I am still working with the s9/96 "the act of speaking to oneself" I can not find the letters for sputtering at all

1:49 am

Hugabugs

You might find a few of those s9's in Shakespeare's plays

1:50 am

linda

somethings wrong and I don't know how to fix it. every word I type is listed twice, so my score is double for every entry ?????

1:50 am

Blaze

REFRESH your screen

1:53 am

Blaze

WOW I wonder if that would work better when trying to get the kids to wash the dishes ??

1:56 am

Hugabugs

I have a w6/39, but can't find a w6/30. Any hints?

1:58 am

linda

it didn't work, I'm still getting double entries. I even closed and went off line and then came back on, but the double entries were still listed

1:58 am

Hazzardous

Hugabugs - w6/30 - a little rug? :)

1:58 am

Blaze

2:06 am

Hugabugs

wi6/39 - easily managed. (usually a sword)

2:07 am

you are 14? People in here aren't your age so text talk isn't appropriate, me thinks

7:33 am

makay

Becky, I'm new to this game but one thing I've found is that we don't communicate like we're usinga mobile phone

7:33 am

.:*BeCkY*:.

erm yer but its so much quika n at scool i write in full enuf so i cba wi it all tym so i fink wel i mite as wel shorten mi txt so i cn sey a lot more in a shirta amount of tym

7:34 am

GingerUK

you won't last long here with language like that Becky

7:34 am

Moozey

and this seems to be a friendly community so swearing perhaps isn't a good way to attract attention, as I imagine you will probably be ignored

7:34 am

.:*BeCkY*:.

yes i am 14

7:34 am

.:*BeCkY*:.

i didnt swear

7:35 am

.:*BeCkY*:.

wen did i swear

7:35 am

Moozey

so you consider your 7.:30 comment to be an acceptable way to converse?

7:35 am

.:*BeCkY*:.

dnt ignore me plz

7:36 am

Claire DC

Sorry becky, i really can't be bothered to try and decipher what you mean anymore. It may be easier for you, but its hard work to read.

7:36 am

.:*BeCkY*:.

wtf converse mean

7:36 am

makay

Becky it's a long time since I was 14 (no mobiles then either). It's great you are trying but one thing you should keep in mind is to talk the language of the rest of the "community" -then you'll be taken more seriously

7:37 am

lottijw

Dr God please get rid of this imbecile

7:37 am

Claire DC

Coverse.. conversation, a way of communicating.. i really can't believe you didn't know that.

7:37 am

Moozey

converse = to engage in a spoken exchange.

Anyway I am here to play, so back to the puzzle for me

7:38 am

mu

Hi all, don't you think the only way to treat becky is to ignore her she is a waste of time really

7:39 am

.:*BeCkY*:.

ok then i will type in full and then maybe you all can understand me better, and i will not swear because it is nt necessary and i am extremely sorry if i have affended anybody but i am really not a horrible person and although i seem very thick on here i am really not and i am actually quite clever. So i am sorry again for swearing and i will not any longer.

7:39 am

lottijw

DR GOD please don`t rest on the 7th day

7:40 am

Claire DC

Becky - ok, but it is actually offend.. just in case it ever comes up in a puzzle and you don't realise lol.

7:41 am

Moozey

I can see your point of view mu but perhaps Becky is not used to this type of community, so if we explain then she is informed, what she does with that information is up to her.

7:41 am

.:*BeCkY*:.

