the one he stole?

2:50 am

herinfernallady

No i gave him 2 pieces he ran off with one piece then he came back for the second piece I ate it in his face he was like but that was mine.

lynxxx it's only 4 letters though

3:03 am

herinfernallady

Hi

3:05 am

msilver620

I guessed and got it

3:05 am

lynxxx

sn4.5 ....4 letters with a total tile score of 5, so one of the tiles needs to have a point value of 2 - there is only one tile at the bottom with a value of 2

3:06 am

herinfernallady

If you can have inert why can't I have nert?

3:06 am

lynxxx

Do you see how you could get it by counting the points on the tiles? it will help you in the future

3:08 am

lynxxx

well you can't have nert but you could have nerts - pity it isn't there

3:08 am

herinfernallady

OH I didn't know that

nerts = nuts or crazy

16lb so far, Kitt!

4:19 am

KatieMcG

well done ata, you have overtaken me now :-)

4:20 am

KatieMcG

ar5 clues please

4:20 am

Atalante

yeah, but yesterday I ate vast amounts of dim sum and wine, so I don't think much is going to happen this week!!

4:20 am

Haz1558

ar5 - add a writing instrument

4:20 am

KatieMcG

Thanks Haz :-)

4:20 am

Atalante

haz gets there while I'm half way through trying to clue it!

4:21 am

Haz1558

You're welcome. Good morning/evening all. Ata, your weight loss may have come from brain shrinkage. Horror!

4:21 am

KatieMcG

I went to a wedding on Saturday and away with the girls Sunday/Monday, working on the principle that staying the same this week will be a good result

4:21 am

mrpresident

hi all :)

4:21 am

Haz1558

Good morning, mrpresident

4:21 am

KristineNas

hi mrp

4:21 am

Atalante

do you know what, I think you're probably right, haz!

4:22 am

Haz1558

I think so. Does your head feel as if it has more room in it? It's a sure sign.

4:24 am

Atalante

well I keep having nose bleeds at the moment ... is that my IQ draining away?

4:24 am

Haz1558

I'm afraid so.

4:24 am

Atalante

darn. oh well. I'll be able to join Lori in Densa

4:25 am

Haz1558

You have to take, and fail, the exam before she'll let you in.

4:25 am

mrpresident

ummm, I am finding this grid too easy!! am I being fooled?

4:25 am

KatieMcG

I think I could do that :-)

4:25 am

Atalante

I think that would be quite easy!

4:25 am

KatieMcG

I'm stuck on the last 7 but flew through it until now

4:26 am

KristineNas

No mrp , i have 10 left after just 20 minutes !!

4:26 am

Haz1558

It's not a hard grid so you're not being fooled.

4:26 am

mrpresident

ah, good!!

4:27 am

Haz1558

It's hard for Ata though, what with her suffering from brain drain and everything.

4:27 am

Atalante

it's very very hard. especially with a cat howling like she's trying to impersonate a banshee

4:28 am

KatieMcG

are you being mean to her ata?

4:28 am

Haz1558

She has probably sensed that your IQ's draining away and doesn't want to be stuck with a stupid owner.

4:28 am

Atalante

would I???!!!!

4:28 am

Atalante

her iq is probably higher than mine now

4:29 am

Haz1558

Sign her up for next year's university challenge!

4:29 am

KatieMcG

2 out of my 3 have always had a higher IQ than me but at least I'm not as thick as Crumble

4:29 am

Atalante

that would confuse jeremy

4:30 am

Atalante

pooor crumble lol

4:30 am

Haz1558

He would frown horribly, I think.

4:30 am

KatieMcG

did you see Nuts had approached the girls brother to see if she would do a 'tasteful' photoshoot

4:31 am

Haz1558

The girl being?

4:31 am

KristineNas

~!~!~!~!~FIREWORKS~!~!~!~!~

4:31 am

Haz1558

Congratulations Kristine!

4:31 am

KatieMcG

i don't know her name the really smart one from Oxford whose team won last night

4:31 am

Atalante

yay kris!

4:31 am

KatieMcG

congrats Kristine

4:32 am

Haz1558

Gail Trimble.

4:32 am

mrpresident

ok, 10 left... wow

4:32 am

Atalante

was it the final last night/?

4:32 am

Haz1558

Apparently lots of people don't like her because she's too smart. Isn't it strange? I thought that was the point of the programme, to answer questions correctly.

4:32 am

KristineNas

ty ty

4:33 am

Haz1558

I hope she tells them to clear off.

4:33 am

Atalante

how silly!

4:33 am

Haz1558

Yes, Ata. Corpus Christi won. I didn't see it because I was out but looked up the results this morning.

4:33 am

Atalante

was out too

4:34 am

Haz1558

I thought she was brilliant.

4:34 am

KristineNas

have a good day all , i have tons to do today !

4:34 am

Atalante

did spangle cheer her too, in previous rounds?

4:34 am

Haz1558

You too, Kristine.

