12:20 am

meliae

lynxxx

Hi girls - and Pigeon

3:46 am

Uneaixoise

hey, lynxxx :-)

3:46 am

pinkhatlil

G'Day Lynxxx!!

3:46 am

Atalante

its officially Queen Mary and Westfield, part of UCL. Well, I wanted to do marine biology, and QM had marine and freshwater biology degrees. I really liked it there until they said that fieldwork was done in the Thames ...

3:48 am

pinkhatlil

LOL, do fish even live in the Thames, its so dirty! That is enough to put any girl off...do you regret not going through with it?

3:49 am

Atalante

exactly! I ended up going to Bangor and doing marine biology there which I adored. So that was fab. But I would have loved Queen Mary, I'm sure

3:49 am

FranMag

Aloha Babblers!

3:49 am

pinkhatlil

Hi frannie!!!

3:49 am

Uneaixoise

aloha!

3:49 am

lynxxx

Hi Franny !

3:50 am

Atalante

frannie!

3:50 am

FranMag

hi une, lynxxx, pink, ata!

3:50 am

FranMag

ata, do bad you couldn't do your fieldwork in Guam, our University had the best marine biology department.

3:51 am

pinkhatlil

marine biology... interesting! what does that consist of, other than the obvious?

3:51 am

Atalante

I did a lot of PhD fieldwork in Australia and the Philippines. That made up for the Thames!

3:52 am

pinkhatlil

so what do you do now ata?

3:53 am

FranMag

i wonder if the Thames is like our Ala Wai Canal? They dredged it 2 years ago and found a new species of blind shrimp that had evolved in the muck.

3:53 am

Atalante

not a lot apart from the obvious really! Most marine biologists work either in fisheries or coastal ecology. I sort of veered off the normal career ladder and went and did my PhD in fossil fish, and I still work on fossil fishies now

3:53 am

Atalante

sounds about right, Fran!

3:53 am

FranMag

thames is in the grid. :-)

3:54 am

pinkhatlil

yes that wouldn't surprise me fran if they found blind fishes in the Thames

3:55 am

FranMag

yeah, that shrimp was an ugly little thing

3:56 am

pinkhatlil

not edible i take it...in saying that who would eat it lol

3:57 am

FranMag

here's a picture
http://www.granneman.com/blog/
wp-content/shrimp.jpg

3:57 am

Atalante

ugly little thing!

3:58 am

FranMag

yep! :-) definitely not edible pink!

4:00 am

FranMag

off the subject, but don't you think it's great we can talk to each other half way across the world and find pictures about the subject in an instant to share?

4:00 am

FranMag

i just love technology

4:01 am

Atalante

its wonderful!

4:01 am

lynxxx

its all too amazing isn't Fran - and even more so for an antique like me

4:02 am

FranMag

aw lynxxx, your pineapple doesn't look a day over 3 days old, you don't seem ancient at all. :-)

4:03 am

lynxxx

TY

4:05 am

pinkhatlil

does anyone have the 2nd en7/28 please?

4:06 am

FranMag

not I pink, only 97 words so far

4:06 am

pinkhatlil

thanks frannie

4:07 am

lynxxx

en7.28 is to beg or plead

4:07 am

lynxxx

(but may not be the second!)

4:07 am

FranMag

thanks lynxxx! needed the last part of that too.

4:08 am

pinkhatlil

thanks lynxxx it was the second one :)

4:11 am

hydra

Just had to go away. Back now. Atalante, i went to Bangor too!!! I studied English there. Way before you, no doubt.

4:11 am

FranMag

hi hydra!

4:11 am

hydra

Hi Fran. How's things?

4:12 am

Atalante

you did, hydra?! isnt it a lovely place to study

4:12 am

FranMag

just great hydra. :-)

4:13 am

hydra

It was a beautiful place. I did all my studying on Benllech beach. My sister went there after me and started mountain climbing. She still does it at the age of 57.

4:13 am

hydra

Glad things are good for you, Fran. I'm OK too.

