jillibus

2:09 am

flosey

hubby got a few before giving up

2:09 am

jillibus

how did you do a bridge?

I don't know, 8 clear tops, only 3 zeros, hard to say

2:12 am

jillibus

very nice!

2:12 am

flosey

maybe in the running, I can never tell

2:13 am

jillibus

8 clear tops is pretty unusual

2:14 am

flosey

hubby does the math! he did the scoring but G took it home to enter on computer - we'll find out tomorrow

2:14 am

jillibus

yep -- we expect to be in the cellar

2:14 am

flosey

really!

2:15 am

flosey

Joanne is quite a gutsy player

2:15 am

jillibus

yes, but I was a real booby

2:15 am

flosey

her memory of a hand played, is amazing to me

2:16 am

jillibus

she and Paul

2:16 am

flosey

well, I very carefully set up a suit, giving me a debatable score, but then got to the board and didn't use it!!!!

2:16 am

flosey

yes, but I can't imagine them playing together

2:17 am

jillibus

you told me abut that mistake, but it was just the one.

2:17 am

jillibus

I was making a series of them

2:17 am

flosey

ah, we all have those nights

2:17 am

flosey

but I really must get to bed now,

2:17 am

flosey

2:18 am

jillibus

I'm going too soon

2:38 am

jillibus

and that's it for tonight -- 32 left -- bye bye if there's anyone he4...*poof*

3:18 am

sprite

good morning... so good to be back. Does anyone know what was the matter with the darn site yesterday?

3:19 am

lynxxx

Morning Sprite. DrG just said it fell over - again - same problem. Was down for 7 hours

3:20 am

sprite

yes I had to give up yesterday, no joy during the day and for the evening I had a TV date with my girl :) Ah well, today a new grid, a new chance.
I guess it is to be expected that things with a daily performance fail once in a while.

3:20 am

lynxxx

Sorry about all the server problems lately. This morning's problem was the same one as a few days ago. The server just starts collapsing in on itself. I'm still not sure what's causing it, unfortunately. (Pasted from FB)

3:22 am

sprite

ah thank you lyn. I hope DrG can find out what is causing it, I really miss my babble fix if I cannot get it. And I bet I am not the only one ;)

3:23 am

Haz1558

I'll confess to being mildly disturbed. Good morning/evening to you.

3:23 am

lynxxx

just a thought - hope it is not that hacker back again (from a couple of years ago?)

3:23 am

lynxxx

Good morning Haz

3:23 am

sprite

hi Haz :)

Oh lyn I really hope not!

3:25 am

Haz1558

I didn't know anything about hackers. Technical problems are bad enough without it being deliberate.

3:25 am

Haz1558

My problem was the fear that babble might be on again without me knowing so I was checking all the time.

3:28 am

sprite

:D Very aptly put. I kept checking too when I was at the 'puter. But must confess to forgetting about it once I was afk.

3:30 am

sprite

1. retan is a word. People do it every summer.
2. I am being very educational with the icon theme today!

3:34 am

Haz1558

I remember a student teacher in Latin trying to teach us the details of the Roman calendar. Poor man, he got very mixed up and what made it worse was that the inspector was in the class and HE had to intervene to straighten things out.

3:34 am

sprite

oh dear, the man must have felt awful.

3:35 am

Haz1558

He did and we felt bad for him. He was very young, I can stil visualise him with his fluffy moustache.

3:36 am

lynxxx

...and all the young girls hearts went pitter-patter

3:36 am

sprite

a painful memory for the rest of his career :)
He must have been overpreparing the next time he had to teach about the Roman Calendar.

3:37 am

Haz1558

I hope it didn't put him off teaching! He was actually very good with the language side of things, it was just unfortunate that he picked that topic to teach.

3:38 am

sprite

it is a pretty complicated topic, with many changes and (for us) the setback that the year didn't start with January.

3:39 am

Haz1558

He could just have summed it up for us - their calendar was different. The End.

3:39 am

sprite

hahahaha

3:41 am

sprite

I remember I was delighted when I found out about it. I thought it was liberating to realise that calendars are only a kind a agreement between people and a rather arbitrary one at that. And I still find it interesting how all corrections took place and that even rather recently another one had to be made to come closer to the actual solar year.

