4:44 am

Norma

I know the feeling Sally getting cabin fever ... haven't even been out in the garden

Sally-catlover

Norma

Unfortunately we can't encourage the birds into our garden with two cats it is not a good idea but I am glad to hear others are looking after them

4:48 am

Sally-catlover

We have two cats Norma, but site bird feeders carefully. They are good hunters but very rarely get a bird.

4:49 am

FMitch

I get so facinated by watching the birds I lose a lot of time. Where I am now is much more open and less trees so no squirrels or predatory birds like magpies etc so much mor diveristy.

4:49 am

Atalante

Hi, floppy Ata!

4:50 am

Norma

4:51 am

Atalante

4:52 am

FMitch

4:54 am

FMitch

7 for a secret never to be told

4:54 am

Haz1558

Seven for the secret, you're right.

4:54 am

Sally-catlover

Hi Haz. We used to leave the magpies alone until we found them raiding our swallows nest. Now I'm afraid we trap them.

4:54 am

Haz1558

We have magpies around here but so far they haven't joined in the feeding frenzy at the back, they seem to leave the smaller birds alone, thankfully.

4:55 am

Sally-catlover

We are so lucky that the swallows nest here every year. The magpies are evil.

4:55 am

Haz1558

So, your starter for 10, can you name any or all of the presenters on Magpie?

Susan Stranks was very striking, dark, slim, vivacious personality.

4:58 am

mummy

4:58 am

Haz1558

Good morning, lizmac! Magpie was kind of Blue Peter's slightly more up to date cousin.

4:58 am

FMitch

Morning Liz and mummy.

4:58 am

Haz1558

Maggie Philbin was certainly on Noel's Swap Shop thing, you're right it was Sally James on Tiswas.

4:58 am

mummy

morning FMitch

4:59 am

mummy

oh yes, Sally James & CHRIS TARRANT

4:59 am

Haz1558

This is the kind of conversation that has all the other nationalities scratching their collective head.

4:59 am

Sally-catlover

Hi, lizmac and mummy. A British Babble chog atm!

4:59 am

Haz1558

So, another starter for ten, how many Blue Peter presenters can we name? And the pets?

4:59 am

mummy

4:59 am

FMitch

LOL yes HAz - definately one of those you hadto be there moments.

5:00 am

lizmac

While we're on "starters for ten" I'll just have a quick boast if that's okay.Or even if it's not ok. My son is on University Challenge on Monday.

5:00 am

FMitch

PeterNoakes and Shep

5:00 am

Haz1558

Shouting Chris Tarrant's name is entirely in keeping, Mummy, he was very loud in that programme!

5:00 am

Atalante

John Noakes! Shep!

5:00 am

FMitch

Valaries Singleton
Petra

5:00 am

Atalante

Goldie! I can do this one :)

5:00 am

5:00 am

mummy

What's his name liz? I love that programme

5:00 am

Haz1558

HOLD PROCEEDINGS TO ACKNOWLEDGE LIZMAC'S REASON TO BE SMUG!

5:00 am

lizmac

Chris Macleod

5:01 am

Haz1558

There was a Willow cat.

5:01 am

Sally-catlover

*&^% keyboard. PetrA

5:01 am

FMitch

and this reminds me of when Haz blew my mind by telling me that Valrie had an affair with the other guy!

5:01 am

Haz1558

Peter Purves, Richard Bacon.

5:01 am

mummy

Good, will look out for him! se if I can get mre answers right than he does!

5:01 am

Haz1558

It was a brief affair between Valerie and Peter, although you still have to wonder what on earth Biddy Baxter would have said if she had known.

5:02 am

Sally-catlover

Why, did shefancy Peter herself?

5:02 am

Haz1558

Other presenters, Caron Keating, Yvette Fielding. Another man, Peter somebody now chief Scout.

5:02 am

Sally-catlover

And well, done liz for having clever son

5:02 am

mummy

was that a cat made of willow? we have a large willow man next to the motorway near us

5:02 am

FMitch

Fred the tortoise.

5:02 am

Haz1558

No, but Biddy Baxter was apparently an absolute tyrant and hard to work for.

5:02 am

Atalante

was willow the siamese?

5:03 am

Sally-catlover

Adjusts glasses. Read that as "Fired the tortoise"

5:03 am

Haz1558

No, the cat was called Willow. The Siamese was something else. I'll have to think.

5:03 am

mummy

Peter Duncan, hes not cheif scout any more I think its now Bear Grylls

5:03 am

Haz1558

Fred the tortoise became Freda once they had a closer look.

