2:18 am

jillibus

weird things are happening -- got disconnected again ;(

2:19 am

nDanLia

just orange & black pekoe blend with a little sugar and milk - not cream, not 1/2 & 1/2, not 1% or 2%, just right [i was uppositing jellyfish-like chunks all am after drinking h20 & snoozing most of day]

2:19 am

ajv74

Can someone clue me the theme of long he's, please?

2:20 am

jillibus

nDan, that's how I like my tea

2:20 am

Just1Mar

huh?

2:20 am

jillibus

hi FM

2:21 am

FMitch

Hello jilli, all well with you apart from connection problems I trust :)

2:22 am

jillibus

oh yes, FM -- just been running around madly so a wee bit pooped

2:22 am

Kazzer99

ajv he8s are difficult to clue -both begin another word for chicken he* then vowel then word for one of five and then second swap the 2nd and third vowels - weird words

2:22 am

jillibus

I hate weird long words

2:23 am

FMitch

Well nothing like a shot of babble first or last thing to set the day right

2:23 am

Kazzer99

I like it first thing in the morning - gets the brain cells ticking for all the math at work

2:24 am

nDanLia

that would be a poultry statuette used for store window displays

2:24 am

Kazzer99

thats a really good clue

2:24 am

jillibus

babble and chat is my soothing soporific at this time of night

2:25 am

FMitch

I have Madames' banana and milk on standy by for when Madame is ready

2:25 am

jillibus

holy mackerel, nDan, that clue worked! Thanks!

2:26 am

jillibus

Merci mille fois, Ermintrude!

2:26 am

nDanLia

lol

2:27 am

FMitch

Darn it, I had forgotten that name. Haz must pay today!!

2:27 am

jillibus

LOL, FM!

2:27 am

Lorrie_in_SA

Yes, thanks Dan - that one really worked! :)

2:29 am

FMitch

Whats the grid like today?

2:30 am

jillibus

so far not too bad, FM, but all I'm doing is trying for NBT -- 2 tiles to go, but haven't had much time

2:30 am

Kazzer99

quite difficult in places - any clues for the ors please

2:31 am

jillibus

ha -- just got in7, so just one tile to go now

2:32 am

FMitch

hmm may enjoy the challenge/fun a little later then, chat for now and workish sort of stuff (flipping sensible head on again)

2:32 am

nDanLia

or + increacing to pains companion

2:32 am

jillibus

just found or5/14 -- or + pain minus last letter

2:33 am

Kazzer99

ty vm got im but monkeying about a bit

2:33 am

Kazzer99

jilli 6 and 7 follow from that

2:33 am

nDanLia

increasing even - 3 build

2:33 am

ajv74

Thank you for long he's! very strange words, indeed.

2:34 am

jillibus

2:35 am

nDanLia

2:35 am

nDanLia

scot. for odd work

2:36 am

jillibus

ty again, nDan

2:39 am

jillibus

my last BT is the E in the 4th column -- anyone have it?

2:40 am

ajv74

Jilli: One of a body of five elected magistrates exercising a supervisory power over the kings of Sparta.

2:40 am

FMitch

Thats just what I was going to say *giggle*

2:40 am

jillibus

gee, thanks, ajv :-/

3:22 am

KatieMcG

how is everyone?

3:22 am

Andree

my daughter and I saw a house today and arranged to lease it together, hope you all don't start hearing stories from me about the housemate from hell, she has 2 small children 4 and 2 whom i adore but only time will tell if i actually want to live with

3:23 am

Andree

we move in together in 3 weeks

3:23 am

Haz1558

If you start posting stories from the housemate from hell, we'll start a campaign to have Australia cut off from internet access. Just warning you now, Andree!

3:23 am

loredana

Good luck Andree enjoy as you know they dont stay young for long all the best

3:23 am

Andree

i don't blame you there haz!!

3:24 am

LoriP

What Haz said..... :D

3:24 am

lynxxx

Hope it works out Andree, I'm sure it will though

3:24 am

Karys

All good wishes for a happy home then Andree !

3:24 am

FMitch

Whatever happened to the HM for H?

3:24 am

Haz1558

Not that I'm not the most patient and tolerant chat reader, you understand.

3:24 am

KatieMcG

good luck Andree :-)

3:24 am

KatieMcG

Lol Haz, you usually say what everyone is thinking :-)

3:24 am

lynxxx

HM for H?

3:24 am

loredana

of course Haz understood perfectly

3:25 am

Haz1558

Yes.....