3:41 am

lynxxx

I am sure I am missing some really obvious words - BBL - going to organise dinner

3:41 am

Haz1558

See you later, lynxxx.

3:41 am

sprite

bye lyn, have fun and enjoy your dinner

3:43 am

Haz1558

Didn't the French try to change things after the revolution? I know they tried to change the names of months etc but I don't think they tried to be more revolutionary than that. The people didn't like it, though and persisted with their normal names.

3:45 am

sprite

yes I believe so. Also seem to remember something about the English making fun of the french names.

3:45 am

Haz1558

Making fun of the French seems to go back a long way!

3:46 am

Haz1558

But it probably works both ways. Goodness knows what they say about us, knowing that most of the population won't understand a word.

3:46 am

sprite

it does, doesn't it!

3:48 am

sprite

oh yes, undoubtably. We have the same thing here between dutchmen and belgians. We are cheap, th4 are stupid. The jokes about both misconceptions are endless :)

3:48 am

Haz1558

It's just like members of a family teasing one another, I think.

3:49 am

sprite

yes I think so too. For such teasing the parties must be close enough to know a lot about eachother, but not close enough to feel like one.

3:53 am

Haz1558

I was at a funeral recently and at tea afterwards, my aunt by marriage made a teasing remark about 'if the Browns have any weaknesses...' and then burst out laughing when my sister and I and my uncle drew ourselves up to our full height and looked utterly indignant.

3:54 am

sprite

hahaha yes that is it exactly, isn't it. Like the Bilbo Baggins's Birthday party.

3:55 am

sprite

my condolances, btw, was it someone very close to you?

3:55 am

Haz1558

Apparently our timekeeping is a bit suspect. She told the story of an uncle, now dead, who used to wait until he heard the bells of the church ringing before he'd fling on his hat and hurtle down the street, running up the hill to the church.

3:56 am

sprite

oh that is priceless

3:56 am

Haz1558

Thanks, sprite, it was a very elderly aunt who'd had mostly a very healthy life but who was deteriorating, not suffering too much before the end, thankfully.

3:57 am

sprite

sounds like a good way and time to go, if there is such a thing.

3:58 am

Haz1558

Yes, she'd had a long life but her body was starting to let her down.

3:58 am

Soodle

Good morning Ladies. I'm not stopping - I just wanted to check if Babble was up. Whew! Thank goodness it is. I was very upscuttled yesterday..

3:59 am

sprite

morning Soodle, yes very glad it is back too :)

3:59 am

Haz1558

Hello, Soodle. I know, babble is so much a part of routine it kind of sets the world adrift when it isn't available.

3:59 am

sprite

funerals are funny things. Often so sad, but when it is over and people gather for coffee or such, it can become almost indecently pleasant.

4:00 am

Soodle

Not that I'm addicted, or anything. (Denial is a rivery in Egypt)

4:00 am

Soodle

....river....

4:00 am

sprite

of course not addicted. Just nicely attuned to our daily rituals and routines.

4:01 am

Haz1558

I've always admitted to a mild attachment.

4:01 am

sprite

I like that word. 'mild'. Yes, I am willing to admit to that as well.

4:02 am

Haz1558

Actually, if Dr_God wanted to raise some extra cash, I'm willing to bet people would happily pay a ransom to get babble back.

4:03 am

Soodle

Agreed, Haz. Its incredible small money for literally hours of entertainment.

4:03 am

sprite

absolutely. But I think he'd better not try. Because that would incite somebody to start an underground babble site right away!

4:05 am

Haz1558

Underground babble - played by the light of head torches.

4:05 am

sprite

clueing strictly under the rose

4:06 am

Soodle

A secret Babble society... funny handshakes, code words, nods, winks,...... l love it!

4:06 am

sprite

we already have a secret babble language, ywis!

4:09 am

Soodle

The Siciallian volcanoe rises in the west.....

4:09 am

sprite

:D

4:13 am

Soodle

Hmm. I stayed longer than I should have. Time to go. Have a lovely day, Ladies. Poof

4:14 am

sprite

bye Soodle, have a grand day

4:14 am

Haz1558

Bye, Soodlebum.

