3:16 am

westford

we must have it in the grocery store because the other day my husband picked up milk and bread and it said challah on the receipt and it wasn't

3:17 am

Just1Mar

well grocery bread is nothing like bakery bread...

3:17 am

westford

we are very diverse here

3:17 am

westford

I know miss having a bakery around

3:18 am

Just1Mar

it's just that in Jewish areas you will always find bakeries...

3:18 am

sprite

there have always been lots of Jewish people in the netherlands, so I trust they kept their lovely food in honor!

3:18 am

Just1Mar

I'm sure spritey....for me tho my Judism is more traditional than religious..

3:19 am

westford

brb

3:19 am

Just1Mar

but Jews around the world..very diverse people and only 13 million strong (weak) have certain things in common no matter where they are...eg FOOD!!! lol

3:20 am

sprite

it is a very connecting thing, food :)

3:20 am

westford

I just googled Korb's bakery and it closed after 93 years oh darn.

3:21 am

3:37 am

westford

winters are milder there aren't they?

3:37 am

Just1Mar

yes much

3:37 am

Just1Mar

but still damp and cold

3:38 am

westford

if and when they do move you can visit jilli

3:38 am

Just1Mar

and so much more expensive to live there so any gains in salary will be eaten up in expenses

3:38 am

Just1Mar

lol yeah although she aint quite around the corner from vancouver

3:38 am

westford

west coast always more

3:39 am

3:42 am

Just1Mar

3:43 am

Just1Mar

did you try the melatonin?

3:43 am

westford

I don't sleep that much anymore

3:43 am

westford

3:43 am

Just1Mar

3:43 am

westford

takes me a good hour to wake up

3:44 am

Just1Mar

lol me too actually 2 hours

3:44 am

westford

if I go to bed when I'm not really tired I just lie awake and think

3:44 am

Just1Mar

I drink coffee and cold water when I get up

3:45 am

Just1Mar

that's why the melatonin will help

3:45 am

westford

I hate thinking

3:45 am

westford

so do I

3:45 am

Just1Mar

you'll just drift off before you know it

3:45 am

westford

drift off and wake up refreshed?

3:46 am

Just1Mar

I know.....thinking is well ....a nuisance

3:46 am

sandyloo

3:46 am

bfsog

hey all.

3:46 am

sandyloo

hi bf

3:46 am

westford

hi bf do you have a joke for us?

3:47 am

Just1Mar

yes sandy it's usually sold with the vitamins etc in health food or grocery section...it helps you sleep without side effects

3:47 am

Just1Mar

our bodies produce melatonin but most of us as we age, not enough anymore

3:47 am

sandyloo

sometimes I cant sleep and it is very annoying but I have never taken anything

3:48 am

sandyloo

hmm might be worth a try if its a natural thing

3:48 am

Just1Mar

it's worth a try then sandy, it's not expensive and readily available

3:48 am

westford

I can't nap because if I do I wake up in the middle of the night

3:48 am

Andree

3:48 am

Just1Mar

Just1Mar

sandyloo

The ugly woman was a contestant

3:51 am

westford

I'm sure she's just pretending to be mean

3:52 am

Just1Mar

probably not I'm sure they were Yanks

3:52 am

Haz1558

Maybe the ugly contestant woman was hoping to win some money so that she too could have elastic surgery.

3:52 am

Andree

Haz1558

Just hold Hobbit outside for a few minutes and tell her to paddle her legs. It's foul weather here.

4:02 am

Just1Mar

well mine is salt and pepper except all around the hairline where it's white

4:02 am

Just1Mar

it almost looks like I paid to have this done!

4:02 am

westford

filled out one of those questionaires and could only use one word answers

4:02 am

Just1Mar

lolol

4:03 am

westford

it's very attractive

4:03 am

sandyloo

I have a great way of walking our dogs - I get on our four wheeler and drive around the paddocks - the dogs, the horse and the cow all run after me!

4:03 am

westford

like the pied piper?

4:03 am

Just1Mar

my hubby found a pix of us from about 20 or 22 years ago......

4:03 am

sandyloo

I'm so popular it must be my good looks and sparkling personality

4:04 am

Just1Mar

at a friends wedding...Jen our D in Law couldn't believe how sexy I was

4:04 am

sandyloo

Husband says they want food

Just1Mar

my scanner isn't working :(

4:05 am

Just1Mar

I get this inch thick black line right thru the centre

4:06 am

westford

that's not good

4:06 am

Just1Mar

of course this happened only one month after the warranty expired

4:06 am

westford

maybe you could stand just to the left of it

4:06 am

Just1Mar

lol okay I'll try

4:06 am

westford

perfect timing

4:07 am

Just1Mar

but tomorrow cause now....I'm off.....the melatonin has kicked in (why didn't I take it hours ago?)

4:10 am

LoriP

***comes to the surface, gasping for air, mumbling about the lack of an e in this grid***

4:10 am

sandyloo

I was just thinking that Lori

4:11 am

LoriP

24 left, and I think they'll all be painful.

4:13 am

LoriP

Missing 2 8's, got the 7's. I have the ts, anyone have the first 2 letters ONLY of the 8's please?

4:15 am

BabbleRabble

ha and wi

4:16 am

LoriP

So that's my missing w. Thanks a tonnage BR.

4:18 am

LoriP

Some day, I'll learn to plural words. I hope....

4:20 am

Andree

clue for my missing ca5/12 please

4:20 am

Atalante

coldcoldCOLD!