4:13 am

Atalante

I spent most of my time there walking up mountains too

4:14 am

lynxxx

...singing "the hills are alive....I can see it now

4:14 am

hydra

Oh yes!

4:14 am

hydra

Actually, I spent more of my time in the pub.

4:14 am

lynxxx

lolol

4:16 am

FranMag

hydra, didn't know you had a blog. i just added you to my RSS feeds.

4:16 am

Atalante

sounds familiar. but we lived in the pubs over in menai bridge rather than bangor

4:17 am

hydra

We went there sometimes. Most of the time, though, we were in the Castle, or another one, The Ship I think, where they had a folk club. I played guitar and sang.

4:17 am

hydra

My blog has been a bit depressing lately, Fran. I must liven it up! Have you got one?

4:18 am

Atalante

was the Ffridd bar there when you were there? On the old Ffriddoedd site?

4:18 am

lynxxx

so I guess pr6.24 is Hydra's icon?

4:18 am

FranMag

no I don't hydra, i just read tons of them. :-)

4:18 am

i thought so, the pubs name Ffriddeod gave it away!

4:21 am

Atalante

I was in Rathbone for my first year, and then up on the new Ffridd site for my 3rd. For the second I lived in Menai Bridge

4:21 am

hydra

I was in Old Hall my first year, then digs, then Rathbone for my third. I did a ouija board session and got the hall visited by a ghost!!!

4:22 am

Atalante

yay for Rathbone!

4:22 am

hydra

Just got the word, lynxxx. Very good :)

4:23 am

hydra

I think they'd just started marine biology when I was there in the Sixties. (That makes me feel SOOOOO old)

4:23 am

Alex7777

from Llangollen

4:23 am

hydra

Some of my family came from Llangollen.

4:24 am

Atalante

its a huge department now, a really really good one

4:24 am

Alex7777

strange a lot of people from same area

4:25 am

FranMag

i'm watching lickety tv in another tab.

4:25 am

hydra

I went back to Bangor for a reunion four years ago. *I'd forgotten how beautiful it was. I'm still in touch with friends I made there. I'm godmother to the daughter of one of them who now reads the news on Radio 5Live. Yes, strange coincidene, Alex

4:26 am

Atalante

yes, its gorgeous, went there last year and almost cried. really wanted to be back there!

4:26 am

hydra

Did you go on to work in the marine area, Atalante?

4:26 am

Alex7777

whats bangor like for a uni? I'm at a stage now where I'm unsure of what to do in life

4:27 am

corpsvalue

hi y'all. ca i get some help on the ad8 (and ad9)?

4:27 am

hydra

It was fantastic when I was there, Alex. It's probably even better now. It's got the lot. Academia mingled with outdoor pursuits, being by the mountains and sea.

4:27 am

Atalante

its fab. small. lovely.

4:28 am

hydra

There are other colleges in Bangor too, so it's not too insular.

4:28 am

Atalante

I did my PhD on fishies. dead fishies at the Natural History Museum (after doing most of my 3rd year on fishing and fishies at Bangor). Then continued working on dead fishies

4:28 am

hydra

When did you move to NZ?

4:29 am

Alex7777

i want to stay local so its between Aberwystwyth, Bangor and Chester

4:29 am

Atalante

I didn't. I'm still in the UK. forgot I had NZ flag! But I lived in NZ on and off the years.

4:29 am

Atalante

bangor then, alex!

4:29 am

hydra

I don't know if you're male or female, but if you like football, go to Aber, Alex

4:30 am

Atalante

aber is best for teaching and arts I *think*

4:30 am

Alex7777

male, 20, football mad.

4:30 am

hydra

Oh, of course, you're in Canterbury UK, not NZ. I remember we emailed one another. Still havent been down to Whitstable area.

4:30 am

FranMag

i just saw mrp on lickety tv, she looks great.

4:31 am

Atalante

urf yes, Canterbury in both places!

4:31 am

hydra

The Aber football and rugby teams used to slaughter Bangor when I was there!