4:35 am

Haz1558

Absolutely. I could see that she wished she could be Gail Trimble's dog. 'There's a REALLY clever woman' I could hear her think.

4:36 am

Atalante

I suspect Hobbit did too

4:37 am

Haz1558

I did point out to her that Gail Trimble probably would be too busy studying to take her for walks. That seemed to calm her down.

4:37 am

Atalante

I'm sure she should study and walk Spangle at the same time

4:38 am

KatieMcG

sorry internet crashed - her brother replied "would you let your sister do it!!"

4:38 am

Atalante

good for him!

4:38 am

Haz1558

Might she not keep bumping into things? Or would it be Spangle's job to steer her around obstacles?

4:38 am

KatieMcG

I'm sure she could do anything, she was on Breakfast this morning and came over so well

4:38 am

Haz1558

Her brother sounds eminently sensible. Stupid magazine.

4:39 am

Haz1558

There's something wrong with people if they can't just applaud someone who does something well.

4:40 am

KatieMcG

exactly Haz. I play bingo on line (moment of guilt) and someone won Â£37,000. Some people were being really horrible

4:40 am

Atalante

no point being mean. much better to spend the time plotting how to become Best Friends with the winner

4:41 am

Haz1558

It's weird. Did you get their address, Katie?

4:42 am

KatieMcG

Lol, she was so excited still and who can blame her. She had transfered the winnings out and only left Â£40 in her bingo account. I thought that was so sensible. I get excited if I win Â£2.50 :-)

4:42 am

Haz1558

I don't know if either of you watch Dancing on Ice? Ray Quinn is extraordinarily good and yet is being criticised in some quarters for being too good. Why not just enjoy?

4:43 am

Atalante

has that guy from eastenders gone yet? the one who was awfully bad?

4:43 am

Haz1558

I hope she gets good advice on where to put the money. Don't let her anywhere near Iceland.

4:43 am

Haz1558

Todd Carty has gone. The joke could only last so long.

4:44 am

KatieMcG

Ray if fantastic isn't he, I have started to watch it just to see him. It is a sign of what is wrong with our culture when success is seen as a bad thing

4:44 am

Atalante

John Sargeant managed it!

4:45 am

KatieMcG

I think Todd went at the right time being as he could hardly stand let alone dance. However he took it as it should have been and treated it as a laugh. I think he was glad to go

4:45 am

Haz1558

Ray is brilliant - one very talented young man and yet heavily criticised for it. Some people would rather listen to morons who have nothing to say and who say it repeatedly.

4:45 am

Atalante

*manages not to make babble-related comment*

4:45 am

Haz1558

I think you're right, Katie. The thing was that the judges weren't nasty to him and took the whole thing as it was meant to be.

4:46 am

KatieMcG

He also came second on X Factor and is a great singer. As well as staring in Brookside when he was little - is there no end to this man's talents

4:46 am

Haz1558

Very restrained, Ata.

4:46 am

Haz1558

He probably wouldn't be brilliant at University Challenge.

4:46 am

Atalante

who was he in Brookside?

4:46 am

KatieMcG

he was the little boy who murdered the girl that was bullying him

4:46 am

Haz1558

A little boy - Anthony?

4:47 am

KatieMcG

That's the one

4:47 am

Atalante

ohhhh!

4:48 am

Haz1558

Brookside could never be accused of having unrealistic storylines, could it? He was about 11 and wanted to be a priest but kind of messed up by murdering the girl.

4:48 am

Atalante

I liked Brookside

4:48 am

Haz1558

A bit of a worry for him when it would come to filling in application forms.

4:49 am

bfsog

Brookside, i loved that show!

4:49 am

Haz1558

We ended up not watching it regularly. The accent was a bit of a worry.

4:49 am

Atalante

lol yes. Jennifer Ellison got rather annoying

4:50 am

Haz1558

We're flushing out the Brookside fan club! Good morning bf.

4:50 am

Atalante

but compared toEastenders or corrie, Brookside was great

4:51 am

Haz1558

I've never got into Eastenders. The trailers aren't encouraging with all that scowling.

4:51 am

Haz1558

And the accent's a bit of a worry.

4:52 am

Atalante

yep! I don't want to sit down each night and watch people being even more depressing than normal

4:52 am

Atalante

oh Haz - talking of accents ... (kind of) ... have you ever seen a Union Jack flag in green, orange and white? Is it a strange Irish thing?

4:53 am

Haz1558

I've seen it - I've no idea whose idea it was and whether it represents hostility or unity.

4:54 am

Haz1558

It just looks like a mish-mash.

4:54 am

Atalante

never seen one before, but there was a huuuuge one flying outside the SOuth Bank Centre in London yesterday

4:54 am

Atalante

I was rather concerned

4:54 am

Haz1558

Did you think the Irish had taken over?

4:54 am

Atalante

absolutely!

