7s:
E7/28: a kind of beetle, or a tiny elongated structure that forces the dispersal of spores by the absorption of moisture. Sounds more like someone who is very pleased, though.
E7/36: tough, wiry grass
F7/48: abundant rockforming mineral
F7/40: he won't sink
P7/36: he better behave
P7/36: conditional releases from prison
P7/36: they keep the vicinity safe by doing them
P7/36: inferior racehorses, but they sound more like they do something with serving food

Good morning. This is such a disasterous waste of time. How does one tackle that number of words.
Help for method PLEASE.
4:35 am
Chessy

Alleyn
1. assemble coffee/food/music
2. go for all the words immediately obvious
3. search log/dictionaries for clues n tips
4. do something else for a bit
5. start at 1. again
good luck, :)
4:40 am
Alleyn

Thanks!

6:11 am
Anj

OK, a little help please :/ I'm monkeying the Ts at the moment for want of something better to do. I just tried about 10 diff combos for an assortment of 4s & 5s - no joy. But there's no other perms available..so I tried them again and this time they were acceptable. Someone, please, is this usual (as I don't monkey very often) or should I be committed? :'(
6:13 am
Jacula

Hang on, Anj., I was just keying in all the words I've found on paper. That's 187. I'll see how many t's I've got.
6:13 am
sprite

You must have made typos while monkeytyping the first time, Anj... quite a performance, lol!
6:14 am
lola100

Anj, thank you! Thought I was going mad, I'm sure that happened with one of my S7's.....
6:15 am
Jacula

Ony 13 t's out of 35 so far. Dunno if I can help, Anj. Have you got the Spanish bull ones?
6:15 am
Anj

That's what is scaring me Sprite :( If my typing becomes musch worse my next job will be with The Grauniad...
6:15 am
macadam

Yes it happens to me.Sometimes it doesn`t show a score,which indicates something is not quite righr other times the points vanish after a while and refresh causes a vanishing act.You can then retype and the words stay.I`m easily confused anyway so it doen`t help9Deep sigh)
6:17 am
lola100

Hi Sprite :)

Mom, was that 9 deep sighs?! Maybe it's time for a coffee break? :)
6:17 am
Anj

Thanx Jac. I thinks so I have 32 Ts so far. I just seem to be going round in circles even tho' i'm using a methodical approach :/ There's only one answer.

Oh Looooooolaaaaaaaa honey. Any danger of a coffee babe??
6:17 am
Karys

I'm fed up with the 't's....going to make some lunch instead
6:19 am
lola100

You can have a coffee when you've finished your T's :)
6:19 am
macadam

The kettle is on.New huge kettle I should say for mass brewing.Choc digetives too then I`ll feel better.Help yourselves everyone.
6:19 am
sprite

I listed the Ts somewhere in the log, so if you can find which ones you can't find, I might be able to help you find them. :)
6:20 am
lola100

Thanks mom :)

Do you get caramel ripple digestives out here?
6:20 am
Anj

That should do the trick Macadam.
Lola :P lol
Thanx Sprite - will give you a shout if I crash & burn again :)
6:24 am
macadam

I can`t say I`ve ever noticed caramel ripple ones.It could be because I wouldn`t buy them so the eyes pass them by.
6:24 am

But nobody asked for the P's and S's? They look like the mean ones to me. Not likely I'll get to do them, but....
6:43 am

Oh!:-( Think I might have to give this a rest for now. The water board chaps have arrived to fix my outside stop tap cover (which they originally broke) and they're cutting the pavement up just yards from my office window. The racket's horrendous.

Always babe!!! I am missing an h5 and an h6. I am assuming it is a sing. and a pl. but I can't see it in the grid and I can't find it in a2z. Just wondered if you'd had the same problem or if I was being a ditz again!
8:25 am
Chessy

I've got same 'h' problem lola.. can't find them anywhere
8:27 am

Lola, found them. first bit is anagram of holy headgear, add e, then plural ...

Got them too - do you want a breakdown Lola?
Or are you having one lol

Chessy- you are a star! However, if I forget that stupid word one more time I will have to punish myself!
8:33 am

Alleyn, Brandyjack posted the full 2nd letter breakdown earlier on. Sprite also posted all the Ts with their points That's a good start :)
Other than that we're at your service :D

Miss M, it's not in the Enable dictionary yet, that's all. There's a few like that :/

8:51 am
Jacula

Oh my, I'm glad there isn't a 2nd 'l' in this grid. If there was it would lead to an fe7/40 & 8/55 that people would have a terrible time trying to describe politely. Mind you, might have been fun watching them try!;-)

Lola, I always spend whatever it takes on maintenance and it's regularly serviced, that's why it hurst a bit. The mechanic who's doing the word says it's the first one he's had go like that in 10 years :/ No warning or anything. Oh well...will change the clutch at the same time as that's an engine out job too so I can kill two birds... It's going to smart a bit tho'

