12:01 am

Ankhorite

Heh! Helen, Lickety gets paid some tiny fraction of a cent for every time we click on an ad. You can go right back and click on a different one; he gets paid per click. It doesn't come NEAR to covering the cost of his site, much less his time; but if enough of us do it, it helps. It's a courtesy.

12:01 am

Ankhorite

Yeah, Metal, I think you did.

12:02 am

helenkeller

12:12 am

Ankhorite

12:13 am

Jacula

I have so many songs I want played at my funeral that there would be no time to play them all in the 20 mins or so allowed - so, they're going to have to have a party afterwards and play all I've asked for, if I'm not to haunt them! The song I want to 'go out' to, Lynyrd Skynyrd's live version of Free Bird will take up most of the allotted service time!

12:13 am

FranMag

i was here at the flip andree.

12:14 am

Ankhorite

Free Bird!? Oh, Jac!

12:14 am

Ankhorite

I kinda like "This War Is Over" by Melissa Etheridge for a funeral song.

12:14 am

Yvo

Helen im just leaving Garmisch to frankfurt im not home as yet but sure wish i was ,its a long flight

12:14 am

Andree

sorry didn't see you, too busy trying to work out the time thing, now I see 1+1 makes 2

12:14 am

jillibus

Clocks went back an hour in Canada too. I hate the dark afternoons coming up

12:15 am

tazpink

i think i will just make a stipulation that everyone must play scrabble at my wake and make a donation to the humane society o and wear pink lol

12:15 am

Jacula

Ankh - what is wrong with that? It's my life theme. Failing that it would be Elton John's 'Skyline Pigeon' or Black Sabbath's 'Laguna Sunrise'.

12:15 am

helenkeller

jacula - a few years ago, one of those grammar school girlfriends wanted us all to go to see cher - she used to be director of marketing for some computer company (us robotics, compaq, 3com, lucent -can't remeber which one it was at the time) anyway she got us all tickets on her 'expense account' & the opening band was that very band - lou bega, didn't know them then (although everyone said i would recognize them) & still don't know them now - but if you like mambo music, you may want to check out the iguanas, esp. their some nuevo bugaloo

12:15 am

metaleather

I like it better this way.

12:16 am

Jacula

And, to be brutally honest, Ankh, 'this bird will never be changed' by anyone.

12:16 am

Ankhorite

Taz, such an EXCELLENT plan! I want everyone to wear white, like the suffragists.

12:16 am

helenkeller

omg - it's the return of chatty cathy - i didn't realize i wrote all that much! but i did say i was in a chatty mood before

12:16 am

Ankhorite

Nuevo Boogaloo sounds like it would be a blast.

12:16 am

libarebel

I want ding dong the witch is dead to shock everyone :)

12:16 am

metaleather

lol Helen....... I used to have a Chatty Cathy paper doll

12:16 am

Ankhorite

Hey, Jac, it's your funeral... you should have what you want. :)

12:17 am

helenkeller

12:18 am

12:19 am

12:19 am

helenkeller

LOL fran - yeah chatty cathy had a string you pulled & she said - i don't remember what - my sister had one, i didn't :(

Jacula

One good thing about being an independant woman, even though I have a 'new' love now... is that no one locks my kitchen or flips my lights off or tells me when it's time to sleep! Oh LOL! Jolie Jacqueline has just come off Windows Media Player into my headphones now.

12:24 am

Jacula

Eric Cartman from South Park's version of 'Oh Holy Night' playing now - cracks me up every time!

I don't sound quite like Ozzy - haven't done the drugs. He doesn't sound like him either for the same reason... but take a Brummie born girl and a Walsall (Black Country) born lad and you may well find Ozzy somewhere in there.

2:27 am

Oh, and Sharon agrees with me! Yes, THAT sharon.

2:56 am

Haz1558

Quantities of them!

2:56 am

Haz1558

I wonder does he still keep them?

2:57 am

sherb

don't know... haven't seen them mentioned for a while... Ken is a local round here... sometimes see him in Waitrose on a Saturday...

2:58 am

Jacula

Damn! Haz has lost 5lbs and I'VE MAYBE GAINED 10.

2:58 am

Haz1558

Generous is my middle name.

2:59 am

sherb

no more chocolate willies for you...

2:59 am

Jacula

From now on shemay be known as 'THAT BITCH HAZ' even though I luv her!