I am not thick i have just said that but i really didn't know what it mean i coulf of worked it out but i thought it would be easier just to ask and it has actually really hurt me that u are calling me things like an imbecile and telling evryone to ignore me when non of you know me because im sure if you did you woiuldnt think of me in sure a terrible way

7:42 am

.:*BeCkY*:.

ok then offend i apologise

7:42 am

Moozey

lets just wipe the slate clean and move on, if you need help with the puzzle just ask for help Becky

7:43 am

makay

It must be Sunday night fever - got 3 g4/5 - can anyone give me the 2nd letter of the 4th, i've got
ge4 5
gi4 5

7:43 am

.:*BeCkY*:.

any im off now to lay on my bed and cry

7:43 am

mu

moozey you are right of course and perhaps now she will get on with the game and let everyone else do the same. I just got sidetracked with her chat and as it's a long time since I had young ones lost patience

7:44 am

Uneaixoise

i've got gi4 x 5

7:45 am

makay

tks Uneaixoise - found it

7:45 am

macadam

Another gi4/5

7:45 am

.:*BeCkY*:.

see why are nearly all of you ignoring me lottijw sound like a freak who needs get a life n stop saying evil things when they aren't necessary

7:47 am

Claire DC

Becky, just chill out and carry on with the puzzle.. nobody hates you on here, if you type so we can all understand we will all help you but i don't think anyone is really here for mass conversations.. at least not until they have all the words anyway lol. :-)

7:47 am

Moozey

we are not ignoring you Becky, we are here to play a game. If you need to go and cry on your bed then that is what you have to do. You offended people but are not happy when they offend you. Its a cruel world

7:48 am

.:*BeCkY*:.

i am sory but beacuse i am younger than you all you are all treating me like im about 5 year old n making out that im useless and thick and cant doi anything right just because i ask for help with the game and because i didnt know what 1 word ment !!

7:48 am

mrk

Some people play games in order to challenge themselves. Others play games as a means of social interaction. Some of each group have trouble understanding others in the other group.

7:50 am

zoom

this is all seeming a bit harsh.
to change the subject, does anyone have a list of the e words please?

7:50 am

Moozey

we all have problems with the puzzle, if it wasn't challenging there would be no point in playing. If you are struggling then ask for help but be specific eg need help on ei7/40 (which for the record I could do with help on) just saying I need help doesn't help us to help you because where do we begin as we have no idea what words you currently have. Confused you will be :o)

7:51 am

macadam

e4/5 , e5/12 x2 , e7/40 , e5/16 , e6/18 , e6/21.

7:51 am

Becky - if you want people to think well of you, you could think about changing your behaviour.

zoom - the e's

ed 4 5

Great bio Sherb.

thnx macadam and sherb!

7:54 am

sherb

thanks macadam - I really can't remember what I did with my time before Babble lol

7:55 am

Moozey

I'm thinking sherb you had a life because if you are anything like me Babble seems to have taken over

7:57 am

lola100

Hi guys! Just logged on and been checking out the messages- looks like someone threw their toys a bit!

7:58 am

sherb

I usually work long hours, but it's quieter over the summer, and I've had some time off over the last few weeks. Back to work tomorrow, so Babble limited to evenings and weekends :(

8:00 am

cathy22w

i want to type in 'olive'... lol

8:01 am

sherb

cathy - I know what you mean, I want to type in identity (would be 60 points!) :)

8:02 am

macadam

Cathy,If it makes you feel better why not give it a whirl,

8:02 am

Moozey

LOL

8:06 am

zoom

sherb & cathy, know what you mean & once you've 'seen' them, it's hard to get them out of your head.

8:06 am

.:*BeCkY*:.

why whats wrong with my behaviour ive apologised loads for all of that

8:06 am

Claire DC

Has anyone got a clue for ei 7/40 please?

8:07 am

cathy22w

it would only make me feel better NOT to get that red 'oops' bar after I typed it!!! lol.... that can be crushing!!

8:07 am

Claire DC

Becky.. let it go, chill out. :-)

8:07 am

mrk

I try them anyways. sometimes there's an alternate path I didn't see before (though I don't know if alternate is the right word, since the first path wasn't actually a path)

8:08 am

GingerUK

I'm confused by this stats grid... I just inputted a word for imbecile from the bottom row appropriate letter ... it only has one possible word from it... I can't see why it hasn't blanked it as I can't build the word anywhere else!!! unless I missed something of course ?!

