4:20 am

jacq

hello MrP, feeling better today?

4:21 am

mrpresident

hey jacq :) slept all day... having weirdo dreams too!

4:21 am

mrpresident

how are you?

4:23 am

jacq

im great thanks, house is empty for the first time in a week lol

4:23 am

jacq

and i think i'm clearing off to my mums this weekend for more peace

4:24 am

mrpresident

that is perfect!

4:24 am

jacq

did you go to hospital the other day? i was worried about you

4:24 am

jacq

mum and dad (step dad actually, but better father than the real one) have gone to dunoon for the weekend and gave me a key

4:25 am

mrpresident

no jacq, I took the meds that docs have given me in case of such problems... and slept forever!

4:25 am

mrpresident

is good that you get time out!

4:25 am

jacq

so long as you're better but the dreams probably mean your body was fighting hard, this is good

4:26 am

mrpresident

dreams are so strange cause they are like real!!

4:27 am

jacq

the girls used to say they had strange dreams when they were ill

4:27 am

jacq

and they cou;d sleep fr scotland too

4:28 am

mrpresident

a key to mum and dad's is always comforting!

4:28 am

jacq

it is, and it will give me a break from the fighting here

4:29 am

mrpresident

fighting... ugh! it zaps the energy out of you

4:30 am

jacq

i know, i just wish they would grow up, i keep telling them the baby can hear every word they yell at each other and one day she will use those names and that will hurt them

4:30 am

4:32 am

4:32 am

mrpresident

4:32 am

4:33 am

mrpresident

I had another allergic reaction andree... couldn't breathe

4:33 am

jacq

thank you fuquay and andree

4:33 am

galeystarr

Thank you all :)

4:34 am

mrpresident

I was babbling away and eating left over thai... strange thing is, I had eaten it the day before... and BANG... can't breathe.

4:34 am

jacq

wow half way already

4:34 am

Andree

how awful mrp, to what?

4:34 am

jacq

could it be the msg MrP?

4:34 am

mrpresident

it was green curry chicken

4:35 am

Andree

green chicken curry , my favourite

4:35 am

mrpresident

i have had reactions to various foods... vanilla slice, thai... makes little sense

4:36 am

mrpresident

mine too andree!

4:36 am

jacq

it used to drive me nuts trying to find the triggers, made it worse when the doc who said keep detailed diaries didn't even look at them

4:37 am

mrpresident

the time before that, it was a fish cake... msg could be a factor, but have been eating that since forever!

4:37 am

Andree

i must email you the knitting pattern for the rug for the kids

4:37 am

jacq

doesn't matter MrP, you can becaome allergic to anything at any point in your life

4:38 am

mrpresident

thanks andree... will start on it once I get the crochet rug together!

4:38 am

Andree

very few reputable places use msg anymore, i am allergic to that too

4:38 am

mrpresident

too right jacq, if only I was allergic to white wine! I would be a healthy girl!

4:38 am

jacq

lol MrP

4:39 am

Andree

no mrp like me you just change to red,lol

4:39 am

jacq

my mum developed a prawn allergy, she loves prawns, so she takes two anti-histamines before the meal (silly woman)

4:39 am

mrpresident

I wonder if the place that serves up the thai uses it, cause I had a reaction to fishcakes from there too

4:39 am

jacq

lol andree

4:39 am

jacq

i like your thinking

4:39 am

mrpresident

too right andree!! smart woman!!

4:39 am

jacq

you can call and ask, they have to tell you

4:40 am

Andree

call them up and ask, they should not use it, its on record the number of asthmatics that have died after a chinese meal

4:40 am

mrpresident

jacq, you think they speak or understand english? hahaha! can barely give them the order that they understand it... that is how 'authentic' it is... tastes fantastic!

4:41 am

jacq

ahhhhhh

4:41 am

jacq

then find someone who can translate MrP, this is important

4:41 am

mrpresident

they have to advertise if they use it right?? they are allowed to use it but have to say if they do?

4:41 am

jacq

i think so, but it's different here

4:42 am

jacq

but then again.... there was a chinese restaurant in lossiemouth that was found to be using seagull instead of chicken LOL

4:42 am

jacq

strangely enough i never eat there, or ate there

4:42 am

mrpresident

andree, will check out if they advertise it... I see bags of the stuff being delivered to one chinese restaurant up here

4:43 am

mrpresident

seagull?? far out!! mind you, I have seen some seagulls that are the size of chickens!