P8/50: they better behave
S8/55: he better not become one of the F8/55

F7/48: abundant rockforming mineral
F7/40: he won't sink
P7/36: he better behave
P7/36: conditional releases from prison
P7/36: they keep the vicinity safe by doing them
P7/36: inferior racehorses, but they sound more like they do something with serving food
P7/36: they give access to spaces or information
R7/48: puts on the market again
R7/48: put it back in form or in another form
S7/28: they put things on roofs

Go Lotti! Today subtraction, tomorrow quadratic equations :)

Miyavi, that's called jealousy lol. Inside every teacher there's a big firework waiting to go off and colour the place up a bit :D
11:55 am
Miyavi_fan

heh...I think it's because he's bald, personally! Also my form tutor hates it, but if she says something to me, I will point out that beards are not all that attractive on women
11:57 am
Anj

hahahahaha Miyavi! That's going to get you in biiiiiiiig trouble girl. Smile sweetly and just think it to yourself lol
11:59 am
Miyavi_fan

hm...I'll give it a try, Anj, but it may not be that easy. When it comes to smiling sweetly, I'm a bit out of practise. Evil grins are more my style...bwahahaha...

Anj.. hi you! Am plugging along here..as is my wont. With not much schooling, I manage just fine..for the most part. Am thinking of dying my hair now..GREEN.

12:05 pm
Miyavi_fan

Wahey, Liana, glad to hear I've inspired you! Go girl!

But Anj, if your cousin is in any way like you then she may not be as subhuman as most teachers! Either that or the teachers at my school are just mad. Which would explain soooo much...
12:08 pm

1:43 pm

1:45 pm
Anj

Oh right. Opportunity I guess. Never in the right place at the right time :/ I'm a bit of a conundrum as well lol. A mixture of affection, support & independence. Mayve they forgot to make me an oppo :(
1:48 pm
lola100

Miyavi- not sure if you meant L or i? There are only two i words, il4/4 and is4/4, which do you need?
1:49 pm

1:50 pm

Lola, I live in hope...well ok, Bristol, but I can dream :)
1:52 pm
lola100

Okay, the il4/4 has to do with the small intestine, which is disgusting so we'll go with another type of clue! You do drama right? Have you heard of Homer's il***? Sounds like that without the last letter.
1:53 pm
Anj

Jera, how many Ps are you missing??
1:53 pm
lola100

Jera- LOL! I try that but myself never listens to me!
1:53 pm

1:56 pm
Miyavi_fan

thanks...wait. How many W's are there? If it's four then that's one obstacle down.
1:56 pm
Jera

yes, 4 W's are plenty...
1:56 pm
Anj

Fordo, el5/10 - make proud or joyful
el6/18 - add an R to the end
el7/28 - do the plural thing
1:57 pm
Miyavi_fan

Yay! *boogies*
1:57 pm
Jera

But they're not the PS words from the other day...
1:57 pm

chessy as5 apparently means horned vipers, but it is spelled like the clear jelly you use in vegetable/meat molds except for the last letter
3:02 pm
Anj

Jera, it features your first sp4/6 (as in wooden beam)
fe plus 'a letter than comes before Paso' plus your sp4/6
The fe7 is the plural :)
3:02 pm
sfneil

Jera, fe7 and 8: any of a group of hard crystalline minerals that consist of aluminum silicates of potassium or sodium or calcium or barium -- makes up about 60 per cent of the Earth's crust
3:02 pm

Oggy, 7s from an eralier post:

E7/28: a kind of beetle, or a tiny elongated structure that forces the dispersal of spores by the absorption of moisture. Sounds more like someone who is very pleased, though.
E7/36: tough, wiry grass
F7/48: abundant rockforming mineral
F7/40: he won't sink
P7/36: he better behave
P7/36: conditional releases from prison
P7/36: they keep the vicinity safe by doing them
P7/36: inferior racehorses, but they sound more like they do something with serving food
P7/36: they give access to spaces or information
R7/48: puts on the market again
R7/48: put it back in form or in another form
S7/28: they put things on roofs
S7/36: more widely spaced
S7/36: (scot.) frolics, disturbances
S7/36: someone engaging in bodily activities

6:21 pm
Anj

Home stretch Doogle :)

Q: is Olympus the follow up to Ilium by any chance??
6:25 pm
Doogle

Hey, Anj! Yes, it is. And it's very good. Actually broke down and bought in hardcover, which I rarely do, but wanted to read it while Ilium was still fresh in my mind. BTW, his three Joe Kurtz books are extremely good too, though in a very different vein. Darwin's Blade, however, is, IMHO, dreadful. You a fan?
6:26 pm

I've gone cross-eyed today! Can anyone see the H4 and H5 I'm missing???? Thanks....

No, no. I'm missing an H5 and H6. arrrrgggghhhhh
6:29 pm
Anj

Yes, I was hooked by Hyperion and the 3 books that followed but Ilium is the only other book i've found since then. I thought it was great take on the classic tho'. For me only Peter F Hamilton and Alistair Reynolds write sc-fi on that same sort of level.
6:29 pm
Doogle

CSA - Ha5/16 and its plural, Ha6/27. Hawaiian slang for "white person." Sounds kinda like Paoli (PA city).
6:30 pm
DarleenMB

AH! more Dan Simmons fans!!!
6:31 pm
Charm

Doogle! Thanks, thanks. NOW, I remember that from one of the first grids I ever did. Done for toda. <crack knuckles, lean back and trip over feet>
6:31 pm
Doogle

I don't know Hamilton & Reynolds, but will check them out. Where should I start?