4:21 am

LoriP

Biblical like, old english

4:21 am

BabbleRabble

ca 5 -- biblical unable

4:21 am

LoriP

Hobbit hasn't learned to walk himself yet Ata hari?

4:21 am

Haz1558

Oh look who's turned up while I was away. Good morning Lori and BabbleRabble.

4:22 am

Atalante

noooooo. and she just spent 20 minutes chasing next door's cat while I stood around getting cold

4:22 am

Haz1558

I'm thinking dual treadmills might be the way forward for winter dog walking.

4:22 am

Atalante

that sounds good

4:23 am

Andree

thx lori and babble

4:23 am

Haz1558

The dogs could go at a brisker pace, naturally.

4:24 am

Atalante

naturally!

4:25 am

Lizsark

Big smile to see everyone :)

4:25 am

Haz1558

Good morning Liz!

4:25 am

Atalante

LIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz

4:25 am

LoriP

G'd morning Liz

4:25 am

Lizsark

ATAAAAAAAAAAAAa

4:25 am

Lizsark

LOL

4:26 am

Lizsark

How are you all?

4:26 am

Andree

hi liz

4:26 am

Andree

fine here thank you

4:26 am

sandyloo

hello liz

4:26 am

Atalante

we were only the other day wondering what Oscar had been up to

4:27 am

Haz1558

I'm well.

4:27 am

Lizsark

Well he met a very scary wheelbarrow this morning

4:27 am

Lizsark

which set him off saying Ru Ru Ru very loudly at 6am

4:27 am

Atalante

oh noo!

4:27 am

LoriP

Deer in headlights on the ha 8. A nudge please?

4:28 am

Lizsark

Lucky we live in a fairly isolated spot huh?

4:28 am

carleekat

hi all

4:28 am

sandyloo

hello carl

4:28 am

Lizsark

Any news on the Peru front yet Ata?

4:29 am

Atalante

well I'm sure everyone around would have been pleased to know about the wheelbarrow threat :P

4:29 am

Lizsark

well it was very scary - they can be quite fierce you know :)

4:29 am

Atalante

I am *still* waiting to find out when Oxonmoot is next year. I keep asking and being told someone will tell me and they never do *sigh*

4:29 am

Haz1558

You can never take a wheelbarrow for granted.

4:29 am

Lizsark

Ah I see Spangle has told you all about them Haz?

4:30 am

LoriP

Oh the wheelbarrow stories I could tell. they're cagey.

4:30 am

Lizsark

hang on brb

4:31 am

Haz1558

We approach them all with due caution. You never know what they're carrying. Those ones with balls instead of wheels are extra sc5/16 - all that new technology.

4:31 am

Atalante

oh yes. hobbithates those

4:31 am

Haz1558

(Should I point out that Liz deserves PB for her sc5 description or will we overlook it?)

4:32 am

LoriP

No exceptions. She must be punished!

4:32 am

Atalante

punishment! will can blame FM

4:32 am

Haz1558

But she lives on a small island with OScar. Can there be no mercy?

4:33 am

LoriP

Off with her head!

4:33 am

sandyloo

thanks liz

4:33 am

LoriP

Many of us have spent our entire lives avoiding the PB, standards you know.

4:33 am

Haz1558

I'll have to look up that Portia speech.

4:33 am

sandyloo

I try but sometimes........

4:34 am

Atalante

I suppose really the PB holds no fears after dealing with Oscar 24/7

4:34 am

Andree

clap her in irons

4:34 am

Haz1558

No, and anyone who has trekked with Jordan is hardened to anything.

4:35 am

Lizsark

I have customers so I have to go but I just read down and you are all very bad! I hadn't even looked at the grid and none of you told me about the sc5!!!!

4:35 am

Haz1558

Ignorance is no excuse, Liz.

4:35 am

Lizsark

and Haz I'm as soft as a marshmallow un-hardened to anythign LOL

4:35 am

LoriP

That's no defense Liz.

4:36 am

sandyloo

I wonder what profession Liz is in - I hope those aren't customers in the biblical sense!

4:36 am

Lizsark

:) You are all making me laugh and my customers think I'm demented! *poof*

4:36 am

Haz1558

That soft as marshmallow descriptive wouldn't extend to Jordan's face and (ahem) so called assets.

4:36 am

Atalante

I think the Oscar thing is the best defence. Especially after the Wheelbarrow

4:37 am

LoriP

Customers, so convenient after such a PB moment.

4:37 am

Atalante

omg peter mandelson is back in the cabinet *runs*

4:37 am

Haz1558

Maybe the customers will think they've wandered into the Local Home for the Bewildered by mistake.

4:37 am

Haz1558

NEVER!

4:37 am

Atalante

apparently so!

4:37 am

Haz1558

That's about the 50th time the little weasel has been in.

4:37 am

Atalante

I *know*

4:37 am

Haz1558

Not the Ruth Kelly job?

4:37 am

Atalante

he is AWFUL. he makes Sarah Palin look nice

4:38 am

Atalante

maybe ... no. business secretary according to sky

4:38 am

LoriP

Makes Palin look nice? ***recoils in fear***

4:38 am

Haz1558

What sort of secrets must he hold to make British Prime Ministers love him so much?

4:39 am

Haz1558

He's not even an MP any more - given a seat in the Lords?

4:39 am

Atalante

I really don't know ... *shakes head* it's a bit bewildering

4:39 am

Haz1558

The noise you heard was my jaw hitting the ground.

4:40 am

Atalante

He is no longer an MP but will be given a seat in the Lords, possibly with the business and enterprise portfolio.