8:08 am

sherb

Claire - has the id4/5 in it

no def given, but will look it up elsewhere :)

8:08 am

mrk

becky, nothing is wrong. everyone has moved on.

8:09 am

.:*BeCkY*:.

and excuse me
not too long ago you were having a go at me for shorteneing my words and now everyone is saying 'LOL' which is an abbreviation of 'laugh out loud' and when i was shortening my words e.g. y-why and you- u i was been ignored and called an imbocile!!

8:09 am

zoom

claire dc, can't offer a clue for the ei7 - i'd not heard the word before but found it using the a2z wordfinder

8:09 am

trif589

ginger- the imbecile can be made in two ways, one has an extension

8:10 am

GingerUK

oh thanks trif... any clue for the word that DOES belong there then???

8:10 am

Claire DC

Thanks sherb and zoom.. i'll have a look into it more now. :-)

8:10 am

cathy22w

becky... you made your point... how about just chilling out and playing? it'll be easier!

8:11 am

GingerUK

duh sorry trif... just read your post properley .. found it ;)

8:11 am

.:*BeCkY*:.

o yes and i was considered as a waste of time by 'mu'

8:12 am

.:*BeCkY*:.

yes well i am right you areonly been like this with me because i am younger than you all

8:12 am

Claire DC

BECKY, JUST LET IT DROP.. FOR GODS SAKE!! It's like listening to a stuck record. Everyone has moved on, you should too.

8:12 am

GingerUK

has anyone posted a clue for the 8 letter... was that So?? if so is there a clue please?

8:13 am

.:*BeCkY*:.

you were all my age once you no how would you like it if you had been treated like i have and i am sure when i get to all your ages i will not b cruel to mi younger generation as you are all being to me !!

8:13 am

mrk

Becky, NOW you are a waste of time. kthxbye

8:13 am

.:*BeCkY*:.

yes well i want to get my point across

8:14 am

trif589

ginger - i8 - there was a couple of clues relly early on.

8:14 am

cathy22w

hmm... i wonder if we can send a message when someone is being a nuisance? becky... if you want to play, please play... let's move on, for goodness sake.

8:14 am

Claire DC

I really don't think anyone is bothered about your point anymore becky so either let it drop or shut up altogether as you're making the more important posts drop further down.

8:15 am

GingerUK

I have seen 3 kids past your age Becky and I have 3 more.... I would be supervising them on the net and would be horrified if they behaved as you are doing. You are inviting negative attention.

8:15 am

sherb

GingerUK - in8/60 to win over by coaxing, flattery or artful talk. Maybe Becky could give this a go :)

8:15 am

mrk

you want to get a point across, even though you are totally unwilling to hear a point? Nobody cares about your age. it's your behavior.

8:16 am

FMitch

Sherb I doubt it!!

looking at the timings it seems to happen when several of us post at the same time

8:20 am

Claire DC

Dr God.. please can there be an ignore button added, i think it would be invaluble. :-)

I got the 8 word now too thanks for the clue.

8:20 am

melissamay

Just guessing here, but I think we're being trolled by an adult with an extremely odd sense of humor. The act's just a bit too perfect. Let's ignore it and pray it either ceases or that Dr. God arrives on a white horse soon.

8:23 am

mrk

I can't find the i8, even though I've found 3 different ways to make the smaller version

8:23 am

FMitch

another way for now is not to interact or respond at all

8:23 am

Claire DC

Becky.. please shut up, for the love of god. You really do show your age, you said sorry and that's fine but you wouldn't let it drop and that is why you became even more annoying. Play the game and hush up. :-)

8:24 am

was thinking the same mellisamay, you posted it better than I could have too!

Sorry to ask for information that has only recently been posted but someone posted a website a short while ago that they use for finding words. Would you please be able to repeat this for me as I can't seem to find the message again in all Becky's inane ramblings. Thanks for your help.

Moozey, Dr G has put the kybosh on animated gifs

No worries. The system strips any animation out automatically.

amazing...I was born a few hundred yards from there, and still have family in Middlesbrough...they're planning to bulldoze a large part of that area for development, maybe a good thing, but sad nevertheless...