3:25 am

LoriP

And if it does turn ugly, make sure you post about it frequently, and in excruciating detail...... :-)

3:25 am

FMitch

housemate from hell, do keep up lynxxx :)

3:25 am

Andree

i have the biggest bedroom with my own bathroom and will have my own sitting room too so i can keep some semblance of sanity

3:25 am

Karys

I really don't know what you are talking about Haz !!!

3:25 am

Haz1558

That Karys. ALways acting the innocent.

3:26 am

KatieMcG

I think I do :-)

3:26 am

lynxxx

Sorry!

3:26 am

Karys

That sounds as if it should work perfectly Andree, plenty of room for escape.

3:26 am

Haz1558

As long as you have your own space, Andree, it should be okay. And try soundproofing as well.

3:26 am

ajv74

I have to go, but will be back for last 18 words

3:26 am

loredana

I know I do :-)

3:26 am

LoriP

See you in a bit avj.

3:27 am

Haz1558

Bye ajv.

3:27 am

loredana

later ajv

3:27 am

Karys

bye ajv

3:27 am

Andree

nice yard and a veggie garden and a really lovely swimming pool, the only downside is i have been dying to get a dog but strictly no pets

3:28 am

LoriP

I'm sure it'll work out fine Andree, and don't be intimidated by the pending i'net petition for removal if it doesn't....

3:28 am

Haz1558

It sounds lovely, Andree.

3:28 am

lynxxx

darn Andree, you were so looking forward to one!

3:28 am

Karys

Andree, do they have volunteer dog walkers at dog shelters near you ?

3:30 am

loredana

ta ra for now Granson is here see everyone tomorrow bye ..enjoy the grid !!

3:30 am

Andree

have no idea karys, but walking a dog i don't own is not something i would want to do

3:30 am

Haz1558

Bye loredana.

3:30 am

Andree

bye lore

3:31 am

LoriP

Enjoy lore, have a good one!

3:31 am

Karys

I see Andree, it's something I have been thinking about. It is not fair for us to have a dog when we plan to be out such a lot.

3:31 am

Karys

bye lore

3:31 am

Andree

its a lovely house so from the owners point of view one can see why the nicer places have a no pet policy, all we saw that would allow pets was revolting

3:32 am

Haz1558

It's a pity, Andree, but I suppose you have to compromise and see it their way.

3:33 am

Haz1558

Although we'd be willing to organise a campaign on your behalf.

3:33 am

Karys

We woke up to a brand new foal in the field this morning, it was such a lovely thing to see just as soon as we opened the curtains.

3:33 am

Haz1558

We could send them begging e-mails and pictures of cute dogs.

3:34 am

LoriP

Aww, that's nice Karys!

3:34 am

Haz1558

Foals are so pretty. You wouldn't want one in the house, though.

3:34 am

LoriP

Haz is very proactive today.

3:34 am

Karys

It was Lori, it's the 4th one this year so far.

3:34 am

Andree

its the only thing i compromised on, its not that easy to find a 5 bedroom house with 2 sitting rooms and 3 bathrooms and within our budget too

3:34 am

Haz1558

I know. I don't know what's happened to me. I feel like painting banners and marching somewhere.

3:35 am

Haz1558

It sounds great, Andree - plenty of room to hide a little dog..

3:36 am

Karys

That thought creates such vivid pictures Haz !

3:36 am

Andree

if i was a sneaky type i would just get a dog and hide it when inspection time comes, but i will wait for another time

3:38 am

Haz1558

If that man from Britain who pretended to have drowned from a canoe could hide himself in his own house for years, why not one little dog? Pity he's in prison, you could ask him for advice.

3:38 am

Andree

I did tell the agent I mind my sons dog when they are away and that was not negotiable, he said okay as long as it doesn't come inside, don't think ruffles wants to hear that!!!

3:39 am

Andree

anyhow if you hear i got a dog, you will know it is without permission!!!

3:39 am

Haz1558

We won't betray you, unless the housemate from hell stories start getting wearisome.

3:40 am

LoriP

Proactive and potential for blackmail, fearless.....

3:41 am

Haz1558

Just as well Tescos hasn't annoyed me lately.

3:42 am

pinkhatlil

Hello Haz, Lori, Andree, and Karys!!

3:42 am

Andree

you could sic spangles onto them if they do

3:42 am

Andree

hi pink

3:42 am

Haz1558

Good morning pink.

3:42 am

Karys

Hello there pink, how's little pink doing these days ?

3:43 am

LoriP

G'd morning pink!!! ***hugs***

3:43 am

Haz1558

Spangle isn't the sort of dog that Tescos deserve.