4:43 am

jacq

they are all big here lol, but apart from the fact that they are like pigeons now and eat rubbish, they are also protected

4:45 am

mrpresident

talking of chicken... dinner is served!! see you all soon

4:45 am

Andree

bye mrp

4:45 am

jacq

bye MrP, take care please

4:46 am

Andree

not green chicken curry i hope

4:46 am

jacq

lol, probably not

4:46 am

jacq

mrpresident

5:42 am

jacq

ouchies

5:42 am

mrpresident

tomorrow is the cleaning day. Kids get bribed with money to do two of the bathrooms, two bedrooms and the family room. Lickety and I do the rest.
Oh, and the mountainous pile of washing to fold... hell

5:43 am

jacq

oh dear, you need a maid

5:43 am

jacq

i am a firm believer in kids earning pocketmoney

5:43 am

mrpresident

she is on holiday for 3 weeks!! ((tears welling in eyes))

5:43 am

jacq

it teaches them the value of money and shows that work has a reward

5:43 am

mrpresident

they have to earn it all!!

5:44 am

jacq

as they should

5:44 am

jacq

i had to earn mine and it did me no harm whatsoever, i also kept my room much tidier

5:44 am

mrpresident

and if they mess up... all their pocket money goes to the maid!!

5:44 am

jacq

lol

5:45 am

mrpresident

They put a whole months worth of their money to our maid cause she spent 6 hours on their crappola!

5:45 am

jacq

sounds like you have the balance just right

5:45 am

jacq

i have one c to get and it's bugging me

5:45 am

jacq

might have to list just to get it

5:46 am

mrpresident

and when Luke broke something out of anger... 3 weeks worth back to replacing it.

5:46 am

mrpresident

which c??

5:47 am

mrpresident

it must be the co6 24

5:47 am

jacq

consequences, always a good lesson, my exes daughter had none, if she broke something it was replaced, i told him he was rewarding negative behaviour but he said it was easier

5:47 am

jacq

16 and autistic and spoiled, wasn't easy

6:19 am

suefrad625

I do wish mine were closer so that the kids could see them more often

6:20 am

jacq

whenever any of my cousins visits we all have a huge family meal here because they need to know who their family are, and everybody comes

6:20 am

jacq

my girls used to hate it when they were younger but now they love it

6:21 am

suefrad625

I love that Jac, you are amazing for doing that

6:21 am

6:54 am

Dorens

hah! honestly owl i have absolutely no idea.. so just bring yourself. I will figure out something. Since we're going to be out from 12 - 4 and I do have work on friday, I'm not likely to be cooking up a storm. But I can promise you we will eat well and have good wine.

6:55 am

Scrabbler

I will bring something. No alcohol for me.

6:55 am

Dorens

do you think so scrabb? it is always funny to meet folks you've been chatting with, but owl and une and I met and they weren't that different from what you might imagine.

6:56 am

Scrabbler

Ice water for me, salad (vegetarian), chocolate, friends + Scrabble. Also, we must chat on Babble together.

Dorens

72 Temple Owl

Scrabbler

6:59 am

Dorens

yes i do scrab. if i have time saturday morning maybe i'll make my sister's famous curried butternut squash soup (do you like curry flavors Scrab? i doubt that owl does)

Scrabbler

There are several repeats from yest

7:00 am

Dorens

yes owl, and i doubt that it is merely coincidence. well ladies.. 8:00 is my latest time to leave for work and get there comfortably on time, so I am out!

Good morning, Babblers. I think I'm going to barf at hearing the news that Obama won a Nobel Prize.

Hard to believe they could trump the stupidity of giving one to Al Gore. I'm embarassed to be an American today.

7:42 am

Wolvie

again, not me

7:43 am

jmcnrick

ty wolvie for the hy! my monkeys must be broken this morning

7:44 am

Wolvie

mine were too jmc. :-) jac helped me out

7:44 am

jmcnrick

Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize???

7:44 am

Wolvie

yes - they were not expecting it at all. Perhaps early, but cool.

