Douglas

"And if you call for a song of the sea,
We'll heel the capstan round!
With a yo-heave-ho, for the wind is free,
Her anchor's at5 and the helm's alee
Hurrah for the homeward bound!"

2:02 am

Douglas

I've seen alee in many grids, but never at5. Gilbert and Sullivan wrote it, though

jillibus

Hi ruby (and hia again all)

2:10 am

jillibus

Love that verse, doug, and G&S of course :)

2:10 am

Douglas

It has been my pleasure to participate in 4 G&S productions, although they were about 25 years ago

rubyfoo

hello jilli, are you up v early? or about to go to sleep?

2:11 am

jillibus

Well, 11 now.

2:11 am

rubyfoo

9AM here and still not dressed! Yesterday was a big gardening day and today, too, if I'm not too sore!

2:12 am

jillibus

blue-eyed blonde -- so appropriate for a little Japanese girl in the Mikado!

2:12 am

rubyfoo

FMitch

2:25 am

herinfernallady

I had to have a look at this video of little kitties waiting for food

2:27 am

Douglas

Thought for a second that a dominating Czech goalkeeper was in the grid, but his name has an s

2:27 am

jillibus

like "a diacritical mark (?) placed over a letter in some languages, as Czech and Lithuanian, and in some systems of phonetic transcription, esp. to indicate that a sound is palatalized.
like "a diacritical mark (?) placed over a letter in some languages, as Czech and Lithuanian, and in some systems of phonetic transcription, esp. to indicate that a sound is palatalized.
yes, unusual, like "a diacritical mark placed over a letter in some languages, as Czech and Lithuanian, and in some systems of phonetic transcription, esp. to indicate that a sound is palatalized."

4:42 am

Atalante

hi hi!

4:42 am

Jayk

it certainly is! spent some time yesterday on vicious weeds

4:43 am

Jayk

I remember in my youth being able to do all that for hours on end. No more!

4:45 am

rubyfoo

yesterday I put in my "ground" geraniums and did all the garden center shopping. Today I planted the big geraniums in separate pots and put impariens in the window boxes. Oh, and also did the bronze planter (old, Japanese) for the deck with different purple whings plus various herbs for the kitchen

FMitch

4:56 am

Trifioso

FMitch for the win!!!

4:56 am

Atalante

D thought Uhura was a boy, and was wondering if he and Spock had a big gay relationship

4:56 am

FMitch

:)

4:57 am

Haz1558

But you don't have enough u letters in the grid. Can we consult the referee?

4:57 am

FMitch

Ha iz so not a trekkie.

4:57 am

Trifioso

wait, maybe it's uhura?

4:57 am

harpjane

uhura was a girl?

4:57 am

Atalante

I'm right *smug*

4:57 am

FMitch

D is a twit as we all know!

4:58 am

Atalante

he was so funny last night

4:58 am

Trifioso

yes, it is uhura....played by nichelle nichols, and definitely a woman, yes

4:58 am

FMitch

Hello Haz and Trif btw :)

4:58 am

Haz1558

Do I get no marks for being approximately right?

4:59 am

Trifioso

howdy. happy to see you, but I really wish I was sleeping.

4:59 am

Haz1558

No credit for remembering something from 40 years ago?

4:59 am

Trifioso

you get approximate marks, haz!

4:59 am

Atalante

he came up and looked at the draft pic I'm painting. Its a mess, and I'm just using it to check colours and stuff. D: that;s coming on well *in school master voice to backward student*. me: mmm. D: that looks like a map in the middle. me: *thinks* well, thats cos it's a map. D: and standing stones! well done! are they standing stones? me: *not answering*

4:59 am

harpjane

4:59 am

Atalante

you both get 1/2 marks

4:59 am

Haz1558

Good. I'll take any approximate marks.

4:59 am

rubyfoo

hello again, ordering water lilies for my husband's fishpond!

5:00 am

harpjane

i remember something from 40 years ago, the very first Earth Day I was cleaning up the Missoula County Fairgrounds as a high school student

5:00 am

harpjane

yesterday i was there for a special olympics event, it still looks dirty to me....

5:01 am

Trifioso

harpjane, are you up early, or up late?