3:43 am

lynxxx

morning Pink

3:43 am

Lorrie_in_SA

Hi pink :)

3:44 am

LoriP

strchg is too a word!

3:44 am

lynxxx

an abbreviation for stretching the truth perhaps

3:44 am

Haz1558

Meaning?

3:45 am

pinkhatlil

lil pink is very well karys, she is very talkative now and can even ride a bike now

3:45 am

LoriP

Exactly lynx.

3:45 am

pinkhatlil

hello lynxxx and lorrie!!

3:45 am

Karys

Oh wow, pink, so grown up already !

3:47 am

pinkhatlil

she is 2 and a half and i feel as if im living with a woman lol the time really has flown b

3:47 am

Andree

my grandaughters name in grid for 2nd time this week gr5

3:48 am

pinkhatlil

*by*

3:48 am

pinkhatlil

i love that name

3:48 am

lynxxx

TY Andree

3:49 am

Haz1558

Is Gr5 one of the granddaughters who's going to be living with you, Andree?

3:49 am

Andree

another grandaughter is neve which is often in the grid

3:50 am

Haz1558

That's s impler way of spelling it than the Irish.

3:50 am

Karys

My friend has a grandaughter called Neve

3:50 am

Andree

no she is 12 and i have just had her to stay and help? me in the office for a couple of days, love her heaps but could not live with the" about to be a teeneger"

3:50 am

Haz1558

* a simpler - all my campaigning has left me without the ability to type.

3:50 am

Karys

I don't think her parents could spell the Irish word Haz !

3:51 am

KatieMcG

campaigning Haz?

3:51 am

Haz1558

No, it's a bit tricky.

3:52 am

lynxxx

how is it spelled?

3:52 am

Haz1558

Yes, I'll be campaigning for Andree to have a dog and to be thrown off the internet if she complains too much about her daughter. The usual things. Have you any campaign requests, Katie?

3:52 am

KatieMcG

& thanks for the gr clue I got 5 words from it

3:52 am

Haz1558

Niamh

3:52 am

Andree

Neve and Patrick are the ones going to be living with me, my daughter left her husband over a year ago, the rat was having an affair with a woman from work

3:53 am

Haz1558

Boooo to the rat.

3:53 am

KatieMcG

Neve is such a lovely name. Your daughter is far better without him!

3:53 am

LoriP

ooh, that's not good. Best that she lost him stat!

3:54 am

Andree

I would have gladly killed him haz

3:54 am

Andree

I would have gladly killed him haz

3:54 am

Haz1558

I'm glad you didn't, Andree. Although we'd have campaigned for your early release.

3:54 am

KatieMcG

How is she doing now Andree?

3:56 am

Andree

she is doing great, it was a terrible shock to her as she adored him, but she would not hear of giving him a second chance once she made up her mind she could never trust him again

3:57 am

pinkhatlil

good for her andree, he didn't deserve her love!!

3:57 am

KatieMcG

It must be very hard at the time but in the long run if you don't have trust you don't have anything. I'm glad shes moving on, happy wishes for her :-)

3:58 am

Haz1558

And booo to the woman with whom he had the affair.

3:59 am

Andree

and booo to anyone who would start anything with a married man

3:59 am

KatieMcG

quite right Haz, however it was he who broke the trust and has the responsibility. I never blamed the other woman I always blamed my partner for being stupid enough to throw away what we had

4:00 am

Haz1558

I know - it's just that sometimes it feels as though men are the only ones to be blamed when an affair is discovered. The woman involved is also wrong.

4:01 am

LoriP

***this grid sucks***

4:01 am

Haz1558

Should we start a campaign to get a new grid for today?

4:01 am

KatieMcG

Yep you are right it's all a matter of degree, but in the long run I work on the principle that I am so much better off than either of them now :-)

4:01 am

KatieMcG

I thought I was having a thick day, I'm glad the grid sucks rather than me

4:01 am

Haz1558

Wait, maybe that's a non-starter, others will have finished and got their fireworks and the rankings would be messed up.

4:02 am

LoriP

***didn't wanna' interrupt the flow of conversation, just had ta' get that off my chest***

4:02 am

KatieMcG

Lori, I'm glad you did :-)

4:02 am

Andree

she needed this year to get happy within herself, now she is actually looking forward to us moving in together, together we can afford a much nicer place

4:02 am

Haz1558

It's always comforting to know that others aren't melting the keyboard to get their words entered.

4:03 am

Haz1558

Onwards and upwards, Andree.

4:03 am

LoriP

It'll all work out Andree, I'm sure of it. ***and this grid still sucks*** :/

4:03 am

FMitch

a sucky grid and interesting coversation, oh and it's Friday yay!!

