12:24 am

stidmama

:-D

12:24 am

nbjasmine

and hello all!

12:24 am

stidmama

a person who doesn't speak english would initially be at a disadvantage, but would eventually learn (as we all do) that some words are there... and could monkey like we do for the rest

12:25 am

SamanthaJoy

It's definitely limited by who speaks English; I hunted for it in French and couldn't find it

12:25 am

stidmama

I don't know how many countries are represented though.

12:25 am

stidmama

Dr_G has only released this as an English game, but there are words from many languages, modern and archaic

VolleymomDee

12:28 am

SamanthaJoy

Just1Mar

1:31 am

sprite

1Mar, you wouldn't believe the weather we are having. Toasting hot, then rain, then hail, thunderstorms, more rain as in downpours, etc.

1:31 am

jillibus

sprite, for hundreds of years the French in Quebec were totally dominated by the church and I guess that was their way of rebelling. Other swear words (English version) are "tabernacle" and "chalice" that I know of, and like our "darn" or "dang" instead of "damn", they change them to "taberouette" or "calinne-de-binne" and such.

1:32 am

sprite

I really think that is fascinating, jilli. Do you think we can have a swear word icon theme... or would that be too much? :)

1:32 am

Just1Mar

they say fu** a lot now jilli but I don't even think they know what it means ...sort of a fait'que

1:32 am

jillibus

Holy mackinaw, there, sprite!

1:41 am

Book Doctor Gwen

1:41 am

rururocks

I am surprised Celine didn't sue you Gwen

1:41 am

jillibus

:D

1:41 am

Book Doctor Gwen

From my files: "If you can't afford your very own Edsel, here's your chance to own a piece of automotive history that is almost as notorious. Chrysler reportedly found that its use of Celine as a celebrity spokeswoman was a sales disaster and discontinued the campaign less than a year after launch, even though the two had signed a lucrative 3-year deal."

1:41 am

jillibus

changing my icon to the tiny tennis racquet...

rururocks

3:26 am

sprite

3:27 am

3:28 am

meliae

Haz1558

Good morning Lori!

4:07 am

LoriP

G'd morning Haz. how goeth this grid?

4:07 am

Haz1558

It's pretty nice so far. No need for pouty faces as yet.

4:08 am

LoriP

Ewwwwww, r'es. Hope it's not 2, too many. ***pouty face***

4:08 am

LoriP

lolol, how'd ya' know a pouty face was coming?

4:09 am

Haz1558

Good gracious. It doesn't take much to get you a pouting does it? Think of the re words as a chance to revisit a word another time.

4:09 am

Haz1558

(taken from the Pollyanna book of babbling)

4:09 am

LoriP

re words are leftovers, stale, IMO :-)

4:10 am

Haz1558

Not the sentimental type, eh?

4:12 am

LoriP

***what a devoted group, I can hear the concentration***

4:13 am

Haz1558

Maybe they're just steadfastly ignoring the possibility of silliness.

4:13 am

LoriP

A wise decision....

4:14 am

Haz1558

They're lying low, assuming the defensive under the desk position.

4:14 am

Haz1558

I know that position well.

4:14 am

LoriP

Don't we all?

4:15 am

LoriP

Words from the bottom row are not leaping at me. More coffee perhaps...

4:15 am

Haz1558

I've found that if you keep a supply of edibles available, it can be held for a considerable time. Catheter provision helps also.

4:15 am

LoriP

Preparedness is the key.

4:16 am

Haz1558

Baden Powell may have been the forerunner to babbling under cover. 'Be prepared' and all that.

4:18 am

carleekat

morning all....

4:18 am

Morning!
*Bounce, bounce* too much fresh coffee ;)

4:18 am

hi lori..haz..long time no see

4:19 am

Haz1558

Has anybody got a rope handy? FMitch appears to need tying down.

4:19 am

G'd morning FM, good to know I'm not the only one bouncing off the walls.

Jacula

Morning all.

4:19 am

Good luck with that Haz. FM is daunting in that condition.

4:19 am

FMitch

*boing, boing, crash* Ouch

4:19 am

Haz1558

Thank you, Jacula. And good morning to you as well.

4:20 am

LoriP

G'd morning Jacula!

4:20 am

Haz1558

We may need to get the stun gun....

4:20 am

Jacula

Haz - I saw the floods in Ballymena on TV - I hope your house is okay?

4:20 am

carleekat

hi there jacs

4:20 am

FMitch

Hello fellow babblers, BIG grid *grin*

4:20 am

Haz1558

Yes thanks, Jacula. Lots of houses in low-lying areas were affected but we were fine.

4:20 am

MonkeyGames

Hi again just for a couple of minutes! Having trouble pinning down the ending for this sc skin one people mentioned earlier...