I also recommend Sherri S. Tepper very highly for great plots, finely wrought worlds, and interesting philosophy.
6:31 pm
DarleenMB

I ADORED hyperion... could NOT wait for each new book and was so sad when it ended cause there was no more story. I'm hording the new ones ...
6:32 pm
SunnFlower

csa youre missing an ha 5 and 6 an anagram of halo plus a letter then plural
6:32 pm
Doogle

Simmons' earlier horror books are also very good. And a bit harrowing! Song of Kali, Children of the Night, perhaps another one.
6:33 pm
Charm

Thanks, Ferrari. Great hints all around!
6:36 pm
Anj

Hi Darleen :)
Doogle, in at the deep end: Hamilton
The Reality Dysfunction,The Neutronium Alchemist and The Naked God in that order. They are sci-fi but with a deliciously macabre twist. It's the best universe since Hyperion :)
6:37 pm
DarleenMB

Thanks Anj for the book titles. I'll be looking them up ...
6:43 pm
Anj

You're welcome Darleen. I hope you like them :)
Alistair Reynolds has created the same sort of universe, the difference being the way the human race has evolved & mutated. He started with Chasm City, then Revelation Space, Redemption Ark and now Absolution Gap. All real slow burners. May read a little like Iain M Banks in style, although more Simmons in spirit :)
6:44 pm
SunnFlower

just got the ro4/7,ro5/16 to get just can't see them can anyone help?
6:46 pm
Charm

Ro4/7 and 5/16 - proper name, sounds Germanic.
6:46 pm
Anj

I've never tried Sheri S Tepper although i've read some Anne McCaffrey. Going back to Hamilton, his latest, Pandora's Star was a cracker as well. It's follow up, Judas Unchained is due out soon I think
6:47 pm
SunnFlower

wouldn't think they were possible if jakes mum hadn't posted them earlier
6:47 pm
Charm

Ro4/7 - "Norse chieftain who became the first duke of Normandy (860-931)".
5/16 is the plural.
6:47 pm

7:03 pm
tedybeth

torgone: vacation was a week at the beach - we rent a condo each sept. on the Gulf side of FL [we live in Orlando] - and just go to sit, read, sleep -- so running around - alas, no Babble either.
7:03 pm
Anj

Ferrari, yup, all 347 in their cages.
I don't understand the ranking system at all tho :/ I've been top 5 before but I don't really know how lol
7:06 pm
SunnFlower

michelle nearly always heads the list daily, and it always seems to go trotters, ferrari ,anj. do you think dr god could explain?
7:09 pm
Anj

Ferrari, it may be just in the order we all signed up to play but that sounds too simple for a computer programme lol
7:09 pm
torgone

I must try that "getting away for a week" thing sometime soon, even though I do go to the beach every weekend.
7:12 pm
tedybeth

yes, forgone --- to me getting away can be done at the beach - or in the mountains -- or almost anywhere where you are not looking at all the things you should be doing around the house!!! lol
7:12 pm
Jacula

Evening, or rather morning again, all. I've just finished. Would like to thank Anj for the 's' list which helped me enormously in sorting out my mystery words. Also like to thank Scottish on-line dot com!

I can't believe that my last word in was sh5/20, especially as I'd already got re7/48.
7:14 pm
Anj

...no flowers please Jac :)
7:15 pm
SunnFlower

anj the last time trotters wasn't there was a week last sunday. I 've been babbling since the 10th of august how about you?
7:16 pm
SunnFlower

hi jacula, and goodnight what a marathon today, good though lol
7:16 pm
Jacula

I guess you'd prefer beer eh, Anj?:-)
7:18 pm
Jacula

Yes, Ferrari, but I prefer a puzzle I can get my teeth into. I feel disappointed if I'm finished by lunchtime. Not that I'm addicted or anything.... you understand... you do? Don't you? I'm not an addict.... truly....
7:18 pm
Doogle

Anj - Please pardon my slightly delayed thanks for those book titles (I was plowing through the evil esses). Will definitely check 'em out. :)
7:19 pm
Anj

Ferrari, Sunday 7th August for me, although I didn't actually complete a puzzle for a few days. Only missed a couple of days since then I think :/
7:19 pm
SunnFlower

7:20 pm
Anj

Jac, stop dribbling and at least SHARE the chocolate :D
lmao
7:20 pm
Jacula

I think I started on the 8th or 9th August. (Babbling, that is.)
7:21 pm
SunnFlower

I've only missed 27th august, my daughter,s wedding though I did take the grid and everthing to play at if I got chance. guess I must be addicted too
7:21 pm
SunnFlower

I've been babbling for years! lol
7:22 pm
Jacula

Incidentally, have those of you in UK who were led here by The Mail on Sunday's Rob Waugh e-mailed him about your new addiction? LOL.
7:23 pm
SunnFlower

who is rob waugh?
7:23 pm
Jacula

Ferrari - it's the bloke who writes the 'Wired' page in The Mail on Sunday Night & Day mag. It was he who advertised Babble.
7:24 pm
Jacula

