing.
1:28 pm
Haz1558
You're welcome, Lin.
1:28 pm
Vicuna
Well, Google has failed me. I decided it *was* worth it after all, but I could not find a translation.
1:28 pm
Atalante
oooh was it? how was it amazing?
1:28 pm
Haz1558
The marauding ones just need to be understood. Think how frustrating it would be to speak only in consonants and to have no-one understand you.
1:28 pm
Vicuna
Oh, those salt mines look so fascinating.
1:29 pm
Atalante
ah but people do here! we have Polish aisles in our supermarkets!
1:29 pm
Haz1558
It was amazing because you were able to see how the whole place worked - also they had enterprising miners who had sculpted all sorts of things from the salt.
1:29 pm
Dachef
speak in consonants and have noone understand you?? You should try Welsh.
1:29 pm
Vicuna
Dachef, haven't seen you in ages!
1:29 pm
Haz1558
What about Welsh gangs - do they mauraud?
1:30 pm
Dachef
I went skiing in poland in January - lovely counrtry, but the only thing I learned to say was "the who you yeh bunny", which is apparently a very bad swear word!!
1:30 pm
Vicuna
Rumor has it that Taffy was a welshman and Taffy was a thief. Though I've never believed it.
1:30 pm
Dachef
Welsh gangs only maraud in the vicinity of a pub.
1:30 pm
Haz1558
Back me up, Dachef. Have you ever seen a language like Polish?
1:30 pm
Atalante
or Cardiff Arms Park, or whatever it is nowadays
1:30 pm
Haz1558
Apart from the honourable exception of Welsh, that is.
1:31 pm
Haz1558
Please. The Millennium Stadium, Atalante. The Pride Of Cardiff.
1:31 pm
Atalante
Albanian sounds like it should be interesting
1:31 pm
Dachef
Polish is definitely impossible. They have about 52 vowels, and each of those has a different pronounciation depending on the context.
1:32 pm
Haz1558
We gave up trying to make any sense of it. Thank goodness so many of them speak good English.
1:32 pm
Vicuna
Sounds like English, with too many vowel pronunciation variations.
1:33 pm
Dachef
yeah, we got by by pointing at different kinds of beers!!!
1:33 pm
Haz1558
The universal language!
1:34 pm
Haz1558
I see FMitch is in semi-lurk mode. I wonder what TV she is watching?
1:34 pm
Dachef
Dr Who is on.
1:35 pm
Haz1558
Ah, that makes sense.
1:35 pm
Atalante
Dr Who makes sense? Since when?
1:35 pm
Haz1558
Imagine watching Dr Who instead of chatting to you, Dachef. Some people have no sense of priorities.
1:36 pm
Dachef
bloody right.
1:36 pm
Haz1558
Fair enough, it has never made sense. I remember when it came on at first - I used to hide behind the settee, in mortal fear of the daleks.
1:36 pm
Haz1558
And that was when the thing was in black and white! Yes, I'm that old....
1:37 pm
Lindrickway
SO 8 & 9 please??
1:37 pm
Atalante
I remember being absolutely terrified by it
1:37 pm
Atalante
little moonlight pieces
1:37 pm
Vicuna
I reckon the Daleks could get through your settee without much effort, Haz.
1:37 pm
Atalante
not if the sofa was upstairs!!
1:37 pm
Vicuna
Hence the need for the good Doctor to save us all.
1:38 pm
Haz1558
Lindrick - it's a smaller version of the so6. Run together a male offspring and a singular Miss Turner
1:38 pm
Dachef
ah no. Now they can fly.
1:38 pm
inge
Lindy, those so wordds ae musical pieces,
1:38 pm
Haz1558
Then make it plural for so9
1:38 pm
Atalante
no! sacrilege!
1:38 pm
Haz1558
Seriously? Daleks can fly? Thank goodness I didn't know that.
1:38 pm
Lindrickway
thanks haz & inge *looking*
1:38 pm
Atalante
*how* do they fly?
1:39 pm
Haz1558
With wings, silly.
1:39 pm
Vicuna
They must have jetpacks.
1:39 pm
Atalante
so they evolved magic? that's *clever*
1:39 pm
Dachef
also, they couldnt really be masters of the universe if they get foiled every time some bugger runs upstairs!
1:39 pm
inge
I better take a nap, I keep dozing off here. Nice seeing you all babbling for a while
1:39 pm
Vicuna
Well, three theories. All plausible.
1:40 pm
ajv74
Hello, friends! Giddyup is in Polish "dalej" or "woa". Googled them...
1:40 pm
Haz1558
Bye inge, have a good nap.
1:40 pm
Atalante
but but but that was the only safety from them for small kids!
1:40 pm
Vicuna
If "woa" means "giddyup," I fear there will be some seriously confused stolen British horses.
1:40 pm
Haz1558
ajv, you're our sort of woman. Now Ata will know, if she hears those marauders saying 'dalej' that they are baddies.
1:40 pm
Vicuna
I can see much hilarity ensuing.
1:41 pm
Atalante
it doesn't? does it?
1:41 pm
Atalante
oh my. LMAO
1:41 pm
72 Temple Owl
i leave for 15 minuntes and i cannot understnad what you lot are talking about :/
1:41 pm
Dachef
now they'd have a group of 14 yr old hoodies v-signing them from the top of the stairs and laughing.
1:41 pm