5:02 am

rubyfoo

I think the garden will be terrific in about two weeks and then a month. When is the English babble contingent coming to visit? Or is there a way I can put an album in my profile?

5:02 am

harpjane

insomnia trif, hopefully up in the middle and back to bed after some tea

5:02 am

harpjane

i think you can link to fliker ruby

5:03 am

Trifioso

me too. sigh. thinking of ditching work today. have never called in sick.

5:03 am

rubyfoo

aaah, good idea, jane

5:03 am

FMitch

and I must go back to lurk mode, babble does suck one in when you should be doing other things :)

5:04 am

rubyfoo

lunch now, see you later. Only 38 words :(

5:07 am

Haz1558

I wonder if ruby's found the French notebook yet, ca6.

5:08 am

Atalante

good question

5:08 am

Haz1558

And one that should rightly have a ? at the end of the sentence.

5:09 am

Haz1558

Here's another question. I saw an advertisement for a job in the local college. It's for an Economic Engagement Officer. What would he/she do, do you suppose? No clue given in the ad.

5:10 am

Atalante

sales. phone people and ask them for funding.

5:10 am

Haz1558

So, nothing to do with offering cut price jewellery?

5:11 am

Atalante

maybe maybe ...

5:12 am

Haz1558

It just frustrates me that they can't give a title that (a) doesn't include the term 'officer' (b) manages to convey an idea of what the job might entail.

5:13 am

Atalante

ridiculous, isn't it!

5:14 am

Haz1558

I should go on Grumpy Old Women.

5:15 am

Lord Jono

I have a silly question

5:15 am

Lord Jono

is there a way to rotate the babble board?

5:15 am

Haz1558

Other than standing on your head, no.

5:15 am

Atalante

nope

5:15 am

harpjane

maybe it's one of those nice nigerian companies that put of funds in US banks and then looks for helpful Americans to send it back to them?

5:17 am

Jayk

i bet it means fundraising

5:18 am

Atalante

I think so too Jay

5:18 am

Haz1558

They're looking for two of them. 'If you would like to be part of an organisation that offers challenging (aarrrrgh!) and interesting work, the following opportunities may be for you'

5:19 am

Jayk

speaking of which, great funny book called "I do not come to you by chance" about the nigerian letters

5:19 am

Haz1558

'The essential and desirable criteria for the above posts are available in the application pack'.

5:19 am

Atalante

not the C word!

5:20 am

harpjane

sorry, i just looked it up, it seems to be a term used in diplomacy, sort of an economic carrot instead of stick.

5:20 am

Haz1558

'The above posts are deemed to be chldcare positions'. Work that one out.

5:20 am

Haz1558

I'm going to go onto the website to see if they say anything that might shed light on it.

5:24 am

Haz1558

The applicants are supposed to have 2 years relevant experience of engaging with employers in relation to economic engagement or workforce development.'

5:24 am

Haz1558

I'm still none the wiser.

5:25 am

Haz1558

Oh and experience in preparing funding applications to support economic development activities. So, it looks like they're supposed to raise funds. You get the prize, Ata.

5:26 am

Jayk

I believe I get the prize, Haz!

5:27 am

Haz1558

You're right, Jayk. Ata only agreed with you.

5:27 am

Atalante

how silly! why not just say that!

5:27 am

Jayk

SO important to sort out the winners!

5:28 am

Haz1558

Absolutely. No point in Ata being smug for no reason.

5:28 am

harpjane

i don't think so, it's not fund raising, it's job development or "business incubator" activities

5:28 am

harpjane

(besides, some of think jayk and ata are wrong wrong wrong!)

5:29 am

Jayk

in fairness, it seems to be both

5:29 am

Haz1558

I think it's to do with getting funds/sponsorship from employers to enable students to undertake courses.

5:29 am

Haz1558

Any other theories out there?

5:29 am

Atalante

my theory is that Im right

5:29 am

harpjane

what's wrong with my theory (sob)?

5:30 am

Jayk

that wouldn't explain "workforce development"

5:30 am

featherbee

Lord Jono, click on my B icon for a beginner's guide. (sneaking back out, am REALLY supposed to be doing some work!)