4:55 am

Atalante

I was expecting to hear "begorrahs" at every turn

4:55 am

Haz1558

And leprechauns jumping out of every doorway.

4:56 am

Atalante

oh yes. but no. none of that was seen. just this huuuge strange Union Jack flag

4:56 am

Haz1558

'Will you give me some money? Ah you will, you will, you will'

4:56 am

Haz1558

I haven't heard that there's been an Irish takeover, but then, we'd be the last to know.

4:57 am

Atalante

I was a little bewildered. But the South Bank is always a very strange palce

4:58 am

Haz1558

Katie's got awfully quiet. Is she playing bingo, do you suppose?

4:59 am

Atalante

or equally bewildered by the leprechaun invasion

4:59 am

Haz1558

Maybe they've used the proceeds of the Northern Bank robbery to take over the South Bank.

4:59 am

Atalante

or the Â£12k each was reallocated

5:00 am

Haz1558

Could the leprechauns be holding her hostage? 'Hand over the Â£37,000 or she gets the shillelagh treatment!'

5:00 am

Atalante

threatening her with Baileys

5:01 am

Haz1558

They've probably plied her with Baileys. All she'll be worrying about is the calorie content.

5:01 am

KatieMcG

I was reading about Ray Quinn's plot lines in brookside!

5:01 am

Atalante

someone really needs to make diet Baileys

5:01 am

Atalante

lmao

5:01 am

Haz1558

She's back! The leprechauns realised that she couldn't be held captive for long!

5:01 am

KatieMcG

Oh yes ata, slimline baileys would be such a good idea

5:02 am

Haz1558

Ladies, you've got to resist temptation, not water it down.

5:02 am

KatieMcG

my brave pussy cats came to same me lol

5:03 am

Haz1558

You mean they drank the Baileys and are lying contentedly at your feet?

5:03 am

Atalante

there. I have the weird flag as my icon

5:03 am

KatieMcG

They are about to get the shock of their lives as I am going to paint the bedroom and thus they have to be thrown of the bed all three of them are sleeping on

5:03 am

Haz1558

Yes, that's the one. It makes you think your eyes are playing tricks.

5:04 am

Haz1558

Couldn't you just put a sheet over them?

5:04 am

Atalante

it does! for a while I thought it was just faded, but then realised it wasn't

5:04 am

Haz1558

Katie, are you going to use one of those new paint pods? They look fun!

5:05 am

KatieMcG

That is such a good idea Haz, will do it just for a laugh

5:05 am

Haz1558

*smug*

5:05 am

KatieMcG

I'm going to do it the old fashioned way with a paint pad, we tried the spray for fence panels last year which was an unmitigated disaster which put me off for technology for life

5:06 am

Haz1558

But the adverts make the paint pod look great. They make you think that there could be no more fun in life that painting every surface.

5:06 am

Haz1558

But then, adverts don't always tell the truth, do they?

5:07 am

Atalante

painting every surface in a room is NEVER fun!

5:08 am

Haz1558

No matter how hard I try, I end up splashed with little globules of paint.

5:08 am

FMitch

Good morning Haz, Ata, Katie :)

5:09 am

KatieMcG

I only have to do three walls and gloss one door. I did the rest of it 18 months ago so the rest of the gloss and ceiling are ok. I do have to take down the curtain rail which could be exciting

5:09 am

Haz1558

Oh look! Good morning FM!

5:09 am

KatieMcG

Morning FM

Taking down curtain rails = bringing down half the plaster with it.

5:10 am

FMitch

Thought I would pop in for a hello and how are you?
and find out what the grid is like today, didn't even start yesterdays :(

5:10 am

Haz1558

It's a nice grid, FM, very fast and doable.

5:10 am

MonkeyGames

Hi for a few minutes, folks!

5:11 am

KatieMcG

exactly Haz, looking forward to it. Have been shown where the filler is to repair damage caused, he has no idea as to the limit of my abilities

5:11 am

FMitch

Oh goody, I shall give it a go then

5:11 am

Haz1558

Hello MG.

5:11 am

KatieMcG

lovely quick grid FM

5:11 am

KatieMcG

Hi MG

5:11 am

MonkeyGames

Yes, heartily enjoying the grid today.

5:12 am

FMitch

BRB

5:12 am

Haz1558

Katie, think of the filler as icing and the wall as a cake.

5:12 am

Atalante

hi FM! oops missed her

5:13 am

Haz1558

She's like the Scarlet Pimpernel, that FM.

5:13 am

Atalante

don't say that unless filler tastes really really yummy

5:13 am

FMitch

BLOL Morning Ata :)

5:13 am

KatieMcG

I'd better go and get on with it. I'll be back with updates during the day *think icing, think icing, think icing*

5:14 am

Haz1558

And smoooooooooooooth.

5:14 am

FMitch

oops sorry that was supposed to be LOL.
Bye Katie and Hi MG

5:14 am

Haz1558

I thought it was 'Burst laughing out loud'

5:14 am

Atalante

hi FM!