That's cause we're speaking Polish, TO.

"dalej" is used in jumping and "woa" in driving.

Yes they do

Yeah, I don't believe they really can after all. I call their bluff!
1:45 pm
Dachef
phantom of the day is sanitation. Also happens to be a phantom in my flats bathroom at the moment.
1:45 pm

1:47 pm
FMitch
Dachef do you need a plumber or a cleaner?
1:47 pm
72 Temple Owl
a combo we don't see too often...
1:47 pm
Atalante
but not a rank in the air force these days. They only have Group C******, and C****** Jack has a GC coat
1:47 pm
Dachef
its amazing how many more women babble than men. Oh well, more for me.
1:47 pm
evanonut

1:48 pm
Haz1558
I see the debate about ca7 Jack's coat being resurrected.
1:48 pm
Dachef
I met Captain Jack (John Barrowman) the other day. He was in my restaurant.
1:48 pm

either that or you're batting for the other team
1:48 pm

To the penalty box for Dachef.

Not so much of the 'Old' thank you *grin*
1:48 pm
Atalante

1:48 pm

Why is that, Dachef? Do they not like words as much or do they just lurk?
1:48 pm
Lindrickway
PA 8/55 please??
1:48 pm
Dachef
careful Nutty. I only pretend to do that so I get more action!!!
1:48 pm
FMitch
Oh dear, anyone got the smelling salts?
1:49 pm
Haz1558
Was John Barrowman as expansive in real life as he seems to be on TV?
1:49 pm
Atalante
was he as beautiful as he looks in torchwood?
1:49 pm
Atalante
did he smile and flick his hair back?
1:49 pm
Dachef
he's perfectly normal actually. Pleasant enough. Even signed a few autographs for some of the customers.
1:49 pm
Vicuna
Here's some ice water to dump over Ata, if needed.
1:49 pm
FMitch
*Look over at Haz* what are we to do with her?
1:49 pm
Haz1558
pa8/55 - first get pa7/40 - shortened saint in Ireland, then an American soldier (Joe) sandwiched between two vowels.
1:50 pm

The pa8/55 ends with dear Mr Gore.

Haz1558
Great - glad it worked for you, Lind.

Atalante
next time he comes in you must get something signed for all the babble people. ie. ME
1:51 pm

8 ... 8?! I never did get started on this one and probably won't now either.
1:52 pm
Atalante
I wouldn't, FM!
1:52 pm
Vicuna
something for all the Babble Atalantes.
1:52 pm
Dachef
i have the cctv footage if you want Ata.
1:52 pm
Haz1558
The concensus of opinion would probably be to not start now, FMitch. People have been complaining.
1:52 pm
Atalante

1:52 pm
Lindrickway
7 to go and all C's! doh
1:52 pm

can anyone clue the ca8? i am suspicious it's based on the ca7 i don't have...

