12:56 am

cybernan

the photos are so small sometimes it's hard to tell what they are, helen -- not really a dog person -- like cats a lot better!

bundy

ponting got 196 runs

2:09 am

sunny09

Aust put in a fair effort for the 1st innings

2:09 am

bundy

so - first innings total is over 600 runs

2:09 am

lynxxx

Thats a lot isn't it - which side is he on?

2:10 am

bundy

he is on aystralias side and that is HUGE

2:10 am

Atalante

I really don't know why England bothered to turn up

2:10 am

bundy

most batsmen that i know retire if they reach 1000 runs

2:10 am

bundy

it's all kinds of awesome - especially after all the trash talking

2:11 am

sunny09

australia Lynxxx.. the english may cop a beating for the 1st match!!

2:11 am

bundy

gawd that was sposed to be 100 runs - it's very hard work beyond that

2:12 am

sunny09

1000 in a first innings would be a stretch...lol

2:12 am

lynxxx

Hooray for us then! I won't ask any more questions as I am just showing my utter ingorance about the game.

2:12 am

bundy

i gotta run myself - good luck guys

2:12 am

Atalante

hello Sprite!

2:43 am

sprite

Son is ill, but otherwise ok. Some kind of strange flue, with aching legs and arms... why can't they cough and sneeze like the rest of the world!

2:44 am

Angb

Male, sprite

2:44 am

jillibus

{{{{sprite!}}}}

2:44 am

sprite

LOL Angb - that says it all.
*hugs* right back for Ata and Jilli :)

2:44 am

Atalante

men are always awkward!

2:46 am

sprite

I am never quick with visiting a doctor, but I wasn't sure about this one. So we checked, and doc confirmed: a virus infection, has to be cured with rest, drinks and lots of TLC.

2:46 am

Angb

What more can anyone ask for sprite.

2:47 am

Flask1

morning all!

2:47 am

sprite

yeah, good news, I can stop worrying and start adapting the day to a sick boy :)

2:47 am

sprite

hi Flask!

2:47 am

Angb

Hiya Flask

2:48 am

Atalante

maybe he can come and help his mum with babble when he's feeling a bit better after TLC and hot chocolate!

2:49 am

Flask1

Am sure you all agree, we can never get too much TLC!

2:49 am

sprite

he always wants too! Even finds some valid words every now and then, though he only started learning english about a year ago now.

2:49 am

Flask1

frey

2:50 am

sprite

true Flask :)

2:50 am

Angb

Could do with some myself - wouldn't it be luvverly - without the virus though

2:50 am

Angb

How old is he sprite?

2:50 am

Flask1

too right Angb....;)

2:50 am

sprite

He is 10

2:50 am

sprite

come over here and I will pamper you, Angb :)

2:50 am

Atalante

leave him a few easy words to find :)

2:51 am

Angb

Aaah a little young to be under the weather with one of those nasties.

2:51 am

Angb

Ta sprite {{{}}}

2:52 am

Angb

Might take you up on that one day - but I've told my 2 boys we're not taking them anywhere until they are less fussy with food.

2:52 am

Flask1

He's still at that age where you want to take the virus from him and suffer for him

2:52 am

sprite

and he is so brave! He had a test at school today he prepared very well for, and he wanted to go anyway, to do the test. But when I saw he really was in pain, I said no way. Health is more important than tests, any day.

2:53 am

sprite

true Flask! Stupid world, where mums can't do that for their kids.

2:53 am

sprite

You just bring them, Angb. My kids never fuss over food, they will set the example ;)

2:53 am

Angb

Yes ... I have a 6 year old - who get's a sore neck ???? Then you realise he meant his throat. They just don't understand what's going on, and that it will end.

2:54 am

sprite

is mums right? I guess it should have read moms? Darn, all mixed up, lol.

2:54 am

Flask1

lol.....mine is 27, still at home, and I still feel the same with him

2:55 am

Angb

Sprite said a word

2:55 am

sprite

Argh - soooo sorry. Even had it. Should have known better.

2:55 am

Angb

They should let german words into enable

2:56 am

sprite

we had anlage and anlagen the other day. That's german.

2:56 am

Atalante

mums = english, m*ms = american :)

2:56 am

Angb

I wondered where those had come from.

2:56 am

Flask1

the word singe was clued to me yesterday as a backwards german babbler........so funny!

2:57 am

Flask1

Scottish/Irish = Mams

2:57 am

sprite

ah great! Well, that's one thing: they taught me british english at school, and most of the english I come across is american - I will NEVER get those straightened out anymore.

2:59 am

Flask1

inter

2:59 am

Flask1

sorry!