7:44 am

jmcnrick

like Obama a lot but have no clue why he would deserve it

7:44 am

periwinkle

et6 pls

7:44 am

periwinkle

et6 pls

7:45 am

Wolvie

I don't have that one yet peri, sorry

7:45 am

jmcnrick

me either still working on my first cup of coffee

7:46 am

Wolvie

me either really - they said he has changed the international debates already - we will see. Still, I like Obama, so I am happy for him - and us.

7:46 am

jmcnrick

okay what is true is that this administration sees diplomacy as a viable option rather than just invasion

7:47 am

Wolvie

did jac leave? chat to jac - et clue? (et phone home jac!!)

7:47 am

Wolvie

that seemed to be the thrust of the award jmc

7:47 am

jmcnrick

but I am not sure that bring the US back to the modern world is deserving of the peace prize

7:47 am

jmcnrick

jac went to scrub floors

7:47 am

jmcnrick

maybe there should be a peace prize equivalent to the darwin awards

7:47 am

Judi

Good intentions alone should not be enough to EARN a Nobel Peace Price. Obama has done NOTHING to deserve this.

7:48 am

Wolvie

I hear you. As i said - i think it may be premature, but - it is done

7:48 am

Wolvie

No reason to get panties in a twist over it tho - accept it, use it, and move on. :-)

7:49 am

jmcnrick

*checks panties* no they are okay

7:49 am

JMHBEAN

Judi ..Not American ...but I do live there part of the year and as with the English we must never be embarassed to be english because of our politicians!! We would all end up being mortified the whole time!!

7:49 am

Wolvie

obviously, I am not going to agree with you guys - I tend to be mellow - jmc - that was more for judi and the caps. :-)

7:49 am

jmcnrick

lol aint that the truth jmh!

7:49 am

Judi

Okay. End of political discussion.

7:50 am

jmcnrick

mellow is not my strong point! lol but the chog definitely helps

7:50 am

Wolvie

i mean, if we want to start with the embarassment stuff, I have a whole list of folks who qualify way more than Obama. :-)

12:27 pm

Atalante

12:28 pm

Atalante

which is REALLY lucky cos I feel like crap today! temperature, shivery ...

12:28 pm

Atalante

I'm shoving paracetamol down my throat madly

12:28 pm

FMitch

Oh so sorry to hear that! ((()))

12:29 pm

Atalante

Hobbit's acted as a hot water bottle against my back all day!

12:29 pm

FMitch

mmm that will have been lovely :)

12:29 pm

Atalante

but on Sunday, we have to get to the airfield at 8:15, and have a how-to-do session, then could be at any point during the day. eeeep!

12:29 pm

MaMaWA

12:34 pm

dcseain

The Nobel Peace Prize Announcement has the Conservatives, er, Neo-Conservatives here in a tizzy. LOL Hi, Ata and FM

12:35 pm

FMitch

Hi/bye dc

12:35 pm

dcseain

be well, FMitch :)

12:35 pm

Atalante

hi dc! I'm a bit confused as to what actual peace he's been creating

12:36 pm

dcseain

http://tinyurl.com/ylq9pm8 explains it

12:36 pm

dcseain

but i agree with you

12:38 pm

Atalante

hmmm, yes. I agree with that. It's a bit - I just wish they'd waited until he'd done something.

12:38 pm

dcseain

agreed

12:39 pm

dcseain

Jimmy Carter deserved his, for example.

12:39 pm

Atalante

and what prize can he get now when he *does* do something!

12:39 pm

Atalante

for I have no doubt that in 20 years, he'll truly deserve it

12:40 pm

dcseain

yes. This is the committee exerting, or trying to exert, political influence it seems

12:40 pm

Atalante

which is utterly wrong, Nobel prizes should be above politics

12:41 pm

dcseain

agreed

12:43 pm

jmcnrick

I think they are just grateful he is not Bush

12:43 pm

dcseain

as are many of is, jmc

12:43 pm

Atalante

yes!

12:43 pm

jmcnrick

he gave a lovely response to the announcement

12:43 pm

dcseain

er, are

12:43 pm

Atalante

but would they have given it to McCain?

12:44 pm

jmcnrick

said that it was not his but all the leaders in the US

12:44 pm

jmcnrick

I is grateful

12:45 pm

jmcnrick

hmmm not sure if mccain was planning on not being more Bush than Bush

12:45 pm

Atalante

maybe they were a bit stuck for ideas

12:45 pm

jmcnrick

help with the I on the top row pls

12:46 pm

dcseain

If McCain's campaigning was indicative of his intent to govern, i think not.