5:14 am

Haz1558

Or maybe 'Begorrah Laughing out loud'

5:14 am

FMitch

oo thats a good one Haz

5:15 am

Atalante

I have no brains any more, FM :(

5:15 am

Haz1558

Because of the Irish invasion of the South Bank.

5:15 am

Atalante

do you think I should inform Scotland Yard?

5:15 am

Haz1558

Yes! Ata's brains have drained away.

5:15 am

FMitch

How was the concert Haz?

5:16 am

Haz1558

It was great! Lovely singing, great compere (you wouldn't have understood the half of what he was saying) but most men were over 90.;

5:16 am

Haz1558

Okay, that was an exaggeration. The average age was over 50 but they could sing!

5:16 am

Atalante

all that Baileys

5:17 am

FMitch

Average age over 50 sounds fine (I suddenly feel rather old)!

5:18 am

FMitch

I was looking at the cost of west end theatre tickets on Sunday, sooooo expesive!

5:18 am

Haz1558

Ata, it was a concert featuring lots of male voice choirs from all over Northern Ireland. We also had a very glamorous Irish harpist. A lovely evening of music and fun.

5:19 am

Haz1558

For some reason, male voice choirs seem to be mostly elderly but isn't it great that they can have fun together and make such lovely music?

5:19 am

Atalante

oh lovely!

5:19 am

MonkeyGames

OK, supposed to be working on something for a fried but the requisite site won't load, so I 'm off to clean my house for a bit and try again. Have fun, everyone!

5:19 am

Haz1558

Bye MG.

5:19 am

FMitch

*drools at the thought of Baileys*

5:19 am

FMitch

Bye MG

5:19 am

Atalante

FM - sneaky tip - if you don't care about seeing "stars" - look into the RADA performance schedule. THey always have tickets to see their stuff, and 99% of the time, they are very very very good

5:19 am

Haz1558

There were some really inventive combovers. Nearly Donald Trump standard.

5:20 am

FMitch

Really Ata, thanks for that , will have a google later.

5:21 am

FMitch

LOL Haz

5:21 am

Haz1558

Anyway, what do you think of Ata's problem? Brain drain.

5:21 am

FMitch

Why do men feel the need to 'comb over' it is totally perplexing!

5:22 am

Haz1558

I don't know. Maybe they have problems with their brains escaping as well and they want to hide the evidence.

5:22 am

FMitch

Ata has brain drain? I've obviously missed the crucual headlines today.

5:22 am

Haz1558

I agree though. If their hair is gone, let it go.

5:23 am

Haz1558

Oh yes! You should scroll back. She's been having nose bleeds. The IQ is just leeching from her.

5:23 am

cool girl

fireworks

5:23 am

Atalante

yes. I do. I'm not quite sure how it started though

5:24 am

Haz1558

Congratulations cool girl!

5:24 am

Atalante

I just put another interesting pic up from yesterday, but it's too small and you can't see it *annoyed*

5:24 am

cool girl

thanks haz

5:24 am

FMitch

Congrats cool girl

5:24 am

Haz1558

That proves it. She can't even work her icons now.

5:25 am

Haz1558

You kept very quiet, cool girl, did you just put your head down and plough through?

5:25 am

FMitch

Mind you as Ata is from such great stock surely she can afford to lose a few brain cells and still be brilliant!?

5:25 am

Haz1558

A few, perhaps, but who knows how many have disappeared? Densa beckons.

5:25 am

Atalante

good point FM

5:26 am

Atalante

I did get oblivion in facebook scrabble the other day!

5:26 am

FMitch

*grin*

5:26 am

Haz1558

Did Grandad Einstein ever have problems with epistaxis?

5:27 am

Atalante

not that he ever told me!

5:27 am

FMitch

*refuses to pick up dictionary to look up that word*

5:28 am

Haz1558

(Cue the looking up of epistaxis or the blank look of those who think I have gone mad)

5:28 am

Haz1558

Nose bleed! It's the medical term for nose bleed.

5:28 am

FMitch

LOL noe bleed related perhaps?

5:28 am

FMitch

Ah there is hope for me yet (but not for my sp skills)

5:29 am

FMitch

by the by - where is Lori?

5:29 am

Atalante

drinking baileys

5:29 am

Haz1558

That's a good question. Hopefully not having an episode of epistaxis for she definitely can't afford to lose any brain cells.

5:30 am

Haz1558

And I don't think she'll be being held by leprechauns. Canada's too big to try to take over.

5:31 am

FMitch

She must be in hiding as I have an extra special super duper top of the range new fangled water bomb for her

5:31 am

Haz1558

You'll make no military strategist, FM. You've given away your secret!

5:31 am

Haz1558

Or is that a blind and you're really intending to lob something entirely different?

5:32 am

FMitch

Ah now that would be telling :)

5:32 am

Atalante

there. emailed you the randomly interesting photo from yesterday!

