Hi sanch, Ireland has been described as a beautiful frame around a dull picture = what are your thoughts on that?

3:22 am

SaraY

PS I have been there twice and loved everything I saw, coastal and inland

3:22 am

rubyfoo

oooh, that's cold, sara. it is beautiful there with wild fuschia along the roads and black-faced sheep and GREEN!

3:23 am

SaraY

Not my thoughts - something I read

3:23 am

Soodlebum

SaraY - Whoever said that clearly has not been mixing in the right circles!! LOL

3:23 am

sanch_will

I'm from a dull inland county so...I can't help but agree!

3:23 am

sanch_will

I'm from a dull inland county so...I can't help but agree!

3:23 am

3:24 am

SaraY

My brother, sister-in-law and niece lived in Dublin for 2 years and loved it - he was Professor of Australian History at University College. They even brought back a bump who was born in Canberra - Naoise Dublin by name

3:27 am

Soodlebum

Its ok. Woo-hoo Rubes...wtg!!

3:27 am

rubyfoo

3:29 am

rubyfoo

my friends from Dub are all Gaelic speakers; their daughter even teaches it

3:29 am

Soodlebum

Naoise is a lovely name. I know a Naoise, and I am very fond of her.

3:30 am

sanch_will

Some Irish spellings are pretty odd to outsiders. I've a friend named Sadhbh

3:30 am

SaraY

One of my brother's students in Dublin was Naoise and he loved it from then. The legendary story is about Naoise and Deirdre - google will probably reveal all if you are interested

3:30 am

rubyfoo

3:30 am

SaraY

My Naoise is my nephew

3:30 am

sanch_will

Sive

3:31 am

3:44 am

Kallia

Good morning Haz and Flask!

3:44 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening to all.

FMitch

Great clue Haz as ever :)

3:44 am

sanch_will

Thanks haz!

3:45 am

Haz1558

You're welcome. It's an expectorant but I didn't think giving 'expectorant' as a clue would get you too far.

3:45 am

Kallia

well it is a great clue....Haz's always are...but my brain is still asleep I think :)

3:46 am

Haz1558

Go to the recesses of your brain to remember the Hawaiian goose babblet - ne**.

3:47 am

FMitch

Absolutely! mind you I was well please to have found the g8 by myself but would never have found that t8 w/o help.

3:47 am

Kallia

3:48 am

Atalante

there are some hawaiian geese in gloucestershire at the moment

3:48 am

Kallia

3:48 am

Haz1558

In the uncalved cows' weighlifting contest, the he7/44 he6/30 would probably win.

3:48 am

FMitch

Ata!!!!!!!!!! the wanderer returns :)

3:49 am

Haz1558

I suppose they're easily spotted with those loud shirts and shades.

3:49 am

FMitch

LOL

3:49 am

Atalante

Kallia

Kallia

3:50 am

FMitch

Ah Ata is no longer a lady of leisure and has no time for her babble buds :(

3:51 am

Atalante

3:51 am

Haz1558

Atalante

3:54 am

lynxxx

3:55 am

FMitch

Oh Ata he is adorable!

3:55 am

Haz1558

That pup is the epitome of all that a border collie should be. Bright, intelligent, cute. (Don't anybody look in the mirror, it's too depressing a comparison)

3:55 am

Haz1558

The Balsam one suits me fine, thanks, lynxxx.

3:56 am

Atalante

and she doesn't stay still , hence the dodgy photo!

3:56 am

FMitch

Haz I am worried about you as you are using the 'cute' word.

3:56 am

lynxxx

3:56 am

Atalante

Haz1558

You're welcome, Kallia.

4:00 am

Haz1558

Hello, scouser.

4:00 am

lynxxx

4:01 am

Haz1558

It's not a Bedlington terrier?

4:01 am

FMitch

Hi scouser

4:01 am

lynxxx

no Haz - thats a sheep!

4:01 am

Haz1558

It would get mixed up with the sheep and cause all sorts of problems.

4:02 am

Atalante

I mean a terrier-type-heinz57-type-dog-thing!

4:02 am

scouser

Hello Haz and FMitch . Is it a canine morning?

4:02 am

FMitch

lol lynxxx, they are a funny looking breed.

4:02 am

Atalante

I do dislike Bedlingtons though

4:03 am

Haz1558

We got onto the subject of dogs because Ata prefers to visit one than to talk to us.

4:03 am

FMitch

Look at this link scouser Ata is off to visit this sweetie: http://tinyurl.com/46x7skv

4:03 am

Haz1558

We're not miffed in the slightest.

4:04 am

Atalante

you're only miffed cos you can't see the sweetie too!

4:04 am

FMitch

No, not miffed at all, we don't care about being upstaged by a black and while waggy bundle of kisses. Not at all.

4:04 am

Atalante

I'll take lots of photos!

4:05 am

Haz1558

Will you take a photo of us to show the pup? Say we were asking after him?

4:05 am

Atalante

Not quite sure what Hobbit will think of the black and while waggy bundle of kisses

4:05 am

FMitch

Well I'll be ... there really are 109 words in the grid today but they did take some finding.

