2:18 am

melonheadjujube

I guessed that - it's clever.

2:18 am

o-o

chog is a portmanteau: a word or morpheme whose form and meaning are derived from a blending of two or more distinct forms (as smog from smoke and fog)

hi Red. Inspection done OK?

4:00 am

fuquayvarina

hi red!

4:00 am

redturtlehead

Well, I heard nothing, so I am assuming that there were no major structural flaws. Will probably get a list of repair requests...today.

4:01 am

Andree

hi red and haz and thx for po

4:01 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Andree.

4:01 am

sprite

thanks haz, got it

4:01 am

lynxxx

Really? and do you have to do them or is it just to barter down the price?

4:02 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, sprite.

4:02 am

redturtlehead

Generally you do most of them, but they should be little things. I think they will ask for some wooden steps to be repaired. and possibly some other little things.

4:02 am

Atalante

hi all :)

4:03 am

Haz1558

Good morning Ata!

4:03 am

sprite

hi Ata

4:03 am

ick. could peter mandelson get any more smarmy if he tried?

4:03 am

hello Ata!

hi Ata

4:03 am

fuquayvarina

hey ata!

4:03 am

Haz1558

What's he done now?

4:03 am

Haz1558

Apart from rallying the troops?

4:03 am

Andree

hi ata

4:04 am

Atalante

being gordon's best buddy, and nearly foreign secrtary

4:04 am

Atalante

hi andree

4:04 am

sprite

smarmy?

4:05 am

redturtlehead

sort of low lifey, oily and charming-ish...or attempting to be.

4:05 am

Haz1558

Smarmy - a boot-licking, obsequious, not to be trusted with a child's lollipop because he would sell it to the highest bidder.

4:05 am

sprite

yuck! That sounds worse than evil.

4:05 am

zoozzoom

hahaha..well explained Red.

4:05 am

Andree

and lick it first?

4:05 am

redturtlehead

Haz's definition is more spot on.

4:06 am

Atalante

oh he's foul, and embodies everything smarmy!

4:06 am

Haz1558

He is the ultimate politician, and right now, that's about as big an insult as you can heap on anyone.

4:06 am

sprite

love both defs. Got the picture perfectly clear. Thanks both.

4:06 am

zoozzoom

i hate seeing his face everytime he is on tv..it`s that slight grin he always has..lol

4:06 am

lynxxx

or to use a common babble word - a toady

4:06 am

Atalante

yes. absolutely. perfectly put.

4:06 am

sprite

*agrees with Haz*

4:07 am

redturtlehead

but what or why is toadeater considered a word in babble? I mean frog eater isnt?

4:07 am

Haz1558

Ata, did you vote yesterday?

4:07 am

sprite

I did

4:08 am

lynxxx

Look at the def Red, it explains it well

4:08 am

Haz1558

I did as well - truth to be told, I wanted to see the inside of the new school that was being used as the polling station. I was the only voter there. Tumbleweed might just as well have been drifting down the coridoors.

4:08 am

Atalante

actually, I didn't. for the first time ever. a, because faversham is so far conservative that only the death of 90% of the population would change things, and b) I'm just so sick of politicians. I'd rather show my dislike in numbers of non-show than vote for some silly monster raving loony party

4:08 am

Haz1558

corridors, sorry.

4:09 am

lynxxx

Voting isn't compulsory in UK?

4:09 am

Atalante

nope

4:09 am

zoozzoom

hey whats wrong with the monster raving loony party..there policies are just as good as the ones in forced by the goverment now..hahahaha

4:09 am

sprite

I voted for the Party of the Animals... more as a signal than anything else. Do you know what they used to store the polling forms in? A huge garbage can with a padlock.

4:09 am

Haz1558

The politicians must have got wind of the low turn-out because later in the evening we were treated to vans going up and down, encouraging people to vote.

4:10 am

Andree

we get fined if we dont vote, even in local council elections

4:10 am

sprite

voting is a right, not a compulsion here

4:10 am

Haz1558

It gave me a funny turn to hear Gerry Adams voice encouraging me to vote for Barbara de Brun. I checked to make sure he wasn't in the van.