2:59 am

sprite

Last word added: "inter" at 2.59 am

2:59 am

Flask1

lol

3:00 am

Atalante

can't you enter a word I haven't got, please!

3:00 am

jillibus

Canadian English is a mixture and anything goes -- we have mums and m*ms, colours and colors, cosy and cozy, etc etc

3:00 am

Flask1

Oh Atal....I keep trying......one of these days!!

3:00 am

sprite

so... what's this Greenland thing, Ata? You on holidays, traveling, or just making believe?

3:00 am

Haz1558

Good morning all.

Microsoft Word has created a generation of American spellers in NZ. We use English spelling normally

3:01 am

Angb

See you jilli

jillibus

My email client gives a choice of UK English and USA

3:02 am

FMitch

Morning all
Changed my icon ready for the day.

3:02 am

Atalante

why would Word do that? It has UK and US English dictionaries ...

3:02 am

Angb

That's unusual - which is it? jilli

3:02 am

jillibus

hello FMitch

3:03 am

sprite

there was this joke I came across some time ago. About the British going to rule the world. Somewhere in it was the notion: "There doesn't exist a thing like american english. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf" :)

3:03 am

Angb

Comes US as default - and it seems the kids know no difference, or haven't figured out how to change it!

3:03 am

FMitch

Hi jilli are you up late or early?

3:06 am

sprite

and at that farm he had a er.... er...

3:06 am

spanner

No, none at all. My days respite last week fell through...Ive just got her off to sleep.... Sorry to hear about your son, it can be real nasty...

Angb

And on that farm he had a te 4/4 (well the farm was near the sea)

3:09 am

Atalante

and an er4/4

3:09 am

sprite

So why won't my fe6 become a 7?

3:09 am

Atalante

because you haven't added the right letter, obviously!!

3:09 am

sprite

because the 7 is not the plural, of course.

3:10 am

lynxxx

and there was probably some me6.21 flying around too

3:10 am

Atalante

:)

3:11 am

sprite

grin! So what about the Greenland, Ata?

3:11 am

Angb

There are lots of little birds

3:11 am

I hate to see a good Q go wasted. But it is really no use today.

3:13 am

Angb

But it stands out so much - hard to ignore as well

3:14 am

Crone

now how about the other fe6/27 & fe7/48 - not that i'm not grateful but ...

3:14 am

sprite

Dutch word for chorus of a song = refrein. And it is in here. And it is not valid. Drives me bananas.

3:15 am

Angb

It's that ei combo isn't it sprite

3:16 am

sprite

yes! :)

3:16 am

Angb

crone - the other fe 6 sounds likes its wild - spelt different but very like the weasel

3:16 am

bookwomen

fe 7/48 add sometime vowel to fe 6/27 weasel

3:18 am

3:27 am

sprite

oh no, that was the 7/40, sorry.

3:28 am

Eva

3:28 am

Haz1558

re7/40 - the headmistress of a finishing school

3:30 am

Eva

3:30 am

Crone

3:30 am

lynxxx

Eva - the Ls are a babblette

3:30 am

Crone

there are 2 me4's that i cannot work out - one is in the dictionary but it won't let me enter it

3:31 am

Eva

lesne

3:31 am

Haz1558

Enable doesn't always accept what other dictionaries do. It's very frustrating!

3:31 am

Eva

I really should go back to sleep until my brain and hands are linked

3:32 am

lynxxx

Eva - le4.5 & plural

3:32 am

Crone

3:32 am

emceleste

3:33 am

Crone

yep

3:33 am

Eva

there's the me4/6-that note to oneself, then the same thing with a consonant at the end instead of vowel, then the black bird

3:33 am

sprite

totally

3:33 am

emceleste

aha. good trick... grrrr babble

3:33 am

Haz1558

I don't know if they are the first, but one is a reminder, and the other is the beginning of the blackbird. Not using the list yet so this may not be what you are looking for.

3:33 am

sprite

just taking up space that would have been filled better by a vowel.

3:34 am

Crone

nope got them

3:35 am

Crone

how about the fe6 that doesn't hunt rabbits?

3:35 am

Haz1558

Change the last consonant of the animal to get a word that looks wild

3:35 am

Eva

change the last letter crone

3:35 am

Angb

It sounds like a word for wild - change last letter on end of the other fe

3:35 am

sprite

back in a bit, checking on Son.

3:36 am

Crone

I feel really guilty playing this, lol my dogs are looking at me with doe eyes as if to say walk me now lol

5:15 am

Haz1558

Dogs everywhere have perfected that look! What's the weather like? Can you use that as an excuse to them?

5:16 am

jean1953

good morning hodag and hello merk:)

5:33 am

Merk

Hey, Jean. I started from the top and got the em5, but not the 4. Is it a totally odd word ... what a question for Babble.