4:06 am

Atalante

In Mythology Ophiuchus is identified with the healer Asclepius, son of Apollo, who became so skilled that he brought the dead back to life. Hades later convinced Zeus to kill Asclepius with a lightning bolt. After he died he was then placed in the stars as a constellation.

Ok 6 more to find, back later.

8:23 am

turkey bacon molls :)

8:24 am

carleekat

•1 cup flour
•1/2 cup butter or margarine
•3/4 cup chopped pecans

•1 (8oz) package cream cheese, softened
•1 cup confectioners' sugar

•1 tub whipped topping, 32 ounces
•2 package (4oz) pistachio instant pudding (or any combination of puddings - divide milk in half to use for each flavour - layers if different kinds)
•3 cups cold milk

Preparation:
Combine flour, butter and pecans and press into a 9x13x2-inch baking pan. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes. Cool in pan on rack.
Combine cream cheese and confectioners' sugar and spread over pecan mixture. Spread half of the whipped topping over the cream cheese layer.

Mix both packages of pistachio together with milk. Spoon evenly over the whipped topping; spread until layer is even.
Spread remaining whipped topping on top and sprinkle with shaved semisweet chocolate or mini chocolate chips.

8:24 am

Hello Temple Owl. We certainly need facility with chemical names for these puzzles

9:31 am

Aloyisius

9:31 am

Aloyisius

roller coaster word, ty Annie

9:32 am

72 Temple Owl

9:32 am

scouser

Not a wordy answer, but a woody extract one!

9:33 am

scouser

It is related to a much more common chem tu10

9:35 am

scouser

I have found another non-Enable word in here: greb, which is normally used in the plural here as grebs meaning nasty floaty things seen in beer!

9:36 am

Aloyisius

all these e's and not an s to see

9:36 am

scouser

Yep - made a difficult grid

9:36 am

Aloyisius

ugh.. grebs

9:37 am

scouser

often used in "grebs and wickies" I have no idea about the distinction, but it was definitely cause for going back to the bar to get a change of beer.

9:37 am

MollyL

Sometimes, finding words in these grids, reminds me of when I was a kid and my friends and I used to make up secret languages. : P

9:37 am

72 Temple Owl

9:38 am

scouser

Yes MollyL especially as this grid has -eg in it, which we used as an inserted syllable in our semi-secret language which all us kids used.

Hi jmcnrick - does that abbreviate to jmc, or do you have full honours?

9:40 am

I once dropped a plateful of raspberry Pavlova with cream into my son's keyboard ! Discovered how to put said keyboard under the tap.

9:42 am

jmcnrick

what is pavlova? i was reading about it in a story and didn't now

9:42 am

Aloyisius

oh dear.. a rum and coke did one of my keyboards in

9:42 am

scouser

Hi jmc - go back in the Chatlog and look at what I said this morning about pooters.

9:43 am

scouser

Pavlova is meringue cream and fruit sauce.

9:44 am

jmcnrick

i was staying at someone's house as an honored speaker and spilled my coffee into their key board

9:44 am

rastapopolous

and is it called Pavlova because it makes you salivate, like Pavlova's dogs?

9:44 am

jmcnrick

ty scous

9:44 am

jmcnrick

lol rasta!

9:45 am

Aloyisius

ooch, jmc.. now that is embarassing

9:45 am

scouser

No because it looks like a ballerina's tutu when properly arranged - I think. More likely someone dedicated said pud to her.

9:45 am

jmcnrick

*sigh* i hear teh solar sales man coming back brb

9:46 am

scouser

Keyboards respond quite well to a good wash and then the hairdryer on full speed before anyone notices.

9:46 am

jmcnrick

*leaves wondering about arranging a sauce*

9:46 am

MollyL

Big dispute between Aussies and New Zealand folks about who "invented" Pavlova.

9:46 am

scouser

jmc - you stick the meringues together with a gooey sauce and cream.

9:47 am

Aloyisius

sounds like an ambitious dessert

9:47 am

crosshair

lol sine i have no idea what pavola is,it matters not who invented it:)

9:47 am

Aloyisius

ambitious and delicious

9:47 am

scouser

Pavlova = meringue mixture (egg white and sugar) with the addition of cornflour and vinegar. Bake slowly in a cool oven. Add whipped cream and fruit of choice.

9:49 am

Aloyisius

crossy trudges off to pb.. and me to the laundry room, brb

9:50 am

rastapopolous

piton

9:51 am

Haz1558

No, the vinegar reacts with the cornflour to give a crisp outside and a marshmallowy inside.

9:51 am

jmcnrick

no the vinegar makes the bubbles

9:51 am

rastapopolous

sorry

9:51 am

scouser

Aha - a debate has begun.

Aloyisius

crosshair

scrabby!

10:19 am

redturtlehead

Hi Scrabbs, lately it has been a lot of short grids, makes me think we are due for a biggie soon.

10:19 am

Scrabbler

150 or less is doable, but I like the enormous grids and then aim for 1/3-1/2 way

10:20 am

Aloyisius

ooh, haven't seen that te6.21 babblet in a while, ends with kitchen cookware

10:21 am

MollyL

Ooo boy...okay, what word total do you prefer in the grid?