4:21 am

Haz1558

My sister in law has had a bit of a watery escapade - though not to do with the heavy rain. Her cold water storage tank leaked and she has a ruined sitting room.

4:21 am

LoriP

***down FM, down girl...*** :p

4:21 am

Haz1558

It's nice to see a big grid, FM, you're right. But if you don't sit still, you'll never get it finished.

4:22 am

Jacula

Oh dear, Haz. Poor woman!

4:22 am

FMitch

phantom: reticule
will calm down now honest.

4:22 am

carleekat

so how are things your way lori..i haven't seen you in a while

4:22 am

LoriP

Yah yah, from one fibber to another may i say, "sure you will"

4:22 am

Haz1558

Husband and I are seeing it as a wonderful opportunity to get rid of stuff. She is more sentimental and is bemoaning ruined LPs and things.

4:23 am

carleekat

that was the first "word" I saw too fm

4:23 am

Haz1558

FMitch - remove a vowel from your phantom.

4:23 am

LoriP

Same old same old carlee. Insomnia has me Babbling at ridiculously early hours, so I've missed the regular morning shift.

4:24 am

LoriP

heh, thanks Haz for the free word!

4:24 am

carleekat

insomnia bad..babble good ;o)

4:24 am

FMitch

Doh thanks, already had that word.

4:24 am

carleekat

yeap..thanks haz..am a little slow..is only 5:30 am here...

4:24 am

Haz1558

Lori - start taking anti-malarial tablets - you'll find your dreams are so entertaining you'll not want to waken up.

4:25 am

LoriP

***adds that to drug wish list***

4:25 am

Haz1558

I'm sure Scrabbler will get you a prescription, no problem.

4:26 am

carleekat

hmmm...enable does not like blog....BIG surprise there

4:27 am

Haz1558

It's probably thinking 'Blogs? They'll never catch on'

4:27 am

FMitch

well seeing as it doesn like internet blog obviously has not been invented in enable wolrd yet :(

4:27 am

carleekat

more then likely

4:27 am

Haz1558

That was my reaction to the introduction in Britain of the Lottery. 'Give it a couple of weeks'.

4:28 am

FMitch

Ha! you mean there was something you weren't right about?

4:28 am

Haz1558

Apparently so.

4:28 am

Haz1558

I try to keep it quiet though.

4:28 am

FMitch

Haz not Ha, one rather more emphatic than I meant

4:29 am

LoriP

Haz is always modest. ;p

4:29 am

Haz1558

Oh, I'd have gone with the 'Ha!' as well.

4:30 am

FMitch

I haven't got back to full insult mode yest as you are only just back from hols :)

Haz1558

I'm edging towards that smugness factor that Ata wears so well.

4:30 am

FMitch

*little bounce* just found an 8

4:31 am

carleekat

oh..wow...there is a "u" in the grid..who knew

4:31 am

Haz1558

(Keeping Jac's rope handy just in case)

4:31 am

LoriP

Yea for FM! Now Haz, 'yer good, but hardly in a league with ATA Hari. She has it to a science.

4:31 am

Haz1558

Well, this is true. She's younger than me as well, so there's built in smug right from the start.

4:32 am

carleekat

wow...2 of them even

4:32 am

Haz1558

AND she knows science things.

4:32 am

Jacula

I see the God of Love has escaped FM's clutches!

4:32 am

Haz1558

It was a narrow escape.

4:33 am

mrpresident

and the st9 thinks it is hard to find.

4:33 am

Haz1558

He made a run for it while she was doing that bouncing.

4:34 am

carleekat

hi there mr prez

4:34 am

Haz1558

Good evening mrpresident.

4:34 am

FMitch

I say, I've just received an email from New Zealand, thas a first, re a client website I am working on, BRB

4:34 am

LoriP

G'd morning mrP

4:34 am

Jacula

Hello MrP.

4:35 am

mrpresident

hi carlee, haz, fm, lori and jac :)

4:35 am

Haz1558

FMitch, ask them if they've seen a short blonde girl with an NI accent wandering about.

4:36 am

Haz1558

Thanks for the st9, mrp.

4:37 am

mrpresident

np haz

4:38 am

FMitch

Haz how long is she staying out there?

4:38 am

FMitch

Hi MrP

4:39 am

Haz1558

She was out for three months, due to come home this weekend and not looking forward to the journey.

4:40 am

FMitch

G4, that time has flown by

4:40 am

mrpresident

I wonder if chocolate would help me digest my dinner??

4:40 am

carleekat

chocolate ALWAYS helps

4:40 am

Haz1558

I know.

4:43 am

FMitch

Blechhh hit the wall at 100, I blame all the bouncing.