5:33 am

FMitch

hops off to email for a mo

5:34 am

Haz1558

A lying in hospital! It reminds me of an old gentleman we knew who used to talk of being sent to the country for convalescence to a place called 'The Bangor Home for Tired Men and Lads'

5:34 am

Atalante

oh how wonderful!

5:34 am

FMitch

Beautiful facade against the glass office bocks - is that in London?

5:34 am

Haz1558

I love the image of droopy men and boys sleeping everywhere.

5:35 am

Atalante

yep just down from Westminster Bridge

5:35 am

Atalante

I must have walked past that hundreds of times and never noticed it

5:35 am

FMitch

Isn't it a great memorial to such a forgotten phrase.

5:35 am

LoriP

FM!!!!!! ***whaps her with a feather pillow head shot***

5:36 am

Haz1558

I know. Sometimes it pays to look up and see what's on some buildings.

5:36 am

LoriP

G'd mornign Babblers!

5:36 am

Atalante

I was so pleased. It made my day seeing that! And there was another old hospital building with beautiful Art Nouveau lettering and sculptures nearby. Just beautiful

5:36 am

Haz1558

Good morning Lori! Well executed manoeuvre on FM!

5:36 am

Atalante

hi Lori!

5:36 am

FMitch

There she is!!! Hey Lori :)

5:36 am

LoriP

How's this grid? Sometimes small ones are tricky

5:37 am

Haz1558

It's an easy one, Lori, even for someone from Densa.

5:37 am

FMitch

*ouch* didn't see that one comming at all, hve you been practicing?

5:37 am

Haz1558

So much for FM's plan for launching preemptive strikes with water balloons.

5:38 am

LoriP

Lofty claim re: DENSA. We'll see.....

5:38 am

FMitch

It was all a bluff Haz, just to get her to break cover.

5:38 am

herinfernallady

Hi and Excuse me. Good to see you FMitch. I have the Pe 8 have gone through back chog. I have the Pe 8 what is the other please?

5:38 am

Haz1558

Oh, you're quite the strategist, FM.

5:38 am

Haz1558

pr8 - just change a couple of letters around

5:39 am

FMitch

Hi herin :)

5:39 am

herinfernallady

thank you and back to looking for words. Don't wish to interupt

5:39 am

Haz1558

From the pe8 that is.

5:39 am

LoriP

Yesterday was quite the day. There was a communication mix up, and the true KofG did not get to my shed until yesterday morning.

5:39 am

FMitch

Darn, herin has reminded me there is a grid waiting to be done but I guess it can wait till later, chat is more fun!

5:40 am

LoriP

Grid ?

5:40 am

Haz1558

And is Emma well settled in? Have you spoken of the operation in whispers so that she doesn't get wind of it?

5:40 am

herinfernallady

Dash it I should have seen that Pr as I have been ear bashed that word in Legal Practice classes. Go have fun FMitch and everyone I am abou to bed it

5:41 am

FMitch

Lori has been entrusted with the KoG? Is the shed up to spec?
Sleep wekk herin

5:41 am

LoriP

We felt it best to keep it as a surprise Haz, so we didn't tell her.

5:41 am

FMitch

sleep well even!

5:41 am

herinfernallady

Been up since 530am im going to go sleep like a log

5:42 am

Haz1558

Much the best plan. And if she starts to look suspicious, speak in French. Or use code as in 'The cat is going for an op9

5:42 am

Atalante

when will the deed be done?

5:42 am

Atalante

maybe not French in Canada. Go for Chinese

5:43 am

LoriP

Hopefully this week, for logistical reasons. We have her on the cancellation list.

5:43 am

LoriP

FM's taken my typing course? ;p

5:44 am

Haz1558

But, Lori is more likely to have conquered French than Mandarin. And Emma may be a Kitten of Glory but bilingual at 6 months?

5:44 am

Atalante

in a bilingual country ... you never know!

5:44 am

Trifioso

good morning babble friends! stuck on the lonely I for NBT...please, is it an in- word?

5:44 am

FMitch

*hangs head in shame* but at least you know it is me typing, the day I get a post out without a sp mistake be very suspicious!

5:45 am

Haz1558

It is, Trif. It can also be an en word if that helps.

5:45 am

FMitch

Hi there Trif, sorry can't help, haven't started yet.

5:45 am

LoriP

lolol FM G'd morning Tri, no idea as I have 1 word.

5:45 am

Haz1558

The day you get a post out with no spelling mistakes but with many begorrahs is the day we'll know that the leprechauns have succeeded.

5:46 am

Atalante

and taken over the South Bank

5:46 am

Trifioso

thank you very much, haz! monkeys and I are off to hunt....

5:46 am

Haz1558

They've already done that. And so quietly as well.

5:46 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Trif.

5:47 am

FMitch

Haz!! that scentence was gramatically incorrect, get unsettled and suspicious all in one go...
and fall over as a result.

5:47 am

Haz1558

I think FM's been at the Baileys to build up her tolerance against the leprechauns.