4:31 am

Alex7777

I'm interested more in natural studies, I want to do something involving nature, like conservation

4:31 am

Atalante

bangor's good at hockey, but thats about it, I think

4:32 am

Alex7777

I've lived my entire life on a farm, close to the middle of no where.

4:32 am

hydra

My first boyfriend played hockey for Wales. I met him at bangor. *Memories*

4:32 am

Atalante

Bangor has a big agriculture / forestry dept

4:32 am

hydra

Chester might be a bit citified for you. Bangor sounds the right place. Easy to escape into Nature.

4:33 am

Alex7777

thanks

4:33 am

Alex7777

I'll take a better look at their courses on offer

4:34 am

Alex7777

what do you do for a living Hydra?

4:36 am

hydra

Writer and book editor, Alex. Went into advertising as a copywriter, then was a local newspaper journalist, then rock music journo, then editor of a fiction magazine for IPC Mags

4:36 am

hydra

I don't think you'd regret it, Alex. You'd better like walking up and down steep hills though - hadn't he, Atalante?

4:37 am

Alex7777

I run up steep hills, having lived on a sheep farm

4:38 am

hydra

Calves like cast iron, then!

4:38 am

Alex7777

wish I had done English at A level, writing is nt something that appeals to me now, but didnt then.

4:38 am

hydra

You don't need training to write. You either have the talent or you don't.

4:39 am

Alex7777

thats very true

4:40 am

Alex7777

working in a rock music journo, must have been an enjoyable job

4:40 am

hydra

You can always polish up your grammar. That's one of the things I do for people when I critique their manuscript.

4:41 am

hydra

Music journo was best job in the world. The people I met! Don't start me. It was in the '70s and '80s. From Yes and Marc Bolan, to The Police.

4:41 am

Atalante

oh yes. there's a big hill between the student union and the halls!

4:41 am

Alex7777

most people need a whole lot of polishing up their grammar

4:42 am

hydra

Even me on occasions, Alex

4:42 am

Atalante

you met Marc Bolan??? O.O

4:42 am

hydra

You're right, Atalante. I got drunk, fell on that hill and sprained my ankle and it's never been the same since.

4:43 am

Atalante

I think everyone in Bangor does that once or twice! Especially when its icy

4:43 am

hydra

It was summer!!! Dark, though. I think I was running away from the hockey playing BF after a row.

4:44 am

hydra

I had LUNCH with Marc, Atalante. He was magical. We talked about song lyrics. But his wife was there keeping a beady eye on proceedings.

4:44 am

pinkhatlil

does anyone have the in7/36?

4:44 am

Atalante

wow. WOW

4:45 am

hydra

Think I'd better start writing my memoirs. They'd take up several volumes (LOL)

4:45 am

Atalante

I'm just staring a pic based on some of his lyrics

4:45 am

Alex7777

do you think it would be a mistake to not go to University? and just try to find a job and hope destiny will take its course?

4:46 am

Atalante

I think Uni teaches you more than the subject you're learning. It makes you grow up and become independent

4:47 am

hydra

I do think it would be a mistake not to go, if you can afford to carry that debt. If you don't want to be saddled with it, then try your luck at finding a job. Qualifications always help, though. I didn't get a very good degree as I didn't work hard, but it still helped me get jobs.

4:47 am

hydra

Wise words, Atalante

I agree

very

5:16 am

shdybr8

in fact, now i see phantom!

43 As! ...that's too many for one grid...

JBsAnno

shdy, you're up even earlier than me...

5:18 am

Hello JBs i was ready to ask what that meant!

5:18 am

garyandjulie

as

5:18 am

shdybr8

only been up since 3, JB, (lol, news just said "across the pond")

5:19 am

JBsAnno

I've been getting up earlier to play instead of staying up later, seems to be working except that I don't hardly finish grids anymore

5:19 am

pinkhatlil

Morning G&J!

5:20 am

JBsAnno

Yikes, sherb, 43 As, really?