4:11 am

zoozzoom

was you checking with a clenched fist..lol

4:11 am

Atalante

it's a free choice here. voter turnout is usually around 50 - 70% very ish. I think

4:12 am

Haz1558

Something like that, zoozzoom!

4:12 am

zoozzoom

it is always a high turnout here on the isle of wight..nothing else to do..apart from work..LOL

4:12 am

sprite

well I thought that garbage can was rather symbolic.

4:13 am

forwardbyfaith

te5,16 please?

4:13 am

Atalante

very symbolic!

4:13 am

Haz1558

The electoral officer yesterday (a man so bored that you got the feeling that he wanted anybody to stay and talk to him) reckoned that if 40% turnout was achieved yesterday, it would be a miracle. And NI is traditionally high turnout.

4:13 am

sprite

te + take a leak

4:13 am

Haz1558

te5/16 - old fashioned place for storing tea.

4:13 am

sprite

mine was 12 points, am ever so sorry

4:13 am

Haz1558

te plus a word that rhymes with the opposite of a girl.

4:13 am

forwardbyfaith

tepen

4:14 am

forwardbyfaith

sorry

4:14 am

Haz1558

And then plural for te6/27

4:14 am

Atalante

love the clue though spritey!

4:14 am

sprite

:)

4:16 am

Atalante

oh gosh. mandelson is now in charge of science. god help us all!

4:17 am

Haz1558

Paul Merton and Ian Hislop must be in raptures with all this. At this rate, they may end up running the country...

4:17 am

sprite

we'll see how many will be running from the country then

4:18 am

Atalante

I wish they would!

4:18 am

Atalante

I'm sure you could get much much worse than Ian Hislop in charge

4:19 am

Haz1558

I agree, Ata.

4:19 am

Haz1558

Ian Hislop is a writer, editor of Private Eye and holds the record for being the most sued man in Britain.

4:20 am

Atalante

and is very very clever, and very very astute. He sees things as they are

4:20 am

lynxxx

and obviously says things as they are

4:20 am

Haz1558

Yes, he's sensible in a fun-poking kind of way.

4:20 am

Atalante

very much so LOL

4:21 am

sprite

might clean out things a bit

4:21 am

Atalante

though Private Eye is well known for pushing that tiny bit too far. But someone needs to do that

4:22 am

Haz1558

We have a BBC programme called 'Have I got news for you' when a panel looks at the news for the past week and comments on politicians' activities etc. Paul Merton is a professional comedian who manages to go off on the most wonderful flights of fancy. It's a highlight of the week for me.

4:23 am

sprite

we get that here as well

4:23 am

Haz1558

I don't get out much.

4:23 am

sprite

lol

4:23 am

zoozzoom

yes i love that programme..nothing better than seeing people rip into the idiots lining there ppockets with all our mony

4:23 am

Haz1558

Is it a Dutch version, sprite, or the English one?

4:24 am

Atalante

It's the best programme of the week easily. Followed by QI

4:24 am

sprite

I meant we can see the english one. We have dutch programs like that as well, though not all as good. I think "de wereld draait door" is one of the best here.

4:25 am

Atalante

I wish Boris would stop being London Mayor and host HIGNFY full-time

4:26 am

zoozzoom

boris got a bit wet yesterday in a pond..hahaha

4:26 am

Haz1558

Mind you, I thought Rolf was great. Anybody who can get the panel and audience singing 'Two little boys' has got to be a genius.

4:27 am

herinfernallady

HI

4:27 am

Atalante

LOL yes. Some hosts are just quite brilliant. And poor Boris. That was so funny

4:27 am

I'm telling you, the cleaners and telephonists in no10 are being canvassed for who's going to 'step up to the plate'

4:28 am

herinfernallady

Sorry so super excited I can barely think

4:28 am

sprite

all kinds of words in here, but lukewarm isn't.

4:28 am

Haz1558

Except that they're too clever to fall for it.

4:28 am

zoozzoom

hahahaha

4:28 am

Atalante

gordon's cat too

4:29 am

Haz1558

You don't think Tony Blair will come back?

4:29 am

zoozzoom

why are you so excited herin?

4:29 am

Haz1558

With Cherie and her rictus grin?