5:48 am

FMitch

*then hits self with fish as of course it was gramatically correct* sigh.

5:48 am

LoriP

"Scentence"? heh heh heh smells suspicious to me.

5:48 am

herinfernallady

The Bottom I (eye) is what you said trif plus to enclose in something wound or folded about

5:48 am

FMitch

Oh OK already!!!! I suck!

5:49 am

Trifioso

thanks herin! and haz ....NBT!

5:49 am

Haz1558

Keep drinking the Baileys, FM.

5:49 am

FMitch

Thankgoodness I only have 10 more mins left to embarass myself publically.

5:49 am

Trifioso

this grid is a strange one alright. I have never seen a center tile with 0/0

5:49 am

LoriP

It's so nice to have FM back to blame everything on. It wasn't as much fun when she didn't know.

5:50 am

Trifioso

and most of the right side is dead as well....strange

5:50 am

Karys

Hello everyone..... Haz, you are just the person I need ( I think), have you ever reheated pancakes ?

5:50 am

Atalante

yes, much more fun

5:50 am

Haz1558

Hello Karys! What sort of pancakes?

5:50 am

Trifioso

Haz, lol, but I think we need to drink something *else* today.....de5 comes to mind!

5:50 am

FMitch

Hi Karys

5:51 am

LoriP

G'd morning Karys

5:51 am

Karys

Just the plain ones

5:51 am

Haz1558

Plain as in crepes?

5:52 am

herinfernallady

sneaks back in. I knew I had a great excuse to eat Pancakes for tea tonight (and didn't)

5:52 am

Karys

yes Haz... sorry

5:52 am

Haz1558

What are you planning to do?

5:52 am

Trifioso

make some now, herin!

5:52 am

LoriP

***was hoping Haz would type 'creeps'***

5:52 am

FMitch

LOL of course it's Pancake Tuesday isn't it.

5:52 am

Atalante

as if Haz would do such a thing!

5:53 am

Karys

well I have made them for this evening, since I have the family coming for a meal

5:53 am

LoriP

Uni is at Mom's for donut day! She gets Grammy's fab donuts, and I don't. ***pouty face***

5:53 am

Haz1558

Please. I've had no epistaxis.

5:53 am

carleekat

5:53 am

carleekat

*tackle hug lorip*

5:53 am

Trifioso

yummmm, it is FM, and I am going out to brekky with all my expat ladies today - I know what I am ordering! :)

5:53 am

FMitch

*releases waterbombs* Ha Ha!!!!!!

5:53 am

Haz1558

They can be reheated in the oven, stack them up, cover with foil.

5:53 am

LoriP

***whacks carlee with ACME/Coyote style large hammer***

5:54 am

LoriP

Mornin' carlee

5:54 am

carleekat

*#*#*#*#*#*#* <seeing stars>

5:54 am

Karys

thank you, are they still as good ?

5:54 am

FMitch

*splutters a friendly greeting to carlee*

5:54 am

kje

today is national pancake day, trif... seriously

5:54 am

carleekat

morning Lori...fm :)

5:55 am

Haz1558

Yes, they'll be fine. You'll be putting some sort of filling in them and the foil will stop them getting dried out.

5:55 am

Trifioso

excellent, kje! I will be the well-behaved Yank at the table then

5:55 am

Haz1558

I'm retreating under the desk, deploying umbrellas and getting the under-desk mirrors and arm stretchers on.

5:55 am

Karys

Great... last two and then all done ( feeling a little smug )

5:56 am

carleekat

is george under there with u haz?

5:56 am

FMitch

HI kje :)

5:56 am

Haz1558

Smug is a great feeling. Ata's had it all her life.

5:56 am

Trifioso

LOL!

5:56 am

kje

gm FM

5:56 am

Haz1558

No, just enough room for me, I'm afraid.

5:57 am

Atalante

smug is good

5:57 am

carleekat

fm...we COULD kidnap george <nudge nudge>

5:57 am

LoriP

lol Haz, no Secret Service guys talking in to their sleeves?

5:57 am

LoriP

G'd morning kje. Ata is the resident smug expert. Should she have groupies?

5:57 am

FMitch

Shhhh carlee, it has taken me months to get him back to my cupboard

5:57 am

Haz1558

No, a distinct lack of them. Spangle doesn't take kindly to big men with shades and menacing expressions.

5:58 am

kje

hi lori

5:58 am

carleekat

ahhh...sorry...I guess I missed that memo

5:58 am

LoriP

Spangle is wise. Sleeve talkers are often double agents.

5:58 am

Atalante

I do!

5:59 am

Haz1558

I mean. What makes them think that they're blending into the background? Talking into sleeves is enough to get most people into the Home for the Bewildered.