5:03 am

FMitch

and here is one I prepared earlier, not to mention the use of loo rolls and sticky backed plastic.

5:03 am

Haz1558

Jason was the Siamese.

5:03 am

Haz1558

Peter Duncan, that's the one.

5:03 am

Atalante

so what is a siamese if not a cat?

5:03 am

Haz1558

Leslie Judd was another presenter.

5:04 am

Sally-catlover

Have you ever seen the utube spoof of Blue Peter?

5:04 am

lizmac

You could well do, mummy. I had to give him a crash course on Beatrix Potter after the team failed to answer a question about Jemima Puddleduck. Maybe that's a reflection of poor mothering that he wasn't au fait with her!!

5:04 am

Haz1558

Okay, Wilow was a cat, though not Siamese, the Siamese cat was Jason.

5:04 am

Brookie

5:13 am

FMitch

Cos he was wearing huge platforms - we are going back to the 70s now

5:13 am

Haz1558

Hello, Flask. Weather's a bit of a sore point, isn't it?

5:13 am

caitlyn

You should have sued him FM

5:13 am

mummy

what weather, just close the curtains, BAbbleland is much more cosy!

5:14 am

Haz1558

So, it wasn't deliberate? He hadn't taken a dislike to you?

5:14 am

FMitch

I was just overawed to see it was him!

5:14 am

Haz1558

Yes, but you've had a sore foot ever since, haven't you? And you find it hard to trust people in book shops?

5:14 am

caitlyn

I bet you were FM I would have been also

5:14 am

Haz1558

I'd say there are definite grounds for compensation.

5:15 am

FMitch

er no Haz as you know I am a pretty likable person he just stepped on my foot as we bumped into eachother

5:15 am

mummy

5:15 am

caitlyn

LOL mummy

5:15 am

FMitch

5:15 am

5:20 am

Flask1

5:20 am

Haz1558

5:20 am

caitlyn

5:20 am

Haz1558

Bye mummy!

5:20 am

Atalante

5:21 am

KatieMcG

I just thought that ata but then it started snowing!

5:22 am

caitlyn

They lie on the news Ata

5:22 am

Atalante

but we don't have typical Kent weather cos we're close to the sea

5:23 am

Sally-catlover

Someone in another place suggested that if I couldn't get in to the shops, I might be willing to ski, snowshoe or
hike to them. Er, six miles! Ad I'm a pensioner!

5:23 am

Atalante

I could have done with snowshoes taking pup out earlier

5:24 am

Sally-catlover

Also I'm terrified of even stepping out of the back door in this. Can just see me strapping on the skis!

5:24 am

Haz1558

Did you ever get proper shoes, Ata?

5:24 am

caitlyn

I am the same Sally, there is no way I am risking it

5:24 am

KatieMcG

best to stay inside sally you don't want to be taking chances with falling over etc

5:25 am

Haz1558

No, stay where you are, Sally, dealing with snow is fine if you're used to it, if you're not, safety comes first.

5:25 am

Atalante

not yet *sigh* I couldnt' find any I liked in Canterbury, and then we got snowed in

5:26 am

caitlyn

Ata are you enjoying your *rest* Have you heard from hubby?

5:26 am

Haz1558

That's a shame! Are you particularly fussy about shoes?

5:27 am

KatieMcG

gosh i'm finding this grid hard today

5:27 am

Atalante

no! very unfussy. but nearly all the sale shoes I could see had big spiky heels - not very useful for winter conditions!

5:27 am

Atalante

he phoned yesterday, up in oxford. so he's safely there till friday. yay!

5:28 am

caitlyn

LOL

5:28 am

Haz1558

elder

Bye all and thanks. Annie, will do my up most, as I hate the cold in normal winter months. Byeeeee.

8:46 am

hurshy

you know i'm realizing that there really is something to this six degrees of separation thing. and a lot of it is because of hollywood. you mix all these people up for every film and TV show and if you're connected to one you're connected to them all, and that can then connect you with whatever ordinary people they know...

8:47 am

herinfernallady

HI Hurshy

8:48 am

herinfernallady

Hurshy what do you mean?

8:50 am

hurshy

for instance, i was in a psych class with a girl who went on to be on the show "ed". she acted in the show with justin long, the guy who's the mac in the mac commercials. he was in a movie with jennifer aniston, the break-up. she was married to brad pitt. that's four degrees from me to brad pitt!

8:50 am

herinfernallady

Right Ok I get you sorry

8:51 am

hurshy

furthermore, john hodgman is the pc in those commercials, and is on the daily show, so i'm connected to everyone on the daily show that way.

