BrJ - what brillaint timing! I think youmay have saved me from my other half's forum peeps he left me with. All they can seem to say is 'lol' etc.

English Version
NOT ON THE OCR

Tell me why
The sky is filled with music,
Tell me why
We fly on clouds above
Can it be
That we
Can fly to music
Just because,
Just because
We're in love?'

LOL! That's the speaking link from yesterday from a great musical, 'South Pacific'.

1:19 am

Nice grid!

1:21 am

brandyjack

that would be paved.....

1:22 am

Debs40ish

I'm packing my jack hammer boys... where?....lol

1:22 am

Boysaway

Oh yeah, you're right.

1:22 am

Jacula

25 words and going to bed here in uk now. bye, bye.

1:24 am

Doogle

Gotta stop at 126. Really. Hopefully tomorrow morning's coffee will make everything clear...

1:25 am

baggo

brandyjack...i think that there is only 1 q

1:26 am

Debs40ish

Nite Doogle... sweet dreams.. I've tried the coffee thing.. No help at all!.....

1:27 am

Doogle

I think you're right, Baggo. If the Qu was just entered as a Q, I bet the solver found a bunch of words in combination with the U right above it.

1:27 am

sprite

The Q can be hard for statmakers. We will see!

1:28 am

brandyjack

well, I have the list right here. I could look at it, but I'd hate to do so uneccessarily.

1:28 am

baggo

i don't have anyone to check here at work...And they are hard ones...don't like doing stats with q's

1:29 am

baggo

hold on let me have a girl here do it

1:29 am

Doogle

Brandyjack - could we chip in and help you hire a noncombatant?

1:29 am

sprite

Just play on, brandyjack, don't spoil your fun for the sake of stats. We'll see, we are forewarned ;)

1:29 am

brandyjack

i just checked them. You are right. Only 1 is accepted.

1:31 am

Doogle

Probably affects all the other 11 words it says the Q is used in as well. No?

1:32 am

baggo

Deb looked here.. only 1 q its hard when that u is above it

1:33 am

sprite

absolutely. I love this grid, really!

1:33 am

Debs40ish

I looked... I saw I foundddddddddd ittttttt..... Ermm I do hope we are talking about "q" word!

1:37 am

brandyjack

Corrected Stats. Seems the mhz solver i use has trouble understanding QU & U

7 words closer to finishing in one sec :D
Great work, brandyjack. Hope you did not spoil your own fun correcting the stats.

1:43 am

tedybeth

Thanks, Brandyjack -- really appreciate all the 'stat' work you do!

and tks to everyone else who does them, too!!! :-)

1:47 am

brandyjack

i wasted enought time trying to find Q words myself. And the ones I had to look up were not words I would have found on my own anyway.

1:49 am

sprite

S8/65

1:57 am

Gwen

do you have a clue for that s8 ?

1:58 am

sprite

Think family... or rather not quite.

1:59 am

brandyjack

thanks. nice clue

2:11 am

sprite

I found 34 x S - brandyjack, I think you might have removed one too many. I have one valid S-word that uses the Q.

2:19 am

fhwrdh

i agree with sprite. i believe the s in question is s5/18.

2:23 am

sprite

You are right, that's the one. So there are 180 words, 34 x S.
Always s*cks doing stats for Q-grids - thanks again, brandyjack. It's a dirty job, but s/o has to do it ;)

2:26 am

Christa

greetings from arizona.... what's with the "Qu"???

2:33 am

sprite

Christa, the 'Qu' letter is not used in combination with the 'U' letter. That gives problems when trying to make stats. See below for the corrections.

2:37 am

Dianne

I've got M4 x 4 and M5 X 2. What am I missing?

2:40 am

FMitch

another m4 but I don't know what the last one is as I am missing that one too

2:43 am

sprite

M4/7 x 2, M4/6 x 3, M5/14 x 2

2:57 am

Dianne

Sprite - got it, thanks. Now looking for that second O.

2:59 am

IceBoySF

o4/5, o4/8

3:06 am

Dianne

Something is wrong with the letter count - I've used the Q 6 times - each word was accepted.