5:59 am

FMitch

As much as it pains me my babble time is up fo now as 12.00 approaches. Not sure I can pull off the Cinerella act at 12 mid day but I do have to poof :((

5:59 am

carleekat

so....for those who care to hear the update...my citizenship ceremony went off withut a single hitch..we had the royal canadian legion ( for free no less) ... we had the war vets...we had the "cute" rcmp officer and we had the local member of parliament administer the oath

5:59 am

Trifioso

do they still talk into their sleeves? I thought now they had those bluetooth ear thingies

6:00 am

LoriP

***Later gator! See ya' in a bit FM***

6:00 am

Haz1558

Any couriers coming today, FM? Any chance of Mr Courier 2009 ringing your doorbell?

6:00 am

carleekat

take care FM...

6:00 am

Atalante

*clings onto FM*

6:00 am

Trifioso

oh, well done you, carlee! I did wonder how that went....did the girls make it all through the night okay?

6:00 am

carleekat

6:00 am

FMitch

Sound brilliant carlee!

6:00 am

Atalante

oh dear. the queen has a powder puff on her head

6:00 am

kje

congrats carlee!!!

6:00 am

Trifioso

or is that a seperate fete?

6:00 am

Haz1558

Poor Ata. Brains draining and now FM leaving. There's not a lot going for you today.

6:00 am

kje

bye FM - hagd

6:01 am

carleekat

oh..the all night thing is mar 13

6:01 am

FMitch

Fraid not Haz, no couriers on the horizon :(
Lovely to chat and Happy Babbling.

6:01 am

LoriP

The Queen often wears alarming objects on her noggin'......

6:01 am

Trifioso

thanks carlee. figures I would get them confused. all apologies

6:01 am

welsh bookworm

hi everyone

6:01 am

Haz1558

Bye FM!

6:01 am

Atalante

this one is particularly concerning. it's a a tribute to the Queen Mother's taste in hats

6:01 am

carleekat

no problem..i live them and have a hard time keeping it all straight:)

6:01 am

LoriP

G'd morning welsh

6:01 am

Trifioso

hello welsh! your little dancing chicken is ADORABLE

6:01 am

Haz1558

But why a powder puff? Is it one of those fascinators?

6:02 am

bichon

Hi to all this fine Babble morning

6:02 am

Haz1558

Oh, is it the unveiling of the statue today?

6:02 am

Atalante

NO! it's a BIG powder puff!

6:02 am

Trifioso

Ata, what occasion is the queen attending?

6:02 am

carleekat

statue?..what statue ?

6:02 am

LoriP

G'd morning bichon

6:02 am

Atalante

yep, right now

6:02 am

Haz1558

Good morning BIchon.

6:02 am

Haz1558

Maybe it is one of her mother's hats. A real tribute.

6:02 am

Trifioso

oh dear. how sad for HRH

6:02 am

Atalante

unveiling of a statue to the Queen Mom

6:02 am

kje

LOL welsh! thanks, I needed that

6:02 am

carleekat

oh man..her hats were dreadful most of the time

6:02 am

bichon

I was flying through this grid and then pow! a wall

6:03 am

LoriP

I once saw the Queen wear what looked like a small dog seated upon the Royal noggin'. It was disturbing.

6:03 am

Atalante

wow, that's one heck of a statue!

6:03 am

Trifioso

I believe I might be experiencing grid lock as well, bichon. however, I did get to just 26 left, so that's not too bad, I guess. How are you doing?

6:03 am

Haz1558

The Queen Mother found a style that she thought suited her and stuck to it for many years. It saved making too many decisions.

6:04 am

LoriP

bichon, if it makes you feel better, I have 14 words. :)

6:04 am

Trifioso

I found the BBC affiliate here, but it isn't live, unfortunately....

6:04 am

bichon

I'm great Trif. At least the weather has calmed down and my daughter found a babysitter so I'm not driving down to West Haven several times a week. More time to Babble

6:04 am

carleekat

you pay people to make those types of decisions

6:04 am

Atalante

(this was an apricot powder puff, just to add to the disturbance)

6:05 am

Haz1558

I saw a picture of it in the paper yesterday - the statue, I mean, rather than the powder puff.

6:05 am

Trifioso

bichon, how is the temp there today? it is BITTER here...I think I could vaccinate the kids with the rhododendron leaves!

6:06 am

Trifioso

ATA, does this mean she is wearing apricot coloured clothing?

6:06 am

Atalante

yep

6:06 am

bichon

i haven't been out yet today, but yesterday it was wicked!"

6:06 am

Trifioso

what other members of the family are there?

6:06 am

Haz1558

She's worn apricot before. She likes to give every shade a turn.

6:07 am

Atalante

charles, camilla, william, harry, andrew, beatrice, eugenie, edward, sophie, anne and lots of minors.

6:07 am

Haz1558

Prince Charles is speaking now.

6:07 am

Scrabbler

Good morning kids. 11 degrees F here. Brrrrrr.

6:07 am

bichon

My daughter, her husband and their daughter live in West Haven

6:07 am

Trifioso

I miss my mother in law....she and I always used talk about the queen, and how much she (MIL) loved her....