8:51 am

herinfernallady

So you are saying that I am friends with this guy Gab that is in the music bus under his uncle so there for I am 3 degrees seperated from some famous types?

8:52 am

hurshy

and once you have aniston and pitt, well, who aren't you connected to? kevin bacon, naturally, but like, zillions of famous people. brad pitt in ocean's movies with clooney, 5 degrees from me to george clooney.

8:52 am

ladycece920

and five degrees to george clooney since brad was in the oceans 11, 12 & 13 movies!

8:52 am

hurshy

you'd have to actually make the connections herin, but, could be. :)

8:53 am

herinfernallady

Well I can but year

8:53 am

hurshy

plus, i just discovered that justin long's father is one of five tenured professors at fairfield university, and i know one of the other five. so i can go to hollywood and back again via two different routes.

8:55 am

hurshy

and since brad pitt is now with angelina jolie, that's five to her, and therefore six to every single poor person she's met in africa and asia etc.

8:55 am

herinfernallady

FOr instance. I am friends with Mel who has a cousin that is went to school with Kurt from Glee. Is that what you mean?

8:55 am

hurshy

there ya go, herin

8:55 am

LuvWordGames

They had a show on TV a few years back where an ordinary person tried to connect to another random ordinary person using that six degree theory and amazingly enough they usually could. It was really interesting

8:56 am

hurshy

it's kinda freaky. but i'm not sure it would be possible without all the mixing, both romantic and professional, of hollywood.

8:57 am

Uneaixoise

went to school with Kurt from Glee?? I LOVE him!!

8:58 am

hurshy

oh, plus, since i met tom brokaw, i'm connected to everybody he's ever interviewed.

8:58 am

herinfernallady

Yep Une. I think there is a babbler here that has a connection to one of the sexy boys from supernatural

8:58 am

rumplestiltskin

Bye all, Fireworks for today! Need to get busy. Have epidurals in my back tomorrow and won't be doing much.

8:58 am

8:58 am

herinfernallady

O I have one. ONe of the babblers here Asgreen her brother in law is Peter Walsh one of Oprahs cohorts

8:59 am

herinfernallady

Later Rumple

8:59 am

hurshy

i'm two freakin degrees from every president, foreign leader, etc that tom brokaw has met. TWO!

8:59 am

Uneaixoise

hmmm, well, a family friend in my hometown dated Roy Scheider :-)

9:00 am

hurshy

and since he knows all the other newspeople, i'm connected to anybody he might have missed but that they've interviewed by 3 degrees.

9:00 am

herinfernallady

heheh

9:00 am

Uneaixoise

so are all Babblers connected to the performers I've met at stage doors in New York??

9:01 am

Uneaixoise

Edie Falco, Brenda Blethyn, etc.

9:01 am

hi everyone

9:15 am

Uneaixoise

salut, oodle!

9:16 am

oodleberry

salut une... est-ce que tu m'as dit que tu viens de la kFrance? Aix-en-prove(i)nce?

9:17 am

Uneaixoise

non, mais j'y ai etudie et j'y ai travaille il y a TRES longtemps! Et mon ex-mari est aixois.

9:18 am

hego

I've been to Aix. Hey Une, you're ex was from Aix.

9:18 am

oodleberry

ah! c'est pour Ã§a... tu prÃ©fÃ¨re anglais ou franÃ§ais?

9:18 am

Uneaixoise

yep, hego ;-)

9:18 am

Uneaixoise

pretty town, eh?

9:18 am

9:19 am

hego

Lovely, Provence is my favorite part of France.

9:19 am

crosshair

common now ,we can do english or french but unless you are telling naughty secrets it is polite to share whith the rest of the room :)

9:19 am

Uneaixoise

ca m'est egal, oodle -- je dois dire que je parle rarement le francais . . .

9:19 am

hego

You didn't miss anything, Crossy, love

9:20 am

crosshair

i know that..i can rad it

9:20 am

Uneaixoise

crossy, was just sayin' that I studied in Aix-en-Provence, the worked in France (Paris) for several years . . .

9:20 am

crosshair

read even

9:20 am

Uneaixoise

*then worked

9:20 am

hego

I can read a bit also.

9:21 am

Uneaixoise

and met my ex there -- learned to speak French fluently in part because we never spoke English till we moved to the States after being together for several years

9:21 am

hego

Great way to learn.