Vicuna
Don't bother, FM. We will provide you with all the meaningless words your heart desires, right here in chat.
1:52 pm
Haz1558
There was nobody wearing thongs on their head at the time, I hope?
1:52 pm
FMitch
Ata please stop drooling, it is so unbecoming.
1:53 pm
Vicuna
There is no ca8, I think, chakramspice.
1:53 pm
Haz1558
There isn't a ca8.
1:53 pm

oh is THAT the thong deal LOL you are kidding!

(ANd are you a member of the Spice Girls? I don't recall one of that name, but you never know...)
1:53 pm
Dachef
David Te3nnant's been in a few times as well (they film Dr Who and Torchwood in cardiff), but he always gets a takeaway and wears a hat so people dont recognise him. Aw bless.
1:54 pm
Atalante
I don't care!
1:54 pm
chakramspice
oh, thanks haz. what's the non-so8 8?
1:54 pm
Haz1558
The thong thing was a hold-up, captured on CCTV, where the robbers wore thongs as disguise. Their wives were fresh out of stockings.
1:54 pm

Dachef
my ex-girlfriend bought me a thong once. Had it on the wrong way round for 6 hours. Still covered everything though.
1:55 pm

The other one is pa8/55. Three letters of the shortened Irish saing, a vowel, An American soldier, Mr Gore.

Yes, I like that, Dachef. Better than my multi-word hyphenations!

2:03 pm

2:04 pm
FMitch
Bit like marmite you either love me or hate me.

2:04 pm
Atalante
Ginger Garlic. Sporty Garlic. hmmm
2:04 pm
Vicuna
Of course there's another group Salt N Peppa, so maybe we don't want to confuse the issue.

Vicuna
I had a student named Lucy, and everyone always used to say to her upon meeting, "Oh, I have a friend with a dog called Lucy!" or something along those lines. SHe was quite tired of sharing her name with dogs.
2:07 pm

jillibus
Hi all briefly.

2:11 pm
Atalante
while I remain married, anyway ....
2:11 pm
Vicuna
Couldn't she just have given you a non-horrid one?
2:11 pm
jillibus

2:13 pm
Dachef

2:13 pm
Dachef
flipping massive itch?
2:13 pm
Haz1558
Gosh, Ata, we must share a brain cell. Ermintrude it MUST be.
2:13 pm
Atalante

I always rather like Ermintrude in The Magic Roundabout
2:16 pm
FMitch
but I am somewhat pained as she was a cow.
2:16 pm
Atalante
a very pretty cow though
2:16 pm
Haz1558
What's wrong with cows?
2:16 pm
Atalante
are you cowphobic?
2:16 pm
Vicuna
Nothing wrong with cows.
2:17 pm
FMitch
I ahgve small udders
2:17 pm
Vicuna
That would be boviphobic.
2:17 pm
Dachef
nothing wrong with cows. I married one.
2:17 pm
Atalante
Dachef! LMAO!
2:17 pm
Haz1558
You have small udders? No need for shame.
2:17 pm
Vicuna
Dare I ask... how many teats?
2:17 pm
Atalante