10:31 am

calicomo

Pleased to meet a fellow Arkie. I'm retiring soon and I want to go home......

10:33 am

sherb

Redcar! ah, memories of summers on the beach, paddling and admiring the views of the steel works... lol

11:19 am

usually have to wait for films to come out on video, or even tv, these days...tend to fall asleep in the cinema...it's either the long hours I work, or age... :D

11:19 am

good luck and best wishes to your son :)

11:23 am

Anj

I'm missing an S & a T and they're either a 5 or a 6 :(

Lo, the Q4/9 sounds like a square, the y5/18 is a different spelling of alpine al fresco karaoke :)

11:24 am

sherb

lola - there's a yi 5/18 too

11:24 am

mu

S9 one person spouting on stage i8

11:25 am

Tedybeth, agree it's scary. Our definition of local means within a 5 mile radiius. You can add one or two zeros to that definition stateside and it's still not easy to comprehend.

11:26 am

lola100

Thanks guys, got them both :)

11:27 am

Anj

Damn! Sorry Lo, mis-read your post. It's the yi5 meaning to surrender... Moment of myopia there :(

11:30 am

tedybeth

Yes, the scope of destruction is almost more than the mind can take in - that's why it helps me to have a comparison for it! Wasn't ever to good at solid geometry!!!

I always thought we'd see mass destruction in California from an earthquake --- but this seems even worse than I would have imagined from that. Now it's time to move forward - and pray for mercy!!

11:30 am

alimitch

mu thanks for that clue!!!

11:31 am

I agree with mitch I could use help on no6/27, please

12:18 pm

MadXSer

Becky, I take offence at your language. There is absolutely no need for swearing or abusive comments in this game . I realise that you are only 14 but immaturity is no excuse for your behaviour today. You were on earlier and being nasty to people and seem to be determined to carry on in the same vein tonight. People come here to play a word game and enjoy themselves, maybe even to escape from "real life" for half an hour........or 4 hours. I personally do not want to listen to the rantings of an abusive 14 year old who thinks that the who world is out to get her or be nasty to her. Play nicely or go away. Feel free to be abusive towards me if you must because I refuse to take any of your rantings personally.

12:18 pm

FMitch

I know Sherb I managed earlier today but this evening cant resist baiting - cos its so easy - never been called a geek before! LOL

12:18 pm

12:50 pm

brandyjack

While I have the stats, still looking for the most of the words myself. Only 73 so far.

12:50 pm

Moozey

bye FMitch

12:50 pm

calicomo

I have 105/1282 and I'm seeing words that aren't there.

12:52 pm

FMitch

Night Moosey

12:52 pm

lola100

Aah, brandyjack, another shattered illusion. I pictured you logging on, cracking your knuckles and finding all the words in about an hour and a half!

12:54 pm

brandyjack

Well, my stat generator does use the complete list of words so technically your are correct. I'm just too stubborn to look at the list. Not going to let a silly program outsmart me. Especially one that I wrote..

12:56 pm

lola100

Good for you brandyjack! I would have to peek after a few hours though-lol! Do you give the list to someone else 'til you've finished?

12:56 pm

brandyjack

Besides, my eyesight is so bad I've only just now figured out what your buddy icon is. All I could see was golden flames before.... You would think that after looking at a grid full of upside down, backwards and sidways words that I'd be able to distinguish waht it was.....

12:58 pm

hkw31

I'm anxious chocolate eating now - this is not a good sign. I'll be on the wine next...can anyone help me with the last V before I check into Babble rehab! I've got:

ve 4/7 x 3
ve 5/16
ve 4/8
ve 5/18
vo 5/16
vo 4/7
vo 5/18

12:59 pm

brandyjack

as for the list, no it's on my hard drive. I can see the filename, I just don't open it. no point. It's the chase that counts. I no longer dedicate the hours necessary to finish the big puzzles, but some of the smaller ones I do. I do however have the complete 2nd letter list open and visible which makes solving them that much easier. Allows the infinite monkeys methodology a chance of success. Although my dyslexic fingers cuase more grief...