9:22 am

Uneaixoise

he still lives here in Nashville with his second family -- at long last, we're friendly, and he's the only person who speaks French with me :-)

9:22 am

Uneaixoise

he spoke no English at all, hego :-)

9:22 am

hego

Very interesting Une.

9:22 am

oodleberry

well of course you don't parler that often... not too many americans are bilingual... but that may be changing with all the hispanics immigrating

9:23 am

Uneaixoise

and eventually we'll all be speaking Chinese!

9:23 am

oodleberry

your x spoke no english? was he in the states with you??

9:23 am

godthaab

It would be interesting to hear you speak French with an accent from Tennessee.

9:23 am

oodleberry

oh

9:23 am

Uneaixoise

have no TN accent in French

9:23 am

crosshair

je peux faire les FranÃ§ais, mais cela est dur pour moi et prend du temps

9:23 am

Uneaixoise

oodle, I met him in France, not in US

9:23 am

hego

I've learned to understand Spanish on the job. But I had studied French and Italian before that.

9:24 am

oodleberry

assez bien cross, bravo

9:24 am

hego

Crossy's good. :-)

9:24 am

Uneaixoise

hego, isn't it amazing how those latin basics allow you to get the gist in all those languages?

9:24 am

oodleberry

that's why spanish is easy on the job because they are all from romance language

9:24 am

oodleberry

boy that didn't come out right

9:24 am

hego

It helps with Babble

9:25 am

Uneaixoise

exactly, oodle -- that's why I can't speak Spanish but can understand a lot of written Spanish

9:25 am

oodleberry

great minds une...:D

9:25 am

Uneaixoise

LOL :-)

9:25 am

Uneaixoise

definitely, hego!

9:26 am

hego

Reading is the easiest part for me and speaking the hardest.

9:26 am

Uneaixoise

i think that's true with everyone . . .

9:27 am

oodleberry

hego you might pick spoken spanish up quicker than spoken french because of the accent. although written can be tricky with no subjects which forces you to learn the conjugations of the verbs

9:27 am

oodleberry

really?

9:28 am

hego

Well Oodle, I learned the grammar in school and it's the same in all the romance languages.

9:28 am

oodleberry

I think you need to practice with someone with cards... so you see it and know how it sounds from a native speaker

9:28 am

hurshy

brokaw to cronkite to murrow to hitler. ack.

9:28 am

Uneaixoise

hursh! LOL

9:29 am

Uneaixoise

need to go do something productive -- enjoyed the chat -- later! *poof*

tofu takes on the flavor of what you cook it with, so stewing is best

I wish I'd had her from a puppy so I could train her as a proper working dog

10:59 am

Atalante

dog rituals are so strange!

He gets very stressed about cars passing, especially from behind, and eating the snow seems to help.

Bo, do you have an5?

12:23 pm

bojazz

no - don't have an5

12:23 pm

12:25 pm

Pinikula

Atalante

Joanne123

1:45 pm

Haz1558

Although I admit there are times when you wish they had light up signals on their forehead to indicate just why they are crying. It would help so much in the early days.

1:45 pm

Joanne123

he gives me the fake cry and the pouty lower lip and i melt and he knows it too

2:01 pm

lynxxx

God forbid

2:01 pm

Haz1558

And I'm not even going to try to contemplate how you survive those sort of temperatures.

2:26 pm

Geekmeister

thank you

2:26 pm

mummy

I'ts not that bad is it HAz?

2:27 pm

Haz1558

No, not quite, mummy. Ata was doing a project a while back on the boglands of Northern Ireland and thought I should know all about them. I live near some bogland, but not quite IN it.

2:28 pm

Atalante

bogs everywhere!

2:28 pm

FMitch

Haz, Ata and all hello :)

2:28 pm

Haz1558

Almost everywhere. We're used to squelching noises as we walk.

2:28 pm

Atalante

2:28 pm

Haz1558

Hello FM!

2:29 pm

lynxxx

Hello FM

2:29 pm

mummy

oh, I see is it one of those places where they have dug up bog people? like Pete Marsh who was unearthed in a bog somewhere that I can't remembe

2:29 pm

Geekmeister

Hello FM

This is just like our mornings, lynxx's evenings.

2:29 pm

FMitch

Hey there ladies, not stopping long but had to hadve a quicke babble hello.

2:29 pm

lynxxx

Pete Marsh! you are joking aren't you?

2:30 pm

Haz1558

No, no Pete Marshes over here. There are large areas of bogland - Ata knows about the geography etc, they've been used for producing fuel over the years but not so much now.

2:30 pm

FMitch

HAve indulged ina youtube evening and listened to so many lovely songs.