4:29 am

Atalante

well Mandelson did ....

4:29 am

sprite

what's up lady?

4:29 am

zoozzoom

or her lovely hair style haz..hahahaha

4:30 am

Haz1558

That's true. Let's face it, NOTHING seems to be too off the wall these days.

4:30 am

herinfernallady

I get to see my half sister tonight

4:30 am

Haz1558

You don't think George Bush will offer to help out?

4:30 am

Atalante

bring back Maggie!

4:30 am

Haz1558

Him being retired and at a loose end and everything.

4:30 am

sprite

that is special, lady. Enjoy it :)

4:31 am

Atalante

yay herin!

4:31 am

Haz1558

Poor Maggie is well and truly past it.

4:31 am

Thanks

4:31 am

zoozzoom

this lady is NOT for turning

4:34 am

zoozzoom

if i remeber correctly ..they kicked her out of the cabinet..looks like brownie is going to go the same way

4:34 am

Haz1558

Yes, I don't see how he can stay on for much longer. In her defence, she had at least managed to win three general elections for the party. Gordon hasn't managed one.

4:35 am

zoozzoom

and he wasn`t voted in by the people either..so in my opinion he should not of got the job

4:36 am

Chris P

unfortunately, I think he's going to hang on to the bitter end and completely ruin the country

4:36 am

Haz1558

It's all part of the system, I suppose, and it has had its precedents.

4:36 am

Atalante

at least he can't hang in for *that* much longer

4:37 am

zoozzoom

hello chris!

4:37 am

Hello Chris.

4:38 am

Chris P

I've had to turn the news off - it's all too depressing

4:38 am

zoozzoom

i`m starting to feel depressed with all this doom & gloom...lol

4:38 am

Haz1558

And then you find us talking about it on babble!

4:39 am

Chris P

that's ok haz - at least most of you are thinking what I'm thinking!

4:39 am

Haz1558

'Doom and Gloom' were my aunts nicknames for her two miserable sisters. 'Oh, here come Doom and Gloom'

4:39 am

zoozzoom

yes who started all this?

4:39 am

Haz1558

I think it was me who started it - all very innocently. Or was it Ata talking about Mandleson?

4:40 am

zoozzoom

were?..are thay still with us or

4:40 am

Atalante

Spangle would indeed be a good minister

4:43 am

zoozzoom

haha..good luck haz....haz for minister :-)

4:43 am

Haz1558

I think I'm no 53,678,423 on the list of potential Prime Ministers.

4:43 am

Chris P

must go too - just had a new garden bench delivered and need to oil it

4:43 am

Haz1558

I think the Queen should just dissolve Parliament and take the whole thing over herself.

4:43 am

zoozzoom

don`t worry haz..brown is going through them fast...soon be your turn..LOL

4:44 am

Haz1558

I'll think of you all when I'm in charge.

5:01 am

Atalante

gulls are evil

5:01 am

Trifioso

good morning, babble friends! Ata, your photos are GORGEOUS!!! I think that "unidentified blue flower thing" is a passion flower.

Trifioso

5:04 am

Atalante

5:05 am

Trifioso

5:05 am

herinfernallady

Well i have to get dressed soon. I under cooked the pasta bleak

herinfernallady

OH and Ata i love the green bug photo too

5:06 am

Atalante

one day I will, I've continually hovered around the vague idea of making money from photography for years

5:06 am

Trifioso

you could definitely sell to a stock photo place - there is good steady money to be had in that

5:07 am

Atalante

that's very true. I should look into that

5:09 am

herinfernallady

Its those pasta tube thingies Trifs its rahter gross. Ata your pics are amazing

1:49 pm

MetFan

I'm a Trekker, and I absolutely think it was the best!!!!

1:50 pm

stidgmere

Stidmama is here and coffee is brewed. Ahhhh. She sends her love to all.

1:50 pm

MetFan

It's more a re-imagining of the whole franchise - with younger actors so they can beat it like a dead horse again!!!

1:51 pm

pugmama763

ah I see

1:51 pm

pugmama763

but guess they did it justice

1:51 pm

MetFan

But the story, and the action, and especially the casting, were SUPER.