12:46 pm

dcseain

i4 x2

12:46 pm

dcseain

ni5

12:47 pm

jmcnrick

have the ni but thanks

12:47 pm

dcseain

I4 - like on a computer or in an Orthodox church

12:47 pm

dcseain

I4 - unit of measure

12:48 pm

jmcnrick

duh! I quite looking in the measurement direction when it wasn't an itch!

12:48 pm

jmcnrick

ty got them both now

12:48 pm

dcseain

me too, and i got i from a clue too

12:49 pm

jmcnrick

thanks for the reassurance that I am not totally dumb!

12:49 pm

dcseain

not at all. All our brains get stuck in not-helpful patterns sometimes

12:50 pm

jmcnrick

so is your ic4 a grid clue?

12:50 pm

dcseain

no, it's just pretty

12:50 pm

Atalante

very pretty!

12:50 pm

jmcnrick

and did monkey tell you about my suggestion of Mama Ayesha's?

12:51 pm

dcseain

12:51 pm

jmcnrick

12:51 pm

dcseain

12:51 pm

jmcnrick

oh okay -- have you ever been there?

12:52 pm

dcseain

i've not, but i eat that cuisine a lot, and looked over the menu

12:53 pm

jmcnrick

nbt finally

12:53 pm

Atalante

what cuisine is that? it sounds middle eastern?

12:53 pm

jmcnrick

yes, lebonese

12:53 pm

Atalante

how yummy!

12:53 pm

dcseain

go, jmc!

12:54 pm

jmcnrick

I went there when I first came to DC and it was a divey kinda place. Mama Ayesha sat at the bar and smoke cigarettes and if you were lucky come over and tell you what to order

12:55 pm

jmcnrick

when she died a nephew took it over and remodeled it and it is really pretty now

12:55 pm

dcseain

how cool is that, jmc :) We're meeting monkey at a little vietnamese place near here next saturday.

jmcnrick

hi ursh the clue is not amateur+ french word for dog misspelled

1:00 pm

jmcnrick

even though i can type the clue I have yet to find the word!

1:00 pm

dcseain

huh. my uncle just friended me on facebook. I didn't know his last name. :">

1:01 pm

Vicuna

lol, jmc! try non amateur + bottom of face with an extra vowel inserted

Atalante

I *will* be better by Sunday!!!

1:02 pm

Soodle

I can just hear your teeth gritting Ata!!

1:02 pm

Vicuna

There was a strong presumption, jmc! =)

1:03 pm

dcseain

PR6.21, pls?

1:03 pm

Vicuna

pr6/21 - South African flower, non-amateur British drink

1:04 pm

Atalante

brits take *** drinking very non-amateurly

1:04 pm

Vicuna

So maybe just "British drink" would be a sufficient clue? lol

1:05 pm

dcseain

thanks :)

1:05 pm

Soodle

Lovely clue, Vic!

1:05 pm

Atalante

my geeky palaeo phantom today is procynodont

1:10 pm

Vicuna

I don't think it would have been helpful to me had Babble been invented while I was at college.

1:10 pm

jaianniah

Oh. No credit given for babble, then? LOL!

1:10 pm

Atalante

ok Brit confusion - explain class rings

1:10 pm

Joanne123

i gained ten pounds ...ty very much babble

1:11 pm

dcseain

in HS and Uni here, each graduating class gets a ring designed, and one can buy one for one's year

1:11 pm

jmcnrick

you get a ring with the year you graduate etched in it

1:11 pm

jaianniah

A class ring is a ring that hass your college's name, your major, year of Graduation, etc. with your picks of stones and materials...mine is gorgeous

1:11 pm

dcseain

there are core elements in the ring for each school, though each classes is usually different in some way.

1:11 pm

Atalante

oh cool!

1:11 pm

jmcnrick

most of them have stones

1:11 pm

Atalante

why rings? whats the historic basis?