4:43 am

carleekat

oh wow..i found an 8...either mr sand man helping..or just dumb luck..am leaning to dumb luck myself

4:43 am

FMitch

100 left that is ;)

4:43 am

Jacula

Phantom - 'biscuits'

4:44 am

FMitch

whats the 1st 2 letters carlee?

4:44 am

Haz1558

That's a relief. If you'd stalled at 100 we'd have had to have a judicial enquiry.

4:44 am

carleekat

so fm

4:44 am

FMitch

ooo I don't have that one, I've got the cl8

4:46 am

carleekat

gotta run for a bit

4:46 am

FMitch

toodles carlee

4:48 am

mrpresident

some of these words are as uncommon as pulling one's peepee out at the dinner table and checking it for scabs... but I digress... time for tea me thinks

4:49 am

Jacula

*Completely gone off the idea of breakfast now. Can't think why!*

4:49 am

Haz1558

See you later, mrp.

4:50 am

Haz1558

Is that an Australian custom, do you think?

4:50 am

FMitch

Bad me, forgot about breakfast this morning but funnily enough not hungry now either.

4:50 am

Jacula

Haz - Hopefully not.

4:51 am

Haz1558

It would make for short dinners.

4:52 am

Haz1558

Just reread the statement - it's uncommon. We can head to the Antipodes with safety.

4:52 am

Jacula

I've got this vision of Les Patterson now. *grins*

4:52 am

Haz1558

Shuddering at the thought.

4:53 am

Haz1558

I've just this minute seen the needlecase. I'm out of practice (in more ways than one)

4:54 am

Jacula

Thanks Haz. Just spotted that and plural.

4:55 am

Haz1558

It's so strange - you can look at the grid for ages and suddenly - there they are.

4:55 am

FMitch

I started dong some embrioderyagain over the last 2 weeks, 1st time in a couple of years.

4:55 am

Haz1558

Good for you!

4:55 am

Haz1558

Are you enjoying it? Do you feel rusty or does it all come back easily?

4:56 am

Jacula

FM - Last time I did a major work of embroidery was when Bjorn Borg was playing at Wimbledon in the late 70s.

4:56 am

Jacula

I do have a pair of jeans to turn up and a skirt to take in today. Daighter's off to the Reading Festival tomorrow and needs them to take with her.

4:56 am

FMitch

Loving it, finishing off a couple of pics I started ages ago and then I will start one of my own creations.
lol Jacs

4:57 am

Haz1558

(Sigh of contentment at the memory of Borg at Wimbledon). Jacula - I saw him in the flesh in Belfast when he played in the Legends Tour. He's still handsome. He gave me a special smile.

4:57 am

Haz1558

The sort of wistful smile that said 'If only.... but it was not to be.....'

4:57 am

Jacula

LOL, Haz. Sure.

4:58 am

Haz1558

My George Clooney lapel badge may have had something to do with it.

4:58 am

FMitch

HAve a look at my icon for the one I am working on now.

4:59 am

Haz1558

Can somebody get the smelling salts? I'm feeling faint at the thought of the effort and skill involved.

5:00 am

Jacula

What... for the sewing Haz?

5:00 am

Haz1558

What size is it? Inches, please, none of your foreign centimetres.

5:00 am

FMitch

Where's cait when you need her first aid bag?

5:00 am

FMitch

Umm about 11" across

5:00 am

Jacula

Postlady's just been, bringing my daughter's Reading tickets - PHEW! and a postcard from Haz.

5:00 am

Haz1558

God lbess the British postmen.

5:01 am

Haz1558

That's a lot of sewing, Fmitch.

5:01 am

Jacula

It's a postwoman, Haz. I'm going to read your card now.

5:01 am

Haz1558

bless

5:01 am

Haz1558

Mine's a postwoman as well. Is there a conspiracy?

5:03 am

Jacula

LOL, maybe. The card's postmarked Belfast, I see. I'd probably still be waiting for it in 6 months if you'd sent it from Africa.

5:03 am

FMitch

lol Haz in'st just a pretty face!

5:03 am

Jacula

Thanks Haz. I'll put it on my wall.

5:03 am

LoriP

Holy cow. First sweep was more like a light dusting. I am crushed. ***pouty face***

5:03 am

Jacula

(The postcard that it, not Haz's face.)

5:03 am

Haz1558

Exactly. The place didn't give me any confidence in the postal system so I bought the cards there and posted them here. It's a cheat, I know.

5:04 am

FMitch

Awe Lori, put your bottom lip away.

5:04 am

Haz1558

There's that pouty face again, Lori. Some day the wind will change and you'll be stuck like that.

5:04 am

Haz1558

It happened to Posh Spice and it could happen to you!

5:04 am

FMitch

LOL

5:05 am

LoriP

There's a scary thought.....