1:51 pm

FMitch

I used to watch the original Star Treck episodes with my Dad (showing my age) love them then and all the movies since.

1:52 pm

pugmama763

given the lack of fresh ideas in Hollyweird these days they keep milking the classics

1:52 pm

Atalante

I used to watch TOS before going to Guides each Wednesday :)

1:52 pm

FMitch

Hi stiddy, Im just off for a bit to make some tea. brb

1:52 pm

MetFan

I didn't really get into the whole thing until I lived with Ms Pug in the mid-80s, but got into it BIG time!!!

1:54 pm

pugmama763

didn't realize I was responsible for "Trekkifying "you dear

1:55 pm

MetFan

It's all Ms Pug's fault, really....

1:55 pm

MetFan

It's all Ms Pug's fault, really....

1:55 pm

MetFan

It's all Ms Pug's fault, really....

1:56 pm

MetFan

Sorry for the repeats....Yes, dear, you would go to the RR evenings, and I would stay home, and for lack od anything better, I'd watch the Trek reruns

1:57 pm

pugmama763

funny how things reverse over time, now you are the one with the active night life

1:57 pm

FMitch

*sets tray down with tea, coffee and treats*

1:58 pm

2:00 pm

FMitch

Help yourself Ata:)
That cake in your flickr pics looks so yummy!

2:00 pm

MetFan

2:03 pm

Atalante

why can't I find the right hand Ps?

2:03 pm

pugmama763

does that mean you're nailing down a time frame for visiting???

2:03 pm

FMitch

I'll put some vintage champagne in the penalty box fur us :))

2:04 pm

MetFan

I'm desperately trying....I want to also be home when the landlords are away, so I have a vaca from them, too, but Tom says they're only going on some overniters, not away for a given week or anything like that. So I may come on up around the 6th.

2:05 pm

pugmama763

if you're here for the BIG 50 I will have to spring for Coopers!!!!

2:06 pm

pugmama763

YUM YUM!!

2:06 pm

pugmama763

****wondering if Damien is still there****

2:07 pm

MetFan

You don't have to spring for anything, dear. Just being with someone who cares is enough for me - Last week Repster sent me an email to make sure I put aside Sept 27 for Viv's 70th. Sue swears nothing's been said about my 50th, though.

2:07 pm

FMitch

pugmama763

I AM HONORED LOVE

2:11 pm

EvaNadine

*peers over Ata's shoulder to check her datebook*

2:12 pm

FMitch

pug the po8 does use 2 x 4 letter words from the grid but as the def is non existant not sure I would call it a combo in the usual sense.

2:12 pm

FMitch

Hey Evan!

2:12 pm

pugmama763

ok so think strange combo eh?

2:13 pm

Atalante

2:13 pm

FMitch

hi all

5:17 pm

gapeach

Evening everyone! Hope all are well. It's arainy day here in the northeast. I didn't melt, however, when I was out in it.

5:17 pm

car.eeyore

Hey TO

5:17 pm

car.eeyore

Hey GA

5:18 pm

gapeach

Pardon my neat typing.

5:18 pm

gapeach

Hey there car.eeyore.

5:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

hey peach! i was in the city and got passed and soaked by so many cars...

5:20 pm

gapeach

Hi TO! I bet you did....think it is over most of the northeast. Glad you are all dried and doing the babble thing. I was on for a while earlier....it is kind of hard....maybe it is just me.

5:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

well i had an interesting day. just treated myslef to takeout at a new place and it is inedible.....hate it when that happedn, which is not often

5:22 pm

gapeach

A bummer, surely. Sorry that happened....as if getting soaked wasn't enough? eh?

5:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh well. twas not to be, i remembered too late where I should have gone

5:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

peach, it is only 59 degrees here..high of 61

5:25 pm

torgone

heya TO, peach, et al ..

5:26 pm

gapeach

Hey there, torgone.

5:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

wb, tor!

5:28 pm

hurshy

i got takeout too - the closest pizza place has some things good and some things not, i've kind of learned what to order, and what not to. for instance, if you want fish and chips, you have to order the deep fried filet of sole dinner, NOT the fish and chips. the fish and chips on the menu involves frozen fish filets like gorton's, which are really not worth paying someone to make you.

5:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

hate to experiment, i just was hungry and curious...they aplologized and offer a meal or a refund

5:29 pm

hurshy

well, at least that's something!

5:29 pm

torgone

I'm going to get some pub food in a bit ..

5:29 pm

gapeach

The last I had was shrimp egg fu yung. Enough for two days.

5:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

oooh what do you have in mind? i love to eat

5:30 pm

hurshy

is it odd to you that a man who plays the grandfather of a college student on tv has an 8 year old daughter?

5:31 pm

torgone

Not sure .. maybe corned beef eggrolls ..

5:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

it;s the latest trend, hursh.

5:31 pm

torgone

Sounds like a soap hurshy

5:31 pm

gapeach

Second family, maybe.

5:31 pm

hurshy

i don't like it. the poor kid will lose her dad so young.

5:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

they way things go today, the kid is lucky to have a father, period. it's no longer a necessity, you know

5:36 pm

hurshy

well, i like my dad, so, i'm kind of in favor of them.

5:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

so am i. i truly hate that aspect of modern society.

5:37 pm

June 2nd is my mother's birthday too.

7:54 pm

Pinikula

HBBD, stid!

7:55 pm

stidmama

oh, I hope she had a lovely day, too. I made doughnuts with my mother, and we went shopping, and then Tom cooked supper. It was a fine day for me.

7:55 pm

stidmama

thanks pini!

7:55 pm

Pinikula

Oh, stid...we need to plan a GT for sometime in late July ;)

7:56 pm

stidmama

might be a tough one to pull off pini -- I am in school double-time through the end of July. Hold on... checking calendar.

7:57 pm

Pinikula

I hope we can figure something out, Stid...Ata will be in Astoria again and my GS is due Aug 1. ;-)

7:57 pm

stidmama

last day of first session is July 24. any time after that is good by me.

7:57 pm

stidmama

yes, Atalante is thinking she might drop in to our phage meeting.

7:57 pm

Pinikula

phage?

7:57 pm

stidmama

aha! the irish "little kettle" word...

7:58 pm

bacteriophage. you know the viruses that "eat" bacteria.

7:58 pm

Pinikula

7:58 pm

Pinikula

(although probably good for you)

7:58 pm

Pinikula

lil* ~ you still out there?

7:59 pm

stidmama

no, really nifty. phage are capable of curing infections that more "modern" antibiotics cannot. THere are lots of amputations in our country that would be unnecessary in some former soviet nations.

7:59 pm

stidmama

there are other uses too...

7:59 pm

Pinikula

sorta like using leeches again, eh, stid?

8:00 pm

stidmama

yep. old-fashioned, natural remedies that really work. AND adapt to mutations in the pathogens. Can't ask for more.

8:00 pm

Pinikula

(btw: how many left, stid, or are you done?)

8:01 pm

Pinikula

are you sure you're going into teaching, stid, and not medicine?

Morning/evening all.

9:58 pm

Minveryork

Hi Jacula! Even without my picture, I still manage to clear the chog! I came six minutes ago and everyone left! I swear I don't smell. I just took a shower! LOL!

9:58 pm

Jacula

The only words I stuggled with when I began this grid about 12 hours ago were the 2 az words. Other than that, it was a breeze.

9:58 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Jacula on finishing early! Way to go!

9:59 pm

Jacula

Hi Min. Hang on.. whaddya mean 'even without my picture'? Did I miss your photo?

9:59 pm

Jacula

Min - didn't you really mean'stop boasting, you smug cow?' LOL

9:59 pm

Minveryork

You asked me yesterday when I was going to post it.

10:00 pm

Minveryork

I happen to be struggling w/my last word now Jacula.

10:00 pm

Jacula

I know I did, Min, but did you and did I miss it, or is it going to be posted on the 12th of Never (to quote an Osmonds' song)?

10:01 pm

Jacula

Min - let me know if I can help with your last word.

10:01 pm

Minveryork

I will post it sometime in May......

10:02 pm

Jacula

May 2010?

10:02 pm

Minveryork

May that day NEVER happen!

10:03 pm

Jacula

Min - you can't look more awful than I do in the morning, on a bad day after The Night Before. Be brave! Show us your face.