10:21 am

crosshair

150-250

10:21 am

redturtlehead

I like the biggies, they are the most fun for me, as the words are easy for a while. Anything over 200 is great. but I have not had a lto of time...

10:22 am

rururocks

I like them around 250 - 300

10:22 am

crosshair

the big ones ,i just cherry pick the biggies and try for half way

10:22 am

redturtlehead

thanks ALoy!

10:22 am

Aloyisius

yw, red

10:23 am

crosshair

you are my hero ruru

10:23 am

Scrabbler

The grids < 100 words or so contain too many odd words, so not much fun.

10:24 am

wvteach

small ones have too many weird words

10:24 am

redturtlehead

indeed scrabbs, btu helpful for scrabble...

10:24 am

Scrabbler

Captain Ruru is a superhero for all Babblers!

10:25 am

10:26 am

Scrabbler

That's where the list + the chat help out.

10:26 am

I like the smaller grids. I can finish more quickly. Compulsive to finish.

10:26 am

Aloyisius

.. and I be done! any clue requests before I scoot?

10:26 am

mixi6

ty for the cookware clue that wasn't pot.

10:26 am

Haz1558

Hello, ruru.

10:57 am

72 Temple Owl

ty hoot. i MUST find sateen cotton wrinkle free or i will go insane. this is the first time i have done sheets and not been ablt to hang them this winter.

10:57 am

72 Temple Owl

i actually hung them in 4o degree weather

10:58 am

hootowl

well I bought a set this summer and the wrinkles are not a problem. Hust cover them with a spread

10:58 am

hootowl

no one needs to know except you!

10:58 am

MollyL

TO, Walmart has those sheets.

10:59 am

Haz1558

But we'd talk about her behind her back. 'Have you heard about TO's sheets?'

10:59 am

MollyL

Yes Haz. I heard they were a wrinkly mess.

10:59 am

hootowl

you could also dampen them and run them tru the dryer on the air setting

11:00 am

Haz1558

Shockingly wrinkly. I'm surprised she can show her face in public.

11:00 am

72 Temple Owl

they just came out of the dryer!

11:00 am

72 Temple Owl

are you saying my face is wrinkly?

11:00 am

hootowl

I know but the air setting won't set the wrinkles

11:00 am

Haz1558

Never! A wrinkly face would be acceptable, wrinkly sheets not so much.

11:01 am

72 Temple Owl

LOL well i have a saggy face and wrinkly sheets. I'm a mess! :)

11:01 am

rururocks

trying to avoid wrinkles here

11:02 am

72 Temple Owl

ty for the advice. i just need to have no wrinkles, even if the house is a mess the bedrrom is pristine. or I can't sleep.

11:02 am

Haz1558

So are you trying to avoid ironing them altogether or is a little ironing acceptable?

11:02 am

hootowl

when mine wrinkled I looked at them and said "oh well".

11:02 am

hootowl

Hasn't bothered me since

11:03 am

72 Temple Owl

shockingly, i don't know how to iron them. i had trouble ironing the pillowcases earlier

11:03 am

rururocks

you iron your pillow cases?

11:04 am

72 Temple Owl

i mean, they are so BIG, how do you iron them on a board?

11:04 am

rururocks

wow..

11:04 am

72 Temple Owl

I do. even when I hang them.

11:04 am

72 Temple Owl

and I use spray starch or sizing.

11:05 am

Haz1558

The top sheet, you fold into an acceptable size and iron that. The bottom sheet you fold into an acceptable shape and iron it. The pillowcases you just iron as they come and fold for storage.

11:05 am

jacq

fold them so that they become a square, then turn and open as needed

11:05 am

rururocks

Martha Stewart would be proud of you..

11:05 am

hootowl

why???

11:05 am

jacq

fitted sheets fold with the corners tucked into one another and they iron well that way

11:05 am

Haz1558

Because I like ironing and I like having them folded neatly for putting away in the airing cupboard.

11:05 am

periwinkle

ironing pillow casses and sheets? whatever for?

11:06 am

periwinkle

to each his/her own

11:06 am

rururocks

do they give classes in ironing somewhere that I don't know about?

11:06 am

hootowl

Doesn't the starch make them scratchy??

11:06 am

72 Temple Owl

wait, you fold them THEN iron them?

11:06 am

periwinkle

I will send my sheets,etc via air mail to Haz, ok?

11:06 am

Haz1558

I learned at my mother's elbow.

11:06 am

rururocks

*wonders if Haz got poked in the eye a lot*

11:07 am

jacq

some people like that, i used to do laundry for a woman who had horrible posh bedding with three different fabrics and one of those was stretchy it was awful, after i finished with it i told her i would burn her house down if she put it in the laundry again, it wouldn't even fold well because of the different weights

11:07 am

Haz1558

Yes, TO, I would fold double sheets into a narrower size. Okay, you're ironing more than one layer but it works out okay, especially with a good steam iron.

11:07 am

jacq

yes TO, fold it carefully then iron and turn etc

11:07 am

periwinkle

neer heard of an airing cupboard

11:07 am

72 Temple Owl

when my momn worked when she only had me, she sent the sheets to a chinese laundry. I will never forget how lovely the cool smooth starched sheets felt on a hot summer night.