5:05 am

FMitch

Just to give advanced warning I am poofing at 11.15.

5:05 am

Haz1558

She wants to have another baby. And if she can't she'll adopt. Not that it's fashionable or anything.

5:05 am

Jacula

That comment took me back to childhood, Haz. LOL

5:06 am

Haz1558

Did your mother threaten you with that as well? I got threats of working in the mill if I ever claimed that I didn't want to go to school. Or pictures of mother in jail.

5:07 am

FMitch

My Mum used to threaten me saying that if I didn't study I would end up working at Woolworths

5:07 am

Haz1558

Note taken of imminent poofing from FMItch. Sympathise your watches everyone.

5:07 am

LoriP

Good lord. Bottom i was that hideous bird. DENSA

5:07 am

Haz1558

Working at Woolworths would have been okay if you'd be able to get near the Pick and Mix.

5:08 am

Jacula

Yes. Also got told 'the school board man' would 'get me'. The cha[ in question was tall and thin, and wore a long, dark mac. We kids were terrified when we spotted him. I'm thinking now that it was probably the man to read the gas meter in reality. *blushes*

5:08 am

LoriP

My version is telling the kids "do you want fries with that?" if tehy don't study hard.

5:08 am

Haz1558

(Smug - having recently been to East Africa in the company of twitchers, I got it....)

5:09 am

LoriP

lol Jac. Mom's are a creative lot, aren't they?

5:09 am

FMitch

I say, Haz is gunning for Atas smug medal

5:09 am

Haz1558

I don't think I ever had to use any threats with my girls. What a shame - I could have let the imagination run riot.

5:09 am

FMitch

lol Lori

5:09 am

Jacula

Yes, Lori, but it's embarrasing when you only cotton on at the age of 51!

5:09 am

LoriP

Our sarcasm has prob'ally scarred the spawnlings irreparably.

5:10 am

FMitch

My Mum was a teacher which was really unfair, I couldn't get away with anything.

5:10 am

Haz1558

A teacher at your own school?

5:10 am

Jacula

You had a very tough childhood then FM!

5:10 am

FMitch

No thank goodness, that would have been TOO much

5:10 am

LoriP

eek, I empathise FM. My sister is 18 years older, and actually taught me for a few weeks in grade 5 (substitute) it was mortifying.

5:11 am

mrpresident

found the connoisseur icecream ...

5:11 am

MonkeyGames

Well, I'm over halfway through. Good time to get on with stuff like measuring for a new bike inner tube. Have fun all!

5:11 am

Haz1558

Did you pretend not to know her, Lori?

5:11 am

FMitch

Hi and bye MG

5:11 am

Haz1558

LIterally, mr president? Are you licking your lips?

5:11 am

Jacula

When I started school a girl in my reception class was the daughter of our teacher. She used to reply, 'Yes Mummy' when her name was called on the register. Bet that wouldn't be allowed these days.

5:11 am

mrpresident

in my freezer that is :D Lickety was hiding it

5:11 am

LoriP

I tried, but got reprimanded by her AND Mom. Not good.

5:12 am

LoriP

Later MG

5:12 am

Haz1558

LIckety is a man after my own heart. I have taken to hiding food occasionally but husband always discovers it.

5:12 am

Jacula

'Bye Monkey.

5:12 am

Jacula

Haz - ditto re the food hiding.

5:13 am

Haz1558

I sometimes wonder if he gets Spangle on the case.

5:13 am

Haz1558

'Seek, Spangle, seek!'

5:13 am

Jacula

He found my Ben & Jerry's Phish icecream.

5:13 am

LoriP

Put it in the dryer. Nobody ever looks there, since it's an appliance that involves chores.

5:13 am

Jacula

LOL Haz.

5:13 am

Jacula

Lori - it'd melt!

5:14 am

Haz1558

But that's the problem with freezer stuff, isn't it?

5:14 am

LoriP

Chips don't...... :-)

5:14 am

FMitch

sheesh, I have not been able to find a single u yet, think that means I should go and do other things.

5:14 am

mrpresident

I have to mix my own icecream up with pistachio and caramel, then freeze it again...

5:14 am

Haz1558

I have tried putting things in containers on top of the kitchen cupboards but he still finds them.

5:14 am

Jacula

We need a hidden freezer compartment.

5:14 am

LoriP

Noooooo! Don't go

5:14 am

FMitch

Lori ear, I did give notice of departure some 10 mins ago :)

5:14 am

Haz1558

The State with a different letter ending!

5:14 am

Jacula

Maybe they could make tumble dryers with them added on?

5:15 am

LoriP

yah, but I ignored it, so it doesn't count. :-)

5:15 am

FMitch

Happy Babbling all and see you later.