4:04 am

Karys

That's one of my sayings
Haz !

4:04 am

Andree

hi fmitch

4:04 am

KatieMcG

My sister in law gave me a CD to play when things were getting better. I played it about 6 months after the break up when I could see light at the end of the tunnel and it was such a lovely uplifting song.....will try and find it later

4:04 am

Haz1558

And a good, positive saying it is as well. Most of my sayings include the phrase 'The wise woman'

4:04 am

KatieMcG

I thought I could do the grid before I go to the Zoo, but it's not looking likely now

4:04 am

FMitch

Hello Andree

4:05 am

Haz1558

You're going to the zoo, Katie?

4:05 am

Karys

Well, I have 42 still to find and I have only one 8

4:05 am

FMitch

Zoo? a real Zoo or a euphamism (sp)?

4:05 am

Haz1558

There are 8s?

4:06 am

KatieMcG

I know Haz, Thursday in London discussing 15,000 and a power station, Friday Twycross Zoo talking about the entrance to it!

4:06 am

Karys

Well there is one at least !

4:06 am

KatieMcG

OMG there are 4 of them!!

4:06 am

LoriP

i didn't know Mrs Katie was coming to my house, or I'd have cleaned up, well, no, no I wouldn't have..... :-)

4:06 am

Andree

there are 4 and I have 2

4:06 am

Haz1558

So it's the zoo and work combined!

4:07 am

Karys

Went to Twycross a couple of months ago

4:07 am

FMitch

lol and hey Lori :)

4:07 am

LoriP

What's that zero in my 8 box mean then? :-)

4:07 am

Haz1558

You can get to dislike people when they find non-existent 8s.

4:07 am

LoriP

heh for Fm :-)

4:07 am

KatieMcG

I have to tell them we can't help them, but hoping I still get to go round the Zoo. I only live 9 miles from it but haven't been for years

4:08 am

FMitch

Oh Haz obsure train of thought .. I have a bone to pick with you!!

4:08 am

Haz1558

Don't give them the bad news until after you've had a VIP tour of the zoo.

4:08 am

Lorrie_in_SA

And I finish with a word which looks like it comes from SG1 (sh6)... Soooo, firworks!

4:08 am

Karys

I guess we must live about that distance away too !

4:08 am

Haz1558

Pick away, FMitch.

4:08 am

Andree

i love the zoo, with 7 grandchildren i get there fairly often these days

4:08 am

FMitch

Thanks to you (I think) jilli will now only call me Ermintrude!!

4:08 am

4:09 am

Andree

yay lorrie

4:09 am

Haz1558

4:09 am

KatieMcG

4:10 am

Andree

4:10 am

4:10 am

Andree

4:11 am

sprite

back at last. Hi all :)

4:12 am

lynxxx

Hi Sprite!

4:12 am

Haz1558

Ermintrude conjures up happy memories of the Magic Roundabout. It's a comforting name.

4:12 am

Andree

4:12 am

Karys

Hi Sprite

4:12 am

KatieMcG

Hi sprite

4:13 am

Karys

Oh years ago Katie, early 70's

4:13 am

Haz1558

I was amazed to discover that Eric Thompson basically made up the stories as he watched the puppets do their stuff - they bore little resemblance to the French versions.

4:13 am

KatieMcG

we moved there in 1976 :-)

4:14 am

Karys

Such wonderful humour !

4:14 am

Karys

I had gone by then Katie, here to Aldridge, in fact we moved here 32 years ago today !

4:14 am

Haz1558

I've not seen the new version - but I just don't see how the old one could be made better.

4:15 am

FMitch

I remember reading that somewhere Haz

4:15 am

Karys

I am always afraid to see 'new' versions of anything I enjoyed in case I am disappointed

4:15 am

KatieMcG

Some things should not be allowed to be remade as they were perfect the first time, MR is in this catagory

4:16 am

Haz1558

I know. I don't understand the need to tinker with what was excellent first time around.

4:17 am

KatieMcG

just got my first word for about half an hour!!

4:17 am

Haz1558

You'll never get it done before the zoo at this rate, Katie.

4:18 am

KatieMcG

I'm determined to not go to the list early. Need to get ready in 10 mins so won't even be half way by then

4:18 am

Haz1558

Not rubbing it in, or anything. I'm just blessed with plain speaking this morning.

4:18 am

FMitch

Just updated my icon to Friday silliness

4:19 am

LoriP

Still doing the first sweep, and only 6 tiles greyed. Have I mentioned this grid sucks?

4:19 am

Haz1558

Ah, there's dear Ermintrude. She always makes me smile.