1:11 pm

jmcnrick

my college did not have stones -- cigar band rings

1:11 pm

MadMunky100

hey

1:12 pm

jmcnrick

hi mad

1:12 pm

jmcnrick

well we don't have school ties

1:12 pm

Vicuna

The historic basis is probably that some jewelry company thought they could make the most money that way! lol

1:12 pm

MadMunky100

long time no see atlante

1:12 pm

dcseain

dates to 1835 at West Point, Ata

1:12 pm

jmcnrick

so in Texas, for example my school ring is a subtle way let people know I went to an elite school

1:13 pm

dcseain

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_rin
g apparently it's a US thing

1:13 pm

Atalante

I guess we have scarves!

1:13 pm

Vicuna

I have a sweatshirt from my college. =P

1:13 pm

Atalante

me too!

1:13 pm

jmcnrick

I know I have read in british novels the significance of school ties

1:14 pm

dcseain

fe5.18, pls?

1:15 pm

ursh

in SA kids wear uniforms until 18 and university or college so "old school tie" quite significant later on in their lives

1:16 pm

Anyway, I love my babble people- you are so supportive and quite a nice bunch! I love the fact that we are all from around the world. I have been toying with changing my flag to Norway as I have family in Norway and am Norwegian- but I am an American first- I wish we could display two flags!

1:19 pm

jmcnrick

I am at work and tend to wander off to do things

1:20 pm

jmcnrick

I really liked that on Obama's inaugural day so many babblers changed their flag to U.S. it was very sweet

1:20 pm

jaianniah

Yes, so sweet!

1:20 pm

jmcnrick

3:11 pm

Soodle

I work with the Coroners Agency in Ireland. Today I attended my first post-mortem. It was being done on the body of a homeless lady. I am still quite freaked by the whole affair!

3:12 pm

Atalante

3:13 pm

Atalante

yep. smoked wombat, ostrich, greenland shark, all chicken flavour

3:13 pm

Wolvie

I don't know how you could be. That would take practice

3:13 pm

o-o

thanks, Wolvie, need to make sure the greenest way to clean the terminals is employed

3:13 pm

Wolvie

rofl - hear ya, ata

3:14 pm

Soodle

Oh, Ata, I am fine, but, it sort of reduces everything to a base line.

3:14 pm

Wolvie

that's what i suspected BR - being that you are a flat lander and all.. ;-)

3:14 pm

o-o

Ata, does wombat smokes come with filters?

3:14 pm

Atalante

Scrabs, your probably used to what I observed today. But, as a lay-person, I'm still a bit rattled!! More vod-kay, please. Colour not relevant!

3:18 pm

jmcnrick

it's better to be sober enough to pull the cord

3:18 pm

Scrabbler

New job is wonderful, still surreal that I am with nice, respectful, non-workaholic, smart, competent, thoughtful people in the office--such a contrast to former job

3:18 pm

Wolvie

saw that fb post - way cool

3:18 pm

Wolvie

true jmc

3:18 pm

jmcnrick

it is odd to see people open

3:18 pm

Wolvie

scrabbler, you have come thru the fire. Earned this indeed. :-)

3:19 pm

Wolvie

jmc - I wonder about you. lol

3:19 pm

jmcnrick

wtg scrabs! it gives us all hope

3:19 pm

jmcnrick

what? what do you wonder?

3:19 pm

Scrabbler

I understand, Soodle--and being with a dead person--a body--is spooky---where the hell is the person? They were alive and now they're dead? So where are they now? where is the soul, the spirit? When did the soul depart the body? Are they watching now? What happens when we die?.....

3:20 pm

Wolvie

seeing people open - did you go back in the chog for that ( I hope) because right after the cord pull....

3:20 pm

Wolvie

And to be with a person when they die/cross over/continue on...is unsettling too.

3:21 pm

3:21 pm

jmcnrick

hang in there tllc!

3:21 pm

Soodle

OH Scrabbler. yes. I seriously thought I was hardened enough to take it, but, it knocked the stuffing out of me. To see what was a living, breathing human LITERALLY laid bare was just more than I could cope with

3:21 pm

TLLC

jmcnrick

hi katie

3:21 pm

Wolvie

3:22 pm

Scrabbler

Soodle, to see the hands and to think what those hands accmplished in life, the face, etc.

3:22 pm

jmcnrick

3:22 pm

jmcnrick

3:22 pm

Soodle

No. It was the application of the brain-saw. I should have left at that stage.