5:15 am

Haz1558

Lori ear - is this a new condition? To go with pouty mouth?

5:15 am

Jacula

'Bye FM.

5:15 am

Haz1558

See you FMitch.

5:16 am

mrpresident

bye fm

5:16 am

LoriP

***pouts good bye to FM***

5:16 am

Haz1558

Darn. recycle lorry here....

5:17 am

Haz1558

I made it. I don't know whether Spangle was barking at the noise of the lorry or at the sight of me haring down the drive.

5:18 am

Jacula

Our bin lorry hasn't arrived yet. If it arrives now, the lad I can see leaning on our bin to do a text might well end up in the chute!

5:19 am

Haz1558

Wouldn't that be fun?

5:19 am

Jacula

Don't tempt me to go out and tip him in! Grins.

5:20 am

Haz1558

Oh go on. Just for the laugh. And the assault charge and subsequent headlines in the local paper.

5:20 am

Jacula

One way to hit the headlines, I guess.:-)

5:21 am

Scrabbler

Hello all. I see that Jacula is about to commit a crime.

5:21 am

Jacula

Actually, my name (real name) has been up in lights. It was a book and a film.

5:21 am

Jacula

(Elmore Leonard)

5:21 am

Haz1558

I spend my life trying to avoid the headlines.

5:21 am

Haz1558

Hello Scrabbler.

5:22 am

Jacula

Hi Scrabbs. Drat! The lad's moved on. He must have sensed our intentions.

5:22 am

Haz1558

If you get a trenchcoat and trilby hat on and follow him from a safe distance, he'll not suspect a thing.

5:22 am

Scrabbler

People focused on texting messages are oblivious to their surroundings.

5:22 am

Jacula

Must be difficult, Haz, when you go out with George.

5:22 am

mrpresident

I will have to have the icecream tub surgically removed now... bbs

5:23 am

Jacula

LOL, Haz.

5:23 am

Scrabbler

Hazel has a great plan.

5:23 am

Haz1558

That's why we mostly stay home, Jacula.

5:23 am

Haz1558

See you later, mrp.

5:24 am

Jacula

'Bye MrP.

5:25 am

Scrabbler

The paparazzi ruin everything, don't they, Hazel.

5:25 am

Haz1558

They do, Scrabbler, they do.

5:26 am

Haz1558

(For those who don't know, Scrabbler is delusional. She thinks George Clooney is her fiance. Try to be kind to her.)

5:27 am

Jacula

Ah, ahem. Okay. *Pats Scrabbs kindly.*

5:27 am

Haz1558

It's really sad. She's a doctor and everything but nothing can shake her from the delusion. Not even the reality that George stays in my understairs cupboard.

5:27 am

Scrabbler

I quietly snuck out of bed and left him sleeping.

5:28 am

crosshair

rabbits!!! lol morning ladies:)

5:29 am

Haz1558

Of course you did. And have you had your pink pills this morning?

5:29 am

Scrabbler

Perhaps *GASP* we are both delusional. It is difficult to face reality.

5:29 am

Jacula

Morning Cross.

5:29 am

Scrabbler

hi crosshair

5:29 am

Haz1558

I'll try to contain my mirth, Scrabbler. Nobody could think such a thing.

5:29 am

Haz1558

Good morning crosshair.

5:30 am

Scrabbler

Well, I prefer to live in my fantasy world--it is wonderful here. Everyone is welcome to visit me.

5:30 am

crosshair

try a white pill,a blue pill,and some yellow onw that i cant remember what it does

5:30 am

Haz1558

(She's in Ward 3 of the Home for the Bewildered)

5:31 am

Scrabbler

I am more than bewildered.

5:31 am

crosshair

my da aways said not to worry about when you finally go over the edge cause you wont know when it happens anyways

5:32 am

Haz1558

True, it's others looking on who have the problems.

5:32 am

Jacula

PB, Haz. You said a word.

5:33 am

Scrabbler

TY, I figured it out

5:33 am

Haz1558

Zut alors!

5:39 am

crosshair

5:39 am

carleekat

8:26 am

City 17 dweller

8:52 am

Sheimi492

8:52 am

Sheimi492

8:54 am

Sheimi492

i havent been on here for too long. i signed up a couple of days ago, and i am getting better. i just need more practise on getting my brain to concentrate. it has a slight tendency to wander off somewhere else when i try to do so. this is why i have troubles with games such as these lol i shall have to get a leash for my brain heehee

8:54 am

Boobear

hi flosey

8:56 am

flosey

Sheimi, I often have to ignore chat in order to try to complete the larger grids

8:56 am

Sheimi492

yeah

8:56 am

Sheimi492

i just feel that chatting makes it better, because then i can ask clues and that

8:56 am

Sheimi492

it makes me concentrate more lol

8:56 am

flosey

oh yes, it's always open

8:58 am

Judi

Good morning, Babbleologists. E-GADS! Tis a large grid for the middle of the week.