10:04 pm

Minveryork

Since I have lots of time to get my last word,I am off to play Pinball & some other games. Be back later on.

10:04 pm

Jacula

I sincerely hope May 2010 comes around for me,; I've got stuff n the garden I want to see at the very least!

10:05 pm

Jacula

Okay, Min. see you again.

10:05 pm

Jacula

I guess it's time for me to play a song now... what songs do I know about being all alone? Hmmm....

You aren't really alone Jac. How are things with your family today?

10:10 pm

Jacula

Hi Bug - a bit jagged today.

10:11 pm

Bugsaw

Some days are like that when you have a big change in family dynamics like you have. It takes a while for everyone to find where they belong and that they are still loved.

10:12 pm

Jacula

Step has been left to her own devices for too long and behaves inapropriately for her 14 years, I think. After a week with us and at her new school, she now feels at home enough to start doing (what I hope is) her learned behavour from her Mum, rather than some genetic thing.

10:13 pm

Bugsaw

We call that first week the "honeymoon period"

10:13 pm

Bugsaw

My guess is it is learned behaviour and that it is not comfortable for her Mum to give her up.

10:14 pm

Jacula

The family dynamics aren't in question right now, since my son's away in Turkey with his g/f and her family and my daughter's not living here anymore, but visits frequently. However, I saw the couples dynamic between me and Other Half shift almost on the first day.

10:15 pm

Bugsaw

To me, couples are still family! (Please know I am smiling)

10:16 pm

evanonut

Jac!!!

10:16 pm

Jacula

Suddenly, I'm the Big Boss and the Lawmaker again. That's going to have to change. I can't believe the number of adults who are taller than this almost 6' 14-yr-old girl who give in to her. I'm only 5' 1 and a half inches tall, and I won't stand ANY nonsense.

10:18 pm

Jacula

Hi Nut! Did you see my Squi_Rell pics in my blog?

10:19 pm

Bugsaw

As the step-parent, your husband should not be putting you in that role. He needs to be the one who makes the rules and metes out consequences. If you do it, even if you are right and would do the very same thing he would, you will find yourself up against Steph and both of her natural parents. It is the reason why policemen hate doing to domestic calls -- all the fighting family turn against the third man in.

10:19 pm

evanonut

i think i did...maybe..i don't really remember

10:19 pm

Bugsaw

I wish you all well and will continue to remember you all.

10:19 pm

evanonut

jader was saying how you wanted more babblecasts, so i wanted to make sure you were told about the new show

10:20 pm

Jacula

Yes, Bug, couples are family, but we have such a wide family, what with all the families being brought together, me and him, his family and his ex's family, my ex and his family, my immediate family, his immediate family and so on. If you're all close, like we are, it's a huge ripple in the lake.

10:22 pm

Jacula

Nut - what new show? And, if you've forgotten what I wrote in my blog only yesterday about the squirrel, you're obvously not paying proper attention. Write out 30 times, 'I must pay more attention.'

10:22 pm

Oop's, wrong aposrophe. I meant a singel princess.

10:27 pm

stidmama

I got it though -- reading brain waves not letters.

10:28 pm

Jacula

Nut - so, what happened to the chat and the short stories etc?

10:28 pm

stidmama

how about the OD?

10:28 pm

evanonut

me and jade tired of editing ourselves

10:28 pm

Jacula

Stid - if you make a habit of reading my brainwaves you'll end up in a home for the bewildered.

10:29 pm

evanonut

he he he....well....we should all use our strengths. even if your strength is a truckers mouth.

10:29 pm

10:30 pm

Jacula

It's still a hard rain here. Hopefully, it will soften up the border I've been digging out if it dries up again after the weekend.

haven't been on facebook much in weeks, nut.

10:33 pm

Jacula

Nut, what do you mean about my strength being a truckre's mouth? I rarely swear. If you meant something more basic, NO CHANCE! Due to all the upset and the redunndancy stuff and his exams, not to mention not getting home from work until 2am yesterday due to a chemical spill he had to contain, he's come out with 3 cold sores around his mouth.

10:34 pm

evanonut

actually, i was referring to my own truckers mouth. i swear like a trucker.