5:20 am

shdybr8

i like to get up about 4:30, can finish grid and sudoku before work, so can actually work at work!

5:20 am

JBsAnno

Yeah, they blocked all game sites at work, so now I work at work too

5:20 am

shdybr8

oh, the horrors!

5:22 am

JBsAnno

Well, it helps to cut down on hacker attacks, so I can't complain. A friend (at another city hospital here) had over half of her email wiped out due to a network attack

5:23 am

shdybr8

ok, JB, you have lots of cats - mine has this new thing....scabs on face (all between nose and eyes) and also on ears. What the heck is that?

5:23 am

JBsAnno

nasty!

5:23 am

shdybr8

true !

5:23 am

JBsAnno

No, shdy, just kidding - do you have other cats? if so, maybe thay are fighting/

5:23 am

Atalante

mites!

5:24 am

JBsAnno

*?*

5:24 am

shdybr8

no, but she just returned to being an outside cat recently, this started shortly after

5:24 am

JBsAnno

Ah, yes, Dr. Atalante, I concur!

5:25 am

Atalante

mites would certainly be my first guess, anyway

5:25 am

JBsAnno

Mine don't go outside, shdy, so they don't have infestations of tiny bugs like fleas and mites

5:25 am

shdybr8

i put in a dog door for the other critters, therefore Fang also has freedom, but now she looks like He^&

5:25 am

pinkhatlil

i fancy a virtual holiday im going to choose another flag brb!

5:25 am

shdybr8

st tropez, pink?

5:26 am

kathw

fleas love the nose/mouth area, so could be

5:26 am

JBsAnno

shdy, you typed the words right off my chatlog!

5:27 am

shdybr8

lol, jb!

5:27 am

JBsAnno

shdy, to be sure, check with your vet. Mites can be overcome, but it's messy with oil in their ears. I've never needed to use flea collars on my kitties either

5:28 am

pinkhatlil

Bahamas Jbs im relaxing on the beach playing babble...wireless internet

5:28 am

JBsAnno

Plenty of sunscreen, pink - you might lose track of time under the broiling tropical sun!

5:29 am

shdybr8

i can see the vet telling me to do something stupid (when Nico was about 6 months he had an abcess between his toes, vet said, with a straight face, to hold his foot in hot saltwater for 5 minutes, 3 times a day) Nico, at the time, was a 40+ pound puppy

5:30 am

Atalante

nah, he'll just give you frontline incase of fleas, and a mite treatment. As JB said, mite treatment ain't much fun, but it works.

5:30 am

JBsAnno

See, quality pet time! Did you get wet? <chuckle>

5:31 am

shdybr8

didn't even try, just laughed and took the antibiotic pills

5:31 am

Atalante

lol very snesible

5:31 am

shdybr8

took them home, that is! lol

5:32 am

shdybr8

so now i can see him telling me to rub something on the cat's face...whatever!

5:32 am

JBsAnno

shdy, we live in an old suburb of Philadelphia (very charming old houses and main street) and there is a cat vet in a tiny little cottage that we go to. They treat only cats, and (get this) there are FOUR vets!

5:32 am

pinkhatlil

bbl i ned a break!!

5:33 am

JBsAnno

Actually, you rub the oil into the ears.

How BIG is this cat, anyway?

5:33 am

JBsAnno

C ya, pink!

5:33 am

shdybr8

right, jb, 3 to hold them and one to "treat" them!

5:33 am

JBsAnno

LOL, shdy!

5:33 am

pinkhatlil

*need* i may return actually knowing how to type properly!

5:33 am

Atalante

1 treating, 1 holding the front end, 1 holding the back end, 1 standing by with sedative in case

5:34 am

JBsAnno

Coffee, pink, copious amounts of coffee

5:35 am

shdybr8

somewhere out there in cyberspace is "how to give a cat/dog a pill" Cat version is several pages and funny, dog version = wrap it in bacon

5:35 am

JBsAnno

LOL Atl! Actually, our vet usually has an assistant in the exam room to help hold

5:36 am

Atalante

how to give a cat a pill. don't. unless prepared for the consequences ....