1:00 pm

brandyjack

Ve 6 - ,Ve4x4,Ve5x2
Vo 4 - ,Vo4x2,Vo5x2

1:00 pm

lola100

Brandyjack- lol! I think it might be the grid to blame, it certainly does odd things to my eyes after a while :)

1:02 pm

brandyjack

well, off to buy some futon and mattress covers....

1:02 pm

lola100

Cheers brandyjack, see you later :)

1:03 pm

Anj

...oh no. Do I have to be anxious to eat chocolate now?

1:04 pm

hkw31

Thanks Brandyjack - got it. Is it just me or are the little words the worst to find?

1:04 pm

lola100

No, but you do have to share!

1:06 pm

Anj

I can e-mail you a Texan Lo ;)

1:06 pm

lola100

Have no idea what a Texan is :(

1:07 pm

hkw31

Anj - any excuse will do for chocolate eating!

1:07 pm

Christa

finally... getting to start

1:09 pm

Anj

Lo, it sure is a mighty chew :D
If you've only been over here a couple of years that probably won't mean anything (or then again, it might...) as they've been out of production for years. Rowntree have just done a limited run again tho' :) :) :)

1:10 pm

sherb

I thought it was a Yorkie that was a mightly chew, or am I getting my chocolate bars mixed up?

1:11 pm

Anj

hkw31 - good speech. Ah, I see it's chocolate past 7 :)

1:11 pm

lola100

Thanks Anj. We get a Tex Bar in SA. Sort of like wafer and aero chocolate, anything like that?

1:11 pm

cathy22w

wish i could get my hands on a raisin and biscuit yorkie right now..... lol

1:13 pm

lola100

I'll nip out to the corner shop, get one and email it to you cathy, if you can track me down some biltong :)

1:13 pm

Anj

Lo, bit firmer, with no crunchy bits. They used to be real teeth pullers in the old days.

Sherb, Yorkie is not for girls, apparently. Don't know which ad genius thought THAT one up lol.

1:14 pm

cathy22w

why, thank you very much, lola! now... if only i knew what a biltong is?!

1:14 pm

Anj

Lo do you but biltong over here?

1:14 pm

cathy22w

ahem.... HIGHLY dispute that comment, anj!!! lol...

1:14 pm

Anj

I meant buy!

1:16 pm

FMitch

lola - think you can get biltong in Chobham Surrey Shop there.

1:16 pm

lola100

Biltong is a cured meat delicacy from south africa! No Anj, don't see it in many of the shops here.....lol! Also am very fussy about my billies- must be dry and have a good flavour.

1:16 pm

cathy22w

been staring and staring at this thing, and only just got the 'loo' word!

1:17 pm

cathy22w

lola... is it a bit like jerky?

1:17 pm

lola100

Cathy, you are brilliant! Hadn't seen that. Yorkie on it's way.....lol!

1:18 pm

cathy22w

lol... very easy to get a yorkie around here!

1:18 pm

lola100

Cathy- I think so but I've never eaten jerky, so not sure :)

1:19 pm

hkw31

ohh -and me Carhy - ta. You can get Biltong at our local market, can't stand the stuff myself though.

1:19 pm

Anj

Cathy, i've got a big one in my fridge :)

Hey Lola, check this out:

http://www.sanza.co.uk/apps/shop/index.asp?m_id=3

I was hunting Cherry Ripes one afternoon and stumbled across this.

1:20 pm

cathy22w

i have never eaten it either... but it is seasoned and dried meat, generally beef or turkey, and looks like leather to me!

1:21 pm

cathy22w

if it's in your fridge, then it's BEING WASTED!