5:30 am

harpjane

it's clearly purfect

5:31 am

Haz1558

Okay, we've got to remember that the ad has been placed by a college of further education, so it's providing full and part time courses (usually vocational) for school leavers and adults wanting to return to full or part time education.

5:32 am

Lord Jono

thx featherbee

5:32 am

Haz1558

So, any workforce development references are to reinforce the idea of the college working in partnership with industry etc.

5:32 am

harpjane

you'll be happy to know that i am now tired enough to go back to sleep!

5:33 am

Haz1558

Excellent! We've bored you out of insomnia. I should raise the subject of silly job titles more often.

5:36 am

o-o

I think economic engagement is what gold diggers do when the potential mate has a net worth the engager is satisfied with.

5:37 am

Haz1558

But in those cases, the gold digger does not wish to have an economical engagement at all.

5:38 am

Haz1558

Hello, BabbleRabble.

5:39 am

o-o

Hello

5:41 am

Haz1558

I was interested in your spiffied up picture the other day. You reminded me strangely of Gandhi, except that he wasn't such a stranger to a razor.

5:41 am

o-o

I did trim my beard

5:43 am

Haz1558

Ah, I need to be more observant.

5:44 am

5:47 am

sandrafrances

5:49 am

Jayk

sandrafrances

5:52 am

Haz1558

5:52 am

Haz1558

Or, ka plus Mr Geller of spoonbending fame.

5:53 am

Atalante

he hasn't made an appearance for a while

5:54 am

Haz1558

I know. Messrs Gore, Onassis etc get all the glory.

5:55 am

sandrafrances

5:55 am

Haz1558

Well done, sandra!

5:56 am

sandrafrances

OFF TO DO SOME HOUSEWORK NOW!!!!

5:56 am

Atalante

Imran hasn't been around either

5:56 am

Haz1558

I'm glad to hear it, sandra. We self-scheduling domestic overseers need to stick together.

5:57 am

Haz1558

Which, conidering Imran's prettiness, is a pity.

5:57 am

Atalante

very much

5:59 am

Haz1558

Okay, time for me to go and have a nice walk with Spangle. Enjoy the grid! I'll maybe pop in later.

6:39 am

sandyloo

6:41 am

sandyloo

Haven't been to France Ruby but will be going in the next couple of years- I always watch the Tour and the countryside looks amazing

6:43 am

rubyfoo

I can't believe it! I thought I was the only female fan of the Tour. I am an addict and last year it passed by my house! and the there;s Stuart O'Grady and the other Australians.

6:44 am

rubyfoo

Even the French women find the Tour deadly dull!

6:44 am

sandyloo

I love the Tour and watch it every year, I stay up late at night

6:45 am

rubyfoo

here, it is on from 1:30 in the afternoon until 5:30 and it is my "spec8al" time, and my husband can just fix his own drinks etc.

6:45 am

sandyloo

I like the bits when they fall over the safety fences LOL

6:45 am

Boobear

hi all

6:45 am

sandyloo

hi boo

6:46 am

rubyfoo

6:46 am

rubyfoo

hi boo

6:46 am

sandyloo

I wish they would show the whole race, it really bugs me that they only show a section

6:46 am

sandyloo

I have to go and eat my dinner now but bb soon

6:47 am

rubyfoo

last year, the whole race went right through our village (Veyrier du Lac) and the individual time trial went around "our" lake, Lac d'Annecy!

6:49 am

sandyloo

I envy you ruby it must be so beautiful there

6:50 am

rubyfoo

it is the best! I am very lucky to have found this place

6:50 am

sandyloo

yummmmm nice aussie chardonay and fresh pasta with smoked salmon and capers and fresh baby asparagus

6:50 am

rubyfoo

it's a less-known corner of France

6:51 am

rubyfoo

OK, when you visit, that weill be on the menu

6:52 am

sandyloo

My daughter has been to France and says the food is really good

6:53 am

rubyfoo

unfortunately, this is not a good food region -- too much cheese and the meat quality is poor (not like great Australian and US meat!)

6:53 am

Boobear

clue for ac 5

6:53 am

rubyfoo

and we are too far inland to have good fish

6:53 am

rubyfoo

6:56 am

sandyloo

Ruby, I am always amazed at how those cyclists get through the crowds up in those mountain villages- it all looks so dangerous

6:56 am

rubyfoo

yay, half! now I can lie down

6:57 am

rubyfoo

I watch it with heart in throat!