2:18 pm
Dachef

2:18 pm
Dachef
sorry, sorry.
2:18 pm
Haz1558
Don't even think it, Ata!
2:18 pm
Vicuna
No need to apologize, Dachef. If you hadn't, someone else would have.
2:18 pm
ajv74
Those Portuguese soccer players don't look bad. Not at all...
2:19 pm
FMitch
LOL Nice interevention there from ajv
2:19 pm
Haz1558
Pah. How can you talk about Portuguese footballers when Dachef is here? You'll give him a complex.
2:20 pm
Vicuna
Are we going to learn the Portuguese for "Who is that lovely small-uddered cow?"
2:20 pm
FMitch
You are presuming he doesn't already have one Haz (or several)
2:20 pm
Dachef
its ok, my complexes are already so large I'd have Frasier in tears in about 5 minutes.
2:21 pm
Haz1558
Did you know that when farmers are showing cattle, they deliberately don't milk them for ages so that their udders look huge?
2:21 pm
Atalante
Portuguese? What about Polish?
2:21 pm
Vicuna
Dachef is very complexicated.
2:21 pm
FMitch
Typical male - bragging about size. sigh
2:21 pm
Atalante
and they shave their pigs
2:21 pm
Dachef
haz - tried that with ex-girllfriends. didnt work though.
2:21 pm
Vicuna
Well, Ata, it's just I don't think cows respond to giddyup. DO they?
2:21 pm
Atalante
I don't know!
2:22 pm
Lindrickway
Well I'm gonna go and walk my pooch, cya later, have fun, bye xxx
2:22 pm
Vicuna
Farmers are a kinky lot.
2:22 pm
FMitch
Only if you say it in Bovine duh!
2:22 pm
Haz1558
Don't talk to me about farmers.
2:22 pm
FMitch
Bye Lind.
It's all the rubber Vi.
2:22 pm
Atalante
farmers must be a multi-lingual lot
2:22 pm
ajv74
But I eas once in a farm exhibition and all other animals were heads toward people, but the bulls weren't... They were put to show their "family treasures"...
2:23 pm
Haz1558
One rang the other night looking for powdered cholesterol - he meant colostrum.
2:23 pm
FMitch
Oh Haz you haven't recounted a vet tale for ages or a funeral one, any good stories?
2:23 pm
Atalante
any more Baileys wreaths?
2:23 pm
Haz1558
Goodness, I'd have to think.
2:24 pm
Haz1558
No more wreaths of any significance, though I take a regular turn about the cemetery.
2:25 pm
Haz1558
Did I ever tell you about the undertaker's wife who stood in for him on one occasion?
2:25 pm
FMitch
BRB have to refresh I am still seeing Quincy rather than Spangle
2:25 pm
Haz1558
Her husband was ill, so she went to visit the home of the deceased to make arrangements for the funeral.
2:26 pm
Haz1558
The room was very dimly lit but there were lots of people there and she went round shaking hands with all of them.
2:26 pm
Haz1558
One was the corpse, propped up in between a couple of friends.
2:27 pm
Atalante
....... *tries not to laugh madly*
2:27 pm
FMitch
Fails miserably *snort*
2:27 pm
Haz1558
She wasn't quite sure what to make of it all.
2:27 pm
Vicuna
Is that normal... to prop up the corpse like that?!?
2:27 pm
k21eyes
hi gang !
2:28 pm
Atalante
only in rural NI ...
2:28 pm
Haz1558
Absolutely not, Vicuna. It's normal in country places for the body to remain in the home but not propped up!
2:28 pm
Vicuna
Hello, k21eyes.
2:28 pm
Atalante
that was very Evelyn Waugh-esque
2:28 pm
Haz1558
One of the young vets told about his grandmothers funeral.
2:28 pm
Dachef
perhaps it was a good party and they didnt want him/her to miss it.
2:28 pm
Haz1558
It wa decreed by a committee of aunts that the coffin - phone...
2:28 pm
FMitch
oops log is going a little sticky at this end
2:29 pm
FMitch
What a time for thephone to ring!
2:29 pm
Haz1558
I'm back...
2:29 pm
Vicuna
What's a coffin-phone? lol For those paranoid people who want to make sure that if they're buried before they're really dead, they can call for help?
2:30 pm
Haz1558
The coffin had to come out through the front door, which hadn't been opened for many years.
2:30 pm
Haz1558
They practically had to knock it down.
2:30 pm
Dachef
Vic - I was just about to say the same thing! What a wonderful idea!!
2:30 pm
Haz1558