Ferrari - I've been babbling for years too. At least the man in my picture would say so. LOL.
7:25 pm
SunnFlower

7:29 pm
ExWren

Not even half way through, still 187 to go, but I'll have to leave it there. Lets hope we have a shorter list tomorrow. At least I've ticked the 7's and 8's boxes.
7:30 pm
Jacula

Richard Whiteley in a leotard?? Don't think I ever saw that!
7:31 pm
ExWren

I miss Countdown, and Richard Whiteley, I watched it every day it was on. I've read they are going to bring it back with another presenter but it won't be the same
7:32 pm
kristin

ok, i feel really stupid asking, but I think I may be blinded by words at this point in the day - can i have a clue for the te5, assume the 6 is the plural version
7:33 pm
Chessy

7:34 pm
SunnFlower

exwren I've heard it could be Noel Edmonds maybe Dez Lynam it wont be the same but I do miss the maths and we'll get used to it won't seem the same without Carol though if she doesnt do it lol
7:35 pm
Jacula

Maths? Aargh, hate maths! I have number blindness, I think. Can't remember the proper term for it now but it's like dyslexia only for numbers.

Doogle, no worries, it's one of those heads down puzzles lol
7:49 pm
Jacula

Sorry mtnjock - I was off in another forum on my music thread. Have you got that af now? If not. I was going to say that one of the Mary Norton 'Borrowers' books was entitled 'The Borrowers Af****'.
7:49 pm
mtnjock

LOL... they were the first ones I got this morning, I hate vowels, so I try and tackle those first. Waiting on a tech support guy to call me back, so thought I would pick up where I left at lunch
7:50 pm

7:50 pm
Anj

Hey Jac which music forum are you on??
7:51 pm
Jacula

Ah yes, the sp6 & 7. I had to google a Scottish dictionary to get those. I impLORE you to try it.
7:52 pm
Jacula

Anj., it isn't purely a music forum. I'm on two forums, both kind of linked. They're FR ones, if you know what that means.
7:52 pm
mtnjock

LOL... thanks Jac
7:54 pm
Anj

Ah, just wondered that's all. Music always seems to be bubbling away under the surface on here lol
7:54 pm
Jacula

And poetry, Anj. Don't forget the poetry!
7:55 pm
sfneil

Clues on the sp5/20?? Please?
7:56 pm
Jacula

mtnjock - Since you didn't get the Scottish words, I take it the 'Jock' in your user name doesn't mean you are from sporran-wearing origins?
7:56 pm
Jax

Help, my last 3 are PL's . I think if I get the last 6/24 it will help me with the other 2 I need (a 4/6 and 5/14). the 2 6/24's I have relate to something you eat on. Can I please get help with the other one?
7:57 pm

sfneil, it's the old technicolo(u)r yawn, plural of sp4/9
7:57 pm
Anj

sfneil, it's the plural of your sp4/9, production of a pavement pizza, par excellence ;)
7:57 pm
mtnjock

birds do this fl to fly
7:58 pm

7:58 pm
Jax

Your fl 6 is the same as your flower one but with a differnt last letter
7:58 pm
sfneil

duh!! thanks so much! 2 more s's to find and i'll finally be done (unannounced FOUR AND A HALF hour meeting today did NOT help my babbling!)
7:59 pm
Jacula

Neil - I know. It is SO inconsiderate when employers expect you to work instead of Babble. LOL.
8:00 pm
PAV3

Thanks Anj! There's still hope!!
8:00 pm
sfneil

I may have to quit!
8:00 pm
Jacula

Jacula- I've been missing a clue my whole life. Lol
8:03 pm
Jacula

Aw, don't do that Chessy. It's not that bad a grid.
8:03 pm
kristin

chessy i'm right there with you, i don't even have it in me to look at the word count sheet anymore! I'm just sponging off other people's requests.
8:03 pm
Anj

Jac, me! Not Babble tho... I'm going to the Barfly on Digbeth High Street tomorrow nite. Where's the best place to park? I want to try and avoid the New Street crush if I can lol
8:03 pm
Jax

Nevermind. found those darn pl's. I'm done! Can I help anyone before I go?
8:03 pm
Jacula

And the music on the jukebox now is Mott the Hoople's 'All The Way To Memphis' for mtnjock. Any more requests anyone?
8:03 pm
mtnjock

any hints on as5 (hate those vowels)
8:04 pm
sfneil

Finally done!!! Woohoo!

