3:36 am

mattygroves

Can I help?

3:37 am

rubyfoo

I think l'd need a brain overhaul

3:37 am

mattygroves

Awww - I think computer manufacturers do it on purpose

3:38 am

mattygroves

I don't suppose you have stats for either of the H words, do you?

3:39 am

Hello, Ruby :-)

Could you pay your friend's son to go to a restaurant in town and bring you something?

6:11 am

Deeha

had a lot of grey cloud here but no rain. Think we passed it all over to you Ruby happily because I've got three loads of washing out!

6:22 am

MollyL

Ah, I miss the smell of clothes dried on the line. All the snooty homeowners associations around here won't allow clothes lines.

7:03 am

Deeha

gein

7:03 am

Deeha

sorry

7:07 am

MollyL

No, it's just that people around here consider clothes lines "tacky". I think they are great. Easy on your clothes and an energy saver.

7:09 am

Deeha

How posh they must be! Do they have servants to do there washing?!!

7:09 am

Deeha

there? their

7:12 am

MollyL

A lot of people around here have cleaning ladies. I don't know if that involves doing laundry or not. I'm not sure I would want one even if I could afford it. Some things one should do for ones self.

7:13 am

Deeha

They may be the sort of people that have a good spring clean the days before their cleaning ladies come!!

8:35 am

mattygroves

In the UK most people have either washing lines or poles (sort of rotary things with many strings - it saves space). I do have a dryer, but I'm the exception. In my defence, we have a tiny house and tiny garden

dan, that girl is 4 years old and still has no name?

3:42 pm

dan2bit

hahaha I haven't updated my profile text in a while

3:42 pm

HarryHood

I thought that was a bit extreme

3:42 pm

dan2bit

she's Beatrice

3:42 pm

HarryHood

or extrem, as our grid would say

3:43 pm

HarryHood

is she named after the food conglomerate?

3:46 pm

HarryHood

I do like the name though. Good old fashioned names are making a comeback.

3:46 pm

HarryHood

24 to go - bbl to list, hopefully.

4:24 pm

cybernan

hello everyone - just starting out

4:34 pm

MollyL

<---Lost. Thought Miss 2 Bit was 7 and her name was something else.

4:36 pm

dan2bit

I had an old reference in my profile to when her cousin was born. I had forgotten about it, so updated my profile

4:42 pm

cybernan

2 famous brits in the grid today

4:42 pm

zoozzoom

Oliver twist.

4:47 pm

zoozzoom

Can't see who the other one is though.

4:49 pm

cybernan

don't see oliver twist -- was thinking of elgin and elgar

4:50 pm

zoozzoom

I can see Samuel Langhorne Clemens in the grid though.

4:50 pm

zoozzoom

no think FA 5/20

4:50 pm

cybernan

oh I see -- was thinking real people, not charachters in a story

4:51 pm

zoozzoom

Ah yes I see. I was thinking of valid words in the grid lol

4:51 pm

cybernan

guess I should have said british proper nouns

4:52 pm

zoozzoom

Nah it is me, Nan. It is getting close to my shut-eye time :-)

4:53 pm

rururocks

It is getting close to cocktail time here

4:54 pm

zoozzoom

:-) Enjoy, Ruru!

4:54 pm

rururocks

Or Red-eye time as we call it

4:54 pm

zoozzoom

LOL

4:55 pm

rururocks

On Saturday night we call it bleary/eye time

4:56 pm

MollyL

Be careful with those cocktails. You might get hungover from one drink.
: P

4:56 pm

zoozzoom

I know I would, Molly!

4:57 pm

rururocks

I weigh a lot more than you zooz

4:57 pm

MollyL

This is a community of light weights.

4:57 pm

zoozzoom

Ha!

4:58 pm

MollyL

The fame of Elgin and Elgar eluded me. I had to look them up. Fagin, from Oliver Twist I knew right away.

4:58 pm

rururocks

I also dont make as strong a drink as you zooz

4:59 pm

rururocks

Was Oliver ever glazed over?

4:59 pm

zoozzoom

What tea! lol

4:59 pm

cybernan

Understandable Molly - British history was a big part of our education when I went to school and I was a music major.

5:00 pm

MollyL

To me there is no point to weak drinks. Have a substantial shot or don't have at all.

5:01 pm

zoozzoom

For me it is the flavor. I like stouts and I also like southern comfort & lemonade. But only for the flavor not so much the alcohol content.

5:02 pm

MollyL

Canadians seem to have a wide range of understanding of all things British. I guess that is part of living in a country ruled by another.

5:02 pm

zoozzoom

Okay time for me to retire for the evening. Happy babbling everyone!

5:02 pm

cybernan

we are not ruled by Britain and have not been for a very long time, but we do share a heritage

5:03 pm

rururocks

Zooz is Janis Joplin reincarnated

5:08 pm

rururocks

Isn't Canada a Commonwealth still?

5:09 pm

rururocks

I don't really know

5:14 pm

dc43

Yes ruru it is

5:15 pm

MollyL

That's what I thought.

5:15 pm

rururocks

Ah ok

5:18 pm

dc43

Some of these countries of the commonwealth became self-governing while retaining Britain's monarch as Head of State

5:20 pm

cybernan

the queen is head of state for all commonwealth countries and the UK, but she doesn't actually govern anything. It is a titular position only. She just rubber stamps all bills sent to her by the various governments.

5:20 pm

MollyL

That seems redundant, but apparently it is the way the people in those countries like it.

5:21 pm

cybernan

Yes, some of us do like to keep some of our traditions.

5:22 pm

dc43

I believe Australia and Canada voted to stay in the group

5:28 pm

MollyL

Aren't Scotland and Northern Ireland still "owned" by the British?

5:30 pm

MollyL

Oh God, Wales too and a bunch of island countries.

5:31 pm

dc43

Scotland, N Ireland and Wales have ther own assemblies yet England doesn't.

5:33 pm

dc43

We own an island in the Indian Ocean which is rented out to America as a base

5:34 pm

cybernan

I don't know about wales - scotland is self-governing to some extent, but not completely as they share a currency. I suspect at the next Scottish election the independence issue will arise again as they do not want to leave the EU

5:36 pm

dc43

But a lot of the Scots do not like what the SNP have done to Scotland and do not want another referendum, which has been put to the side as the SNP lost a lot of seats in the recent election.

5:41 pm

lynxxx

sometimes the devil you know is preferable...our problem seemed to be that we didn't like the proposed method of selecting the 'president'.

5:41 pm

Dorens

yeah.. well we don't like the method of selecting ours either lynn

5:42 pm

lynxxx

so I hear!

5:44 pm

cybernan

remaining a constitutional monarchy is no guarantee, although I don't think I would like living with a republican system of government. I do prefer the parliamentary system.

5:46 pm

lynxxx

Its nice to have friends when you are relatively small as well - there are a lot of bullies around

5:52 pm

dc43

We don't select our Prime Minister we can only vote for a party

5:52 pm

cybernan

speaking of which -- I do hope he aussie firefighters know how much we appreciate their help with our current wildfire situation.