3:00 am

Haz1558

I'm saying no4/8

3:00 am

Jacula

Maybe it would be nicer if I referred to her as a spanielle?

3:01 am

sherb

now how could I miss that word!! ...a good Yorkshire lass like me...

3:01 am

Jacula

Haz - No idea what you're saying re today's grid - not doing it yet.

3:02 am

Jacula

sherb - don't care! Real thing is nicer anyway!

3:02 am

Jacula

I didn't type that! A troll typed it!

3:03 am

Haz1558

You'll work it out from the context. It's the Yorkshire version of Manuel saying 'I know nothing', except in this case it's saying nothing.

3:03 am

FMitch

I was pleasantly surprised when enable allowed that no4/8

3:05 am

Haz1558

I know - no rhyme nor reason with dear enable.

3:05 am

Jacula

Just doing some castanet playing and flamenco dancing now. Bohemian Rapshody in my headphones. I still miss Fred so much! Can't believe he's gone.

3:06 am

lshult

don't forget to make it (the no4/8) a plural as well, Hi everyone

3:07 am

FMitch

Doh! and Hi Ishult haven't seen you for a while.

3:07 am

sherb

hi lshult :) ...West Ham doing a bit better after this weekend...

3:07 am

FranMag

hi Ishult!

3:08 am

lshult

Hey, Jacula, couldn't agree more. Saw the mighty Freddie & co at Milton Keens back in '82. One of the best days of my life.

3:09 am

lshult

Thanks sherb, breathing a little easier now, but only a little!!

3:10 am

Jacula

Ishult - I saw the band back in the 70s when they were sttill,, tentively trying to be famoous... nothing, other thsn The Beatles has tailed or topped them since.

3:10 am

lshult

FM- been playing alot lately, but don't always have time to chat.

3:11 am

FMitch

Well it's goo dto see you are still around :)

3:12 am

Jacula

And, if anyone wants to talk abnout The Rolling Stones, dare I say The Facess (Rod stewart's so-called backing band, did all that stuff in a far funkier way?

3:13 am

FranMag

be back in a bit

3:13 am

Jacula

Don't get me wrong - I love the Stones.

3:15 am

sherb

I thought 'freon' would be a word, but apparently it's a registered trademark...

3:16 am

FMitch

Tell me sherb I ahve tried that so many time this morning, it was driving me nuts.

3:18 am

Haz1558

I never even knew it was a word. What is it?

3:18 am

Angel_Meez

hi!

3:18 am

Haz1558

Hello Angel.

3:19 am

sherb

stuff in fridges... not manky old lettuce, but gas used as coolant...

3:19 am

Angel_Meez

i found bosnia, but it did not accept it.

3:19 am

helenkeller

i have hit a wall at 82

3:19 am

Angel_Meez

(sorry Bosnia with a capital)

3:20 am

Haz1558

Ah well, that explains why I didn't know it! Bosnia wouldn't be accepted because it has a capital letter. The dictionary (enable) doesn't accept proper names.

3:21 am

Angel_Meez

mm...yea u'r right

3:21 am

Angel_Meez

does any1 here play runescape?

3:21 am

Haz1558

There are a couple of science words I do know - pr5/12 and pr6/21 were agents reckoned to have something to do with CJD

3:21 am

Angel_Meez

cuz i do

3:22 am

Haz1558

No, babble is my only vice.

3:22 am

sherb

I'm assuming your fingers are crossed...

3:23 am

Haz1558

The thunder and lightning has started outside....

3:23 am

Angel_Meez

3:23 am

FMitch

Flask1

Morning all...can someone please clue me AR6/18?

3:24 am

Haz1558

3:25 am

helenkeller

hi flask!

3:25 am

FMitch

Hi helen
Good to see you too. Yes there are at least 2 others that I've seen with it.

3:25 am

sherb

old Babble word Flask... sounds like a type of sherry...

3:26 am

Haz1558

Flask - Mr Onassis, then a universal distress signal rearranged

3:26 am

sherb

...but actually a musical term meaning 'in the manner of an air or melody'...

3:26 am

Douglas

Hello everyone...

3:27 am

helenkeller

hiya doug!

3:27 am

sherb

3:27 am

Haz1558

Good morning Douglas - you're looking very hirsute this morning.

3:27 am

helenkeller

doug - how are you liking the vikings tomorrow?