Congratulations nDan.

wtg nDan

4:20 am

Haz1558

Sometimes the first sweep is conducted in an air of frenzy. Not today.

4:20 am

KatieMcG

i've got 6 tiles greyed but 5 of them were to begin with and the other is the i in the bottom corner!

4:20 am

Karys

Well done Dan !

Congrats nDan

4:20 am

4:21 am

LoriP

lol Mrs Katie, counting those, I have 10 greyed! :p

4:21 am

FMitch

There are a myriad Government departments that could use your talents Haz

4:21 am

nDanLia

my contribution from earlier: he 8 60: a poultry statue used for store window displays; for 2nd, switch 2nd 2nd & 3rd alphabetical vowels

4:21 am

Haz1558

Thank you, Andree.

4:22 am

nDanLia

thanks all; have about 5 mins before need to wake kiddos up for the july 4th 5k if any clues wanted

4:22 am

Andree

fmitch , haz might start campaigning against them soon, she needs a project today as she is in the mood

4:23 am

KatieMcG

I've updated my icon for a clue, forgot it was Friday!! As you can see I've hit avoidance

4:23 am

sprite

*votes for Haz as president*

4:23 am

lynxxx

Congrats nDan & TY

4:23 am

Andree

mind you i would join a campaign against most government departments

4:23 am

Haz1558

Are we talking a campaign against all government departments everywhere? Because I'll need to order up extra big sheets and lots of paint.

4:24 am

Haz1558

And I'll need to remember to order the non-drip paint.

4:24 am

KatieMcG

Could you leave my Government Agency out of it please, I have enough problems with campaigners as it is

4:24 am

Andree

everywhere is a good start

4:24 am

sprite

the red paint can be drippy though

4:24 am

FMitch

Well I was thinking specifically of the introduction of plain speak - but if you are in the mood just take on the whole establishment!

4:25 am

Haz1558

The other thing is to plan out what I'm going to say so that I don't start off with a huge DOWN WITH and end up trailing off with government departments.

4:25 am

sprite

cleared indian butter(s) alert

4:25 am

LoriP

Down with pants!

4:25 am

KatieMcG

Thanks sprite I missed those

4:25 am

Haz1558

So, what IS your government agency, Katie? We need to know so as to leave it alone.

4:26 am

FMitch

pants or trousers? ... or both?

4:26 am

sprite

yvw, I had missed them as well, though I might not be the only one ;)

4:26 am

Haz1558

Down with pants? Down with paints? Done with paints?

4:26 am

LoriP

Both of course. I'm bilingual.

4:26 am

KatieMcG

It's called English Partnerships.

4:27 am

Haz1558

English Partnerships. You see, that's the sort of thing I mean. What does it mean?

4:27 am

FMitch

Anyone seen my quango, I know it's here somehwere under the ountains of paperwork.

4:27 am

Haz1558

The Environmental health people have an office near here. They call themselves 'Northern Group Systems'

4:27 am

nDanLia

plainspeak in govt agencies? what will we do with the millions put out of work?

4:27 am

KatieMcG

Lol Haz, it's deliberate. We are responsible for sustainable communites and delivering regeneration and housing growth.

4:28 am

Haz1558

You can guarantee that if you have a rat problem, the first thing that comes to your mind is not 'Must look up Northern Group systems' in the phone book.

4:28 am

Haz1558

Katie's gone into government speak. Can we stage a rescue?

4:28 am

FMitch

and fast

4:28 am

Haz1558

You mean you build houses?

4:28 am

KatieMcG

Subject to Parlimentary consent we will become the Homes & Communities Agency in December.

4:29 am

nDanLia

it sounds normal except for the delivering regeneration - that's sci fi

4:29 am

Haz1558

So you build and maintain houses.

4:29 am

FMitch

No point asking a straight question Haz

4:29 am

KatieMcG

Seriously I spend my day in government speak. Yesterdays joy was renewable energy when we were talking about ESCROs and MUSCOs :-)

4:29 am

Haz1558

And do you have a fancy logo?

4:29 am

sprite

my body delivers regeneration too. It is not that weird.

4:30 am

nDanLia

but not in housing

4:30 am

LoriP

ooch is too a word! A Scottish ouch. yeesh this grid is annoyitating me.

4:30 am

KatieMcG

Mainly build Haz, so when Gordon Brown talks about the 3,000,000 houses we need, we are responsible for facilitating that

4:30 am

Haz1558

Och is a great word, it can be said with venom.

4:30 am

sprite

I could have sworn phampyres sleep in a cophen.