3:08 am

fhwrdh

the posted stats are missing a word that includes the q

3:09 am

Dianne

IceBoySF - thanks - I got it.

3:10 am

Dianne

So are we looking for 180 or 181?

3:11 am

Gwen

ahhh.. thanks IceBoy

3:12 am

fhwrdh

dianne: 180, i believe

3:12 am

Chessy

I'd settle for about 100 words :)

3:14 am

sprite

180 words / 4.62 / 2269 points

3:17 am

Dianne

Sprite - you are too good to do all this work on the stats - thanks.

3:22 am

Denny

does anyone have a clue for the m5/14 that isn't to come together?

3:24 am

sprite

I might.

3:24 am

Dianne

I have I4 x 3, I5 x 2 and I6. What 2 am I missing? Any ideas?

3:24 am

Gwen

denny, The satellite of Jupiter that is closest to the planet

3:26 am

sprite

That was for a M4... sorry!

3:27 am

Gwen

u funnie sprite

3:28 am

Denny

thank you gwen

3:31 am

IceBoySF

I7/44

3:44 am

Dianne

IceBoy Sf - got anything else to go with that I7/44? I have all the other I words and just need this one in order to move on to the rest.

3:48 am

IceBoySF

Dianne.. im7/44
by the way, any hints on the other I word you were missing?

3:50 am

IceBoySF

im7 - The application of thick layers of pigment to a canvas or other surface in painting.

4:06 am

Dianne

IM6/33 - hinder.

4:06 am

Denny

e5/10
e6/27
e4/5
e6/24
e5/12
e4/6
e4/6
e4/9
e5/20
e5/22
any clues to what i'm missing please?

4:09 am

Dianne

IceBoySF - got it - thanks.

4:12 am

Dianne

Denny - sure you don't mean E5/16 for the first one on your list?

4:13 am

Denny

oops - yes dianne - can't read my own writing!

4:16 am

IceBoySF

Dianne.. i already got that im6.. any hints on the other i6?

4:16 am

Dianne

Denny, on my list there is an E4/5 that comes after the E5/12 - I think that's the one you are missing.

I'm missing E4/6, E5/10 & E5/20 according to your list.

4:18 am

Denny

do you want clues dianne? - IceBoySF definition is a type of sugar cane

4:20 am

Denny

Dianne my apologies there is no e5/10 it should have read e5/16

4:20 am

Denny

e5/20 is plural of e4/9

4:30 am

macadam

Dianne,a middle eastern prince e4/6.E5/22 is my problem!

4:31 am

Dianne

IceBoySF - I6/39. The meaning wouldn't help me much in finding it but if you think of someone with "get up and go" spelled with an I instead of a U then you might get to it.

4:33 am

Dianne

macadam - think of that newish gadget that everyone seems to have that starts with "I-".

4:35 am

agzam2

hint for e6/24 pls?

4:36 am

Denny

macadam - a vestment worn by hebrew priests

10:07 am

sherb

whoa...back on line...what went wrong there?

10:08 am

Gwen

Babbles back! Two hours was having withdrawal. LOL

10:08 am

Loma

yeah, i'm getting that. it's messing with me!

10:10 am

Bash

Wow - it's a bit screwy still. Gonna wait a while to see if it all gets sorted out...back later, Babblers!

10:11 am

Gwen

spoke too soon. Yep, getting 5529985 with correct answers. Getting 'oops' for missed or duplicate ones. At least chat is working.

10:12 am

Uneaixoise

harumph!!

10:14 am

macadam

Ginger if you are still around u5 is i na blunt abrupt manner minus the br!

10:14 am

sherb

maybe Dr_God has been too ambitious with all these improvements...

10:17 am

B.B.

Now, now - I'm sure it'll all be back to normal soon...as long as my words don't disappear! :)

10:18 am

brandyjack

the words that get that error do disappear. No sense wasting our time until it gets fixed

10:20 am

B.B.