Okay folks, I'm heading home now, but I'll check in when I get there to see if I can be of any use to anyone.
8:04 pm
Anj

Crash team to Kristin & Chessy please :)
8:05 pm
Jacula

Anj - I've no idea. I never go into Brum if I can help it.
8:05 pm
kristin

as5 - think of the clear jelly like substance used in meat and vegetable terrines - just change the last letter
8:06 pm
Anj

Jac, sensible girl lol. I used to drive to Selly Oak or Edgbaston regularly but always tried to skip the centre :/
8:06 pm
Jacula

I'm here for 'em, Anj. Defibrilattors at the ready. (No idea if I spelled that correctly.)
8:06 pm
mtnjock

Jock stands for the addiction to softball, football, mtn biking ... LOL
8:07 pm
Jacula

defibrillators.*
8:07 pm

8:08 pm

8:08 pm
Jacula

Anj - shocking Kristin now. STAND BACK.
8:09 pm
kristin

OUCH!!!!
8:09 pm
mtnjock

Kristen that as clue was lost on me... :(
8:09 pm
Anj

Come on Chessy :) What are you stuck on??
8:10 pm
Jacula

Well, that woke Kristin up again. LOL.
8:10 pm
kristin

i was afraid you would say that mtn - the definition is horned vipers - does that help??
8:11 pm
Anj

mtnjock,
Abandoned Site Programme Information System :)
8:12 pm
Jacula

mtnjock - Cleopatra was reputedly killed by an as* bite on the breast. The word you are looking for begins with those 3 letters and is an anagram of more than one of the Italian leaning tower.
8:12 pm
kristin

what anj didn't like my clues? LOL
ok back to babbling and the "to" words
8:13 pm
Anj

kristin i'm working on the clue spam theory. try all angles and something usually sticks lol
8:14 pm
mtnjock

ANJ that just goes to show you that I am a geek as well, I always get stuck choose the wrong letter to start with
8:14 pm
Jacula

Meant to say earlier that Plato, Piaf, Pilates and Salop are in today's grid. Not allowed though, of course. Hope Jera finished the grid today, since that was the first name I noticed in the grid after the first word I spotted, which was pi4/7 (swine). The two NOT connected.
8:14 pm
mtnjock

thanks for all the clues guys...
8:17 pm
Jacula

Found 'hagbush' and 'hagbut' on a-z today whilst searching for words. I really must look up their true meanings...
8:18 pm
kristin

ok i'm looking for a to5 that I assume plurals for the to6, any clues? I've got 2 to5/10 and one to5/14.
8:18 pm
Anj

OK Kriston, novocaine for the brain coming up :)
to4/4 - think original film about Pearl Harbour
to5/16 - add a H (1st part of the Hebrew bible)
to6/27 - add an S for the good old plural
to5/10 - take out the H (to get to4/4 plural)
8:20 pm
Chessy

sorry, head down while I'm sorting out my s words, I need to know their values before I can ask for clues ..otherwise I'd have to describe the 27 se words I have already... if that makes sense ... babble... babble, nurse the screens .......
8:21 pm
mtnjock

and why wont this game take 'alot'
8:21 pm
Anj

Jac, this calls for the hard stuff. Put out the Bean signal:

8:23 pm
Anj

mtn, small matter of a missing L i think... mind you, Enable allows some freaky sh4/7 now and then lol
8:23 pm
Jacula

Coffee machine's on, Anj. Think espresso may be the best choice.
8:24 pm

8:25 pm
Anj

*blushes* Kristin :) words fail me lol
8:25 pm
Jacula

If anyone's interested (well, you never know it may come up in a grid one day) 'hagbush' is some kind of old weapon (LOL) but I don't know what 'cos all I saw was a suit of armour (and it's not in any of my paper dictionaries).
8:27 pm
Jacula

Jacq notes Kristin's proposal and Anj's blushes and wishes she could turn the page pink and put little floating hearts all over it. ROFLOL.
8:27 pm
kristin

jac talk about ruining a moment, i just proposed!
8:29 pm
Jacula

I know NOW Kristin, but it wasn't showing up when I posted the hagbush thing.:-(
8:29 pm
Anj

Jac, I bet that's an alternative spelling of Arquebus, which itself should have an H. It's a musket that's fired using a forked stand. I'm afarid Gary Gygax had a hand in that part of my education :/
8:30 pm
Anj

...gooseberry :P
8:31 pm
Chessy

is a hagbush like a brazilian?
8:32 pm
kristin

LOL Chessy!!
8:32 pm
Jacula

Quite the opposite, I would have thought, Kristin.
8:32 pm
Jacula

Sorry, meant Chessy. Mind you, thinking about it...

ROFLOL.
8:32 pm
Anj

Chessy chessy chessy...
Oh well Kristin, we had a moment at least lol
8:34 pm
Jacula

Anj - if you two want to get smoochy, smoochy, I reckon here ain't the place to do it. *grins*

Oops! No mieow meant by the new icon! It's my Bacardi Breezer cat, Tiggsy.

8:38 pm
lianakate

Does anyone in here still have 88 words or more to find?..i can usually only work on this in the AM..and maybe for an hour at night. ACK
8:39 pm
Jacula

It was simply a joke about it being a public place where interruptions may happen. Though I didn't think it was serious anyway.
8:39 pm
Anj

More Tos I think:
to4/4 - eldest son of Issachar
to5/10 - twins!
to4/4 - take off the as and add an e (painted metelwork)
to5/10 - do the S thing
8:39 pm

Gawd!! Who would want to be married!!!!????