4:30 am

FMitch

Katie could I request then that you stop building round here PLEASE

4:31 am

LoriP

I'm the och less monster I guess.

4:31 am

Haz1558

You are responsible for doing that. Facilitating is another of these words that has sprung up and is used whenever possible.

4:31 am

KatieMcG

Our logo is a bit boring at the moment, waiting with baited breath to see the new one. We are also banned from calling the new agency HACA, for obvious comedy reasons and have to call it HCA

4:31 am

FMitch

annoyitating sounds like a 'Bushism'

4:31 am

nDanLia

ah well, have a good day & good luck in the effort; Happy 4th to any early risers

4:31 am

KatieMcG

Where is here FM?

4:32 am

4:32 am

Lori, you are multilingual. I am sure you write about 5 languages I don't facilitate myself.

4:33 am

KatieMcG

4:33 am

The Valerie thing was news to me. I knew she had been engaged to Pete Murray for a long time. She must have had a thing for all men Peter.

Peter Andre may be just a wee bit too young for her.

sorry, phone got in the way there. Lori - ask Haz re The Cow :))

5:20 am

Haz1558

I'm glad there was a re in between Haz and the cow.

5:20 am

FMitch

lol

5:21 am

LoriP

Haz, what's with the cow?

5:21 am

sprite

lol

5:21 am

Haz1558

Well, Lori, Fmitch announced one evening that the F in her name was not actually her first name. That left the door open for us to guess what the first name really was. Both Atalante and I decided that Ermintrude might be a contender.

5:21 am

Haz1558

From then on, she has been christened Ermintrude by Jillibus.

5:21 am

sprite

Fermintrude?

5:21 am

Haz1558

Ermintrude being the name of the cow in a beloved series 'The Magic Roundabout'

5:22 am

FMitch

*giggle @ sprite*

5:22 am

Haz1558

Ermintrude. it has a ring.

5:22 am

sprite

sure does

5:22 am

LoriP

lolol, I like it.

5:23 am

Haz1558

She has never told us what it really is. So guess away.

5:24 am

sprite

It is a name with possibilities. I think I go with your choice.

5:24 am

sprite

FMitch, it is even a command, did you see? Erm.... intrude!

5:24 am

Haz1558

Can we get a starting letter, FMitch, just in case some babblers come up with silly ideas. We like to stay sensible.

5:25 am

FMitch

I am growing into it too (the name that is).
A is the letter so perhaps Aloyisius Merganser could be my nom de plume?

5:25 am

chiley

Babblers and silly ideas?? Please.

5:26 am

Haz1558

I know, chiley. Hard to imagine, but it does sometimes happen.

5:26 am

LoriP

yah FM, give us a letter. W'll behave.

5:27 am

Haz1558

We try our best to keep things on a 'within bounds of possibility' level.

5:27 am

5:35 am

LoriP

Aidan Abet?

5:35 am

sprite

lol, I like that one

5:36 am

Haz1558

Yes, Aidan Abet sounds suitably conspiratorial.

5:36 am

Haz1558

Because, you wouldn't believe it, but FMitch does sometimes hatch little schemes and plans.

5:37 am

sprite

she does??

5:37 am

Haz1558

Oh yes. Don't forget the PB and its furnishings.

5:37 am

Haz1558

And the Old Clueriosity Shop.

5:39 am

sprite

5:39 am

FMitch

I step away from the log for a mo and lose the thread totally

5:39 am

Haz1558

We're still deciding on what your name is. Lori reckons AidanAbet.

5:40 am

FMitch

Ah the good old days of the visual PB, I had such fun putting that together with the help of so many.

Sighs, and I had such high hopes for Lori

6:18 am

carleekat

6:21 am

littlebit

6:22 am

FMitch

OF course she is Andree - she is the Cheif of Babble Police after all

6:22 am

Haz1558

The second one is the three letter bird, a different vowel, then a female monarch, but using only one of the usual vowels.

6:22 am

carleekat

thanks haz

6:23 am

Haz1558

We don't like to say that using resources is cheating. It's just being resourceful!