Nope-my word list is growing, and the words arent disappearing...the ony thing that isn't working is the points column.

10:24 am

brandyjack

try reloading. you'll see them disappear.

10:25 am

B.B.

I don't wanna!

10:25 am

brandyjack

better write those words down on paper first though becasue you'll never remember them alll :D

10:29 am

B.B.

A fine idea! Thanks, brandyjack.

10:29 am

GingerUK

it only just let me back... been offline quite some time!

10:30 am

Flower36

FYI-- found my disappearing word list after the 12.02am posting of Jacula. perhaps you will too!

10:33 am

brandyjack

mine worked until at least 2 am by the babble clock. 3 am my time.

10:33 am

GingerUK

thanks for the 'u' macadam ... if you are still here!

10:33 am

zoom

crisis! babble's back but it's eaten my word list & won't let me enter any more! is anyone else having similar problems?

10:34 am

GingerUK

uh uh... I'm getting the duplicate entry error in my word list!

10:34 am

Moozey

refresh does the trick

10:35 am

GingerUK

if I refresh it takes my word away.... screwy!!

10:35 am

zoom

i'm getting that too, do you know what's going on?

10:36 am

brandyjack

thanks for the warning zoom. I just cut and pasted my entire list in case it eats mine also. Also been writing down the new ones as i go becasue they definitely disappear n refresh.

10:36 am

Gwen

refresh takes the error message away along with the word

10:36 am

GingerUK

zoom it's happening to me too... gonna cut & paste mine too now!

10:37 am

Moozey

you are right it isn't refreshing properly now grrr

10:39 am

GingerUK

is the non beta version working?

10:40 am

Beth

Apparently not - it gives the same error message, but on a whole new screen.

10:43 am

vici

Le sigh! I finally get to sit down to play babble and it isn't working! Horrors!

10:43 am

brandyjack

zoom, did you get the error message earlier when you were entering your words? I'm referring to the session before the one just now where you found all your words gone.

Hi all there has definately been a hic up with babble today regardless of if you use the beta or normal version - if you look at the log there is a big gap from 08.06 to 10.05.

10:53 am

FMitch

I was playing at that time and it all just went unavailable!

10:54 am

Anj

Hi folks - flying visit.
Haven't been able to access the site up to now and none of my words are saving :(

10:58 am

Anj

Now i'm getting

"Duplicate entry '5529985' for key 1" in both normal and beta although the beta seems to work fractionally better.
No score either. Who's hexed the server?

11:01 am

FMitch

try loggin off and back in again

11:02 am

Chris P

Tried that - still won't accept new words without the error message.

11:03 am

Anj

Done all that - switched versions, f5 etc. It's deffo on a sickie today. Oh well, i'm gone again in 15 so its' not worth overloading an already glitched server. Catch you all tomorrow :)

11:03 am

fit1

11:27 am

FMitch

http://beta.playbabble.com works well on the whole the only prob I have experienced is that your messgae gets posted twice most of the time.

11:28 am

wilson27fan

ty,Im on the beta site now and i must agree it does run faster < :))

11:29 am

FMitch

one thing if you are on beta and yr messages doubles up - it does not show double on the main site.

wilson27fan

beta is working :))

11:37 am

12:19 pm

GingerUK

12:20 pm

Denny

cbr1965 not sure how you get the 5/16 when qu scores 6 points - think i need more help!

12:21 pm

cbr1965

Sorry - I was unclear - no q in the 5/16 - I just started so probably too soon to try to help

12:21 pm

FMitch

Rolin - when I click on the ? for a definition that is what comes up ?!? Hebrew ww, from Phoenician *ww, *w, pin (sense uncertain), sixth letter of the Phoenician alphabet.]

12:21 pm

GingerUK

12:22 pm

cbr1965

12:22 pm

Denny

cbr1965 just to let oyu know ther eare at least 4 a5/16! thanks tho'

12:23 pm

Denny

oh dear what happened to my spelling - can i blame it on the gremlins?

12:24 pm

Denny

rolin - not sure if it will help if you are still needing help with the 3rd v4/7, but i posted a 'clue' at 12.10.