8:42 pm
robert240

the ps5/14. there are 2 I think
8:43 pm
Jacula

Kate - put your 'es' in front of your pa4/6 and add a vowel at the end.
8:44 pm
Jacula

Kate - the pa4/6 that means 'a bit of'.
8:44 pm
Anj

Liana, that e7 is:

es plus role that an actor plays (or bit of car or body- p4) plus o
8:45 pm
Anj

Chessy, how are the vital signs??
8:46 pm
Jacula

Robert - ps plus 4th vowel plus 2nd vowel.
ps plus 4th vowel plus 3rd vowel.
8:48 pm
Anj

...er, calling 1st vowel, you're in there somewhere Mr Vowel :)
8:49 pm
Chessy

7 words to go, 5 s and 2 f words Anj. Think my s words are:
sa4/4, not secure/purchase/ stockfish/plantfluid/satisfy
sa 6/24
sp5/20 not upchuck
sp7/36 not tartan frolix
sp6/24 not fungi/sudden flood/extras/spread out.
sorry if this is muddly :)
8:49 pm
lianakate

apparently i am being obtuse..however, i dont have that P word , i got the es and add an o..thats all my feeble mind can pick up on..bwaaaaahahahahaha (they are coming to take me away..AHA) am singing in a crazed monotone.
8:50 pm
robert240

thanks jacula
8:51 pm
lianakate

okay, i got the part an actor plays..(bit wasnt in there..lol)
8:53 pm
Jacula

Just noticed 'pigsharer' is in the grid. Now surely that MUST be a word? Didn't folk share a pig (for the killing of) in the war?
8:54 pm
mtnjock

ha5/20? help (I don't have the singular)
8:55 pm
lianakate

jock..add an H to the snake that bit ole cleo...
8:55 pm
Anj

sa4/4 - old word for salt (same start & end letter) ;)
sa6/24 - marmalade plum (starts with tee fluid, ends with what sounds like edible grain)
sp5/20 - only one and that's the upchuck :/
sp7/36 - your last sp5/14 plus ER
sp6/24 - could be the one that sounds like the S.... Girls or your fungas with a flowery ending...
8:55 pm
Jacula

ha4/9 - a metal fastener. your ha5 is a plural of that. Think of a treasure chest and the metal lock that slips over it.
8:55 pm
lianakate

an H to the A word ..snake. cleo..stuff like that there.
8:58 pm
lianakate

i have still not figured out the tough grass!! its too much for me..lol
8:59 pm
Jacula

Anj, Kate - let's clasp him to us and hope he gets our clues.
9:00 pm
Jacula

Kate - Easy Peas Are Really Too Ordinary.;-)
9:01 pm
Jacula

No. In fact make that Easy Simple Peas Are Really Too Ordinary
9:01 pm
Blaze

liankate take some esp add what fancy pics are and O you have it..
9:01 pm
lianakate

LOL, tee fluid. Now what the hell is that?..golf ball juice?..
9:02 pm
Anj

Chessy, i think you could be down an Sp6, not the Sp5
The list is:

1) left over, only more so
2) left overs or as in tyres
3) not thick or dense
4) floods
5) sounds like the final frontier and breaks the I before E rule...
6) scottish frolic (fungal sp5/14 with added L)
7) fungAL ;)
8) fungii
9:02 pm
Jacula

Kate - must admit I was wondering what tee fluid is, too.
9:03 pm
lianakate

BLAZE!!!! LOL, i need a simple clue like that..I GOT IT..yay!! and ty veddy much!
9:04 pm
Blaze

lian your on..... keep up the good work how are you today ??
9:04 pm
Jacula

Oh dear! I thought I'd spelt it out.:-(
9:05 pm
lianakate

blaze..too soon to tell how I am. Am just so tired all the time..but I got better than half the words..only 86 to go. And, thanks for asking about my feeble brained self..(such a nice lady you are)
9:05 pm
brandyjack

Sp6/24 doesn't break the rule. I before E except after C unless it's an 'A'
9:07 pm
ktf

Yay! I got 50 words! (And I'm a newbie, and I suck.)
9:07 pm
Anj

Hi Brandyjack - is that as in the sound?
9:07 pm
mtnjock

nite all
9:08 pm
Jacula

Jack - that 'sp' is a bit like undercover people with the 2nd vowel added at the end, and the 'i before e' rule reversed.
9:08 pm
Anj

'nite mtn :)

Chessy, are you still with us??
9:08 pm
Jacula

Night Jock. Sleep well.
9:09 pm
Chessy

Still here Anj, machine decided to seize up, had a quick restart and will now check your list. many thanks indeed.
9:10 pm
Jacula

Greetings ktf. Only 297 words to go then! Keep plugging away. Look back through the log for clues, etc.
9:10 pm
Minski

This is a wacko grid. I have 224 words and still have 123 words left to find. It's a little intimidating. I need a hug.
9:10 pm
lianakate

blaze, Jac, Anj..night you lil blessings in disguise!! Methinks I am gonna call it quits..I got a couple more words anyway..Be well, and most of all..BE HAPPY..(dunt worry)
9:11 pm
Anj