11:07 am

periwinkle

never even

11:07 am

jacq

personally i think it takes the fresh laundry smell out of them especially line dried bedding

11:08 am

Haz1558

An airing cupboard = where the hot water storage tank stays, then shelves put so you can store laundry.

11:08 am

rururocks

oh. that explains it owll..

11:08 am

periwinkle

oh, ok

11:08 am

72 Temple Owl

well that is why peoplelove sateen sheets

11:09 am

72 Temple Owl

you are right jacs but they are in the dryer this time of year.

11:09 am

rururocks

I have to run.. bye you lovely people..I have to iron out some work details..lol

11:10 am

Haz1558

See you in a month's time, ruru.

11:10 am

jacq

take them out of the drier before they really dry and fold them then TO, then iron them a little later when they are cool

11:10 am

72 Temple Owl

Haz1558

This staff person would benefit from further training.

11:29 am

jmcnrick

my housekeeper (now retired) of 20 years could fold a sheet so neatly that it didn't need ironing

11:29 am

72 Temple Owl

je, do you feel your babbling has been adversely affected by this position?

11:29 am

Haz1558

Could you send her to TO to give her lessons?

11:30 am

Erda

Thank you, Haz -- that one must've been at the very bottom of Dr. God's garbage pail...

11:30 am

72 Temple Owl

i am beyond that. i wish there were still chinese laundries

11:30 am

jmcnrick

that is why i am quitting TO --I need more time to babble uninterrupted

11:30 am

hey there molls...almost have my sex in the pan done :)

1:12 pm

hurshy

well, as a youngish woman, i tend to wear low-cut jeans, because it is apparently the only acceptable style. but often my shirts are only long enough to meet these jeans in the middle if i hold perfectly still. and in the winter, if part of my tummy or back gets exposed, it is chilly. so i was thinking that leotards might be a good solution. but then i was thinking, what about using the bathroom? that would be a pain. so what i want to know is, do they make leotards with a sort of onesie spin to them, snapping closed at the bottom, and if so, how would i find such an item?

1:13 pm

i've been looking at dancewear stores online but i can't find any mention of the unconventional feature i'm looking for.

1:14 pm

Thulsa

wild

1:15 pm

hurshy

i would just think that at some point dancers would have said, hey, i don't want to have to take this whole thing off every time i have to pee.

1:16 pm

hurshy

aha, i have found one! in this case at least, it is termed "snap crotch bodysuit" - in case anyone else wants to find such a thing

1:17 pm

MollyL

Yeah Hursh, I was going to say search with "snap crotch".

1:18 pm

MollyL

You can also find extra long shirts that will tuck way down in the pants. That can get bunchy though.

1:18 pm

carleekat

there we go....and i have my turkey bacon pieces all cooked for my twice baked loaded potatoes to go with my pulled bbq chicken that you pour over them

1:18 pm

hurshy

yes, bunchy, and also hard to find sometimes.

1:18 pm

hurshy

ugh, unfortunately the term "snap crotch" mostly turns up lingerie!

1:19 pm

carleekat

but if you find some of the REALLY thin cotton ones....( see through) or long silk underwear ( hunting stores)

1:19 pm

Vicuna

Just Say No to low-cut jeans! They are uncomfortable, unflattering, and impractical! Just 'cause "they" say they're the only acceptable style doesn't mean you have to be a chilly-bellied lemming and go along with it!

1:20 pm

Vicuna

(errr... hi, all!)

1:20 pm

hurshy

they are not unflattering... certainly not compared to "mom jeans" anyway...

1:20 pm

frogface

gooooood evening again fellow babblers xxx

1:20 pm

sadie52

hi VIcuna

1:20 pm

sadie52

hi frogface

1:20 pm

carleekat

i prefer them vic..but i have due reason...I have a lower abdominal emergency surg scar..and there nerve damage there..rag rise or high rise rub and its like pins and needles across my abdomin all day long

1:20 pm

Kazzer99

hi Vi - i take you u dont like jeans that let your bum hang out

1:20 pm

frogface

hi vicuna

1:21 pm

frogface

hi sadie

1:21 pm

carleekat

and i cant type atm ...clearly

1:21 pm

Vicuna

Ah well, I guess that's a matter of opinion. I think anything that makes Kate Moss look like she has muffin top is unflattering.

1:21 pm

carleekat

hi froggie

1:21 pm

frogface

hi carlee xx

1:22 pm

hurshy

well you have a point there vi :)

1:23 pm

Kazzer99

i must admit i prefer trousers that cover all my essentials - up to chin if possible! I had a lovely day today - went to Plymouth to spend the day with my son who is 32 today

1:24 pm

MollyL

I have no desire to wear low cut jeans that require snap crotch shirts. That is just too much work.

1:25 pm

sadie52

sounds like a nice day Kazzer

1:25 pm

Vicuna

I just want to be able to sit, stand, lean over and pick things up AND walk in my clothes. But fashion says I can't expect to do all that and also be in style. SO I pick uncool. That's just my choice! lol

1:25 pm

frogface

frankly i rue the demise of the bussel myself

1:26 pm

sadie52

I personally dont care if im in style all that much i want to be comfortable and able to do things with out clothes showing too much

1:26 pm

frogface

give me a good old whalebone corset and stays anytime

1:27 pm

EvaNadine

hurshy -- such bodysuits were quite popular in the 90s, so i wouldnt be too surprised if they start resurfacing soon.

the main reason dancers dont wear them is that wit that much movement, they have a tendency to come undone. (not that i would know from personal experience or anything...)