8:50 am

kje

TY herin - I was missing the goose

8:50 am

herinfernallady

I would much prefer to bug a friend and get stuff downloaded off the net for the cost of dvd rs

8:51 am

KatieMcG

I have got the full package but that is because we want the sports and that is so expensive that you might as well have the rest as well

8:52 am

lilliann

we got a cheapdeal but we only wanted the discovery channels as we like the wildlife programmes and we got the entertainment package

8:52 am

herinfernallady

I want 11 channels that cost but there is 11 channels that are free and don't want

8:52 am

kje

I still see the shows i want to off cable when they come out on DVD via netflix

8:53 am

KatieMcG

I found that say I wanted 8 channels there was one in every package. I use to have freeview which was great but I do like having the lot. it would be the first thing to go if we needed to cut back financially though

8:53 am

lilliann

we didn't want the childrens channel as i don't want my daughter sitting in front of it allday

8:54 am

72 Temple Owl

hey kje, doren, annie , haz - if you're still there - see you later! *poof*

8:54 am

Dorens

i do wish you could pick the channels you want and do away with the rest.. which is the vast majority

8:54 am

herinfernallady

We don't like sport in this house and there is about 3 sport channels and 5 news channels and a couple of weather channels its not worth it. we dont even have a land line

8:54 am

kje

8:54 am

8:56 am

kje

how fun

8:56 am

lilliann

i would have loved to have done it with her

8:57 am

lilliann

i use to love to ride when i was younger

8:57 am

herinfernallady

Lili that is too cute. I remember that age and being horse mad

8:57 am

KatieMcG

could I have a clue for the ep5 word please

8:58 am

Haz1558

8:58 am

lilliann

8:58 am

Dorens

well done there haz

8:58 am

kje

TY haz

OK - be back after 12 more limes...

8:59 am

lilliann

ty haz

9:00 am

Sandieangel

hmmm - I've got the first he8 but am stuck on the second. Can anyone help plz?

9:00 am

KatieMcG

Love your Friday clue Haz

9:00 am

Dorens

sorry sandie i don't even have that one

9:00 am

Haz1558

Sandy, it's structured in much the same way as the first. The bird, a different vowel, then a female monarch using just one of the usual vowels

9:01 am

Sandieangel

ah - got it now!

9:01 am

lilliann

hi sandie

9:01 am

Haz1558

They're the sort of thing that you hope NOT to encounter, Katie!

9:03 am

Sandieangel

Hi Lilliann.

9:03 am

Dorens

and a hush descends over the chog as we all search for the he8?

9:04 am

Haz1558

Do you want them both clued?

9:04 am

Dorens

was going to be stoic about it and not ask, but since you offer... sure, haz, I'd love them

9:05 am

Haz1558

Okay. The first he8/60 - three letters of a female bird, add a vowel, then one of five children born together.

9:05 am

Dorens

got that thanks

9:06 am

Haz1558

The second one is structured in much the same way. This time, follow the bird with a different vowel, and finish off with the female monarch minus a vowel.

9:06 am

Dorens

got thattoo... thanks haz, you're a whiz

9:06 am

herinfernallady

9:12 am

Haz1558

Hello Uniquity - have you been in silent observation mode?

9:12 am

nancethefan

9:12 am

Haz1558

We'll have to put you into babble summer school, nance.

9:12 am

Dorens

9:13 am

bethn

Hi

9:13 am

Haz1558

Dorens

Hi bethn, happy 4th July to you

Uniquity

My mother is a bit obstinant from time to time..

9:14 am

Haz1558

Never let on to Lori that she's right about anything.. It just doesn't do.

9:14 am

Dorens

but haz, she already knows that she is!

9:14 am

KatieMcG

Lol Haz, I'll bear that in mind

9:14 am

bethn

Hi lili! It is doing much better , thanks. It is not quite rigth, but much better than before.

9:15 am

Haz1558

She thinks she knows. She doesn't need to know that she's right in her thinking.

9:15 am

nancethefan

hey beth

9:15 am

lilliann

glad to hear it and i hope it keeps healing

9:15 am

Uniquity

I try to avoid confirming her beliefs, since I am her daughter and therefore obligated to be a brat.

9:16 am

bethn

Hi katie! how is married life? I haven't seen you since the wedding. Congrats! I trust you had a lovely day & honeymoon:)

9:16 am

herinfernallady

Hi beth

9:16 am

Haz1558

I don't think you could ever be a brat, Uniquity.

9:16 am

KatieMcG

Thank beth it was great and it's reallly nice to be a normal married couple now, we have got back to squabbling about the washing up rather than talking about napkin colours :-)

9:48 am

bethn

I'm in nj, they aleways have them on the actual 4th here. I don't know what happened

9:48 am

nancethefan

maybe that thought if they had them last night, a larger crowd would take part - we live near raleigh, so i imagine that's what they were competing with - but, none the less, the 4th is the 4th - lol

9:48 am

lilliann

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii sleeepyyyyyyyyyyyyyy head!