2:30 pm

Atalante

I know far too much about bogs LOL

2:30 pm

Atalante

blanket bogs and raise bogs and fens and things

2:31 pm

Haz1558

Oh, good for you, FM, nice to listen to stuff you enjoy.

2:31 pm

mummy

no, lynxx he was named that because he was dug up in the PEAT marshes, we have peat moors here and they are still extracting peat for gardening

2:31 pm

FMitch

Ata jsut know so much about everything!

2:32 pm

Haz1558

We tend to talk about the moss here and people can rent pieces of land to cut peat/turf for burning.

2:32 pm

lynxxx

BBL we need our walk before it gets too hot

2:32 pm

Haz1558

See you later, lynxxx, say hello to Stew.

2:33 pm

FMitch

too hot now there is a phrase to sigh for Bye lynxxx

2:33 pm

lynxxx

I know about Peat...just couldn't believe they would name a body Pete Marsh. Wacky. Seeya

2:33 pm

Haz1558

(Wonder how long it will be before we're saying it's too hot to go for a walk?)

2:33 pm

Atalante

a long time!

2:33 pm

mummy

bye lynxx, bye HAz

2:34 pm

mummy

bye bye all, see you another day

2:34 pm

FMitch

umm prob one day in June Haz :) and then it will be back to usual.

2:34 pm

Haz1558

Do you suppose the Met Office will stop issuing long range weather forecasts now that they've messed up so royally this year?

2:34 pm

Haz1558

Bye, mummy, see you again.

2:34 pm

Gail

I know somebody named Peter Marsh...

2:35 pm

Haz1558

They predicted a barbecue summer and a mild winter. Only slightly short of the mark. No4/4 extensive use of sarcastic font.

2:35 pm

FMitch

I doubt it Haz.

2:35 pm

FMitch

Most of my icicles have melted today!

2:35 pm

Atalante

the Met Office always get the forecast wrong for Faversham

2:36 pm

Haz1558

There's a definite thaw here as well. The only drawback is that the wind is getting up.

2:37 pm

Atalante

*groans* why did I set my Daleks in a huge white tiled vault?

2:37 pm

FMitch

What will we manage to talk about once the weather has gone *grin*

2:37 pm

Haz1558

I know. We've always found it hard in the past to find anything to chat about in the log, haven't we?

2:37 pm

FMitch

cos you have a great eye Ata and will work it out.

2:38 pm

FMitch

incredible isn't it that we have managed to chat for 4 years or so.

2:38 pm

Haz1558

I know!

2:38 pm

Atalante

2:39 pm

FMitch

lol

2:40 pm

Atalante

silverclaw is the artistic one. she sits on my paintings while I'm trying to do them

2:40 pm

Haz1558

sh7/32 - three letters for a female, two letters for neither male nor female, finish with what you get if you lie out in the sun/what they do to cow-hide to make leather.

2:40 pm

FMitch

if it's white do you have to colour it?

2:40 pm

Atalante

*gasp*

2:40 pm

Atalante

how many tiled walls do you know that are 100% pure white???!!

2:41 pm

thanks Haz - much appreciated!

2:41 pm

Atalante

(apart from Haz's)

2:41 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome.

2:41 pm

FMitch

I know, but you can see where I was coming from.

2:41 pm

Boobear

clue for the third te 6/18 pls

2:42 pm

Atalante

oh utterly!

2:42 pm

Haz1558

The third te6/18 is a plural for Pavarotti and co.

2:42 pm

Atalante

that was my thought when I blithely shoved half a picture of them in. Now I'm realising it takes rather a while!

2:42 pm

Haz1558

The one following the canvas dwelling adds a couple of vowels to the end.

2:42 pm

Boobear

ty Haz

2:43 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome.

2:43 pm

Haz1558

Can you change the colour scheme halfway through? Introduce some patterned tiles for added interest?

2:44 pm

FMitch

Was wondering how Lori and Uni are doing must send then an email.

2:44 pm

Haz1558

A kind of 60 minute makeover for a picture?

2:44 pm

Atalante

I do have a bit of difference in them. I'm just moaning :D

2:44 pm

FMitch

LOL might clash with the darlek colours.

2:44 pm

Vicuna

Oooh, ooh, hello, everyone!

2:45 pm

Haz1558

I bet FM told you to colour them white, didn't she?

2:45 pm

Atalante

I have a red dalek, a copper coloured dalek, a grey one and a splotchy white one :)

2:45 pm

2:47 pm

periwinkle

thinking of making pumpking bread but too tired

2:47 pm

Haz1558

I don't watch it any more, I used to see it as a child, mostly viewing the TV from behind the settee, It was scary!