1:22 pm

Anj

...i'm cross-breeding it with a twirl, a cherry ripe and a king size kit kat :)

1:22 pm

FMitch

Anj - you have a big one in the fridge - Cathy and I are speechless I think

1:22 pm

Atalante

Cherry Ripes! If ONLY we had those in the UK!

1:23 pm

hkw31

Well folks, 1789 for 146 and I am calling it a day, off to a BBQ instead. Good luck to all those babbling on through the night...

1:24 pm

mickie

Can I get a clue for the ei7? Please!!!

1:24 pm

lola100

Anj- thanks for that! Might do some shopping later, although it does make me feel a little homesick :'(
Now, about the big one in your fridge.....

Anj

mickie, the ei7 sounds like someone who is a big fan of Billy with the sneer (ex Gen X, Rebel Yell 'n' all that)

1:28 pm

Anj

ron, it's an inv8 (to lure, maybe deceive) and an sol9 (monologue)

Thank you Brandyjack

2:30 pm

dazza

Could anyone tell me why this puzzle won`t take gilet!!!!!!!

2:31 pm

lola100

Because it's spelt with 2 L's. Howzit!

2:31 pm

roncook

it wont take ciel either

2:32 pm

dazza

It`s spelt with one l,in the dictionary.

2:32 pm

brandyjack

spell it right. Ceil
'i' before 'e' except after 'c' unless it's an 'a'

2:33 pm

lola100

Aah. No idea then!

2:33 pm

Anj

ron, put a Y on the end of it :)

2:34 pm

roncook

not according to scrabble australian no 4

2:35 pm

brandyjack

as for gilet (another name for a jacket), it looks to be a recent import from either italian or french. Hasn't been used long enough to be accepted in the english directory.

2:35 pm

Linda0

i've had my gilet for a couple of years!

2:35 pm

brandyjack

this game uses the Enable dictionary which might be different from all the scrabble dictionaries.

2:36 pm

lola100

And all this time I've been wearing a gillet! My spelling is so bad I'm surprised I ever find any words - lol!

2:37 pm

Anj

...unless of course you also have wi5/18 associated with a certain coyote & Acme...which uses the same letters but won't like the Y, no siree...

The wi5/18 root sounds like free-w..... as on trundle along in neutral :)

2:37 pm

roncook

any excuse to corrupt the real English language

2:41 pm

Dr_God

Just to let everyone know - I took care of a little problem a few of you had with a certain someone this morning, and there should hopefully be no more problems in the future regarding that certain someone. ;)

2:41 pm

brandyjack

and which one do you consider the 'real' english language? Chaucerian, Shakespearean, Victorian, British, Canadian, American or Australian? Want an exercise in bafflement? Try reading a 400 year old cookbook. I'm glad those people knew how to cook, because they were useless at writing.

2:44 pm

Hugabugs

brandyjack - Thanks for that list. I finally finished.

2:44 pm

lola100

Thanks Dr God, she was giving me a headache!

2:44 pm

roncook

aaahhaaa read the v as an s

2:45 pm

mickie

Thanks, Dr God!!!

2:46 pm

lottijw

Thanks Dr God thats a relief!!!!xxxx :)

2:47 pm

Chris P

Brandyjack - isn't it gillet??

2:47 pm

Anj

400 year old cookbook? Sounds like 'The Joye of Snackes' if I remember my Pratchett :)

Certain someone?? Has the redoubtable Becky been at the message log again??

2:49 pm

lola100

Anj- she got even worse.... if that's possible. Was really quite offensive. Yeuch :(

2:50 pm

tbear

I bear growled at her....

2:50 pm

brandyjack

Chris, not that i've seen. I googled it and it came up that way. Had to look a bit to find one that wasn't capitalised which would have invalidated it. Something like Tillie's and Kleenex which are a trademark and always capitalised. Could be a similar situation here.

2:54 pm

Moozey

lets hope she doesn't come back under another name or even worse she brings her friends

2:54 pm

roncook

i,ve had it, time for some R and R got 3/5ths great to have joined in the banter even if l am a died in the wool english man .if you are in Vancouver Brandyjack loved your city and surroundings

2:55 pm

Atalante

telic should be allowed too - but maybe thats too scientific for enable!