1:27 pm

Vicuna

Now, see, I think stays violates my comfort and mobility rule.

1:27 pm

MollyL

I pretty much follow the beat of my own drum when it comes to what I wear.

1:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

i favor mid rise jeans

1:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

sit just below the waist

1:28 pm

MollyL

Oh come on Eva, tell us the story.

1:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

2:29 pm

movieman

Update on cinema visits:

Saw 127 Hours and the Green Hornet today

2:29 pm

Judi

Ooh! I really want to see 127 hours! Did you see True Grit, Movieman?

2:30 pm

lynxxx

127 hours - Have to look that one up - Thanks

2:31 pm

Judi

127 hours isn't here yet. Of course, you could see Yogi Bear in 9 out of 10 theaters though. Puke.

2:31 pm

movieman

Not yet Judi, it's not out here until next month

2:31 pm

lynxxx

saw The Kings Speech last week - extremely good!

2:32 pm

movieman

Yogi Bear looks like just another Scooby-Doo to me

2:32 pm

Judi

It is excellent! Jeff Bridges is oustanding, as is the young girl.

2:32 pm

rbud

Judi, recipe in carlee's profile - to me, it couldn't qualify as sex in a pan if there *wasn't* chocolate involved, lol!

2:32 pm

movieman

King's Speech is next on the agenda for me

2:32 pm

Judi

The Fighter was also very good.

2:32 pm

Hi everyone. I wish you could all be watching our news broadcasts - so heartening after our terrible floods in Queensland. There are thousands of people turning up with mops, brooms etc. and being carried off in busloads to help with the massive cleanup. The filthy mud is just everywhere, and is contaminated. Our ex-primeminister (a Queenslander himself) was wading around barefoot helping people evacuate, then had to spend last night in hospital with a foot infection! But it is amazing to watch a whole city of people pitching in, helping total strangers.

7:22 pm

Bugsaw

Well done Australia! I love those kinds of stories

9:21 pm

It's odd - I've looked in on this grid twice in past 24 hours to give clues and not been greeted or acknowledged either time. I must have become invisible.

9:22 pm

geli01

...

9:23 pm

Jacula

gel - get your brain into gear. There are 109 words to be found.

9:23 pm

Hello, not invisible. I've been off using resources so no chat available.

9:23 pm

Some words were obvious and some absolutely obscure. Lots of ghost words, ones that float in and out and are not used in our world.

9:24 pm

stidgmere

nice double oos and ees for your finding plesure.

9:25 pm

Jacula

Hi Stid's Mum. I got cut off anyway earlier. One and a half hour electricty power-out. I was just getting ready to take a table into the front porch, the lightest place, in order to prepare dinner when the porch was filled by my next-door neighbour, who was wondering if everyone had no electricity. By the time she left, the power had come back on again.

9:26 pm

Jacula

Hi Dan!

9:26 pm

stidgmere

Friday night--perhaps people are out to dinner and a show as a winter treat. I'm going to read a little by the fireside and rest my brain. Power outages, we have them too, not a favorite activity.

9:27 pm

dan2bit

stuck at 65 - can I have the stats for the lone H

9:27 pm

Jacula

I've still got all my lamps and candles, plus my Gran's supply of candles from the power cuts we used to get back in 70s due to the miners' strikes.

9:28 pm

stidgmere

Keep warm and enjoy the blessings of the modern world. The h is a four letter word ha that is much like a rabbit.

9:29 pm

geli01

I'm already bored with this game, no wonder I only get on here once in a great while. That's it for me- I'm off to eat some ice cream!

9:29 pm

Jacula

But he has longer ears and has a black spot on the back of each of them. He goes 'mad' in March. ha4.5 clue.

9:29 pm

stidgmere

I have a supply of candles, too. My husband thinks I like the power failures so I can play with matches. I just like candles. Amazing how much light one candle gives. We overdo with electric lights.

9:29 pm

stidgmere

Did you get the ha Dan?

9:29 pm

dan2bit

I need the H that is by itself in the right column

9:29 pm

stidgmere

Oh. Not the rabbit.

9:30 pm

Jacula

stidge - but don't you think it's rather too amazing how much light one candle can give in an old Hollywood creepy film?

9:30 pm

stidgmere

It's the he 4, 8? Means the thing has some mass. Heavy.

9:30 pm

jmbdobie2

pian

9:30 pm

dan2bit

nope have that one too

9:31 pm

stidgmere

Well, I don't like creepy films. The music always gets me very tense. Is jmb in the pb?

9:31 pm

dan2bit

and the 6/7 that extend from it

9:31 pm

Jacula

Also, why do the people being chased/scared by something in a horror movie always rush past the obvious exit and go up to the attic or down into the cellar/secret tunnels?

9:31 pm

stidgmere

is it the he 6, 30? Someone said it is a calf.