2:48 pm

FMitch

It's a heady responsibility, knowing that we're the only thing standing between FM and the Home for the Bewildered.

2:50 pm

FMitch

2:50 pm

Vicuna

Glad you're staying sane, at any rate. (*wondering whether she was sane to begin with*)

I love doing that, science. but only with my tablet, using a mouse is irritating

2:54 pm

oodleberry

hi sg

2:54 pm

Haz1558

She's done it again, Ata, set off to put the kettle on without taking orders. After all our training...

2:54 pm

dcseain

howdy, ata

2:54 pm

Atalante

outrageous!

2:55 pm

sciencegeek

I mouse is irritating! Updating websites is also irritating! oh full of irritation today.

2:55 pm

Vicuna

So, Ata is bogged down in dalek-tile, FM is struggling to stay warm and/or sane, Haz is picking excamation points out of the floor cracks, and science is nuttily photoshopping. Looks like another standard day in Babbleland.

2:55 pm

sciencegeek

*A* mouse

2:55 pm

sciencegeek

LOL Vic

2:55 pm

Haz1558

You need a soothing cup of tea, science. If only FM had asked.

2:55 pm

warm has been a challenge last few weeks

2:55 pm

And you, VI, how are you spending your time?

2:56 pm

Quite the nip int he air these days, indeed.

2:56 pm

Shirlockc

Haz1558

2:56 pm

Haz1558

2:56 pm

Vicuna

co8 and 9 rent a house together

2:56 pm

Haz1558

For an6/18, that is.

you need a tablet, sg. makes life sooo much easier

2:57 pm

sciencegeek

go for the pizza! I love making homemade pizzas! Whole wheat crust???

2:57 pm

Vicuna

I'd love to play with a tablet, but can't justify the expense.

2:57 pm

Haz1558

You're not advocating wholesale use of drugs, Ata?

2:57 pm

sciencegeek

Ata - maybe for next christmas. How does it work with Photoshop?

2:58 pm

Joanne123

no reg. but it's a good staple at work

2:58 pm

Haz1558

What are these tablets of which you speak?

2:58 pm

Boobear

clue for the second th6

2:58 pm

Vicuna

lol, Haz. Taking Ata's tablet internally would certainly not be advisable!

2:58 pm

sciencegeek

Stone tablets

2:58 pm

sciencegeek

steles

2:58 pm

Atalante

loool especially not a big one

2:58 pm

Haz1558

If the first th6 ends in a vowel, the second ends in a plural consonant.

2:58 pm

Atalante

Haz, they are graphic things - you use a "pen" on them, and what you do with the pen translates to the computer screen

2:59 pm

sciencegeek

But, Ata, I am only cleaning up photos not making art~

2:59 pm

Haz1558

Ah! Probably expensive and only really justifiable for semi-professional use, I suppose?

2:59 pm

Vicuna

Yep.

2:59 pm

Atalante

still a heck of a lot easier, sg

3:00 pm

Atalante

dedicated amateur use upwards

hello friends!

3:00 pm

I am that amateur!

3:00 pm

Why do the people who come up with computer names use words that are already in use? Like mouse and tablet, can they not invent new words?

3:00 pm

3:02 pm

Vicuna

So much for losing my added insulation from the holidays

3:04 pm

stidmama

oh dear, are the koi down far enough they are okay?

3:05 pm

sciencegeek

LOL The fountain is a Koi - Vietnamese pottery! No real koi, the raccoons would eat them

3:05 pm

3:06 pm

sciencegeek

too many nocturnal critters to have a koi pond at my house

3:06 pm

3:06 pm

dcseain

hi, nan

3:06 pm

dcseain

how cool, science

3:06 pm

stidmama

my dream is someday to put a nice big pond (the next door neighbors built a HUGE one) in the back to help keep it cool in the summer. We'll need little things like that in a few years.

3:06 pm

Vicuna

That's cool, too, science.

3:06 pm

stidmama

hey nan!

3:18 pm

FMitch

3:19 pm

3:19 pm

Haz1558

The rest of us aren't as privileged. Not that we're annoyed or anything.

3:19 pm

stidmama

3:21 pm

cybernan

ty haz -- what a weird word!

3:21 pm

Vicuna

Thanks, Haz.

3:21 pm

stidmama

thanks HAz! perfect clue!

3:22 pm

stidmama

it's a musical word.

3:22 pm

SeaSpray

very good clue haz

3:22 pm

Haz1558

It's musical and means a recurring fragment of music.