No worries - there are two different posts as i've listed all the sp6/24s seperately just in case
9:11 pm
ktf

Ack, 297? Well, I suppose I've got most of the easy ones... I do have a eight letter 55. *proud*
9:11 pm

Hi Baggo :)
I'm about to quit :/ sleep is holding my brain hostage and the FBI are due to come along and take out my grid lol
9:14 pm
brandyjack

Anj - Yes. As in neighbor.
9:15 pm
baggo

anj, i just have to say, you always make me smile...
9:15 pm
Jacula

My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night
But ah my foes and oh my friends
It gives a lovely light
9:16 pm
ktf

Blah, I give up for now. Bye folks!
9:16 pm
brandyjack

Jac, Anj's description for the sp5/24 was correct except for the part about breaking the rule. Although without that part I would never have gotten the word.....
9:16 pm
Chessy

G'nite Anj, thank you for all your help again, catch you soon...:)
9:18 pm
baggo

i have to say, i'm gonna miss you guys in a week. i just found out a litle bit ago, i'm heading down south to help out with the displaced folks from katrina...
9:18 pm
Anj

Cheers Brandyjack. Crazy, i've never thought of ot that way before but it's so obvious.
9:19 pm
Chessy

Good luck with that baggo, sounds as tho the latest hurricane is causing havoc right now ...
9:19 pm
brandyjack

Just one of those crazy things that stuck to me in english class. They gave me a 51 so they wouldn't have to look at my ugly puss fro another year....
9:19 pm
Blaze

sould some one pass on a clue for ea 4 thanks
9:20 pm
Jacula

Jack - I have all the words (as from about 3 hours' ago). Your 2nd letter list earlier in the day helped a lot after I'd got over 200 words just by sight and had not even looked on the log for clues. (I feel quite proud of that.) I went onto a-z with about 30 words to go, but then found Anj's 's' lists and got more on my own after that.
9:20 pm
Anj

'nite Chessy - hope you finished :)
9:20 pm
baggo

yeah, cheesy looks as if rita is not helping out either...
9:21 pm
Blaze

baggo good luck on you adventure....
9:21 pm
Doogle

Blaze - I can pass on that clue with great ea4.
9:21 pm
brandyjack

I'm just working through the At's from my list. 200 more to go.....
9:21 pm
Jacula

Good luck to you Baggo.
9:21 pm
baggo

blaze thanks, not sure what i'm in for, but i'm up for it..not much money to give but i can give time...
9:22 pm
baggo

hi doogle...
9:22 pm
Blaze

doogle thanks i need that upside down look to help
9:23 pm
Jacula

The ea - start 3rd down from right, move up to left and directly above again and then down to right.
9:23 pm
Blaze

baggo who is taking care of your family etc...
9:23 pm
Doogle

Heya Baggo.
9:24 pm
baggo

blaze you know what is so amazing about this entire thing, is that i told some people i was thinking of going, i have a freezer full of meals, childcare lined up...people here, even though we are so far removed, have just been amazing...i'm blessed with the people around me...
9:26 pm
Blaze

baggo that is truly a blessing for you and your family... you will do great things I am sure... check in lots....
9:27 pm
baggo

i will try..but there is still not alot of power where i am heading...i am going to an airforce base and taking care of people that are not well enough to go on to shelters yet..
9:28 pm
Blaze

baggo I will pray for you often.....
9:30 pm
Anj

OK, the feds are snapping at my consciousness cables so i'm doing a runner for the sleep state line.
There's a breakdown of the As, Es, Ls, Hs (except our ha5 & ha6 Hawaiian buddies) Ps, Rs & Ss in the log, plus a good post listing all the 7 & 8 letter words with clues from an earlier post.

Have fun :)
9:30 pm
baggo

blaze, you don't even know what that means to me.. thank you so much.. this i sjust a calling tha ti seem to have. i felt helpless when the storm struck, and now, it's just a simple thing to me that i can do...
nite anj...thaks so much...
9:31 pm
Anj

Baggo, keep smiling girl :D Take care
9:32 pm
baggo

ty anj, so much...i still have a week don't leave til the 2nd, hopefully rita will be overand not have struck and the next one won't come anywhere near....
9:33 pm
Jacula

Night Anj.

Baggo - it's so good to see someone doing something to help. I don't know if we here in the UK got a bad taste via our news of the under the carpet prejudices in the USA, but I'm so glad to see that they are not true for all.xxxx
9:36 pm
baggo

jacula, not sure what all the news was elsewhere, but i think the ball was dropped on lots of levels...i think being in healthcare, i tend to see people for people, and i just hate it when things happen that shouldn't. don't know how else to put it really....i do want to say though that i heard a blip on npr, that the mre's that came from other countries are much tastier than ours.. :)
9:39 pm
Jacula

What are 'mre's'?
9:42 pm
Fauna

Baggo didn't know you were going who are you going with? How long are you going to be there? You know as always - - Prayers and Thanks!!
9:43 pm
baggo

mre's are these meals...and they have a name...that come pre packaged with no refrigeration needed...
9:44 pm
Jacula

Ready Meals, Baggo? I wish I could send 'em some of my home-grown and cooked stuff. But it wouldn't survive the journey.
9:44 pm
brandyjack

