3:18 am

Haz1558

It was in the grid yesterday - that's why it was fresh in my mind. Or as fresh as my mind can be after a 306 grid!

3:19 am

mkl

Thanks sherb. That finishes my eights

3:19 am

Haz1558

Hello to all the greeters!

3:19 am

FranMag

haz, i didn't even finish yesterday, i didn't have time in the morning and then i played scrabble in the afternoon and didn't get to it!!

3:19 am

FMitch

There are a number of repeat words and some standard babblets too, not that I have found 1/2 of them yet.

3:20 am

mkl

Hello Haz. As soon as you clued I knew what it was. Didn't even have to look. We just had it.

3:20 am

Haz1558

It was a strange grid yestereay - lots of nice words and some absolutely weird ones from another planet.

3:21 am

sherb

today's in tough... :(

3:21 am

Angb

ta 8/40 - starts with scottish plaid. Add first vowel and plural

3:21 am

Haz1558

It's funny - when anybody asks for ha5/12 I automatically think haole.

3:21 am

Atalante

lol me too Haz!

3:22 am

Haz1558

Did you finish last night, Atalante?

3:22 am

Atalante

nope, just ran out of time

3:22 am

FMitch

Did you make it to the end Haz?
Morning Ata

3:23 am

FranMag

how come you can be a miscreant, but not a creant?

3:23 am

Haz1558

Yes I did, FMitch - and got the winter pots planted up. Tidying no2''s daughter's room was done, but it needs more attention.

3:24 am

mkl

85 to go. I'm off to bed. Nite all

3:24 am

FranMag

night mkl!

3:24 am

FMitch

wow, well done Haz, buzy day all round!

Haz1558

Good night mkl.

3:25 am

FMitch

*buzy? busy

3:25 am

Haz1558

It was quite funny being on and off the site yesterday - everybody being so excited about the co12 word.

3:25 am

Atalante

wow Haz :)

3:26 am

FranMag

haz, was it corse? i didn't finish, so i don't know if there was another.

3:27 am

Haz1558

Yes it was corse - he was born in Corsica, so if asked where he came from he could say 'Je suis corse'

3:27 am

FranMag

ah, now i get how it's related to your icon.

3:28 am

FranMag

and don't worry, i see spangles in your profile, your small icon is still napoleon for me.

3:28 am

Haz1558

Eduction in an icon!

3:28 am

Haz1558

Education even!

3:51 am

FranMag

lynxxx

Atalante

Flask1

Lol....I doubt it!!

3:53 am

Angb

4:03 am

Haz1558

I'll do what I can, sherb!

4:03 am

Haz1558

Good morning Odin.

4:04 am

Odin

Hey Haz...another good size grid, eh?

4:04 am

Haz1558

Yes - after yesterday's I was kind of hoping for smaller, but you work with what you've got.

4:04 am

Angb

Hi Odin

4:05 am

Haz1558

There are quite a few repeats from yesterday's as wel.

4:05 am

Odin

I too was inhopes of a wee one but alas I will be on this for hours...seems I can't wrap my head around them on Saturdays.

4:06 am

Odin

Saw many repeats...still were fairly fresh in my feeble brain and I looked at them as a gift!

4:06 am

Odin

Hey Angb

4:06 am

Haz1558

Well, if it's of any help, sherb has already pointed out that Kant and Sartre are not acceptable. Seems fair to me...

4:06 am

Odin

and to me also...

4:07 am

Odin

Must admit I tried kant so time ago to no avail!

4:07 am

Haz1558

You lose no points for trying!

4:08 am

Odin

Then I am getting points left and right because I make 'em up as I go...

4:12 am

mattygroves

Morning! Happy Saturday. How's the grid today?

4:12 am

Angb

Hi matty

4:13 am

Haz1558

Good morning matty - the grid is okay(ish). I'm still in the early stages (104) and I suspect it'll get nastier towards the end.

4:14 am

Atalante

can you imagine if you lost points for an unaccepted word

4:14 am

Odin

Mornin' Matty

4:15 am

Odin

I would be in serious trouble Ata!

4:15 am

mattygroves

Ata - bit your tongue woman!

4:15 am

Haz1558

We're not going to think about that one - it's on the banned list of thought subjects, along with 600+ grids.

4:15 am

Atalante

LOL :)

4:16 am

mattygroves

So what should I know about today's puzzle - is the nine a real word!

4:16 am

Haz1558

You'd probably have to rename it Iron Babble and only allow people to play it who could produce a certificate of mental health from their doctor.

4:16 am

Atalante

lol yes!

4:17 am

Haz1558

The site would be funded from sponsorship from drug companies advertising tranquilisers.

4:18 am

jazi

hey everyone :)

4:18 am

Odin

Hey jazi

4:18 am

Haz1558

Hello jazi.

4:20 am

jazi

time to try and re-wake up my brain

4:21 am

Odin

This grid will either wake it up or fry it

4:22 am

jazi

hopefully wake :)

4:22 am

Odin

agreed

4:23 am

Haz1558

The Russian royalty is back, though not quite in such numbers as yesterday.