12:26 pm

FMitch

Denny - what did you used to do before Babble? I rue the day I tore the small article out of the Sunday Times a week or so ago.........

12:27 pm

Denny

fmitch - i used to have a life then unwittingly read my husband's Mail on Sunday and since then it's been downhill.... we've only been married 4 weeks and he's already threatening divorce!

12:28 pm

Denny

acutally i worked in the financial industry before falling pregnant and having my son 15 months ago. i am now what the PC brigade like to call a home-maker!

12:28 pm

GingerUK

can I have a clue/2nd later for the 4th a5/18 I have 3 now, 2 watery aq's and one good to do done a weapon!

12:29 pm

FMitch

There should have been a health warning - babble can seriously affect your health!!! you r life, marriage etc etc!!!

12:29 pm

Denny

*sighs* too true, too true! how about you fmitch?

12:30 pm

GingerUK

Babble seriously affects my bedtime!!!!!

12:30 pm

FMitch

Denny - a Mum - one of the hardest and most skilled jobs going!

12:31 pm

Denny

ginger could you clarify the clue about a weapon? think there are only 3 a5/18's cos it's the last a i need!

12:32 pm

Denny

fmitch - i second that!

12:32 pm

FMitch

Denny my last commetn aimed at you Im not a Mum I work from home so can indulge in Babble more than I should

12:34 pm

Denny

12:38 pm

FMitch

Dr God should pay you and then there should be membership for consultations lol

Charm

Thank you, brandyjack, and fellow babblers. Spent the day watching the earnestly sexy Jim Cantore and discussing with the hubby whether to flee H. Katrina. I think the fact we haven't yet made a decision is a decision to stay put and ride it out. It's already storming nicely here in Pensacola, but we are definitely better off than all the poor souls in NOLA. When the power goes out tomorrow (and it will), I will miss babbling and 'talking' with all of you. I will be waiting for power to return and bring with it my babble fix. 'Till then....

10:07 pm

Jera

You take care, CSA!

CSA, I hope you have everything tied down securely and that you and your family will be safe!

10:21 pm

swmbo

Apart from a large # of esses and tees, I
still have one 'r' outstanding. I have searched high adn ow adn i am sure it is probably quite obvious, but i can't see it.

It is not a turbellarian worm, or the edges of glasses, or frost, or the past tense of frost, or a religous ceremony.

can anyone help me find it?

10:36 pm

Doogle

swmbo - r5/10 - a grin or laugh.

Hi Dianne - another De5/16

10:47 pm

Dianne

Doogle, How about a little clue? I have the plural of the liquid and the one relating to diving.

10:52 pm

swmbo

I am just not getting it. Oh well, I'll work on those demned esses and tees...

10:56 pm

melissamay

May I have another clue for the st8, please? I've no idea who the widow twanky is, let alone a move she might make... :)

10:58 pm

Doogle

swmbo - the R5 word is pretty similar to the name of a type of monkey.

10:59 pm

Doogle

Dianne - to relinquish. Just one letter different from a common financial transaction.

11:00 pm

flash

Gwen, still in a gererous mood? Looking for SI5 (I have the location one but missing the other one).

11:27 pm

Doogle

Dianne - polygons are X-Si5/14...

11:32 pm

Gwen

si5/14, like your location one, is a past tense of a si4/5

11:34 pm

Gwen

that little 'd' just keeps hiding up there in the corner. lol

11:35 pm

Dianne

Doogle & Gwen - why is it the easy, easy ones are sooooo easy to miss? Thanks. Now I'm on the hunt for the ST6 +and SE4 & SE5 - clock is counting down on me!

11:37 pm

Gwen

st6 is not one of the easy ones unless you are medically trained. The innermost of the three small bones of the middle ear, shaped somewhat like a stirrup

11:41 pm

Gwen

se4 & 5 are a shortened name of a month with various endings

11:46 pm

Dianne

Gwen, got thos eS words - now I'm gonna give the TE7 a shot (parting shot ).