3:27 am

FMitch

Hi douglas

3:27 am

Douglas

Well, I hits him with everything I had right square between the eyes.
I says, Im gonna gitcha, you son of a bitch ya, for spoutin that pack of lies.
If theres one thing I cant abide, its an ethnocentric racist;
Now you take back that thing you said bout aristitle onassis.

No, they aint makin jews like jesus anymore,
We dont turn the other cheek the way we done before.
You could hear that honky holler as he hit that hardwood floor
lord, they sho aint makin jews like jesus anymore!
All right!

3:29 am

Douglas

Maybe the Vikings aren't completely mediocre...I was expecting them to be exposed against the Bears, and they weren't...

3:29 am

sherb

Douglas exemplifies an interesting form of word association... you say a word... and he comes up with a song...

3:30 am

Douglas

It's a song by one of the candidates for Texas Governor, the legendary Kinky Friedman...

3:30 am

Flask1

Haz...there is only one S????

3:30 am

Haz1558

No, Flask, there are two. The word ends in a vowel.

3:31 am

Haz1558

Scrub that - not two s but ends in a vowel.

3:31 am

Flask1

Got it!...thanks!

3:31 am

helenkeller

lol douglas - i interpret that as 'they're probably gonna mop up the dome with the patriots" :)

3:31 am

Haz1558

My universal distress signal was wrong.....

3:31 am

sherb

*pretends no to notice...*

3:32 am

Jacula

Haz1558

Lift your head off the keyboard, Jacula and go to bed! Out the door and up the stairs (I'm guessing) Not the front door though.

3:37 am

Jacula

I wil try to by-pass Haz's unkind remark about the extra 10lbs to lose.:(

3:37 am

Haz1558

Good night helen, you sleep well as well.

3:38 am

Haz1558

It's the imaginary 10 lbs. I sure haven't lost 5 lbs!

3:38 am

Jacula

Hi Andree

"When a *****'s not engaged in his employment...
Or maturing his *****ious little plans
His capacity for innocent enjoyment
Is just the same as any honest man."

3:57 am

Haz1558

Gilbert and Sullivan? But I'm blowed if I can fill in the missing stars.

3:59 am

Haz1558

Got it - already had it, but was trying to work in a policeman somewhere!

3:59 am

FMitch

G&S on a Monday morning, too much for me.

4:00 am

Douglas

It was the song sung by the Sargeant of the cowardly constabulary in The Pirates of Penzance, bemoaning the necessity of depriving his erring fellow creatures of liberty...

4:00 am

Haz1558

po6/21 and po8/45 - cyanide and the one who administers it.

4:01 am

FMitch

Ah, already got those ones thanks Haz.

4:01 am

Douglas

Hamlet's Uncle Claudius was a po8/45

4:01 am

Haz1558

I thought you would, FMitch!

4:03 am

Douglas

**** is a genre of film...

4:06 am

Haz1558

It is also an anagram of ****.

4:07 am

Douglas

Is it just me, or do any of you think the Esteban guy selling guitars and guitar lessons is most likely named Steve Schwarzinski?

4:07 am

FMitch

Talking of constabulary (tenuous link) - have you got the fe5/16 (& pl) that went to pr6/21 and became a pr8/45 for his sins?

4:08 am

Haz1558

Yes - a pretty good link, if you ask me! Did you ever watch the TV series (not the antipodean one)

4:08 am

Douglas

He went to pr6/21 and became a pr8/45, because he was a po8/45...

4:08 am

Andree

been on phone, thx for an clue fmitch

4:10 am

FMitch

yw Andree. ... LOL Douglas

Haz arre you referring to the TV prog The pr8?

4:11 am

Haz1558

Yes - I have vague memories of it, and now realise that nobody else could understand what was going on either.

4:12 am

Haz1558

is5/10 take the thorn from the Scottish national flower.

4:13 am

FMitch

Vague memories here too. :)

4:13 am

Flask1

a clue please for fr516?

4:14 am

Douglas

I'm actually quite glad I didn't see the last show in the series...

4:14 am

Haz1558

fr5/16 is french for brother, especially named Jacques.

4:14 am

Haz1558

Silly question to ask what happened, Douglas!

4:14 am

FMitch

Why, what happened Doug?

4:15 am

Flask1

Thanks Haz....I was using the wrong R....

4:15 am

Douglas

Number 1's face is covered by a mask, and number 6 takes off the mask, only to discover his own face...

4:16 am

FMitch

oooer!

4:19 am

Haz1558

So then the whole series is made clear, or even more confusing?