6:57 am

rubyfoo

I hate the guys who run out in the road in front of the cyclists, some of them wrapped only in flags (or worse!!)

6:57 am

sandyloo

We live on 7.5 acres and always have our own home grown cow in the freezer- very tender and tasty

6:58 am

rubyfoo

the beef here is too lean and tasteless. The good meat is Lalal lamb

6:58 am

sandyloo

12 left here

6:58 am

rubyfoo

halal* poopy typing

6:58 am

rubyfoo

only 49 left here! lol

6:59 am

sandyloo

I must try some of the halal meat, but whenever i go into a halal butcher it never looks inviting

6:59 am

rubyfoo

it's the other customers who are scary

6:59 am

sandyloo

or is it halaal

6:59 am

sandyloo

lol

7:00 am

rubyfoo

and they look at me, an American, in a very strange way.....

7:00 am

sandyloo

They do seem to be rather reserved

7:00 am

rubyfoo

the lamb is really much better and for a leg of lamb, I have my halal butcher bone it and tie it up. The I marinate it for a day or two and we cook it on a spit. Fabulous!

7:01 am

rubyfoo

reserved is a nice way to put the hatred in their eyes.....

7:01 am

sandyloo

I love food

7:02 am

rubyfoo

me too, but I don't eat much any more, mostly cook for husband and dogs; I'm happy with yoghurt and jam

7:02 am

forwardbyfaith

7:07 am

rubyfoo

sandyloo

Central Business District in other words the middle of the city

sandyloo

It's like living in the country with all the convenience of the city

7:09 am

rubyfoo

7:09 am

sandyloo

7:09 am

sandyloo

i became allergic several years ago after years of not being allergic -- some allergies like this get worse

12:32 pm

Riverdance

oh thats good ruby - at least she is letting you touch it nwo

12:33 pm

jmcnrick

when i was a little girl we used to play chicken with the bees

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

that happened to me with ordinary green peas and also oatmeal, just since we moved to France

12:33 pm

Riverdance

was it employment that brought you to France Ruby

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

both allergies are so bad that I get hives every place and my throat closes. Very weird at my age to get new allergies

12:33 pm

Riverdance

or was your husband from there

12:34 pm

jmcnrick

you can't eat peas and oatmeal?

12:34 pm

rubyfoo

no, the reverse, retirement

12:34 pm

rubyfoo

yes

12:34 pm

rubyfoo

not together or separately, and I've eaten both all my life

12:34 pm

Riverdance

thats not good ruby - you take care not to eat those things. Had you both been to France before retirement

12:34 pm

sprite

evening all

12:35 pm

rubyfoo

I can't even touch a pea pod

12:35 pm

jmcnrick

weird

12:35 pm

Riverdance

12:35 pm

Riverdance

bye jmc

12:36 pm

rubyfoo

yes, I was here a lot, both with my first husband and later on and I've always loved it. Husband was here in WWII and some other trips, but was willing to move here with me

12:36 pm

rubyfoo

bye jmc!

12:36 pm

Riverdance

so it was your idea - that is a huge move

12:36 pm

rubyfoo

12:37 pm

rubyfoo

my first house and garden

12:37 pm

Riverdance

12:37 pm

12:38 pm

rubyfoo

(almost married a Frenchman in '78)

12:38 pm

rubyfoo

hahah

12:38 pm

Riverdance

I wish I could speak another language. My daughter is taking french IV right now - I push her to learn as much as she can

12:39 pm

rubyfoo

I'll bet that sprite speaks many languages!!

12:39 pm

Riverdance

my fathers side of the family all came from Canada - they all speak fluent french (different than from France) but because my Mom didnt speak, my brother and I never learned.

12:39 pm

rubyfoo

I've heard that after 3, it gets easier

12:39 pm

sprite

not so many, actually.

12:40 pm

rubyfoo

aren't there a lot of French-Canadians in your neck of the woods, mom?

12:40 pm

12:52 pm

rubyfoo

my day is finishing up

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

Australia is on TV tonight. Has anybody seen it? It looks like a bit of a stinker from the trailers

12:53 pm

Riverdance

have one of those going too - but this really takes my mind off of smoking - just quit

12:53 pm

Riverdance

I saw that at the movies. It was very good.