5:36 am

JBsAnno

I've seen that, shdy. Actually, I give Scrappy a couple of pills a day (he's becoming a categenarian, equivalent to human 70's-80's), and he tolerates it pretty well.
The scars have pretty much healed...

5:36 am

shdybr8

exactly, ata, lmao

5:37 am

shdybr8

Fang got her name for a reason!

5:39 am

Atalante

my old cat put my mum in hospital once while we were giving him a tablet. he shredded her wrist flailing around with claws and teeth!

5:39 am

shdybr8

while not fun, ata, that's not surprising!

5:39 am

JBsAnno

Yikes, Ata! <wincing in sympathy>

5:40 am

shdybr8

my 3 large dogs are manageable, the cat does whatever the cat wants to do, whenever she wants to do it!

5:41 am

Atalante

she looked like she'd tried to commit suicide for a god few weeks after!

5:41 am

JBsAnno

Well, I'm up to 53 words, and just greyed out my first box (top i)

5:41 am

shdybr8

**jealous** only found one of the top i's (no clues, too early)

5:42 am

JBsAnno

present and past te5, shdy!

5:42 am

shdybr8

i said no clues, jb!!!! lol, ty

5:43 am

JBsAnno

oh, I thought you meant that there weren't clues because of few finishers!

5:44 am

shdybr8

no, just didn't want to go there yet! but already had the present/past

5:44 am

Atalante

well then your I should be grey :)

5:45 am

I keep wanting to enter "mank" which keeps making me think of the Deep Thought by Jack Handy: "Maybe in order to understand mankind we have to look at that word itself. MANKIND. Basically, it's made up of two separate words "mank" and "ind." What do these words me4/5? It's a mystery and that's why so is mankind."

Pfft. Crazy Asians. They'll eat or drink anything.

1:36 pm

I agree, ata LOL

1:37 pm

Atalante

just give me tea

1:37 pm

Judi

There's a place in town that serves it. I don't think it's very popular. My husband was repulsed by it as well.

1:37 pm

Atalante

I would try it. Once.

1:38 pm

Judi

Finaly found the ta5/10 in the corner. One black box. zzzzzzzzzz

1:38 pm

Atalante

but I cannot see why tapioca balls would enhance the flavour of tea!

1:40 pm

Judi

I don't think the tapioca is for flavour. I think it's just to create the illusion of bubbles. Is it tea or is it pudding? Blech. What's next? Cous-cous tea?

1:40 pm

Atalante

well just get a straw and blow bubbles into the tea! much easier :P

1:41 pm

Uneaixoise

i think it's really tea . . . and the tapioca supposedly adds texture . . .

1:41 pm

Uneaixoise

eeeewwwww

1:41 pm

wasgij5

o

1:41 pm

Part of the experience is an extra wide straw to drink it with, so one is sure to get the whole textural experience.

And just what the heck is tapioca anyway? Is it a pasta? A grain? A bean?

1:46 pm

Uneaixoise

white gummy tasteless stuff

1:46 pm

mymuseisme

actually usually used as a thickening agent I thought

1:46 pm

greenbayladi

tapioca is a pudding

1:47 pm

greenbayladi

it comes in a box of in little cups like jello

1:47 pm

Atalante

its made from cassava

1:48 pm

Judi

Ah! Ata - finally a straight answer. So, it is from the cassava root then. Another reason not to eat it.

1:48 pm

Atalante

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapioca

1:48 pm

Judi

Not exactly fear factor food. More like blah factor food.

1:49 pm

mymuseisme

"Purchased tapioca are small white spheres about 2mm in diameter (larger also available) that are made from reconstituted processed root. Now that sounds even more disgusting

1:50 pm

Judi

Yeah. And who's the genius that came up with that process. Sounds like a lab accident - someone left the bunson burner on too long.