4:40 am

Atalante

http://tinyurl.com/3vnd2h <- the beeb article

4:41 am

Haz1558

I know - I turned on the TV to make sure it wasn't your idea of a joke!

4:41 am

Atalante

I wouldn't joke about *that*!!!

4:42 am

Haz1558

I hoped not. Even I wouldn't have been able to dream up that scenario. 7 dwarves lacing up Snow White's corsets is nothing compared to Mandelson back in government.

4:42 am

Atalante

absoutely. I'm - rather speechless

4:42 am

Haz1558

(whispering very quietly - David Blunkett? John Prescott?)

4:44 am

Atalante

David Blunkett says bringing back Mandelson is a "masterstroke". Yes, I can see a lot of people having - well - heart attacks maybe

4:44 am

Haz1558

I'm either going to have to lie down or walk about the room in frenzied fashion.

4:44 am

Atalante

brandy sounds good

4:45 am

Haz1558

A masterstroke? Was David talking from his room in the psychiatric hospital?

4:45 am

Atalante

I think he's with the bewildered too

4:45 am

Haz1558

I think Gordon's been having too many brandies. It's the only explanation.

4:45 am

Atalante

haz, how would you describe mandelson, for lori's benefit!

4:46 am

Haz1558

I think this is what Sir Humphrey Appleby would have called 'a courageous decision'.

4:46 am

Atalante

looool yes! perfect!

4:47 am

Haz1558

He's a little weasel. He has held two government cabinet posts, sacked both times, numerous rumours about him - sent off to Europe with a mega-bucks salary to keep him out of the way. But he always comes back.

4:47 am

Atalante

he's very suave and very gay as well

4:47 am

Haz1558

He is smarmy, possibly very clever but you wouldn't trust him an inch on ANYTHING.

4:47 am

Atalante

and makes your skin crawl with oiliness

4:48 am

Atalante

I think he is very clever. Very clever. But too scheming

4:48 am

Haz1558

I'm telling you, he must know where the bodies are buried. It's the only explanation.

4:48 am

Atalante

either that or he's having an affair with Gordon Brown

4:49 am

Haz1558

Well - it seems to be a given that the most unlikely looking men are love gods behind everybody's backs.

4:49 am

Atalante

at least robin cook can't come back

4:50 am

Haz1558

I know. I think.

4:50 am

Atalante

unless as a zombie. but ...

4:51 am

Haz1558

Zombies are unproven in gaining votes.

4:51 am

Atalante

at least he couldn't be more ugly as a zombie

4:52 am

Haz1558

He couldn't be accused of having had cosmetic surgery to improve his looks, that's for sure.

4:52 am

LoriP

Wow, what a beautiful sunrise shaping up here. Wish I had a camera. Gorgeous!

4:52 am

10s Gu

can someone tell me how many words on this grid.... thank you

4:52 am

Haz1558

144 words today.

4:52 am

Atalante

sorry, lori. this was just a - a - *speechless* moment

4:52 am

LoriP

144 words, G'd morning 10's

4:53 am

LoriP

:D @ Ata hari

4:53 am

10s Gu

g'd morning to you LoriP and thank you

4:53 am

Haz1558

Yes, we were rendered so speechless that we haven't stopped talking about it for 10 minutes.

4:53 am

jean1953

good morning everyone:)

4:53 am

10s Gu

ty haz

4:53 am

jean1953

morning Lori:)

4:53 am

Haz1558

Good morning jean!

4:53 am

Atalante

absolutely LOL

4:54 am

Haz1558

(Let's see if jean has the same reaction)

4:54 am

Haz1558

So, jean, have you heard that Peter Mandelson is back in government?

4:54 am

Atalante

heard the news, jean? LOL

4:54 am

jean1953

lol no lol

4:55 am

LoriP

Hi jean!!!!!!!!!!

4:55 am

Haz1558

Is that laughter the hysterical or the rejoicing variety?

4:55 am

jean1953

its the hysterical type Haz lol

4:56 am

Haz1558

I knew it!

4:56 am

jean1953

What can one say lol

4:56 am

Atalante

join in the hysteria!

4:56 am

Haz1558

Nothing - pass the brandy.

4:56 am

jean1953

oh dear I think in my next life if there is such a thing I may have to come back as a politician!!!!

4:57 am

LoriP

Hold it. Are you people saying politics can be interesting outside of North America?

4:57 am

Haz1558

Mandelson seems to have more than his fair share of lives.

4:57 am

Atalante

LMAO Lori

4:57 am

Haz1558

Oh no, Lori, we would NEVER claim such a thing. The idea!

4:58 am

jean1953

lmao too right if he was a cat he would have run out of lives way back lol

4:58 am

LoriP

i thought not. Such a notion is unthinkable.

4:58 am

Haz1558

He's just like a bad recurring dream. Are we sure this isn't April 1st?

4:58 am

Atalante

who is the most disliked slimy person in north american politics, lori?

4:59 am

Haz1558

Yes, who would universally be named as a weasel and a worm?

4:59 am

jean1953

No sorry Haz just checked it out its definitely not April 1st but maybe candid camera is back lol

4:59 am

LoriP

If I answered that, the repercussions could be endless. Northern North Americans are very discreet.

5:00 am

Atalante

lol well imagine that person suddenly being back in a Place of Power

5:00 am

LoriP

Not to mention the damage internally to Babble interactions.....

5:00 am

Haz1558

I was saying earlier that in my wildest dreams I couldn't have imagined this. It's mad.