12:54 pm

sprite

ai4/4 and ok4/9

12:54 pm

Riverdance

Hugh Jackman without a shirt.........*sigh*

12:54 pm

rubyfoo

oh, great! Now I'll just have to convince DH who doesn't like Nicole Kidman!

12:55 pm

Riverdance

I dont know if he will like it I went with the girls. It is a long movie and there is some action. The scenery is beautiful.

12:55 pm

sprite

*suggests a generous dollop of rum in his hot cocoa*

12:56 pm

Riverdance

marvelous idea - you have got to see hugh jackman

12:56 pm

rubyfoo

somehow I think he like Hugh Jackman without a shirt even less than Nicole Kidman!

12:56 pm

rubyfoo

he'd*

12:57 pm

sprite

tell him at the end Nicole drops her shirt

12:57 pm

Riverdance

I liked her in this movie and I have never been a huge fan of hers

12:57 pm

rubyfoo

hahah

12:58 pm

Riverdance

sprite - is that lizard on YOUR hand?

12:58 pm

rubyfoo

I think she's terrific - in one movie she was an erstwhile TV personality and in the one on the sailboat with Sam Neill

12:58 pm

rubyfoo

I never know the real names of movies because the French names are always strange and I usually miss the titles

12:58 pm

Riverdance

I think you will love this movie then

12:59 pm

sprite

lolllll no Mom, it isn't. That is the teiid from yesterday's theme and I am not sure I would dare to have the lizard on mine.

12:59 pm

rubyfoo

I'll try to convince him

12:59 pm

redturtlehead

hello all, I am back for the last 30. I suppose I should get an icon clue...

12:59 pm

Riverdance

12:59 pm

Jellen

Hi, red!

12:59 pm

Riverdance

1:00 pm

1:00 pm

rubyfoo

I just looked at the lizard; it's gorgeous!

1:00 pm

redturtlehead

it can, I dont think I have that one...

1:00 pm

rubyfoo

1:00 pm

cybernan

1:01 pm

Jellen

1:02 pm

Jellen

Bye!

1:02 pm

cybernan

*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help :)

1:03 pm

1:03 pm

sprite

1:03 pm

Riverdance

1:03 pm

1:05 pm

Soodle

Just popped back. ((Sprite)) How lovely to see you. I hope you are well?

1:06 pm

1:06 pm

rubyfoo

I think you need a dose of chicken soup!

1:06 pm

Soodle

I'm sorry to hear that Sprite. I, and all belonging to me are very well, thank you.

1:06 pm

1:13 pm

wtg on quitting, Mom, keep going.

1:13 pm

Riverdance

I can and I will. Will have to find another word game for tonight - for some reason this really takes my mind off of it.

1:14 pm

Riverdance

thats cute hego - got plenty of those already

1:14 pm

hego

:-D

1:14 pm

Riverdance

I have books to read but that isnt doing it - maybe because I like to read outside while having a smoke

1:15 pm

redturtlehead

1:19 pm

sprite

I bet they understand

1:19 pm

Riverdance

A Gilad video?

1:21 pm

1:21 pm

hego

that's true. i have those too.

1:21 pm

redturtlehead

Gilad did these cheesy exersise videos that I used to do on Fit TV. He had a nice accent...

1:22 pm

redturtlehead

and I have to admit every once in a while, I liked hearing him say, you are doing great!

1:22 pm

hego

never he5 of him, Red

1:22 pm

sprite

1:22 pm

hego

Is he good looking?

1:23 pm

hego

Yup Sprite.

1:23 pm

redturtlehead

he was on fit tv, always on a bech or somewhere with 4-5 very fit people, usually women, but some men too. He is not bad looking.

1:23 pm

hego

I go to curves. it's okay.

1:23 pm

Riverdance

1:24 pm

hego

1:24 pm

Riverdance

1:24 pm

hego

Funny

1:24 pm

redturtlehead

I go to a gym now, but at that time I used fit tv, it was this channel that had all exersise videos all the time, I loved it because I got to try out yoga and some pilates, all at home!