1:50 pm

majmom

i love tapioca pudding with a bit of cream but in tea-not a chance lol

1:50 pm

Judi

Eureka! Starch pellets! Let's make manky pudding with it!

1:51 pm

featherbee

*amused at the chat*

1:51 pm

kellyk

I think bubble tea (tea with tapioca balls) is really good. The balls have been cooked in sugar syrup and turn brownish-black. They taste and have the texture of gummy bears.

1:52 pm

mymuseisme

Wiki says tapioca in Britain refers to the pudding thickened with arrowroot, while Asia uses sap of the Sago palm -- interesting.

1:52 pm

featherbee

yay, grayed out a box

1:53 pm

Judi

Indigestable!

1:53 pm

mymuseisme

apparently there are 2 different cassavas, one quite harmful to humans

1:54 pm

mymuseisme

lol Judi they even use it in Boba Milk Tea

1:55 pm

Judi

Yes, I'm just going to run out and have some bubble tea and smoke my squid ink cigarettes...

1:55 pm

mymuseisme

well I certainly learned something new today!

1:55 pm

Judi

Don't want to know what Boba Milk is.

1:56 pm

kellyk

Boba is another name for the tapioca balls. Milk refers to the tea - milk tea - meaning tea with milk or cream.

1:56 pm

ursh

Hello - was reading chat - we referred to tapioca pudding as "frogs eggs" as kids - still cant eat the stuff

1:56 pm

mymuseisme

there's a picture of bubble tea with " black tapioca pearls" as they are being called

1:57 pm

majmom

da 5/12 any clues?

1:57 pm

Judi

Kelly, you seem to be the only one that likes it.

1:58 pm

ursh

there is not a da5/12 majmom

1:58 pm

kellyk

Well, it can be unusual. Personally, I prefer vanilla ginger green with boba. In fact, I had some yesterday.

1:58 pm

majmom

sorry da 5/14 1st one

1:59 pm

ursh

majmom "the guy"

1:59 pm

kellyk

And I've even made it at home myself, just to see if I could. One can buy the tapioca pearls in a market with a good Asian food selection, and find the recipe online. It was a lot of work, and probably not worth the effort.

Atalante

LMAO yes!

3:50 pm

FranMag

3:51 pm

Haz1558

Sewing on name tapes would be a considerable trouble.

3:51 pm

Atalante

the Dress weighed 20 stone, by the way

3:52 pm

Haz1558

That's why the bride looked as one felled by a tree.

3:52 pm

StephieC

I just started - who are you talking about??

3:52 pm

FranMag

it cracks me up, they waited a couple weeks to name the baby to see what name she would look like and that's what they came up with.

3:52 pm

FranMag

how much is a stone?

3:53 pm

Haz1558

14 pounds.

3:53 pm

FranMag

how many pounds or kilos?

3:53 pm

Atalante

16lb I think

3:53 pm

FMitch

Well the 50,000+ crystals sewn onto it would be some weight.
1 stone = 14 pounds

3:53 pm

mymuseisme

Fran, LastFM tells me "no such group",,,,

3:54 pm

FMitch

She had to wear trainers rather than delicate shoes just so she could attempt to walk.

3:54 pm

A good dose of Bailey's will soon have her right, Fran.

4:01 pm

Atalante

4:01 pm

Haz1558

The travelling families here will have watched it in awe. They'll have taken notes, those that can write, and they'll do their best to emulate.

4:01 pm

bunnyvicious

Definately, but I'll see if they make it in the bridesmaid pink they are wearing, two great combos in one.

4:01 pm

FMitch

Well wasn't that just something!!!

4:01 pm

FranMag

Jordan's dress looks like it gave a little, as opposed to the ruffles of steel

FranMag

LOL

5:08 pm

FranMag

you know jac, i've never actually had a bubble tea, but the ones in your icon look really tasty.

5:09 pm

Jacula

Fran - I'd never even heard of it until I looked it up for the icon. Tapioca tea sounded yuk! They do look quite nice, though.

5:09 pm

FranMag

the tapioca is just the pearls at the bottom. the rest of it is basically a smoothie.