Morning, Haz!

9:09 am

Jescer

hi Haz

9:09 am

Haz1558

Hello there - enjoying the grid?

9:10 am

flosey

hello Haz

9:10 am

Jescer

I am actaully. It is just starting to slow down for me though, 170 words left

9:10 am

Judi

Pfft. Oh yeah. Joy and bliss.

9:10 am

flosey

9:11 am

Haz1558

That's the spirit, Judi.

9:11 am

Uneaixoise

thinking of going to the list with 69 to go . . .

9:11 am

Haz1558

You've stuck it out well, Une. I was on earlier and still have a bit to go.

9:11 am

Jescer

Good going une. I know I will have to hit the list sooner than that!

9:12 am

harpjane

is the sc8 a common word?

9:12 am

Haz1558

But I'm experiencing the fresh eyes phenomenon.

9:12 am

Uneaixoise

at least these are words I've HEARD of--unlike some from yesterday! LOL

9:12 am

Haz1558

It's probably common in a dermatology textbook, harpjane.

9:12 am

Jescer

I love the fresh eyes phenomenon

9:13 am

harpjane

thanks, that helps!

9:13 am

Haz1558

It lulls you into a false sense of security, though (the fresh eyes thing) - you think it's plain sailing from here on, but reality hits eventually.

9:13 am

harpjane

got it

9:14 am

Haz1558

Well done, harpjane.

9:14 am

Judi

Ooh. Just semi-monkeyed the sc8. Also found an St9. *strutting*

9:14 am

Jescer

Good job Judi and harp

9:14 am

Haz1558

Get Judi.

Uneaixoise

9:18 am

Boobear

I just got the ar 7/32

9:18 am

Uneaixoise

ar + vowel + french word for "we"

9:19 am

harpjane

does the no6/18 build from the 4?

9:19 am

Judi

Ah! Wanted to go with the french clue, but couldn't remember if the ending was we or our. Mon dieu!

9:20 am

Uneaixoise

judi LOL!

9:20 am

FMitch

If this had been 'Babble en Francais' I would have found so many words!
Hello all :)

9:20 am

Haz1558

It ends in shortened female sibling, sis.

9:20 am

Uneaixoise

hey, fmitch!

9:20 am

joshuavorbis

good morning all

9:20 am

Haz1558

NOOOOOOO. I meant to say harpjane..

9:20 am

Haz1558

Hello FMitch.

9:20 am

FMitch

Hi Une! andHaz and all

9:20 am

Judi

And... Merde! One year of French class is not very helpful when it comes to Babble.

9:21 am

Haz1558

Have you been working hard, FMitch? (travailing dur)

9:21 am

FMitch

lol Judi.
Ignoring franglais, yes ahve been very productive (must have been that caffine)

9:22 am

Haz1558

I'm just glad you stopped bouncing around long enough to get things done.

9:22 am

Judi

Personally, I speak fractured froglish.

9:22 am

Uneaixoise

reminds me of Art Buchwald's annual essay at Thanksgiving: Le Jour du Merci Donnant

9:22 am

FMitch

Well it gave me the boost I needed, been a tad unmotivated last couple of days.

9:23 am

Haz1558

You get days like that.

9:24 am

FMitch

Head is spinning from counting tile values...
needless to say Thank goodness for Lickety!

9:24 am

flosey

does anyone have a clue for the last ur6 word please?

9:25 am

Haz1558

I've succumbed as well. Fresh eyes phenomenon was okay for a while.

9:25 am

Judi

Plural of the ur5, Flosey.

9:25 am

Haz1558

flosey, finish off the word with a bit of a twitch

9:25 am

FMitch

flosey change the vowel from the 6/24 you already have

9:25 am

Uneaixoise

i have a ur6/21 verb and a ur6/24 adjective

9:25 am

FMitch

there are 2 x 6/24

9:26 am

Uneaixoise

thanks, fmitch!

9:26 am

flosey

Haz1558

Any excuse...

9:28 am

FMitch

ea right .. any excuse for a little eye candy

9:28 am

flosey

have the twitch word Haz, it's the one after that I'm missing

9:28 am

FMitch

flosey just change the vowel - alt sp possibly

9:28 am

Haz1558

Two of the words end in a twitch, they differ only in the vowel used in third position, flosey.

9:29 am

flosey

ok, thanks Haz

9:29 am

Boobear

clue for ar 6 please

9:29 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, flosey.

9:30 am

FMitch

Haz1558

9:30 am

Boobear

ty

9:31 am

FMitch

Considering there are 2 x re sets of tiles, there aren't that many actual re words I am glad to say

9:32 am

Haz1558

So no need for Lori to pout at all?