4:17 am

sprite

fireflies. Deceitfully tight in some spots. But fun, of course, as ever.

4:17 am

Haz1558

Well done!

4:18 am

sprite

thank you, Haz. I am going too, I hope you have a nice and relaxed day.

4:18 am

Haz1558

You too, sprite. See you again.

I am trying to think how to meet my family over Easter

4:37 am

Haz1558

sa8/65 - the reply by the dentist to his wife when she enquired what he did all day.

4:37 am

rubyfoo

hahaha, haz, nice clue

4:37 am

vanillaslice

herinfer, we hope to travel Melbourne to Sydney, have 4 days, what would be the nicest route

4:38 am

Haz1558

tr8 - crimes against a nation

4:39 am

vanillaslice

and tr7 when you do it only once

4:39 am

herinfernallady

Depends on what you want

4:40 am

Dachef

an8: the worldwide location in which it occurs!!!

4:40 am

Haz1558

an8 - the direction given to questioners when there is no seating plan available

4:40 am

vanillaslice

early May via kosciosko?

4:40 am

Dachef

as8: the remarkable backside on an insect.

4:40 am

herinfernallady

You could go up the middle and take 9 hours or go the coast and take 13. if you do Coast you can stop over.

4:41 am

Haz1558

as8/40 - sounding like a donkey on top of an insect

4:41 am

vanillaslice

we'd be looking to do several stopovers to give us time to see things

4:41 am

herinfernallady

You going to Mount Kos or to Sydney proper?

4:41 am

vanillaslice

by car from Mel to Syd

4:42 am

Haz1558

wa7 - descriptive of children who have spied a desirable fairground ride.

4:42 am

herinfernallady

So sydney proper?

4:42 am

vanillaslice

yes from there we fly to Cairns

4:43 am

vanillaslice

is early May a good time?

4:43 am

herinfernallady

Nice. May not too cold

4:44 am

herinfernallady

You could drive Albury to Kos then through Canberra to Sydney. That will take at least 2 or 3 dys

4:44 am

vanillaslice

we were thinking barnsdale and then up and across

4:45 am

vanillaslice

sounds good what you say

4:45 am

herinfernallady

We did Melbourne to Bairnsdale to Canberra to Sydney

4:45 am

herinfernallady

Personally I would go Melbourne to Eden Eden to Sydney

4:45 am

vanillaslice

thx for that, gotta run hagd

4:46 am

vanillaslice

Ahh Eden, someone else mentioned that

4:46 am

rubyfoo

it all sounds wonderful and very exotic!

4:46 am

herinfernallady

Well ahave a look at Google maps. Eden is lovely

4:46 am

rubyfoo

does eden live up to its name?

4:46 am

herinfernallady

Depends if you want Mountains or Coast.

4:46 am

vanillaslice

thx again ....poof

4:46 am

vanillaslice

I'm off

4:47 am

herinfernallady

Ruby it can be

4:49 am

rubyfoo

half, yay! It soulnds like you have everything in Australia -- the country is so big, that the variety is stunning from what I read

4:50 am

herinfernallady

It is fantastic. One way is Mountain the other is Coast

4:50 am

rubyfoo

and desert?

4:50 am

herinfernallady

Actually yes but that is a massive dog leg

4:51 am

rubyfoo

when you take car trips like that, do you see a lot of wildlife every time you stop?

4:51 am

rubyfoo

(massive dogs? hahah)

4:52 am

herinfernallady

No goose you have to go way left then way right

4:52 am

rubyfoo

hahah

4:53 am

rubyfoo

this place has barely anything wild left unless you go way up in the mountains and then there are wild boar and mountain goats

4:53 am

herinfernallady

You can but it depends on the time of day. It really isn't sensible to drive at dawn or dusk. The Kangaroos can and do leap out of no were and the Emus can be suicidal feather dusters

4:53 am

rubyfoo

do emus attack cars the way ostriches do?

4:54 am

herinfernallady

Emus are fairly brain dead

4:55 am

herinfernallady

I don't know about Ostriches

4:56 am

rubyfoo

they are very nasty and huge!

4:56 am

rubyfoo