9:31 pm

dan2bit

that's it tx stid!

9:32 pm

Jacula

jmb IS in thePB and is, as I type, being forced down onto a bed of nails.

9:32 pm

stidgmere

Why do they keep running? The stamina of the actors is amazing. Why not stop and ask what the chasers want?

9:33 pm

Jacula

stidge - you stop and ask if something that was obviously out to kill you was in pursuit??

9:33 pm

stidgmere

Oh, poor jmb. You're welcomed dan. took some doing but you stuck with it. Like gh** on bread.

9:33 pm

stidgmere

It's a movie, they aren't going to kill you!!!!

9:33 pm

Jacula

LOL, stidge.

9:34 pm

Jacula

But, in movies people do get killed.

9:34 pm

stidgmere

Meanwhile, in the pb with jmb. A little shot of something warming on this cool night?

9:34 pm

stidgmere

Movie people at the end of the day pack up their bags and go home. Not very dead.

9:35 pm

Jacula

That's a flamethrower played on the tips of all the spikes that are now impaling her on the bed of nails, is it? LOL

9:36 pm

Jacula

stidge - Yes, I know movies are not real, unless they are snuff movies, but I was talking about the ridiculous plot lines.

9:36 pm

Jacula

Sorry for the PB storyline! As a writer, I can't help myself. LOL

9:37 pm

stidgmere

Oh, Jacula, I'm sure you're right which is why I choose my movies carefully. We have Netflix which allows me to choose the movies. Right now they send the DVDs in the mail and they get here overnight.

9:37 pm

Jacula

However, the ridiculous plotlines happen because, if the pursued did rush out of the nearest exit, film over!

9:38 pm

Jacula

stidge - you don't have SKY then?

9:38 pm

stidgmere

I thought the bed of nails was a bit over-the-top. So, I just piled up loads of comforters on the nails and pictured our friend relaxing blissfully. Not a writer, just an imaginer. No, what is SKY?

9:39 pm

Jacula

It's the same with romance movies. A man or a woman can give the worst chat-up line ever, but if the bait's not taken somewhere along the line, again, film over.

9:40 pm

Jacula

SKY is a digital TV provider, stidge. You can gets all sorts of channels that let you see films, old and new, for free, and reruns of old TV series etc.

9:41 pm

Jacula

I don't believe, as a recently retired teacher, Stidge, that you've never heard of Sky.

9:42 pm

dan2bit

ge5?

9:42 pm

stidgmere

I think we have something like SKY but the movie choices I know about have some expense to it. The Netflix has a flat monthly rate. It is true, I have not heard of sky. There is something called Cloud over here. Maybe the same technology.

9:42 pm

Jacula

Your young pupils must have watch The Simpsons at the very least.

9:43 pm

stidgmere

ge 5, 16. ge *** (ends like a cheer).

9:43 pm

Jacula

ge5 = Hebrew word for one twentieth of a shekel.

9:43 pm

dan2bit

tx again stidg

9:43 pm

stidgmere

My kids didn't talk about the Simpsons and it was on regular cable and/or dish networks.

9:44 pm

stidgmere

One twentieth? So a shekel is like a dollar. I learn so much just hanging out here.

9:45 pm

Jacula

Stidge - did you follow the school meals thing in USA, fronted by English chef Jamie Oliver?

9:48 pm

stidgmere

I'm going to say good night. Thank you Jacula for the conversation. Seems like Dan is tending to grid business and we're keeping up the chat. No, I haven't seen the report by Jamie Oliver. School meals are a difficult thing. So many children in my school had free lunches but they were used to eating fast food so nourishing food was often not eaten. The menus were carefully thought out and the food was well-prepared. I occasionally ate the meals to check on quality and because it was convenient. I also know they had lots of calories so did not make a habit of school lunches.

9:49 pm

Jacula

Okay, stidge. I see you got the gist of the fact that the school meals board had got it totally wrong re nutrition.

9:49 pm

Jacula

'Night Stidge. Sleep well.x

9:50 pm

mkg

stuck on ne 5. any clues?

9:51 pm

stidgmere

Thank you Jacula, you are in my thoughts and prayers also.

9:51 pm

Jacula

ne + ot the bottom, mkg.

9:51 pm

crosshair

just reading up on your school meals,nutrition etc..my son just told me that they have instituted 'snack stations" for those that need it/they contain juice boxes,nutri rain cerial bars and fresh fruit such as apples or oranges and the kids can grab something there whenever they wish

9:51 pm

Jacula

Thank you, stidge.x

9:52 pm

Jacula

crossy - it sounds good, but check out the juice boxes for sugar and additives. Also check out the nutrigrain cereal bars for the same. It's a cop out, probably.

9:53 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

9:53 pm

Jacula

The schools just keep on using pre-prepared, chemical and other crap laden stuff to save on time and money.

9:54 pm

Jacula

Hi jmc and crossy.

9:54 pm

crosshair

well,unless we are prepared to stand there and pulp the apples and or oranges into juice ourselves and make the cerial bars in our own kitchens,it is a good start at least

9:54 pm

Jacula

The only good thing I saw in your snack stations post, crossy, was fresh fruit.