4:24 am

Odin

I noticed too Haz

4:24 am

libarebel

I noticed-decided to keep icon

4:25 am

Odin

good chance lib

4:25 am

libarebel

ty, odin :)

4:25 am

Odin

good choice ... sorry

4:25 am

Odin

you can see what this grid has done to my brain in only a short time!

4:26 am

libarebel

:D I know...

4:27 am

Beast

hi everyone, how many word today

4:27 am

Haz1558

249 Beast

4:27 am

libarebel

sanity is a phantom (in the grid)

4:27 am

Beast

ok, that's quite a few, thanks haz

4:27 am

Odin

Hey Beast

4:28 am

mattygroves

Hi beast

4:28 am

mattygroves

cent

4:28 am

mattygroves

SORRY

4:29 am

Odin

the only ce 4 matty

4:29 am

Beast

hi odin & matty, how are you all today

4:29 am

Odin

Excellent Beast...you?

4:30 am

mattygroves

Well thanks - we're off to the ideal home exhibition later

4:30 am

Beast

had my daughter's 5th birthday party today, it was fantastic

4:31 am

Beast

wizard of oz theme, I go very over the top, but everything went perfectly

4:31 am

Odin

That's great Beast...over the top is the best!

4:32 am

Beast

i suppose the only problem was that I spent far too much money

4:33 am

Odin

Ah, but aren't the wee ones worth it! It's only money ;]

4:34 am

Haz1558

Take my advice and save every penny for their education (bitter and twisted having put one daughter through university with second daughter still there)

4:35 am

Beast

I agree I'd rather make it a wonderful day for her to remember.

4:35 am

Beast

In Aus we have a pay later sort of system for uni and very cheap education generally

4:36 am

Odin

I too have spent the fortune on higher education for two...but there is something magical about birthdays at age 5.

4:36 am

JFB

Its the quickest way to insolvency and insanity I've found Haz

4:37 am

Haz1558

The system in the UK is that students can apply for loans that can then be repaid once they start working. But it isn't enough and so parents have to top up. I don't begrudge it really, but it costs a lot!

4:38 am

Odin

We have a pre-paid college fund in Florida which also works if a child attends college out of the state.

4:38 am

Duval

In Aust. the student pay part of their educ. costs once they earn above a threshhold. Private school can be very expensive for parents.

4:39 am

Beast

I hope the system we have lasts, but who knows what it will be like by the time my daughter gets there.

4:39 am

JFB

Worth every penny - you can't get far without that piece of paper! Still we have the excitement of the degree ceremony for our son next month.

4:39 am

Duval

or my granddaughter!

4:39 am

Beast

fantastic, congratulations

4:39 am

Odin

Congrats JFB

4:39 am

Haz1558

My daughter graduated in July and it was a wonderful day - hope you have a good time, JFB!

4:40 am

Duval

thank you!

4:40 am

Beast

is that who the pic is of, she's beautiful

4:40 am

Duval

yep! Thanks!

4:41 am

JFB

Managed to get him through without too much debt - thats why I'm working harder than I've ever done before.

4:41 am

mattygroves

My daughter's in year 11 - we have it all to come!

4:42 am

mattygroves

Anyone care to clue the nine?

4:42 am

Haz1558

I've put up a pic of our graduation - the smiles are of relief!

4:42 am

jazi

im still in high school .. graduating in 5 weeks though :D ..

4:43 am

Haz1558

I don't have the 9 yet, matty - do you know what it starts with?

4:43 am

mattygroves

Nope...

4:43 am

Beast

jazi, that's fantastic good luck with any exams

4:43 am

Angb

It starts with ha Haz

4:43 am

JFB

Haz the pride is pretty obvious too - she's not just clever but lovely too

4:44 am

Haz1558

Thanks JFB! She's now a primary school teacher, teaching P1 and loving it.

4:44 am

jazi

:) thankss!

4:45 am

Atalante

haz, have you seen this? http://www.animalbloodregister.com/

4:47 am

Haz1558

I'll have a look, Atalante. We once used our first dog, Polka the dalmatian to give a blood transfusion in the surgery. It was 'interesting'.

4:48 am

Atalante

I can imagine! the dog on the front page is my husband's sister's dog, Molly! Sister and husband did the website for them :)

4:49 am

Haz1558

I hadn't realised there was a national register. It would probably only work for the mainland, though.

4:51 am

Haz1558

Anyway, this isn't getting me any closer to getting to the shops! I'd better go and will return to find the remaining words later. Have a good day al!

4:51 am

Odin

Later Haz

4:51 am

Angb

Bye Haz

4:51 am

mattygroves

See ya Haz

4:51 am

4:56 am

mattygroves

Does anyone have the nine?

4:56 am

Angb

Yep

4:57 am

mattygroves

Can I have a clue please? :D

4:57 am

Angb

It's a New Zealand lizard - it's proper name.

4:57 am

Kateq

ha 9/60

4:57 am

Kateq

plural of he 8/45

4:57 am

Angb

In fact the 9 is the plural

4:57 am

Kateq

builds on ha 6/21

4:58 am

Angb

It's popular name is tuatara!

4:58 am

Kateq

11:15 am

stidmama

I have another acquaintance (email list) near your home home Lisa who wrote last night that a big limb broke off a tree near her church and it broke some of the stained glass. Sounds like there will be a lot of cleaning up.