5:00 am

jean1953

oh bless me its on the radio as we speak blow cannot hear running to turn it up a mo

5:00 am

LoriP

Time to do the morning thing. 15 to go, bbl. Hi jean! er, I mean bye jean.....

5:01 am

Haz1558

See you later Lori.

5:01 am

jean1953

bye Lori have a good day:)

5:02 am

Atalante

where's fm when we need her?

5:02 am

Haz1558

She's probably lying down in a darkened room.

5:03 am

Haz1558

Ata, we can't blame her for this. It's a burden too great for even FM's shoulders.

5:03 am

jean1953

shock can do that you know Haz lol she probably heard the news

5:03 am

Atalante

Sir Peter Mandelson. eeep

5:04 am

Atalante

no! Lord Peter

5:04 am

Atalante

?

5:04 am

Haz1558

I've just realised that I'm sitting shaking my head.

5:04 am

Atalante

if he's in the Lords

5:04 am

Haz1558

Lord Peter Mandelson of Intrigue.

5:04 am

Atalante

urf

5:05 am

Haz1558

And what about his Brazilian Dancing Partner. What title does he get? Lord Twinkletoes?

5:06 am

jean1953

lmao

5:06 am

Atalante

he'll be on Strictly Come Dancing next

5:07 am

Haz1558

Yes, looking for the popular approval ratings.

5:08 am

KatieMcG

Please God don't let him get housing!!!!

5:09 am

Atalante

apparently he's "maturer" now

5:09 am

Atalante

I think you're safe, katie

5:09 am

Haz1558

Maturer? Worms don't mature.

5:09 am

KatieMcG

Caroline Flint is widely tipped for promotion so lets see who is next in

5:10 am

Atalante

only when puckled

5:10 am

Atalante

*pickled!

5:10 am

Haz1558

I've just e-mailed my sister in work. Hysteria is about to break out in Belfast.

5:11 am

Haz1558

So, Katie, you're not seeing David Blunkett's point of view? A master stroke he said.

5:11 am

elder

Good morning everyone.

5:11 am

Haz1558

Good morning elder!

5:12 am

jean1953

good morning elder:)

5:12 am

Atalante

good is relative at the momemt!

5:12 am

sandyloo

evening elder

5:13 am

KatieMcG

I actually think he would be really good, but I don't want him as my minister getting a very difficult policy through. Flint has been excellent and I wouldn't want to lose her to be honest

5:13 am

elder

Ahh, I read.. Peter Mandelson. He has had more come backs than Frank Sinatra.

5:14 am

jean1953

right best get spare room organised, got grandchildren staying over this evening, may get a chance before they arrive to come back to grid, Happy Babbling everyone:)

5:14 am

Haz1558

10 minutes.... I'll be back. Bye Jean!

5:14 am

Chris P

they'r saying mandelson will be busniness secretary on the news. sorry don't rate flint at all katie

5:14 am

elder

Hello and Bye Jean.

5:14 am

Atalante

Peter M is a very very very good politician. However, that's not always a compliment

5:15 am

elder

Many people share your view Ata.

5:16 am

elder

Sandy. your being particularly calm this morning.

5:17 am

sandyloo

I am cold I just lit the fire Lol also I don't want to cook dinner

5:18 am

sandyloo

Also love talking politics but know nothing much about English Pol

5:18 am

Atalante

did I hear rumours of an rh5?

5:18 am

sandyloo

so just listening

5:18 am

elder

Sandy. LOL.

5:19 am

Atalante

just imagine a slimier version of John Howard coming back LOL

5:19 am

sandyloo

I always liked little Johnny - can't stand Rudd, he looks like Mr Sheen for a start

5:20 am

KatieMcG

Chris, it's funny but if you work within areas of their influence then you can have completely different views to those outside. I thought John Prescott was absolutely fantastic in Regeneration which caused much hilarity from others who did not know his work

5:20 am

Atalante

LOL sorry. my great-aunt just loathed Howard with a passion. She used to blame him for everything from the weather to the price of bread. It always amused me

5:20 am

Chris P

have to be honest - don't rate labour at all. think they have ruined this country

5:21 am

Chris P

hand

5:21 am

Chris P

sorry!

5:22 am

sandyloo

At we are all allowed to have our different opinions and thats what makes life interesting. Johnny left our economy in excellent condition but what Rudd is going to do is a loose cannon

5:22 am

sandyloo

He has spent most of his short time in office overseas

5:23 am

Atalante

absolutely, sandy. and I love being able to discuss such things with ppl who don't get upset about differences!

5:23 am

KatieMcG

I agree sandy, Politics and Religion I never debate the fundamentals as they are down to personal view, noone is wrong, noone is right :-)

5:23 am

sandyloo

I don't at all. But I know lots of people who do and it amuses me hugely

5:23 am

Chris P

sorry - tend to get on my soap box when politics is mentioned!

5:24 am

Atalante

so does everyone, but thats what makes the subject fascinating!

sandyloo

Lol Chris, stay on that soap box - it's all about the passion

5:25 am

Atalante

do read a bit about Mandelson though, sandy, he's an interesting character. been compared to Machiavelli

5:26 am

Chris P

thanks sandy - nicely put

5:26 am

sandyloo

I shall do that At

5:27 am

sandyloo

The most interesting thing I have read on the internet lately is the date October 14th

5:27 am

Atalante

oh yes?

5:28 am

sandyloo

I have a mad but lovely sister in law who is passionate about that subject - just google it - I always say keep an open mind - but i do find it a little ........