3:22 pm

Vicuna

Well, I guess that's true, FM. But isn't it your fault you have to carry all the blame in the first place?

3:22 pm

stidmama

I think. *looks up word*

3:22 pm

Haz1558

(I didn't know that before, but found out this evening)

3:22 pm

Haz1558

Glad the clue worked!

3:22 pm

stidmama

yep. music "a constantly recurring melodic fragment"

3:22 pm

stidmama

oh, Haz already got it! LOIL

3:22 pm

bojazz

thx Haz - great clue

3:23 pm

Soodle

Haz - I caught the first episode of Torchwood on one of those obscure Sky channels. Yum

3:23 pm

FMitch

oh heck and lol how do I argue out of that one and how the heck did I get into this position in the first palce, can anyone remember?

3:23 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome, bojazz.

3:23 pm

Haz1558

Soodle, you're not talking to the right person about Torchwood, I've never watched it! FM and Ata are the experts.

3:23 pm

Atalante

ok, I put a copy up as my pic, but it's pretty small. boo. FM and Vi, I sent you a decent size version!

3:24 pm

Vicuna

Thanks!

3:24 pm

cybernan

is the sh 7 just as obscure?

3:24 pm

Haz1558

Yes, it's obscure as well. (sh7)

3:24 pm

stidmama

SH 7 like a participle for the sh 5/12 that precedes

3:24 pm

Soodle

Aha! My last comment redirected to Ata & FM....

3:25 pm

Haz1558

sh7 - three letters for a female, two letters for a neutral, running together with sun damage.

3:25 pm

Atalante

you can see Silverclaws ear in the top left corner :)

3:25 pm

Atalante

yay Torchwood <3<3<3

3:25 pm

Haz1558

I've clued the first one below, cybernan.

3:25 pm

cybernan

ty -- another great clue

3:26 pm

Vicuna

Oh, most excellent, Ata! lol I can see that the tiles would become tiresome, but they do make a good backdrop.

3:26 pm

stidmama

thanks Haz! I didn't have that one yet

3:26 pm

Haz1558

She's not bad, is she? Grandpa would be so proud.

3:26 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome, stid and don't forget to plural it.

3:26 pm

Atalante

I didn't think I had your email, stiddy, but I do! I sent you a decent sized version too :)

3:26 pm

FMitch

good Ata, can now see what you mean about the tiles but think about how the tiles were in the tube in the war - not clean.

3:27 pm

Atalante

they look awesome, Vi, but by golly it's boring to colour them!

3:27 pm

stidmama

awesome. thanks atalante!

3:27 pm

Haz1558

No, because they hadn't invented Cif cream then.

3:27 pm

Vicuna

YEah, well, you've got to suffer for your art, right? lol

3:27 pm

stidmama

and it's time for me to make like a tree and leave....

3:27 pm

Atalante

lol yes yes, dont' we all know it!

3:27 pm

3:30 pm

FMitch

True - always makes me smile how many typos we make we can still read the posts.

3:30 pm

Vicuna

Very glass-half-full, Haz.

3:30 pm

Haz1558

I must be a bit of an optimist. I just know they've made me laugh out loud sometimes.

3:30 pm

FMitch

babblers are optomists aren't they?

3:30 pm

cybernan

*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help :)

3:31 pm

Congrats cnan.

3:31 pm

Haz1558

3:31 pm

Vicuna

lol... Speaking of typos, do you mean optimists or optometrists?

3:31 pm

Vicuna

Yay for cybernan!

3:31 pm

cybernan

any one want clues before I go and watch the curling playdowns?

3:31 pm

Haz1558

I think optimistic optometrists would see life through rose tinted specs.

3:32 pm

FMitch

She's clearly thinking out a good strategy.

3:37 pm

Atalante

3:48 pm

Atalante

she meows from wherever she is, I reply "Silverclaw!". She meows louder as she gets closer, I reply each time until eventually she finds me

3:48 pm

Atalante

just where I was 5 minutes ago, of course

4:09 pm

4:09 pm

Haz1558

She'll never keep up Emma's mousing skills if she gives her treats.

4:10 pm

Atalante

she already had normal dry treats. Uni has gone to buy her extra-special wet treats. Outrageous

4:10 pm

Dorens

i don't know haz. my lucy thinks that mice and moles and voles and baby chickadees are far better than any special treats i can find

4:10 pm

Haz1558

I think her mother needs to intervene.

4:11 pm

Atalante

I think you're right!