6:07 am

Trifioso

thanks ata

6:08 am

carleekat

Haz1558

Good morning Scrabbler.

6:08 am

Trifioso

6:08 am

Scrabbler

Carlee--where have you been? I missed you last week.

6:08 am

carleekat

There may be a touch of housework involved, Lori. Just a touch.

6:11 am

Trifioso

ata - you could also babble with brawing

6:11 am

Haz1558

Bye for now!

6:11 am

6:11 am

bichon

I've heard Buffalo speak. It's definitely not Brooklyn

6:11 am

Scrabbler

The middle of this grid is constipated with consonants, huh?

6:11 am

mrpresident

how is everyone :))

6:11 am

Atalante

I could, but that wouldn't make me much money! *poof*

6:11 am

herinfernallady

hugs

6:11 am

kje

hi mrp!

6:12 am

kje

poor constipated grid... funny image scrab

6:12 am

mrpresident

hugs infern!

6:12 am

Trifioso

mr p = don't be alarmed, but I felt strangely ...happy...this morning. good feeling!

6:12 am

Scrabbler

CLogged up with consonants..look at that mess.

6:12 am

LoriP

Later Ata Hari

6:12 am

kje

yay trif!

6:12 am

Scrabbler

Yippee for Trif!

6:12 am

kje

bbiab

6:12 am

mrpresident

ooooh! what happened this morning??? have you had anything good go on?

6:13 am

LoriP

Scrabbler should prescribe an antiobiotic for this grid, and additional fiber.

6:13 am

bichon

Yes, it should definitely move its vowels

6:13 am

Trifioso

this is going to sound so odd, but my dreaded marriage counseling appointment was cancelled last night, as clinician was sick with flu. I felt like 100 pounds flew right off me. there is probably more to this, but I don't want to over think it

6:14 am

carleekat

not odd trifs...

6:14 am

bichon

Trif, is it couples counseling or just you?

6:15 am

mrpresident

do you like your clinician??

6:15 am

Scrabbler

Bichon---great line, LOL!!

6:15 am

Trifioso

could it be that I am finally getting used to this new life of mine? I think it could be...I am seeing new blessings, and making the house my own. the kids are coping, and maybe, just maybe, we are gonna be okay. and yes, mr. p, I love the woman we see. she is great.

6:16 am

mrpresident

that is great news trif!
How long have you had your 'new life' ??

6:16 am

Trifioso

since halloween

6:16 am

Trifioso

so this is probably just a phase

6:16 am

Scrabbler

Trif, you are finding a new normal, realizing your independence, your resilience, ....good for you! (Trif)

6:16 am

hurshy

it could also be that you have a natural reaction to facing counselling which is an emotionally draining thing

6:17 am

mrpresident

I believe separating from a partner (especially when you have children with them) is an enormous and brave challenge

6:17 am

carleekat

welcome to the sisterhood trifs

6:17 am

Trifioso

thanks, friends. how I love you all....

6:17 am

Scrabbler

Hi hursh

6:17 am

Trifioso

I didn't ask for this mr p, just so you know the truth. I got well and truly dumped.

6:18 am

hurshy

but he's doing counseling with you?

6:18 am

LoriP

Right side done, DENSA Prez feels a tiny smug moment. Only 89 words left to go....

6:18 am

Scrabbler

And you are rising above this and demonstrating strength to your kids.

6:18 am

Scrabbler

Go Lori go!

6:18 am

mrpresident

bloody bastard! how frigging nasty for you trif... but you sound like you are recovering well now!

6:18 am

Trifioso

he sits and acts like an ass for an hour, and calls it counseling. we made an appointment with a mediator to help us figure out the financial stuff. he is gonna get his head snapped back when he realizes he actually DOES still have to pay for stuff

6:19 am

hurshy

ah.

6:19 am

bichon

Maybe, down the road a while, it will seem like it was for the best. At least you know that you are the better person.

6:19 am

Trifioso

let's not talk about this anymore, shall we? I want to hold on to my happy feeling.....

6:19 am

carleekat

yeap..focus on the kids... and you... keep your "circle" warm... and safe

6:19 am

Scrabbler

Yay for Trif feeling happy this AM, now let's find words.

6:20 am

Trifioso

I got ridiculously elated yesterday at the craft store= walked down the fake flower aisle in pursuit of something else, and all the bright colors and blooms were such a lovely sight in the midst of all the snow and ice here

6:20 am

mrpresident

6:25 am

crosshair

6:27 am

mrpresident

yes trif... but most are poisoned and have myxamytosis

6:27 am

Trifioso

6:28 am

carleekat

we are removating ..again...$ into that..and saving for a christmas trip to costa rica..I will forgo the laptop

6:29 am

Trifioso

He is just a narcissistic idiot and everyone agrees

6:35 am

Trifioso

Sorry, I am not being a good Christian now. I love him but dislike him greatly, and pray for him to recover from jerkdom