9:32 am

FMitch

Ah wel .. me thinks she will pout just out of habit, she enjoys it :)

9:33 am

Haz1558

It's her trademark now, I suppose.

9:35 am

FMitch

Came across a great word today - not in the grid btw:
fossicking, means (sort of) to search with a profit in mind - as in .. I was fossicking at the car boot fair last weekend :)

9:35 am

flosey

going to walk out to get the paper, perhaps will help clear my head

9:36 am

Haz1558

See you later, flosey.

9:36 am

FMitch

Bye flosey

9:36 am

flosey

have been staring at grid too long

9:36 am

Haz1558

Where did you come across fossicking?

9:37 am

FMitch

In the weekender TV guide of all places

9:37 am

Haz1558

It's a new one on me, but I like the sound of it.

9:38 am

FMitch

Its an Aussie word according to online dict

9:38 am

SharonRA

hows about an ar 7

9:38 am

FMitch

I am going to try to remember it as I do enjoy a good fossick on a Sunday morning *grin*

9:39 am

Haz1558

EIther something that appears in a magazine in definite or indefinite form (ar7/32) or ar7/32 - verb form of to be, followed by French we, or English common sense.

9:39 am

FMitch

Haven't got that one yet Sharon

9:39 am

Haz1558

An Aussie word? That's interesting, it sounds like old English.

9:40 am

BzznBea

Count for the Os, please/

9:40 am

FMitch

mmm.. brb will look it up in my Ocford history of words dict

9:40 am

SharonRA

BzznBea

TY harp.

9:41 am

harpjane

BzznBea

LO6 - to hang around

9:42 am

harpjane

9:42 am

harpjane

no6/18?

9:43 am

BzznBea

Second letter of the Os in the top right corner, please?

9:43 am

Uneaixoise

like no4/4 above, and ends in not bro

9:43 am

Haz1558

no6/18 - it ends in a shortened female sibling, reached by means of a vowel.

9:43 am

FMitch

Goes back to the mid 18th centuary and is related to the gold mining industry Haz

9:43 am

harpjane

lol thanks haz

9:43 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, harp.

9:43 am

FMitch

os4 and os5 Bea

9:43 am

harpjane

they are both os words

9:44 am

BzznBea

TY again Harp.

9:44 am

Haz1558

That's interesting - so the word really does relate to a profit gained by rooting round in the right place?

9:44 am

FMitch

So it seems!

9:45 am

Haz1558

Lesson learned for the day.

9:45 am

FMitch

Oh btw 7 left (borrows Atas smug medal)

9:46 am

harpjane

i wanted ratso to be a word....

9:46 am

Haz1558

I don't think I'll overtake you unless I take on a terrific burst of speed and you slow to a complete standstill.

9:46 am

FMitch

I have tried that a number of times harp

9:47 am

lizmac

Hello everybody. Nice trip, Haz? Back to our temperate(!) shores, any flooding there?

9:47 am

FMitch

How many to go?

9:47 am

FMitch

Hi Liz, no rain today (yet) yipeee

9:47 am

Haz1558

Hello Liz! No flooding in this house, plenty in the town, though. The trip was great.

9:48 am

Pinikula

morning all...just a few mins before getting ready for work...

9:48 am

SharonRA

anytime I get smug, something comes around to bite me in the rear

9:48 am

FMitch

Very good point Sharon *drops smug medal quickly*

9:49 am

Haz1558

You need to get yourself in a suitably lofty position.

9:50 am

lizmac

A bit of a shock to the system I imagine, Haz. It'll be weeks before you feel warm again.

9:50 am

Pinikula

how's eeryone doing?

9:50 am

Haz1558

Not really - it's African winter so it wasn't unbearably hot at all, not nearly as hot as the Med at this time of the year.

9:50 am

lizmac

I'm off to Pisa next week, lucky me.

9:50 am

SharonRA

look at all those c's....good god

9:51 am

Haz1558

It WAS a bit of a shock to land in what felt like monsoon weather.

9:51 am

FMitch

.. and the g's :(

9:51 am

Haz1558

Lovely, liz. I really like Italy as well.

9:52 am

lizmac

AND Sicily in October, lucky lucky me!

9:52 am

Haz1558

Are you aiming for Ata's smug medal?

9:52 am

FMitch

I see you have Spangletina back as yr icon, may I adopt the beach as an icon if the need arises?

9:52 am

Haz1558

Watch out for men carrying violin cases.

9:53 am

Haz1558

Yes, of course you may, FMitch. Spangle is back in her rightful place.

9:53 am

lizmac

Oh, NO competition. Self appointed queen of smug, me.