9:55 pm

jmcnrick

better than soda

9:55 pm

crosshair

it is better than having them scarf french fries and gravy in the caf like we all used to do

9:55 pm

Jacula

It's a start, crossy, but you should still look into it further. Kids are our future, let's not fill them with crap.

9:56 pm

crosshair

stuff we used to eat in the 60,s and 70,s..we are getting there

9:56 pm

Jacula

crossy - I didn't do that.

9:56 pm

jmcnrick

po6/21!!!

9:57 pm

Jacula

The diet in the war years (WW2) was actually more nutritious in some ways. At least for those who lived in the country and could grow vegs not covered with soot and catch rabbits etc., for fresh meat.

9:58 pm

Jacula

jmc - Irish hooch, brewed from potatoes.

9:58 pm

Jacula

Of course, those in the country could get eggs, too.

9:58 pm

jmcnrick

no no i think it is canadian french fries covered with gravy and cheese

9:59 pm

Jacula

jmc - my other half would think those sounds lovely. To me, they sound horrible.

10:00 pm

Jacula

Nothing can beat proper British chips. LOL

10:00 pm

crosshair

that is quebec poultine jmc..lol at least we do not deep fry oreo cookies and mars bars lol

10:00 pm

mkg

hi all. need a clue for ne 5 please. sorry if it was clued already.

10:00 pm

mkg

oh i see the clue below. thanks. got it.

10:01 pm

Jacula

I heard about another surprising deep fried thing a while ago, but can I remember what it was now? No!

10:01 pm

crosshair

and deep frying whole turkeys..bizzare!

10:01 pm

dan2bit

wireforks! tx stidge, Jac and all cluers

10:02 pm

Jacula

crossy - I would have thought that a hazardous thing to attempt.

10:02 pm

Jacula

Well done, Dan!

10:02 pm

crosshair

it seems to be from the videos i have watched

10:03 pm

jmcnrick

ah but deep fried dill pickles are heaven

10:03 pm

crosshair

think i will leave that to my american friends..

10:03 pm

crosshair

deep fried pickles???!!

10:04 pm

jmcnrick

dip in batter and fry YUM!

10:04 pm

crosshair

good grief

10:04 pm

Shirlockc

deep fried coca cola was a new thing supposedly

10:04 pm

crosshair

and how does one fry coca cola??

10:05 pm

jmcnrick

hmmm never had that. . .it or out of the can?

10:05 pm

Jacula

I second the question, crossy.

10:05 pm

crosshair

i have also heard of them doing deep fried butter balls

10:05 pm

mkg

need te 6 21 please.

10:05 pm

Shirlockc

http://www.wftv.com/foodnews/9789814/d
etail.html

10:06 pm

Shirlockc

supposedly coke flavor batter then topped with coca cola syrup

10:06 pm

Jacula

All that frying is making my veins feel fat-filled.

10:06 pm

jmcnrick

te+vowell+not a pot

10:06 pm

Jacula

Hi Shir. YUCK!

10:06 pm

crosshair

ahh ,coke flavourd batter

10:06 pm

Shirlockc

doesn't sound all that appetizing to me either but was supposedly a big hit at one of those state fairs

10:07 pm

Jacula

I love a bacon sandwich, with the bread wiped in the bacon fat to grease it before the bacon goes on.

10:07 pm

jmcnrick

that is flavored batter not the same thing

10:07 pm

mkg

ty got it.

10:07 pm

jmcnrick

probably Georgia the home of coca cola

10:07 pm

crosshair

my mum used to fry bread in the bacon grease

10:07 pm

Jacula

But all that deep-frying things that should not be fried makes me feel ill.

10:08 pm

Jacula

crossy - fried bread is lovely with bacon sausage, eggs, black pudding, tomatoes,mushrooms etc.

10:09 pm

Jacula

But, for a bacon sandwich, you just wipe the bread over the bacon fat in the pan.

10:09 pm

crosshair

yup,we used to have eggs english style,fried tomatoes,home fries and fried bread and a nice cuppa

10:09 pm

jmcnrick

i assure you that deep fried pickles are tasty

10:09 pm

jmcnrick

mmmm fried green tomatoes

10:10 pm

Jacula

It's not that bad a meal, nutrionally, Crossy, so long as you have manual labour to do afterwards and you don't eat it more than once a week.

10:10 pm

Shirlockc

one of my fav fried is scallion pancakes, but only the way my mom makes them

10:11 pm

Jacula

Why would you want to fry pickles? I've got a lovely jar of cold pickled cucummber, onion and dill in the fridge. it's fantastic with cheese.

10:12 pm

jmcnrick

my favorite summer supper is fried green tomatoes, fried okra, fried eggplant, sliced tomatoes, sliced cukes in vinegar and grilled corn

10:12 pm

Jacula

I make chutneys and serve them with either cheese or cold meat, left over from a roast, with chips (the British kind).

10:12 pm

jmcnrick

of course with corn bread

10:12 pm

Minveryork

Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?

10:12 pm

Jacula

Hi Min.