4:12 pm

Haz1558

Is your garden littered with the evidence of Lucy's hunting prowess, Dorens?

4:12 pm

Dorens

oh so absolutely littered (but in other weather... I rarely find things on top of the snow, and she is far more content to spend time indoors right about now)

4:12 pm

Haz1558

I suppose wildlife can't read the signs at the gate 'Abandon hope all ye who enter here.'

Vicuna

Yes, I got off quite lightly this time, Vi.

4:15 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome, Shirlockc.

4:15 pm

Atalante

4:15 pm

Vicuna

I just called you "Vi," Ata. I am completely losing my mind.

4:15 pm

Haz1558

I think Dorens is doing very well considering her intake of alcohol. Goodness, look at FM some days and she's mostly stone cold sober.

4:16 pm

Dorens

oh good, vi. glad to know that.. i was really having trouble pondering that one

4:16 pm

Haz1558

I mean, she's including commas and everything. That woman deserves a prize.

4:16 pm

Vicuna

*hands Doren a prize*

4:17 pm

Dorens

i actually can't count how many glasses i had.. i just know that there was casa mantalena (about which a movie was made) and then a lovely pouilly-fussÃ© which complemented my jambalaya perfectly

4:17 pm

Jayk

Afternoon, freezing (and alcoholic) babblers! Just getting into the bourbon myself.

4:17 pm

Vicuna

*but hits self over head with prize first, in the hope that it will pound some sense in*

4:17 pm

Dorens

4:17 pm

Haz1558

Good afternoon, Jayk.

4:29 pm

Dorens

4:29 pm

Jayk

EXACTLY, Hego! JUST what I was thinking

4:29 pm

Nancy Boy

well, has anyone got any magic advice/tips on how to recognise/treat a concussion?

4:29 pm

Haz1558

Up the creek without a paddle. The Spanish aunt, Mr Gore, Mr Garfunkel - babble would be a different place.

4:29 pm

Atalante

do spaniards even have uncles?

4:29 pm

hego

yes!

4:29 pm

Dorens

eyes nb, look at the pupils... are they dilated?

4:29 pm

Jayk

NB--thought about the emergency room?

4:30 pm

Dorens

(was married to a neurologist for 20 years... did get one or two good things out of those years)

4:30 pm

Atalante

see if the eyes can follow a pencil moved in front of them as well

4:30 pm

Haz1558

th8 - there are two. If you have th7, make the ending into a number for one, then make the th7 plural.

4:30 pm

hego

NB sleepiness, dizziness could be symptoms.confusion too.

4:30 pm

jmcnrick

is the person disoriented? are teh pupils dialated or different sizes?

4:30 pm

Dorens

hah haz, you presume too much!!!!!

4:30 pm

hego

Best to follow Jay's advice, though.

4:30 pm

Jayk

Hax--what if you DON'T have the th7?

4:30 pm

Haz1558

Then we clue it for you.

4:31 pm

Nancy Boy

thanks all, will put that to good use! Think he's probably concussed based on that, so probably better go look after him ;)

4:31 pm

Dorens

state of consciousness... don't let the possible concusseee go to sleep!

4:31 pm

Haz1558

th7 - th4/5 plus three quarters of the number before ten.

4:31 pm

Jayk

Sorry, NOT Hax. Ok, clue?

4:31 pm

hego

NB he should see a professional. Remember Natasha Richardson!

4:31 pm

Atalante

yes, if all he wants to do is sleep, take him to hospital

4:31 pm

Dorens

ty haz... have all t's now!!!!

4:32 pm

Nancy Boy

oh really?! what would happen if he fell asleep, Dorens? He is definitely confused.

4:32 pm

Haz1558

The th4/5 I'm talking about isn't the slim one, but the one after it.

4:32 pm

dcseain

thaks, haz, got all three from your 1st clue :)

4:32 pm

hego

And don't let him sleep!

4:32 pm

Dorens

4:32 pm

Dorens

and keep talking to him

4:32 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome, dc, glad it helped.

4:32 pm

Atalante

if they sleep, you can't monitor their state of consciousness

4:32 pm

hego

Get him to a hospital NOW< NB>

4:32 pm

dcseain

pasta's cooking, will be ready in a moment. :)

4:32 pm

Nancy Boy

4:33 pm

jmcnrick

4:36 pm

jmcnrick

4:37 pm

Dorens

i cannot possibly find time for another word game... am closing my eyse to chat!!!!!

Poor jmc. More worlds to conquer.

Very pleasanT Haz, lots of dogs around so Stew had a good time too

4:37 pm