1:25 pm

redturtlehead

Mom, the whole exersise video thing is hysterical, simmons, makes it even more so!!!!

1:25 pm

hego

1:28 pm

hego

He has a tv show, a crack cardiologist.

1:28 pm

hego

OOO ginger.

1:29 pm

hego

He says if you can walk 1/4 mile in 5 min, you will live 5 more years.?

1:29 pm

redturtlehead

but will it ruin it. its such a risk.

1:29 pm

hego

So I wonder, do you have to do it more than once?

1:29 pm

redturtlehead

lolol, I'm pretty sure hego you;d have to do it a lot more than once, its not that far.

1:30 pm

hego

Just joking, red.

1:30 pm

redturtlehead

:)

1:30 pm

hego

Try without the ginger for the first time .

1:30 pm

hego

Then add it another time and see which is best.

1:30 pm

redturtlehead

I put in the amount they requested, I just always seem to want to put more....

1:31 pm

redturtlehead

I shall leave it alone.

1:31 pm

hego

I love ginger.

1:31 pm

redturtlehead

Here is a story of clues for you to re 4/5. I'm su 4/5 some of these clues will help those not finished.When I wo 4/12 up this morning I had Babble on my mind. I aw 5/26 w/the intention of finishing grid and I did. I had to hi4/5 my monkeys to help me out.My monkeys get pa 4/6 with bananas.Monkeys were not a pa 4/5 today. They did not ru 4/5 my fun babbling. Monkeys were holding the right ca 4/6s and they played them just right. I did not have to try to ha 4/6 to find the words today. My brain didn't break a sw5/18 looking for words. Plus it's easy to keep tr5/20 of the words I find with the list.When I finished I celebrated with some ca 4/9. The monkey's re 4/5 the benefits of my fireworks with bananas. Their feelings get hu4/6 if I don't reward them w/bananas. After the celebration I thought oh dr 4/5, now what do I do? I he 5/14 dog scratching at the door before. Now I he 4/5 the dog again so I think that I need to ta4/8 him out so that he can release his ur 5/12. I sw 5/18 if I do not I will pay for it.I think he needs to pee like a ra4/5 horse. My dog acts like a wh 6/48 if he does not get wh 4/9 he wants right away.And then he becomes a wh6/33 and starts to wh 5/20. After I let him out I am going to eat a ra4/9 of ribs for a late dinner. Be back later

11:42 pm

Tanja

just flat - really two busy weeks contract work and of course I was bored the week so went shopping on ebay and bought furniture which is great at brilliant prices but then we have transported it and of course with working I have not had time to arrange it and I still have several hours of office work to do for us plus of course being anzac weekend all the kids are doing vigils etc which means no help form them (and thats not a gripe as such cos I approve of the anzac service they do) and my actual shoulder has now started to ache all the time whihc I think is the really bad bit

11:44 pm

jillibus

11:44 pm

Tanja

wow - sorry that turned into a vent lol

11:44 pm

herinfernallady

windoz and Tnja you need help

11:45 pm

jillibus

well vented, Tanja! Now I understand -- and \\\\\\\i'm afraid I'd forgotten about Anzac weekend :(

11:46 pm

PAV3

Anzac?

11:46 pm

Ormal

okay, just because I love new information, please tell me what Anzac is

11:46 pm

herinfernallady

Australian New Zeland Armed Corp

11:46 pm

jillibus

Anzac was a WW2 term -- Australian New Zealand Army Corps

11:47 pm

PAV3

a military celebration?

11:47 pm

herinfernallady

And I swear if I see one ANZAC biscuit labled as a cookie I will chuck a spaz

11:47 pm

jillibus

I think more an alliance celebration ;)

11:47 pm

PAV3

or something akin to our Veterans' Day?

11:48 pm

Tanja

yes my kids are rovers so they have slept extra today as they will do the vigil at the war memorial tonight and then the dawn service in the morning followed by a service at willeton followed by the city parade and then do the vietnam vets service which is a dusk service and then sleep most of next day away:)

11:49 pm

jillibus

Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand, and is commemorated by both countries on 25 April every year to honour members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I. It now more broadly commemorates all those who died and served in military operations for their countries. Anzac Day is also observed in the Cook Islands, Niue, Samoa and Tonga.