9:53 am

harpjane

9:53 am

FMitch

Lovely, liz

9:53 am

lizmac

Indeed.

9:54 am

Haz1558

I reckon we may have blood on our hands if Ata and Liz get together....

9:54 am

BzznBea

RO7 is like the HO7

9:54 am

FMitch

ro7 - to act in a swaggering, boisterous, or uproarious manner

9:54 am

flosey

back refreshed - after 2 very hot days, day/night of rain, sunny and fresh today - rain much needed for garden

9:54 am

Haz1558

ro7 - have a mad time?

9:55 am

Haz1558

Glad you're clearheaded again, flosey.

9:55 am

harpjane

thanks, got the ho7 too!

9:56 am

lizmac

No, no...I'm not a violent queen of smug. Just quietly selfsatisfied.

9:56 am

movieman

9:56 am

flosey

Haz1558

woohoo, fmitch!!!!!!!!!!!

10:15 am

Jescer

Sorry flosey, I need it too.

10:16 am

FMitch

*doea happy dance now internect connection has stopped hic upping*

10:16 am

Haz1558

flosey - it's a dermatological term, ending in a flower, reached by the masculine French.

10:17 am

Karys

thanks Haz !!

10:17 am

Jescer

thanks Haz!

10:17 am

Haz1558

You're welcome - nice to see smiley cat, Karys!

10:17 am

Karys

good to see Spangle !

10:17 am

Dorens

fabulous clue haz thanks

10:18 am

Haz1558

Yes, she's back in her rightful position.

10:18 am

Karys

did you see the programme about the dogs last night Haz ?

10:18 am

Haz1558

Glad the clue worked, Dorens.

10:18 am

Haz1558

I did indeed. Husband (vet for nearly 30 years) had never heard of some of the conditions.

10:19 am

flosey

thanks Haz, finally got it

10:19 am

Dorens

looks like this might be the kind of grid where I need my friends....

10:19 am

flosey

almost sounds like diseased liver

10:19 am

Haz1558

There's undoubtedly a problem in some breeds, but the programme made it sound as if every pedigree dog was on its last legs.

10:19 am

Karys

I was not aware of the cavalier problem, I had one a while back, thankfully he seemed ok.

10:19 am

Dorens

or lickety's list at the very least

10:20 am

Karys

I did feel for the German Shepherds though

10:20 am

Haz1558

There's lots of nice words, Dorens but some new ones as well.

10:20 am

Haz1558

Yes - they are obviously in difficulties there.

10:21 am

Haz1558

I could see the point - breeders are trying to reach a standard based on looks. It's time that changed.

10:21 am

Karys

I have 89 to find, not gone to the list yet, but I only have 3 of the 8's

10:22 am

Karys

I think so too, the only good reason to have a pedigree that I can see, is that you will know how big what sort of temperament it should have.

10:23 am

Karys

pop and 'and' in there somewhere and it will make more sense !

10:23 am

Haz1558

Yes - they did draw the comparison between what is acceptable in working dogs and show dogs.

10:24 am

Haz1558

We knew about various problems associated with certain breeds - Spangle is working dog stock and so far all is well.

10:24 am

rururocks

last ar 7 clue? anyone.. Hi everybody.. been lurking this a.m.

10:25 am

Haz1558

ar7 - you may find a definite or indefinite one in a magazine or newspaper

10:25 am

Karys

The 'spangle' variety did not seem to show problems anyway did it ?

10:25 am

Haz1558

No - not so far.

10:25 am

Karys

ty Haz !

10:25 am

rururocks

oh god.. how could I miss that?

10:26 am

Haz1558

It happens, ruru, it happens.

10:26 am

FMitch

Karys!!!!! Afternoon :)

10:26 am

Karys

10:26 am

Karys

10:27 am

FMitch

Long time! Fine thanks. What brings you to babble on a work day or is it hols?

10:28 am

Karys

10:29 am

FMitch

HAven't seen you in the log for so long! Lovely to see smiley cat again.

10:29 am

Karys

I am usually here, but in and out so much I try to keep in the 'backroom' !

10:30 am

Haz1558

She means she hides under the desk like the rest of us.

10:30 am

Karys

Indeed Haz, I am actually under the stairs !

10:30 am

FMitch

72 Temple Owl

10:36 am

Haz1558

10:37 am

FMitch

Oh? bad bad boss :(

10:37 am

Karys

MonkeyGames

Oh, OK. This was not explained. All right, it's been 7 hours since my second of the three for the ady, I'll take it now. They make me feel queasy and tired for half an hour or so, then that wears off. The back issues come back after around four hours, so my thinking was get the full effect to avoid stiffening up, but I vastly prefer to follow medical advice to the point of erring on the side of caution. Let me go get some crackers and water.

2:10 pm