4:19 am

Andree

en6/18 please

4:20 am

Andree

4:20 am

Douglas

Prisoner: Where am I?
Number Two: In The Village.
Prisoner: What do you want?
Number Two: Information.
Prisoner: Which side are you on?
Number Two: That would be telling. We want information, information, information...
Prisoner: You won't get it.
Number Two: By hook or by crook we will. Prisoner: Who are you?
Number Two: The new Number Two.
Prisoner: Who is Number One?
Number Two: You are Number Six.
Prisoner: I am not a number. I am a free man. Number Two: Ha, ha, ha, ha....

4:21 am

Haz1558

I worry about you, Douglas.

4:21 am

Andree

sorry

4:22 am

Douglas

Possibly one of the most disappointing final episodes in the history of television...

4:23 am

Haz1558

Channel Four will probably do a programme soon entitled 'The 100 most disappointing final episodes in the history of television'. They've done just about everything else.

4:23 am

Haz1558

What are its competitors, Douglas?

4:23 am

FMitch

Very true HAz

4:24 am

Haz1558

What annoys me is that they wheel in people to give opinions who are far too young to have ever seen the programmes/films under discussion.

4:25 am

Douglas

Quantum Leap

4:25 am

Douglas

I saw that offered as a competitor at YouTube, where the intro is available...

4:25 am

Haz1558

I enjoyed it as a series - how did it end?

4:28 am

Haz1558

I've just realised that my surname is in the grid. Not acceptable to enable, though.

4:30 am

FMitch

So it is Haz!

4:31 am

Douglas

She turned me into a ****!

4:31 am

Douglas

A ****?

4:31 am

Douglas

I got better...

4:32 am

hydra

clue for en6/18 please? Hi Haz, Mitch, Douglas

4:32 am

Haz1558

Now scanning through all four letter words to see if I can make sense of Douglas.

4:32 am

Douglas

Hello hydra...

4:32 am

Douglas

It's a Monty Python and the Holy Grail reference, Haz...

4:33 am

FMitch

Hi hydra - haven't got an en6 yet.

4:33 am

Haz1558

Then I'll not get it in a million years!

4:33 am

Haz1558

I don't have en6 either, hydra.

4:34 am

hydra

Ah well, I shall keep trying. This is my 2nd visit; I popped in first at about 7 am.

4:34 am

Andree

me either hydra

4:34 am

Douglas

Me neither hydra...

4:34 am

FMitch

hydra did you see sprite when you were on earlier?

4:34 am

Haz1558

en plus a short word for a piece of off-shore land.

4:35 am

hydra

No, no sing of sprite. Jacula was there.

4:35 am

Angb

Haz you are a genius. A couple of more words before bed

4:35 am

FMitch

Thats what I thought - unusual not to see sprite of a morning.

4:35 am

hydra

I meant 'sign', but she WAS singing! Had music on her headphones.

4:35 am

Haz1558

Not a genius at all. I used morewords!

4:36 am

Andree

thx haz

4:36 am

Andree

whats morewords haz

4:36 am

Douglas

morewords should be listed as an FOB (Friend of Babble)

4:36 am

Angb

Morewords - a very useful tool

4:37 am

hydra

Just found that en6/18 if anyone else needs a clue.

4:37 am

Haz1558

Andree - it's a great resource. www.morewords.com. Type in the first two letters at least of the word you are looking for, dashes for the number of remaining letters, press a button and it brings up a list. Then you just have to scan through. I use it in preference to monkey-typing!

4:39 am

Andree

thx haz, will try it

4:40 am

hydra

so will I

4:40 am

Haz1558

This is where I wish that I was on commission from morewords!

4:42 am

hydra

Just tried and it gave me the op5 right away!

4:43 am

Haz1558

Escellent - it really is very useful and I think your brain does absorb the other words as you are scanning through.

4:43 am

Haz1558

Excellent -that should have read!

4:44 am

Douglas

One of the great things about Babble is learning about subatomic particles...

4:44 am

hydra

we knew what you meant anyway

4:44 am

Andree

I just tried it too, bit of a pest going back and forth though

4:45 am

hydra

know what you mean...

4:45 am

Haz1558

Andree - reduce it down in size, minimize it and then press on it when you want to consult it.

4:47 am

Haz1558

At the latter stages of the grid I have the list and morewords minimized and can juggle back and forth. Completely non-technical language, but hopefully you know what I mean!