5:34 am

jean1953

it certainly is i'm not good at clues but try em 6th letter of alphabet then plural hope this helps

5:35 am

Merk

It does, Jean. Thanks.

5:35 am

5:36 am

jean1953

its a bit strange with some words, i have four left and could be here some time lol

5:38 am

P.J.

it looks interesting but I'm sure it will take a while.

5:38 am

Merk

en7 is not a plural of the en 6 is it? I am stuck.

5:40 am

jean1953

no its not think road sign when you cannot go somewhere pluralise it

5:41 am

Merk

It's a plural all right, but of a totally different word. It gets so confusing when you can start words from two totally different directions, and there's a lot of that here.

5:41 am

jean1953

I know it can throw you off the scent lol

5:43 am

Merk

er 4 ... I have the pl sea bird and the wrong, but can't find the third. I need another e or something.

Anniebrook

hi scrabbler

10:34 am

Scrabbler

Hi Annie, rolin, et al...OK, I'm diving in

It certainly has a few words that are interesting.

10:35 am

Ka&Ba

Phantom: uadragintesimal

rolin

lmao..

10:35 am

Anniebrook

good one, Ka

10:36 am

Ka&Ba

Yep..... almost had it

10:36 am

LoriP

LOL is there a plural for that?

10:36 am

rolin

ok..heres a clue..the first word...em4/8...doesnt exist in dictionary.com..doesnt give me confidence..

10:36 am

Ka&Ba

two or three?

10:37 am

LoriP

em 4 is a weird one

10:37 am

Anniebrook

em and large point tile and plural

10:38 am

EvaNadine

its UNBELIEVABLE. ;)

10:38 am

spellit

Think electromotive force for em4/8

10:38 am

LoriP

it's the difference in electric potential, by definition.

10:38 am

Ka&Ba

em 4/8 --- made by the worlds finest gourmands: che**

10:39 am

Scrabbler

That em4,8 is in the Scrabble dictionary

10:39 am

Anniebrook

okay, please clue for in 8/55, please

10:39 am

spellit

Grid also accepts fets which is abbrev for field effect transistors

10:39 am

Ka&Ba

You should keep it there!!

10:40 am

spellit

in8 is word for someone who suggests something from information

10:40 am

Ka&Ba

in 8 --- the actor who implies

10:40 am

harpjane

mo6?

10:41 am

spellit

build on the in5/16

10:41 am

spellit

mo6 is alt spelling for a child born of a marriage forbidden in Judaism

10:41 am

Ka&Ba

Ka&Ba

10:43 am

spellit

Some really odd words today

10:43 am

LoriP

Congrats spellit!

10:43 am

Ka&Ba

mo 6 is a contradiction

10:44 am

Scrabbler

The poor vowels are outnumbered, and pushed aside

10:44 am

Anniebrook

*diving into grid looking for in 8* splash!

10:45 am

Ka&Ba

perhaps mo 6 more accurately has gender issues

10:45 am

From newspaper----An earthquake with a magnitude of at least 4.5 struck off the northwest coast of the Big Island on Thursday in the same area where two stronger temblors struck last month.
The quake, centered about 11 miles northwest of Puuanahulu, shook homes on the Big Island, Maui and Oahu, but it did not produce a tsunami threat, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.

The U.S. Geological Survey estimated its magnitude at 5.0; the Tsunami Warning Center estimated it at 4.5.

The quake knocked out electrical service to about 5,900 customers in North Kona and Kalaoa on the Big Island for a little more than an hour, Hawaii Electric Light Co. said. No other damages were reported

I just bought the grammar book: Eats, Shoots and Leaves. Has anyone seen it. It's great!

9:40 pm

haxored

No, but it has a catchy title

9:40 pm

haxored

the comma makes all the difference

9:40 pm

LeslieAnn

right, it is a joke about a panda, right jane?

9:40 pm

harpjane

think about it, with the commas, we're talking about a guy who robs a diner.

9:41 pm

harpjane

think about it, with the commas, we're talking about a guy who robs a diner.

9:41 pm

harpjane

without the commas, its about what a panda does.

9:41 pm

haxored

One of the many "joys" of the English language

9:42 pm

LeslieAnn

A panda walks into a cafÃ©. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and proceeds to fire it at the other patrons.
"Why?" asks the confused, surviving waiter amidst the carnage, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.
"Well, I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."
The waiter turns to the relevant entry in the manual and, sure enough, finds an explanation. "Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

9:43 pm

Punctuate this so that it makes sense:

9:48 pm

LeslieAnn

9:48 pm

LeslieAnn

9:49 pm

harpjane

Jim, where John had "had", had had "had had." "Had had" was what the others had had.

9:49 pm