5:29 am

Chris P

emailed my husband at work about mandelson. haven't had a reply back yet, probably fainted from shock

5:29 am

sandyloo

let's say questionable but on Oct 14th I will be out at night with a large glass of wine

5:29 am

BabbleRabble

politics is about power .... how to acquire it and then maintain it .... matters little what is best for the electorate ... someone being compared to niccolo is not someone I would admire even though I know him not at all

5:29 am

carleekat

hi again all...so..what is on oct 14?

5:30 am

sandyloo

you have to google it carl. it's very "out there" no pun intended

5:30 am

KatieMcG

since I found out the news here I have had a facinating 1/2 hour on bbc/news. There is a story about a 7yr old Aussie kid killing loads of animals

5:31 am

sandyloo

omg, I must put the news on , that sounds awful

5:31 am

Atalante

in one of the zoos

5:32 am

carleekat

not lourdes ( madonna's daughter ) birthday?

5:32 am

bethanyej

5:33 am

carleekat

5:33 am

Chris P

just googled 14th october - omg!

5:34 am

sandyloo

now google 2012

5:34 am

Atalante

mayan end of the world?

5:35 am

sandyloo

5:36 am

carleekat

good grief... well..it takes all kinds ot make the world go round

5:36 am

Chris P

better get my trip to australia in before then, sandy!!

5:37 am

sandyloo

She is always getting me to look at these sites. Recently went to Noosa for a holiday and went out to some local fund raising things and this was their topic of conversation

5:37 am

Chris P

have to admit that i think the jehovah's witnesses will have the last laugh about the last days!

5:38 am

sandyloo

Whatever one believes it sure is fascinating

5:39 am

sandyloo

Can't see that 7 year old thing on tv

5:40 am

sandyloo

Carl - good grief!!! is a good comment

5:41 am

carleekat

I realised a long time ago....one cannot debate beliefs.... I have mine..and I believe they are right and all ofyou have your own..and you believe u are correct...who is to say which if any of us are correct....

5:42 am

sandyloo

I always listen carl, but I too have my beliefs but I do try to respect others

5:42 am

Atalante

no, but one can discuss them and learn

5:42 am

Chris P

i think it's good to share beliefs though, because can make you look at things in a way you haven't thought of before

5:43 am

sandyloo

It is fascinating to listen to those "out there" opinions and to look at the websites

5:43 am

carleekat

yeap....I was going to go on in that vein...but my post was ong enough and you all have brains..... figured someone else would pick up the soapbox torch and run with it for me :o)

5:44 am

Atalante

have a look for hollow earth websites, sandy. they are quite something

5:44 am

Chris P

same with politics (pushing soapbox under sofa)

5:44 am

sandyloo

Im watching the news and they are talking about formaldehyde in bras - I used to work with it in my job and it is dynamite-

5:45 am

carleekat

i'm stuck with 92 to go

5:45 am

sandyloo

Babble is the most informative and educational site

5:45 am

KatieMcG

If the 2012 is right thank goodness it's in December, I would have hated to have spent so much on the Olympics and not to have held them

5:45 am

Chris P

very funny katie!!

5:45 am

carleekat

<snort>....now that is funny katie

5:46 am

Atalante

lmao katie

5:46 am

sandyloo

That is only one opinion some say it is not the end of the Mayan calender but only one stage so we can live in hope ( I love the Olympics)

5:47 am

carleekat

I DON"T WANNA WORK TODAY..i have TOO much to do...packing for camping

5:47 am

carleekat

6:03 am

Atalante

LoriP

I'm missing 2 r's, but now I know it's an rh 5 :D

Haz1558

There's a rumour?

6:04 am

KristineNas

Good Morning Lori

6:05 am

Atalante

a rumour? is lickety away?

6:06 am

KatieMcG

I've got someone at work addicted, she has signed up for full membership in 3 days :-) just broken it to here that lickety is away

6:06 am

Haz1558

I think I might have heard that.

6:06 am

Haz1558

She'll be fine, Katie. It's only a rumour so far.

6:06 am

sandyloo

lol katie and I hope lickety doesn't get sunburnt

6:06 am

LoriP

He can't be. Didn't he just have time off a few years ago?

6:07 am

Atalante

hasn't he got his laptop with him??!

6:07 am

Haz1558

I think you're right, Lori. If he goes away, surely it's against the terms of his contract.

6:07 am

Haz1558

It must just be a rumour.

6:07 am

sandyloo

That's what I said at!! doesn't he care about his "real family" has to go off with the "other family"

6:08 am

Atalante

are there any dw words?

6:08 am

KristineNas

No Dw

6:08 am

LoriP

LoriP

6:09 am

Haz1558

Yes, they're the untamed side of the family, aren't they?

6:09 am

sandyloo

h***tar not a word

6:11 am

sandyloo

Lori, do you think I would have heard of this ha8 word, or is it really strange?

6:11 am

LoriP

It's just stupid, IMO. think of a memorandum perhaps for the second half

6:12 am

LoriP

God knows I'm ignorant, but it did not leap out at me.

6:12 am

Haz1558

Is it supposed to be a different way of describing someone who manages animals?

6:13 am

Chris P

love your picture haz

6:13 am

Haz1558

So do I, Chris. So pleased to share....

6:13 am

KatieMcG

Lol just got one of the ca 4/5, really really should have got it earlier

6:13 am

LoriP

It's defined as a "reference"

6:14 am

sandyloo

has it got anything to do with the things on the end of your arms

6:15 am

Haz1558

Combine a body part with what Lickety is rumoured to have left us without.

6:15 am

LoriP

Totally .....