MRE- Meal, Ready to Eat. Rations. Rat-Bars (cause that's what they taste like)....
9:44 pm
baggo

hi Fauna, wondered if you were on, i am going with a christian group out of elkhart...they need more nurses if you are interested...i need some time picked up on sunday night too the 2nd...if ya wanna help that way..
9:45 pm
baggo

thanks brandyjack, couldn't think of the term..nice new picture..
9:47 pm
brandyjack

They will keep you alive, but you definitely won'tbe happy about it.....
9:50 pm
Fauna

Baggo are you kidding my DH couldn't go to bed cause I didn't have sheets on bed!! He'd die in a week!!
9:51 pm
baggo

fauna...you're killing me...but i know you speak the truth. prayers are wonderful, but i know you already are doing that...peace
9:54 pm
baggo

finally found the last one...anyone need some help???
9:55 pm
Blaze

Baggo I have 204 words left and 6 minutes until the new NCIS show starts.... there is no help for me....LOL
9:56 pm
baggo

blaze, just close your eyes and start a typing...do you have all the biggies???
9:57 pm
Blaze

some but not to fussed found ten more words since last post... I am not big on the points thing....
10:00 pm
baggo

yeah, i don't really look at the point thing, i just want to be able to find the big words from a challenge standpoint...i'm a big one on the numbers and going from there when i get stumped...
10:02 pm
Fauna

Baggo have 153, pretty fair for me!! bout to give- got to drive Miss Daisy to Violin in Am. Are you at work??

Hi folks! I'm here for a while, and will try to help if I can. I've had a hell of a day, but am available for the next hour or so to try to redeem my babble karma!

Available for specific clues (as far as my exhausted brain can come up with them) or lists (ditto).
10:36 pm
baggo

well with that from sfneil...i leave you all in capable hands...and i think brandyjack is still around...nite all...see ya fauna
10:37 pm
sfneil

nite, baggo!
10:37 pm
brandyjack

Well, I'm here, but with 200 words to go, not likely much help. Jac is the one with the answers.....
10:39 pm
Jacula

Jac - wearing a very nice evening dress and looking ab-fab., turns to Jack and says, 'Well, thank you for that.' She smiles and turns to Neil...
10:40 pm
sfneil

Hi, Jac! (I think I'm qualified to say that by now!)
10:42 pm
Jacula

'Hi Neil! What do you think we can give to our audience tonight?' She smiles (winningly... and looks sexy etc.)
10:43 pm
sfneil

'Well (looking around at the house)... why don't we start with our usual routine?'
10:43 pm
Jacula

Only 1 hour and 8 mins to go folks.
10:44 pm
Jacula

What can we give to our audience, do you think, Neil? (She miles sexily at the audience.)
10:45 pm
sfneil

Well, Jac, perhaps they'd be interested in, um... (where did that script boy go?)
10:48 pm
Jacula

(Mind you, that woman snoring, with her handbag on her lap, is a bit of a put off. And that bloke farting in the 4th row.)
10:49 pm
Jacula

That stern-looking chap up in the Gods might yield some jokes. 'I do NOT BELIEVE IT', etc.
10:49 pm
sfneil

Can we just give the curtain at the second act, and retire to the pub?

Oh! I mean... wherefor art?
10:51 pm
sfneil

Sorry, they're messing the cues, now!
10:51 pm
Jacula

But when Juliet said wherefore thou to Romeo, she meant WHY are you Romeo - the child of the family my family hates.
10:52 pm
sfneil

If you say the word, Jac, I'm no longer a capitulate!
10:57 pm
sfneil

Okay, guess I wore that one out. Still around if any babblers need a nudge.
10:57 pm
Jacula

Lol, Neil, But Romeo was a Montague, not a Capulet.
10:59 pm
sfneil

But that was Juliet's line! (Then the Nurse ame in... I could use a nurse right about now.)
10:59 pm
sfneil

er, "then the Nurse came in"
11:03 pm
sproing

Sooo tired... but really want to at least finish the 7s -- does anyone have a clue for the sp7s? I already have the not dense one
11:06 pm
sfneil

first sp7 is comparative of sp6/24... even more 'not-very-well-distributed'
11:07 pm
sproing

I've already got that one...
11:08 pm
sfneil

sorry, should have read that better... hold on
11:09 pm
Jacula

And your 2nd sp7 is a plural of your sp6. Scottish word for 'frolic'. As I said earlier,I imPLORE you to check out the Scottish dictionary.
11:10 pm
sproing

Thanks Jacula!
11:12 pm
sfneil

sp7/36 builds on sp5/14... one who is interested in sp5/14
11:12 pm
sfneil

you could say a suppPORTER of the sp5
11:14 pm
sfneil

Um, or you could take out a 'p' from that clue. I think maybe I should just go to bed, now.
11:14 pm

ok, I've been staring at this for too long -- got all the 7s now... thanks!!!

Doogle - I thought I did send them alll? Posted the esses now, though I cold have done Anj's. Both are correct. It's a matter of how fast can you type now for this grid though.