After that, the aunts also decreed that everyone coming back to the house would have to have a salad tea. The cousins were shown a prototype. Ham placed in one corner, tomatoes here etc.
2:31 pm
Vicuna
"Hello? Honey? This is your wife speaking. Turns out I'm not dead..."
2:31 pm
Atalante
Baileys everywhere else ...
2:31 pm
Haz1558
There was practically an oubreak of nervous breakdowns when the hard=boiled eggs were seen to have black rings.... social death.
2:31 pm
Dachef
"Hi honey, did you pay the electric? Awfully dark in here....."
2:32 pm
Atalante
oh NO! not black rings!
2:32 pm
Vicuna
The DISGRACE!
2:32 pm
richardkay
hey people
2:32 pm
FMitch
The black rings of ostrasisation.
2:33 pm
k21eyes
hi richard
2:33 pm
FMitch
*Hello, hello - is that room service?*
2:33 pm
Vicuna
AAaaaaaaagh! *click*
2:33 pm
Atalante
my great-aunt used to rewash and reiron any sheet that ended up with a diamond-shaped crease on
2:33 pm
FMitch
Good evening richard
2:34 pm
Vicuna
Your great aunt didn't have many hobbies, did she.
2:34 pm
Haz1558
Doesn't everyone?
2:34 pm
Atalante
she was phobic (really) about diamonds cos they meant bad luck
2:34 pm
Vicuna
Your great aunt needed Babble to keep her excess time more gainfully filled.
2:35 pm
Vicuna
Funny, I thought they were supposed to be a girl's best friend.
2:35 pm
Dachef
i bet she was rubbish at cards.
2:35 pm
Haz1558
Diamonds for bad luck? I've never heard that one.
2:35 pm
FMitch
Oh Dachef how we have missed you ;)
2:35 pm
Atalante
it only applied to ironed diamonds
2:36 pm
Atalante
for some reason!
2:36 pm
FMitch
... just when you thought the conversation couldn't get any more bizarre
2:36 pm
Vicuna
Well, I make sure never to have ironed diamonds on my sheets, I assure you.
2:36 pm
Haz1558
I must look out for ironed diamonds and see if there is truth in the rumour.
2:37 pm
ajv74
My ironing board is decorated with blue poppies.
2:37 pm
Atalante
is that because you don't iron them, vi?
2:37 pm
Haz1558
You know, plague, pestilence, that sort of thing. We won't blame FM. It'll be those ironed diamonds.
2:37 pm
Vicuna
You got it, Ata.
2:38 pm
ajv74
I never iron my diamonds.
2:38 pm
FMitch
I find the rubies get in the way frankly.
2:38 pm
Atalante
strangely enough, it was the only thing she was superstitious about
2:38 pm
Vicuna
If you iron diamonds they scratch the iron.
2:38 pm
JBV
boy, what a time to join in - the last time we had ironing boards as a theme, i was hynotized to go upstairs and iron - please I can't take that again!
2:39 pm
FMitch
LOL and Hello JBV
2:39 pm
Vicuna
JBV, you have only yourself to blame for that sort of behavior. I'm quite sure no one here is advocating that in any way!
2:39 pm
ajv74
And what would the hot steam do to my wedding ring?
2:39 pm
periwinkle
ironing and diamonds, coffin-phones/ what is going on here?
2:40 pm
FMitch
Just a normal day in Babble peri, of course!
2:40 pm
Haz1558
It's just another day in babble...
2:40 pm
Vicuna
Why does everyone seem so surprised that the conversation should be a little... eclectic?
2:40 pm
k21eyes
ajv...steam cleans diamonds very nicley!
2:40 pm
JBV
it was the voices, Vi, I had no control, it was entirely against my will
2:40 pm
FMitch
eclectic or eccentric?
2:40 pm
Haz1558
Both, hopefully.
2:40 pm
Vicuna
Just be sure you take your ring OFF your finger before ironing it, please, ajv.
2:41 pm
Vicuna
and electric
2:41 pm
k21eyes
yes...high recommend removing ring
2:41 pm
Dachef
and dont iron in the nude with a steam iron. hurts. I know> Especially if you have any dangly bits.
2:41 pm
Haz1558
It beats egocentric.
2:41 pm
ajv74
ANd why should I iron my ring...
2:42 pm
Vicuna
Cover those dangly bits with a backwards thong at the very least, Dachef.
2:42 pm
Haz1558
We spoke of dangling participles only the other night.
2:43 pm
Dachef
particles? particles? who've you been talking to Haz?
2:43 pm
Haz1558
I bet she's going to look and see if there are any diamonds on her sheets.