6:16 am

LoriP

If I put any stock in rumors. Which i don't.

6:16 am

sandyloo

aaaaaaaaaaaaah, got it at last - thanks haz

6:16 am

Haz1558

Well done sandy!

6:16 am

KatieMcG

LoriP

6:18 am

Haz1558

I'm joining in the struggle, Chris. If we only had an e we could see our troubles dwindle away.

6:18 am

Chris P

6:18 am

LoriP

Boogie oogie oogie 'til you just can't boogie no more!

6:22 am

sandyloo

sorry sorry sorry

6:22 am

Chris P

that would be the one

6:22 am

Haz1558

And in case you think I'm mad, I was just recalling an old song. 'There's a hole in the bucket, dear Henry, dear Henry'

6:22 am

LoriP

By George I think she's got it...

6:22 am

Haz1558

Anyone else recall it?

6:23 am

sandyloo

Haz there's a hole in my brain, dear Sandy, dear Sandy!!!

6:23 am

Chris P

oh yes haz

6:23 am

LoriP

one of the most maddening campfire songs in the world? Nope, can't recall it.

6:23 am

Haz1558

It was great - a long song that ended up right at the beginning again with the dilemma- 'There's a hole in the bucket'

6:24 am

JBV

[singing along] say it louder, "I have beans in my ears" - remember that one?

6:24 am

sandyloo

I once had some kids to stay for a week and I strummed the guitar and sang the hole inthe bucket song and to this day they still think i can play the guitar!!!!

6:24 am

Haz1558

There was a version that used to appear on Saturday morning children's radio.

6:24 am

JBV

and when you get tired of that, you can sing "There's a log at the bottom of the sea"

6:25 am

Chris P

on the ed 'stewpot' stewart show??

6:25 am

sandyloo

don't know that one jbv

6:25 am

Atalante

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr cold

6:25 am

Haz1558

Yes, and going back even further than that, Chris.

6:25 am

LoriP

Still, or again ata hari?

6:26 am

Atalante

still! just getting steadily colder :P

6:26 am

Haz1558

Puff the Magic Dragon used to feature and 'Hello Mudda, Hello Fadda, take me home from Camp Grenada'

6:26 am

Atalante

I loved Puff!

6:26 am

Chris P

yeah i remember all those and listening to saturday morning radio when i was a child

6:27 am

JBV

I think the Beans int he Ears was either Pete Seeger or someone of that era

6:27 am

Haz1558

I know - just a gentle introduction to the day. 'The runaway train' was another one.

6:27 am

Chris P

when i was in hawaii, went past the area that puff the magic dragon was written about

6:28 am

Haz1558

Really? How nice to be able to say 'When I was in Hawaii'

6:28 am

Aloyisius

Happy Friday, all.. hundred bottles of beer on the wall, hundred bottles of beeeeeeeer

6:28 am

Chris P

sorry to name drop!

6:28 am

Haz1558

No, you're quite right to. You can share in Ata's smug.

6:28 am

Haz1558

Good morning Aloy!

6:29 am

Chris P

travelling is my thing - went to Zimbabwe & Cape Town this year

6:29 am

phandmd

Does anyone have a clue for the SA 5/14 this fine morning?

6:29 am

LoriP

g'd mornign Aloy!

6:29 am

Haz1558

Really? I can't imagine that many people are travelling through Zimbabwe. How did you find the country?

6:30 am

Aloyisius

(-: take one down and pass it around, 99 bottles of beer on the wall... you all are responsible for that song entering my head.. think I'll click on Haz's icon and erase the song, lol

6:30 am

Haz1558

sa5/14 - sa plus the start of the British spelling of what your car runs on (think wheels rather than fuel)

6:31 am

Chris P

we went to Victoria Falls in March, before the elections. The people were so friendly & welcoming, but very poor. Was an amazing experience, but was glad when we left.

6:31 am

phandmd

dont know what British call wheels

6:31 am

Haz1558

phand - then - sa plus an anagram of a word meaning to attempt.

6:31 am

Aloyisius

the rubber part, phand.. surrounding the rim

6:32 am

Haz1558

It's humbling to see people living in awful circumstances and yet being so friendly, I'm sure. We had two weeks in Tanzania - again very poor, but nothing on the scale of Zimbabwe. Cape Town must have been a contrast?

6:32 am

phandmd

Thnx, Haz, should have been able to figure that out with 1st clue. I was thinking maybe word was quite diff than the American word. Like truck/lorrie (did I spell that right?)

6:32 am

Haz1558

Lorry. Glad you got there.

6:32 am

Atalante

lorry

6:33 am

Chris P

It really was. Like being on a different planet in some respects.

6:33 am

phandmd

thnx

6:34 am

Haz1558

I think it leaves you feeling very grateful for what we have - and yet annoyed that we take everything for granted.

6:34 am

LoriP

***quietly asks again, in case she missed it, if there is a 6 letter word amog the t's***

6:34 am

Chris P

but having said that, we visited a township & that was very humbling too. I felt quite changed when we came back home.

6:34 am

phandmd

yes Lori

6:34 am

phandmd

TA

6:35 am

LoriP

Thanks phand, and g'd morning

6:35 am

Chris P

You had whole families living in a room about 6ft x 6ft

6:35 am

KatieMcG

In the Dom Rep it's the fact that the children look smarter and happier going to school and then you come home and they are all looking scruffy and dragging themselves there

6:35 am

Haz1558

We had South Africans with us in Zanzibar and they were very concerned about the high crime rate - a major problem. Nowhere is perfect.