5:10 pm

Jacula

Yes, but, apparently you suck the pearls up with the rest through a straw.

5:10 pm

FranMag

they don't really have their own flavor, it's more of a textural thing.

5:10 pm

Jacula

BRB.

5:11 pm

Jellen

The texture would get to me, I think.

5:11 pm

FranMag

that's why i haven't had one, i've had the tapioca in other Filipino desserts and it's not something i want in my drink.

5:12 pm

FranMag

like jac said, they are pretty though.

5:12 pm

Jacula

I'll have to find a recipe and make one. Not sure if we can get black tapioca here, though. Having said that, I'm not keen on the texture of smoothies anyway.

5:12 pm

Jellen

I just have a vague recollection of tapioca, but it's in my do-not-request list.

5:13 pm

FranMag

lol

5:13 pm

FranMag

they also come clear jac, but the black ones make a better presentation i guess.

5:13 pm

FranMag

i'm sure you could find them in an Asian food market

5:14 pm

Jacula

I'm one of the few people who actually LIKE rice, tapioca and semolina puddings... but not in my drinks.

5:14 pm

FranMag

me too jac, i love tapioca and rice pudding.

5:14 pm

Jellen

I like rice pudding.

5:15 pm

Jellen

Maybe I give tapioca a try again someday.

Hi, Ata. Did you find the dress?

5:21 pm

FranMag

5:21 pm

Jacula

Is it to be the Babble dress? LOL

5:22 pm

FranMag

that gives me an idea for a theme, brb

5:22 pm

Haz1558

It has to be talked about in hushed, reverential tones. Don't let impressionable daughters know about it.

5:24 pm

Jacula

I called my daughter and her b/f in to see it when it was on TV earlier, Haz. We were all in stitches.

5:24 pm

Atalante

Poor little things - we were watching a programme about evacuees last night.

5:31 pm

Jacula

Neither of my sets of grandparents sent their children away in the War. My Dad was supposed to go but my Grandma changed her mind and rushed and rescued him at the last moment.

5:32 pm

Haz1558

This was a local programme about children evacuated from Belfast - in most cases they settled down really well, and loved the country. I know it wasn't always the case, though.

5:32 pm

Jacula

No, not always.

5:35 pm

Jellen

6:17 pm

JBsAnno

oh, that's right, Jac, <soft chuckle> I'll behave, mostly!

6:17 pm

Jacula

You don't realise how much you move and/or touch your nose until it hurts.:(

6:18 pm

Atalante

owie, Jac!

6:19 pm

JBsAnno

Jac, reminds me of the joke:
"Doc, it hurts when I do this."

6:20 pm

JBsAnno

Doc: "Don't do that."

6:20 pm

Jacula

Ata - the needle in the tip of my nose to numb it hurt more - hurt like hell, in fact. Surgeon said it would. Said the tip of the nose if one of the most sensitive areas of the body.

Surgeon said, as soon as he cut into it that he was positive it was a benign naevus. Result will be through in 3 weeks. I'd have been more worried if he'd said nothing. I'm sure it's okay.

The bride was from a family of Irish travellers. They like their ceremonies to be as over the top as possible, so no expense spared, no taste permitted.

Irish Travellers (sometimes known as Tinkers) are a nomadic or itinerant people of Irish origin living in Ireland, Great Britain and the United States. It is estimated 25,000 Travellers live in Ireland, 15,000 in Great Britain and 7,000 in the United States [1].

They refer to themselves as The Pavees. Many non-Pavee people (or "Buffers") still use the word Knackers, or Tinkers [2] (derogatory, in this sense), from the Irish tincÃ©irÃ, sg. tincÃ©ir or "tinsmith."

nor me, but I saw the first few seconds and saw The Dress and was transfixed

8:03 pm

Hi Liz. Have you seen THAT DRESS yet? (It was on ITV earlier) If not, check out my profile.

8:04 pm

herinfernallady

Jac How young are these brides on this show?