2:55 pm

Moozey

or should I say m8's LOL

Thank you Dr God

2:55 pm

Atalante

p.s. and lilo!

2:56 pm

roncook, other side of the continent for me. Well, sorta. down in the middle of the great lakes actually.

2:58 pm

Moozey, you and Ginger had my sides splitting with your comments back to her! I couldn`t get any words for laughing. Thanks it made good comedy reading:)

A Book of Cookrye by Edward Allde, 1591. Originally Published 1584.

Right, got more coffee in preparation for finding the last T's and R's! Anj, are you still there?

Moozey

Lottie - we aim to please :o)

3:03 pm

I`m glad about that. Some people make this site all the more worthwhile :)

Whoops, had an attack of real world for a few minutes there...
Bear growled huh? Excuse me folks, while I take a little paddle back through the posts...

3:04 pm

lola100

lotti- don't think I'd play as much as I do if it wasn't for the chat log. It's a great place for a giggle :)

3:05 pm

Zade

Help! Stuck for one word only, an NE6, have the birthmark one. Can't see the other for looking, a clue would be much appreciated.

3:06 pm

Doogle

<yawn> Snoozy Doogle awoke at 3:00 this afternoon and therefore missed this morning's excitement in the chat log. What happened??

3:06 pm

lottijw

Yeah thats true! Although it`s my mothers fault i`m an addict:)

3:07 pm

brandyjack

ne6/18 wrestling or the Admiral at Jutland.

3:07 pm

lola100

Hi zade, long time no see! The other ne6 is your famous sea captain (no, not brandyjack!) :)

3:09 pm

Zade

many thanks Brandyjack and Lola100, i must be blind!!

3:09 pm

Moozey

Atalanta - the T word you mentioned is an acceptable word.

Doogle you missed someone throwing their toys out of their pram, literally

3:11 pm

lola100

Doogle- check out the logs at around 11:45 (I think) if you want to see what all the nonsense was about :)

3:12 pm

Anj

Battle Royale this afternoon I see :)
At least the rest of us in this little corner of cyberspace get along like one happy family...
So who's turn is it to do the washing up?? lol :D

3:13 pm

brandyjack

no washing up in this game, just washing out....

3:14 pm

Doogle

Yes, I've just finished checking out that scintilating repartee. Glad I missed it!

3:14 pm

tbear

get fish and chips...no washing up...MMMM

3:15 pm

Anj

Hey Bear, i'm going to see Steve Forbert at the Folk House next Sunday.

3:15 pm

lola100

Good idea tbear, but none of those yukky mushy peas for me, thanks!

3:16 pm

brandyjack

hmmm, fish and chips. didn't know there was a non-greasy kind.... In which case, what's the point?

3:17 pm

tbear

Brandyjack...you eat them wrapped in paper straight from the chippy

3:17 pm

Anj

Fish & Chips always taste better when wrapped in newspaper. I think that's some archaic bylaw in this country :)

3:17 pm

tbear

no mushy peas...just mayo for the chips

3:18 pm

lola100

Oh no! Just salt and vinegar on mine please :)

3:19 pm

tbear

What kinda musak Anj..might join you

3:19 pm

Anj

What about chippe sauce??? Or is that just a scottish thing? OK then, gravy at least :)

3:19 pm

CATHB

the crispy bits are the best

3:19 pm

brandyjack

i don't think vegetable ink counts as your daily servings of vegetables. We do have a restaurant here in town called Britannia that deos make the most dwonderful fish and chips, and yes, they do wrap them in newspapers. Have to spend the extra for the haddock though as it is simple irresistible....

3:21 pm

tbear

Brandyjack plaice is the best

3:22 pm

brandyjack

my wife and kids like the mayo on the chips too. I prefer gravy and/or ketchup. And sea salt with malt vinegar... Think that's the end of the pork roast for tonight. Britannia here I come.....