6:35 am

phandmd

yw, Lori, g'morning to you to

6:35 am

phandmd

*too

6:36 am

Haz1558

That's what amazed me - families living in awful conditions and yet they emerged clean and fresh!

6:36 am

KatieMcG

Lori, love your icon, may adopt it as my life moto from I can only please one person a day

6:36 am

Chris P

I was quite upset coming back to our greedy, I want it now society. In some respects we deserve what's happening now - sorry back to the politics

6:36 am

LoriP

Ack! Thanks again phand. that word from my past misses, misses me again. Acky

6:36 am

Haz1558

And, as you say, Katie, children here just don't appreciate the gift of education.

6:37 am

sandyloo

and it is the greatest gift Haz

6:37 am

LoriP

Thanks Mrs Katie, I love it too. Glad ya' enjoyed it.

6:38 am

Atalante

a clue for that ta6?

6:38 am

LoriP

We are indeed very lucky here, and fail to realize it, even with our various regional disparities.

6:38 am

Haz1558

I agree, sandy. I know that it has made a tremendous difference for my family's circumstances in just a couple of generations.

6:38 am

LoriP

ta + 3rd letter from the 4/5 and an ending that's herblike, or a Mans name

6:39 am

Haz1558

ta6 - reverse what the milliner makes, start of your cat's name, Ata.

6:39 am

Atalante

oooo! dont recognise that one! ty haz and lorikins

6:39 am

KatieMcG

It's the greatest gift my parents have given to both my brother and I

6:39 am

Atalante

how else could I be smug about being a doctor? :P

6:40 am

Haz1558

Exactly, Ata!

6:40 am

LoriP

A world with a smug-less Ata? ***shudder***

6:40 am

sandyloo

I feel so sorry for our Aboriginals in our North Haz - my daughter teaches up there and they barely come to school and it is their downfall. the children have no chance in life because they are not educated- i think it is their only hope

6:41 am

Haz1558

My grandfather worked in the shipyard in Belfast - his grandson is a QC. I'm proud of both of them, but education has made the difference.

6:41 am

Chris P

I find it scary that so many children leave school and can't read or write

6:42 am

sandyloo

Our government is trying to limit the welfare to parents who do not send their children to school . Rudd is not following this lead

6:42 am

Haz1558

I was fascinated to visit a school in Kenya two years ago. There were 69 teenagers sitting in the class, absolutely polite and able to communicate perfectly in English, their second language. I watched a bit of a documentary with Ann Widdecombe and would have needed subtitles to understand what some of the girl gang members were saying to her.

6:43 am

sandyloo

The world is truly a fascinating place.

6:44 am

Haz1558

It really is! I just wish we had the opportunity to see more of it.

6:44 am

Atalante

can I be smug that I've lived in Greenland?

6:44 am

sandyloo

Sometimes I don't want to see more of it, it can be too sad

6:44 am

Haz1558

I think so. I bet the cold wiped away the smug, though?

6:45 am

Atalante

absolutely!

6:45 am

LoriP

Absolutely Ata! they snuck an ry word in on me. Now, only s's left. Yuck.

6:45 am

Chris P

that's somewhere my husband really wants to visit, ata

6:45 am

Atalante

as did the musk ox that crept up on you in the dark while you were trying to go to the loo

6:45 am

sandyloo

I can't imagine what Green land might be like

Guten Morgen, Babblers. This is good bye for me until lickety returns. Since I cannot print out the clues in BabAnon I cannot finish the grids any more. I did them almost two years straight every morning, This is a very sad day for me.

9:45 am

TrickyRic

MonkeyGames, play with the vowels

9:46 am

The th connects to one. I have the one with another vowel right after that one. Not sure how to play further because the only other vowel just continues the chain and does not work...

9:46 am

MonkeyGames

Am I looking for a th4? 5? 6? Can't be 7 or 8, have all o' them...

Is Intrigue and Nefarious dealings a rock band, or just a description of the government in general?

11:04 am

gorgeous icon haz

11:04 am

Haz1558

It's not a rock band, Vicuna. Peter Mandelson is a politician who, as one person put it this morning, has had more comebacks than Frank Sinatra. He's a weasel.

11:05 am

TrickyRic

Mmmmm chicken

11:05 am

Haz1558

Isn't it, kje? I saw di5 and thought of George.

11:05 am

Atalante

and truly nicknamed the Prince of Darkness

11:05 am

Vicuna

It makes a fabulous name for a rock band, though, doesn't it?

11:05 am

rururocks

11:06 am

Haz1558

It does indeed, Vi. Should I trademark it do you think?

11:06 am

MonkeyGames

ma6? Not boggy or like a femalehorse...

11:06 am

Vicuna

I shall be Intrigue, and you all can be Nefarious Dealings, the back-up singers in glittery black gowns.

11:06 am

Vicuna

Don't worry Haz. I'll lip sync.

11:06 am

Haz1558

There are only two ma6 words.

11:06 am

MonkeyGames

Ha 8 starts with a body part and then add what liskety makes for us when he's not away.

11:06 am

MonkeyGames

Oh. Thanks. Looking for what went wrong...

11:07 am

cybernan

sa 6, please? -- don't have either

11:07 am

Haz1558

I don't know, Vicuna. I reckon you would fit right into a rock band. They're not big on singing in tune, are they?

11:07 am

Haz1558

sa6 - add a shortened greeting to what constitutes a beach.

11:07 am

Vicuna

True, I could howl and smash guitars.

11:07 am

Haz1558

sa6/24 - a plural for sa5/14

11:08 am

MonkeyGames

ma4x6, ma5x1, and ma6x2. What am I missing and could someone clue it?