3:22 pm

3:32 pm

Atalante

toffee nosed is generally "posh", I think

3:32 pm

KatieMcG

toffee nosed is just thinking you are superior, smug is when you know you are superior

3:33 pm

3:36 pm

Wolvie

hi nancy

3:36 pm

KatieMcG

it's no good i'm going to have to go to the shopping channels there is so little on tv

3:37 pm

posh in the US relates to money, posh in the UK relates to social class

3:37 pm

Soodle

Co 6/24. Think of wine from france...**te de Rhone plus first and last vowel

3:37 pm

Atalante

The much-repeated tale is that 'Posh' derives from the 'port out, starboard home' legend supposedly printed on tickets of passengers on P&O (Peninsula and Orient) passenger vessels that travelled between UK and India in the days of the Raj. But it's meant to be more of an urban legend than truth

3:41 pm

inge

What a neat way for the station to keep everyone listening

7:38 pm

stidmama

he seems to be doing okay. He is struggling to learn the vocabulary, but that is normal for him, and for people at his stage. He does actually spend time studying, which is nice.

7:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

they do something similar every year. essentail albums. favrotie meoments in song

7:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

the range of songs was astounding. classical, jazz, classic rock, new wave

stidmama

how about you, inge? are you walking any better?

7:40 pm

inge

and learn the der,die,das with each noun!!! Saves oodles of heartache later

7:40 pm

Jacula

The thing I've found with learning languages is that you're taught all the 'correct' forms and just as you think you're getting hold of it you're told, 'But people don't actually say it like that' and then you're off into the vernacular.

7:40 pm

stidmama

thank you for that, he says, "yes ma'am."

7:40 pm

featherbee

evening. hmm, small one.

7:40 pm

i.e. every German can speak Standard German, if you ask him to

8:22 pm

Jacula

mkg - what was your last word? stat clue only! LOL

8:22 pm

Dorens

26 is the number of letters in the alphabet, as well as bones in the feet (the latter a fact of which i am presently acutely aware)

8:22 pm

jmcnrick

I knew about the alphabet but saw no connection with the 61 so didn't mention it

8:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok here is your context. my team won 26 this season and lost 61. :P

8:23 pm

lbdawger

for some, monday is a holiday

8:23 pm

jmcnrick

:-P

8:23 pm

Dorens

that's right jac, well you might hide! (however i find most sports boring... at one point an ardent yankee fan, now i barely recognize their names... but mariano and jeter are known to me

8:23 pm

jmcnrick

8:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:24 pm

lbdawger

8:24 pm

Jacula

Dorens, I'm only hiding 'cos I've heard The Bronx is a tough area and if you cut your teeth there I'm certainly not about to cross you! LOL

Jacula

Shame about the missed day out, Dorens.

8:25 pm

Dorens

my parents had the foresight to move when i was three months old. to "joisey" But I did go back there for college... in my day there was an NYU campus in the bronx.. beautiful campus too.... then I transferred to Temple so I could search for 72 Temple Owl

8:30 pm

jesdraggon

8:30 pm

Minveryork

Dorens

8:30 pm

jmcnrick

8:31 pm

jmcnrick

8:31 pm

jesdraggon

8:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:32 pm

jmcnrick

Gosh, the explaining of TO's pun so that in the end it wasn't funny put me in mind of a blonde we used tohave in our office. She never 'got' jokes, especially dirty ones. By the time you'd taken them apart and explained them, they weren't funny any more.

9:06 pm

Jacula

stid - I read a funny thing about high school last week in a short story written by a retired teacher. She thought she saw a wall frieze made up of the school's youngest intake but, in reality, it WAS the school's youngest intake squashing themselves up against the corridor wall in order not to be squashed by the Charge of Year 7 (5th formers) to their next lesson.

9:06 pm

jmcnrick

(early 70s)

9:07 pm

The Beatles, had they been given the chance to be heard and not hystrically screamed at, were one of the most innovative bands of all time. They stopped playing live for the simple reason that they put so much into the music making and it couldn't be heard over the screaming.

Father Christmas/Santa Claus becomes less and less 'pc' as time goes on. The song I just posted says 'the bearded weirdie's just arrived''. On the one hand we tell our kids not to trust strangers, but, on one night a year they're not supposed to scream like hell if some old bloke in weird clothes with a long white beard suddenly appears in their room and startss creeping around.

Problem with that, crossy, is that unless it's naturally oily, it will eventually break and go brittle and you'll go bald.