9:48 am

herinfernallady

9:51 am

nancethefan

i only had one child. he's 31 so i've had an empty nest for a while - it's sad really having just one - if you had more than one, it would give you something to do after the first one leaves

9:51 am

herinfernallady

Beth they do that kids move out

9:51 am

KatieMcG

is Jazz a boy or a girl?

9:52 am

KatieMcG

9:52 am

KatieMcG

Kept going back until she was fed up of me :-)

9:52 am

bethn

I know herin, daughter moved out 2 yrs ago, this one is my baby tho, so it is the end of an era, I feel like the velveteen rabbit.

9:53 am

KatieMcG

Lol herin it took my dad 20 years to get my stuff out of the loft, your parents got away easy!

9:53 am

KatieMcG

He looks fantastic beth, and how good is it that just as you need him most he is learning to speak, thats great

9:54 am

10:02 am

periwinkle

help with ca6 please

10:02 am

lilliann

wtg katie!

10:02 am

SamanthaJoy

Hee hee. Christopher looks like he might just pull it off, right, herin?

10:02 am

herinfernallady

herinfernallady

Yep Sam

10:03 am

herinfernallady

Night all

10:03 am

SamanthaJoy

Well, kids will find ANY reason to pick on other kids, you know how it is.

10:03 am

KatieMcG

i bought a fridge magnet today which read "housework won't kill you, but why take the chance"........going out to sit in the sun :-)

10:03 am

SamanthaJoy

Peri, there isn't a CA6. Do you mean ca5?

10:03 am

lilliann

their is a 5 peri, is that the one tyou want, no 6's

10:04 am

periwinkle

NM have the 5 :-)\

10:04 am

KatieMcG

Enjoy your 4th July everyone

10:04 am

lilliann

lol katie, enjoy the sun

10:04 am

lilliann

i meant there

10:05 am

lilliann

it'ssunny here but keeps getting cloudy, think we'll have some rain soon

10:05 am

lilliann

true sam, and my bairn is too soft and won't stick up for herself, and gets upset

10:06 am

lilliann

i told her to tell them that you are never too old for pooh bear and that her mam loves him still

10:06 am

SamanthaJoy

I think the best you can do is reassure her that most people grow out of it, and to not believe all the lying liars who want to tell kide the lie that "these are the best years of your life"

10:08 am

lilliann

she's had alot of trouble with bullying lately and all she wants is to be friends with everyone. we've been back and forth to the school to sort it out, but sometimes, it's like they are not bothered

10:09 am

SamanthaJoy

I think this is a universal problem; I don't have a clue how to handle it.

10:09 am

lilliann

we've even spoken to parents, some are horrified at what their children have done and some aren't bothered

10:10 am

SamanthaJoy

That tells you a lot about how those children are going to grow up. So sad.

10:11 am

lilliann

but as you say it is a universal thing...we're getting to the point of just telling her to hit them or push them back, but that doesn't solve things...i don't want her ending up like them...

10:12 am

SamanthaJoy

She won't lilliann. The base motivation comes from the home. You know that.

10:13 am

lilliann

it is the most difficult thing to do, being a parent, i don't know what to do for the best...they should have a learning manual....lol

10:13 am

Cathyar

HAPPY 4th OF JULY!!!

10:13 am

SamanthaJoy

I don't have children. I don't have the nerves of steel required.

10:13 am

Anniebrook

lill, bullying really gets to me...it is widespread and awful for the recipient...I would tell my child to hit or push them back as much as I hate to do that but if all else failed, why not try?

10:13 am

nancethefan

hey again to all who have entered

10:13 am

SamanthaJoy

I have a couple of dogs, and I worry about them too much as it is!

10:13 am

10:14 am

the in7 was adjourned quickly so the police could have more time to gather evidence

10:19 am

StephieC

11:47 am

11:47 am

Dorens

i would probably try that ruru

11:47 am

Dorens

oven roasting any veg makes them incredible

11:47 am

MLFAN17

bzzz its es plus what you drive

11:47 am

Judi

Yes, Kje. Have seen veggie juicing. I think there should be an advocacy group formed to rail against it. Unless someone is making pesto, there's no need to "juice" veggies.

11:48 am

BzznBea

Roasted root veggies are yummy.

11:48 am

MLFAN17

at least thats the one i have

11:48 am

rururocks

the first two letters are "ac", it's a "4" letter word,worth "6 points" based on the points in the tile

4:06 pm

smaller

5 letter words = do the same thing but multiply by 2

4:06 pm

rl64tx

oh ok!

4:06 pm

smaller

6 letter words = do the same thing but multiply by 3, etc for 7, 8, and more letter words

4:07 pm

smaller

so a 5 letter word with all 1 point letter would = 10

4:07 pm