11:08 am

Haz1558

I think so. Every band needs a smasher.

11:08 am

cybernan

don't have the sa 5/14 either

11:08 am

Vicuna

Except I always hate to see musical instruments damaged. Maybe I could make a deal to buy up already ruined ones for smashing purposes.

11:08 am

rururocks

thanks for the ha 8

11:08 am

Haz1558

There's ma5/18 - looks like a golf club gone wrong

11:09 am

MonkeyGames

Sure thing!

11:09 am

Haz1558

sa5/14 - sa plus rearranged attempt

11:09 am

Anyone remember the video from "Art of Noise" where they destroy all sorts of instruments? I wept at that.

11:10 am

You're welcome.

11:10 am

down to 14 -- need a break to ease my stupidity

11:10 am

Way back int he early days of MTV, this was, when MTV actually played music videos.

11:10 am

MonkeyGames

OK, darn it, I guess I don't know enough about golf clubs...

11:11 am

Haz1558

I don't remember it, Vicuna, but those young men obviously weren't slapped often enough or fed enough gruel while they were growing up.

11:11 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, NM, there it is!

11:11 am

what you doey with spuds

11:11 am

gruel cures all

11:11 am

Vicuna

Gruel is cruel.

11:11 am

Gruel cures and prevents.

11:12 am

Vicuna

Gruel is gruelling.

11:12 am

rururocks

li 5/12?

11:12 am

Haz1558

That's the point, Vicuna. You can't have children enjoying childhood. They have to learn to be grateful to have reached adulthood and behave nicely.

11:12 am

Haz1558

li5/12 - li plus backwards American tin

11:12 am

Vicuna

Hm. That must be where I've been going wrong.

11:13 am

Haz1558

Well, I've tried hinting but you've ignored my pleas to put the children into 24 hour storage.

11:14 am

Vicuna

I think I'll have them tinned for freshness. We can open them at 21.

11:14 am

Atalante

you really should

11:14 am

Haz1558

24 hour storage and lumpy gruel brings most children into line.

11:14 am

rururocks

thanks

11:14 am

Haz1558

You're welcome ruru.

11:14 am

Vicuna

"Please, Mama, may I have some more?"

11:15 am

Haz1558

If they ask for more, you're obviously not making it properly.

11:15 am

Vicuna

That's it, get in the tin!

11:15 am

Atalante

or are just plain greedy

11:15 am

Haz1558

You've got the idea!

11:16 am

Haz1558

Children NEED boundaries.

11:16 am

rururocks

whew ...glad I grew up..

11:16 am

Haz1558

And 24 hour storage/incarceration in a tin sure provides boundaries.

11:16 am

Vicuna

Time to get back out the iron rod, I suppose.

11:16 am

Atalante

absolutely

11:17 am

Vicuna

Very small, cylindrical boundaries.

The iron rod is great for getting them squeezed into the tin.

11:18 am

Presumably my own untinned childhood is to blame for my weak character.

11:18 am

Another na5 - perhaps the singular nostril?

Absolutely. It's where the mistakes began, Vicuna.

11:18 am

But you have to be careful with the rod and the tin. You don't want to butter-churn the children.

11:19 am

Haz1558

Oh no. It's just for using like a shoe-horn.

11:20 am

Are we dealing with la creme de la creme or with creme de mer? Have you seen the price of that stuff?

11:20 am

Haz1558

cybernan - to the beach particles add a shortened greeting.

11:20 am

Vicuna

2 sa6/24's - one has goat-legs and the other starts with the beach

They're both sa6/24.

Sorry - ta6/21 - clued below but wrong number given.

11:24 am

Which reminds me one time my dad found a jar of brown sugar and vanilla facial scrub and didn't read the label closely enough. He spread it thickly on a piece of bread and ate it. He said it was good, too.

At least he wasn't poisoned. These days he'd be sueing the manufacturers for not having big enough labels.

cybernan

lol, ruru

11:27 am

cybernan

I think the only thing she's shot (off) is her mouth

11:27 am

Oh, this was only a couple of years ago, and he's not the suing type. But we did read the label pretty carefully after that and make sure there were no horrifying ingredients.

palindrome. My friend Larry Gonick (author of 'A Cartoon History of

Hi all! Fingers crossed. I have an immense and lengthy tale of woe about my trike and the expletives who sold it to me. I ran an ad a few hours ago telling much of the story and explaining that I have basically no money and so am looking for charity or to trade portraits for a cargo trike. Just got an e-mail in which he did not specifyt a price so I wrote back. Here's hoping he's not one of these idiots who thinks 800 Euros is a charity price! Fingers crossed! It'd be way coolif he wants portraits.

12:37 pm

MonkeyGames

Stuck for a D from the lower right. Left D greyed. I have: di5/6 combo, di4x3, di5. What am I missing and could someone maybe clue it?

we are all brilliant brains, claire (not!) here's my secret - pick up lots of clues from the chat, use the list whenever available beg for help when needed

4:36 pm

jacq

claire i come and play when everybody is occupied doing something else soemtimes playing into the wee small hours occasionally managing to finish a grid in a few hours

4:36 pm

clairebear872

interesting

4:36 pm

lynxxx

ClaireBear...you do get used to the uncommon words. If you are time strapped and really really want to finish you can use Lickety babble Clues (list below usually) and Morewords

4:36 pm

JBV

I play for about 20 minutes in the early a.m. before work, then cannot touch a computer til I get home, then usually another hour or so at night