10:12 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

10:13 pm

crosshair

sigh..my mum lest when i was 8 and one of the few thing i can remember is her blonde hair done jackie kennedy style,her english brekkies and a game with a button on some thread she taught me,you pull the thread a certain way and it spins and whistle like a top..lol do not know why i said that but it came strongly to my mind just now

10:13 pm

Jacula

corn bread isn't something we really do in UK.

10:13 pm

jmcnrick

because cold chicken is different from hot chicken

10:13 pm

jmcnrick

mores the pity jac

10:14 pm

Jacula

crossy - I remember my Dad showing me that thread and button thing, now you mention it.

10:14 pm

Jacula

jmc - not really, re the bread. Have you any idea how many wonderful forms of bread there are in Europe?

10:15 pm

jmcnrick

did you know that Jack Kennedy's assasination nearly destroyed the turkey farmers?

10:15 pm

jmcnrick

but corn bread is another wonder form of bread

10:15 pm

Jacula

It did, jmc? Why was that?

10:16 pm

Jacula

jmc - I'm sure it is. But check out our European breads.

10:16 pm

jmcnrick

people were so depressed that they didn't buy turkeys for thanksgiving the # 1 sales day for turkeys

10:16 pm

Jacula

Oh!

10:17 pm

jmcnrick

oh i agree jac i had an oyster po'boy in New Orleans with wonderful crispy french bread! I still think about it

10:17 pm

crosshair

i have started enjoying the thin french baugettes of late

10:17 pm

Shirlockc

that's an interesting fact, jmc

10:18 pm

Jacula

I heard a funny thing about British firm Halfords earlier. In the main, they sell bicycles. They've reported a huge loss yesterday, due to a downturn of bicyulce buying in December (when the UK was ice-bound). ROFLOL. They should have put skis on the wheels.

10:18 pm

jmcnrick

i learned it when i was talking with one of the 10 mormons who refused to fight in wwII and who was a turkey farmer

10:19 pm

crosshair

well,if the mormons will not fight,they can bandage those who do lol

10:19 pm

Jacula

Only 10 Mormons refused to fight?

10:20 pm

jmcnrick

not everyone agrees with that crossy

10:20 pm

jmcnrick

only 10 in WWII

10:20 pm

jmcnrick

such a sweet man

10:20 pm

Jacula

10 out of how many, jmc?

10:21 pm

jmcnrick

hundreds of thousands i would guess jac

10:21 pm

crosshair

my family fought,my uncle fought and my grandfather fought and many lives in london were saved as a result,should they have fought,they were fire watchers anbd orginized the fire brigades in london during the v2 rocaket attacks

10:22 pm

crosshair

i cannot judge them now,how can i,when i have not judged myself yet?

10:22 pm

jmcnrick

i understand the feeling crossy but some people believe that we need to intervene sooner and with less violence

10:22 pm

jmcnrick

i do not judge those who fought

10:23 pm

jmcnrick

any way not to digress on peace issues--just telling you how i learned about the turkey farms

10:24 pm

crosshair

they chose not to stand there and die

10:24 pm

crosshair

but anyways ,best i not get going on that

10:24 pm

Jacula

I wonder about some British regiments now. Some people aren't meant to fight, but may have an equallu important role elsewhere in the peace-keeping effort. However, some regiments think it's okay to drive a man who freezes under fire to suicide. Why can they not just let him leave? I can see, sort of, their arguement, about how a man who can't shoot back is a danger to other soldiers. But, aas I said, just let him leave. Why does the army still tolerate bullies?

10:24 pm

crosshair

yes,back to the turkeys

10:25 pm

Jacula

Yes, let's get back to safe ground.

10:25 pm

jmcnrick

:-)

10:25 pm

crosshair

many live depend on unified action in combat jacula,they are trained din boot camp to obey without thinking just because of this,if one man hesitates many die

10:26 pm

jmcnrick

some would choose to die rather than to kill but that is not the same as standing taking it

10:26 pm

jmcnrick

okay i will leave since i inadvertantly started this

10:26 pm

jmcnrick

*poof*

10:27 pm

Jacula

Which is why, crossy, the army prefers the 'thick' rank and mass cannon fodder. They don't think quick enough to think about the consquences of standing up to return fire.

10:27 pm

crosshair

sorry i will not stand there and let someone put a bullet in my head on principle

10:27 pm

Jacula

Oh, okay, jmc. Goodnight. Sleep well.

10:28 pm

crosshair

and i best leave before this gets out of hand ..good night alll..poof

10:28 pm

Jacula

I don't think we are argueing are we Crossy?

10:29 pm

Jacula

Oh! Crossy left, too, before I had a chance to say more about the types of soldiers. So, I guess he thinks I was calling him stupid. I wasn't! But this is a contentious issue and probably always will be.

10:31 pm

Jacula

I see too much of this with soldiers lost in Ireland and Iraq. Young men I knew as kids, and all different.

I need that rh 6/21 word and te 8/50 word jmcnrick.

10:36 pm

Jacula

Young mean were duped, mostly due to being uneducated, in WW1 and we all know the results of that. They were more canny when WW2 started, but still too many unneccesary deaths. Wars that followed, had far more savvy people in them, but still a share of cannnon fodder, recruited.

10:37 pm

Jacula

*men, not mean.

10:37 pm

Minveryork