2:44 pm
Haz1558
No, it was definitely participles. Don't know whether past or present.
2:44 pm
Vicuna
Don't be offended, Dachef. She wasn't calling your danglers "particles."
2:45 pm
ajv74
Tomorrow we can watch Polish soccer players...
2:45 pm
FMitch
anyone seen my magnifying glass?
2:45 pm
Vicuna
Polish polo players would be even funnier.
2:45 pm
Atalante
ooo yay, maybe the marauding horse thief gangs will stop during the match
2:45 pm
Haz1558
Do you remember when the Romanians in the World cup all dyed their hair blonde?
2:46 pm
Dachef
i've hidden all the magnifying glasses. Except for the really big magnifying ones.
2:46 pm
Haz1558
It was like watching clones.
2:46 pm
Atalante
actually .... no
2:46 pm
ajv74
I have never seen polo in TV, except some short strips with Prince Charles.
2:46 pm
FMitch
ajv's stipping with Prince Charles??? *swoons*
2:47 pm
ajv74
*throws up*
2:47 pm
Kazozz
afternoon all :) 50 to go and will probably take me all afternoon lol!
2:47 pm
Vicuna
Did they arrest you, ajv, when you stripped during Prince Charle's polo match?
2:48 pm
Vicuna
And were you still wearing your ring? And was it freshly ironed?
2:48 pm
ajv74
Prince Charles is absolutely one of the non-sexiest men in the whole world.
2:48 pm
FMitch
I have seen P.C playing polo very near to where I live.
2:48 pm
k21eyes
Do you get bonus points for polo stripping?
2:48 pm
Dachef
you stripped in front of Prince Charles? And he still married that Camilla? Doesnt say much for you....
2:48 pm
ajv74
And I haven't ironed my ring. Or Prince Charles'.
2:48 pm
DR1965
You guys are making me LOL!!!
2:48 pm
FMitch
There were certainly no streakers between chukahs that I ever saw!
2:49 pm
Haz1558
Back later...
2:49 pm
ajv74
And I have never stripped. Never. Never-ever.
2:49 pm
FMitch
The thought of stripping Royalty has been too much for Haz
2:49 pm
Atalante
not even to get into the bath>
2:49 pm
Vicuna
You mean... you keep your clothes on even in the shower???
2:49 pm
Vicuna
Awww, haz. how can you leave now?
2:49 pm
JBV
you guys are a riot today - I'm laughing and watching fireworks - first time I did not have to ask for clues! thanks for the laughs, tho
2:50 pm
DR1965
Just signed on and was readingthe chog...\n
Yea JBV!
2:50 pm
FMitch
Yay congrats JBV!!
2:50 pm
ajv74
Steam cleans...
2:50 pm
Vicuna
Yay for JBV!
2:51 pm
Vicuna
So... let me get this straight... ajv never bathes, but she irons her clothes while still in them, and this leaves her freshly sanitized?
2:51 pm
FMitch
Oh my side aches
2:51 pm
k21eyes
****shaking head violently...can't shake image of Prince Chuck stripping
2:51 pm
DR1965
UGH! Bad visual picture- thanks k21
2:52 pm
Vicuna
And stripping while playing polo, at that! The better to let his particles dangle, I guess.
2:52 pm
ajv74
Think Prince Charles wearing long underwear. White. Tight.
2:52 pm
k21eyes
Steamed and pressed?
2:52 pm
Kazozz
i just lost my lunch ajv lmao
2:53 pm
FMitch
NO not tight, baggy and shapeless, infact don't think at all much less pain that way.
2:53 pm
Dachef
i thought women always found money attractive??#
2:53 pm
ajv74
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2:53 pm
Vicuna
Money is attractive. But it does nothing for the man who has it.
2:53 pm
k21eyes
Money yes...chuck no
2:54 pm
FMitch
Diamonds are even better
2:54 pm
Vicuna
Only when well-ironed.
2:54 pm
k21eyes
but not on sheets
2:54 pm
Dachef
so if Prince Charles said "would you like to come in my helicopter and live in one of my many palaces and have everything you ever wanted", you'd say "no thanks."???
2:54 pm
FMitch
oh of course ironed by Aspreys in a blue box.
2:55 pm
k21eyes
Well if he promised to stay away from me I would
2:55 pm
ajv74
Yes, I would say "no" to Prince Charles.
2:55 pm
Vicuna
For one thing, I'd doubt his ability to provide "everything I ever wanted" with mere money.
2:55 pm
periwinkle
I would say as well
2:56 pm
periwinkle

2:56 pm
Vicuna