8:04 pm

Atalante

they were between 15 and 18

8:05 pm

Jacula

Youngest was an Asian girl who was engaged at 10 and married at 16. 16 is the youngest age anyone can be wed here with parental consent.

8:05 pm

herinfernallady

That im sorry is wrong wrong and more wrong

8:05 pm

Jacula

Tell us about it, herin. LOL

8:05 pm

Atalante

sorry, couldnt remember if she was 15 or 16

8:06 pm

Can i just hide under the couch. Thats scary.

8:06 pm

Atalante

what shall we bet that most won't be married in 2 years?

8:07 pm

herinfernallady

I keep think Brittany Spears is the poster child for Chav

8:07 pm

Jacula

The Pakistani girl's parents didn't see it as wrong, Herin. In their culture, girls are not allowed to have boyfriends. They realise that by the time a girl reaches her teens she wants such things and so they find her a suitable husband. Quite often, they are right with their choice, but not always, and she does have the option to say 'no', in enlightened families anyay.

8:08 pm

lovejoy

can anyone help me out with any ad's? i cant even get one of them...

8:08 pm

Atalante

and actually, she seems the most well adjusted of the lot of them

8:09 pm

Jacula

They find her a husband to be and then marry them off, if they seem to get on after several meetings. They marry in Pakistan at about 14 and then officially marry and life together in UK 2 years' after that.

8:11 pm

herinfernallady

Thats all well and good but my problem with that is the honour killings and acid burning the female that refuses to marry 'the chosen' partner

I have a Hindu friend who this didn't work out for... she said 'No' to every man presented until she was 25 and then her parents got desperate. (She had UK b'fs they had no idea about). However, she eventually agreed to about the 10th guy offered up and it turned out a disaster. Not only did he cheat on her and their 2 children but he also plotted to murder her. She is now, after many truly horrible court battles against him and his horrible family(and I do know this is true because I've been a character witness for her) finally divorced and has custody of her children so he can't spirit them away to India. her family, much humbled by this experience, look after her and look out for her far better now.

Good for her for fighting back. In a way we play match maker to our friends but my peeve is that woman are seen as property not people

8:16 pm

It's just as well, as my friend said, that she is not so traditional as her Mum (who is ony 8 years' older than me) that she carries the dagger at her waist. If she was...

Well, I can't get into my room to set it up yet. They're doing construction (new windows) and not finished yet....yikes! We start in a week and a half.

8:51 pm

Jacula

artlady - what ages do you teach? Mind you, that probably doesn't really matter.

8:51 pm

Jacula

4 words left now... tees.

8:51 pm

artlady

a television show is ai***...like the one with the dress!

8:52 pm

doxy1lover

thanks artlady

8:52 pm

artlady

I teach 2nd through 5th grade. Many of the teachers use Babble with their classes, for vocabulary.

8:52 pm

artlady

Go Jac!

8:53 pm

lbdawger

and that's more than likely where a lot of the trolls come from

8:53 pm

Madi95

my language arts teacher used babble for us 5th graders.

8:53 pm

Jacula

If I do ever decide to go back into the 'proper paid' work world from writing, then I'd go into artr or English therapy. It's heartbreaking, in7/32 ing and fascinating.

8:53 pm

artlady

Yes. There was a big problem last year with them. I talked to the teachers about it and most of the students learned better Babble behavior.

8:54 pm

artlady

Hmmm, madi?

8:54 pm

Madi95

sorry!

8:54 pm

artlady

Good one, Jac!

8:54 pm

artlady

Sorry??

8:55 pm

Madi95

i am still in shackles in the babble dungeon

8:55 pm

artlady

I heard there's an escape tunnel in the corner. Just move the second brick over.

8:55 pm

Jacula

Had the term'criminal profiler' like 'Cracker' (UK TV series) been defined when I was at the start of wondering what to do with my life.... I'd have gone for that. I'm not saying the kids in the clinic wwere criminals, btw. I'm going off on another track now re my interests.

8:55 pm