3:22 pm

lola100

I love the english cod, but that's because we don't get much of it in SA :)

3:24 pm

tbear

I've already had mine...but after talking about it could easily start all over again. Enjoy it Brandyjack

3:24 pm

Anj

Noooo, dabs are the best flat fish - more flavour. Haddock is nice but I prefer Pollack when I can find some :)

3:25 pm

Zade

Just read all the shenanigans from the earlier chat log. It does make one wonder about some people!

3:25 pm

lola100

Do you get kingklip out here?

3:26 pm

Anj

Bear, Steve Forbert is a singer-songwriter in the Dylan or Richard Thompson mould. I'm not that well acquainted, but an old friend of mine is and reckons it's worth a visit. Tickets are £15.50

3:26 pm

lola100

Yay Zade, you got a little blue handbag (am I the only one who thinks that's what they look like?). Awful, wasn't it?

3:27 pm

tbear

lola..I take it that's a fish....No we don't that I know of

3:28 pm

brandyjack

I thought they looked like the legoland boys and girls. Guess handbags just aren't my style.... Besides, the one my wife totes would crack the back of an ogre....

3:29 pm

swmbo

I just got caught up on the log. Someone's temper tantrum was annoying waste of log space IMHO.

AS much as I love all of the improvements, the chat log refreshing every few seconds is driving me NUTS. It made reading the whole log take much longer. Is anyone else annoyed by this? Why can't we refresh ourselves as needed?

3:30 pm

Moozey

hi Swimmy how are you doing? I've just completed the puzzle and thinking of making a cup of tea

3:30 pm

Anj

Beat you by 30 secs there Moozey. Currently enjoying some PGT and (*gasps*) no chocolate :(

3:30 pm

swmbo

My pink handbag isn't showing? I have 101 words, lots to go yet LOL

3:31 pm

Zade

Hi Lola, i could do with a handbag, the amount of junk i carry around. It would have to be Louis Vuitton though, not a lego one!

3:32 pm

Anj

swmbo, you have to enable your profile to get it to show.
I didn't realise you can click on the handbags...

3:32 pm

lola100

At the risk of making a fool of myself yet again tonight I am about to ask for help. I am missing an ro5. I have to displease or disturb (ala becky!) and wandered.

3:32 pm

Moozey

Swimmy you have to go into profiles and add some details

3:32 pm

swmbo

Forgot to check Show Profile.

Must go look over what I have to see what I need to look for LOL

3:33 pm

Moozey

the handbags are little head and shoulders of either a girl or a boy depending on your sex.

I thought you finished ages ago Anj

3:33 pm

Zade

Lola, very similar to your wander one, different end.

3:33 pm

Anj

Lola, try another ending to your 'wandered' :)

3:33 pm

swmbo

Anj, the hints you gave earlier for the wi5's didn't pan out for me. Got a 'for thick people' version?

3:35 pm

lola100

Aaah, thanks babe ;)

3:35 pm

swmbo

haha, I did NOT put my age in as 35. Must go check profile again...

3:35 pm

lola100

Oops- babes (plural) ;)

3:36 pm

Anj

I'll try:
1) make a bigger gap
2) use, manage - as in power
3) the call of the w...... different spelling

Any better??

3:37 pm

GingerUK

can anyone help with a wi5/18? I have one that you can do with a sword.

3:38 pm

Moozey

Surely you are not THAT old Swimmy??

3:40 pm

swmbo

I wouldn't want to mislead anyone LOL

3:40 pm

Moozey

Ginger - do you have the wi5/18 which is I will need to wi.... my skirt if I eat any more Mars bars

3:41 pm

GingerUK

s'ok, got that one now... now to work on the wo's!

3:41 pm

Moozey

or do you need the wi5 which is Trickery; cunning.

3:42 pm

GingerUK

Thanks Moozey... got them now... any hints for wo's?

3:42 pm

Zade

Got to go. Have fun people, and no strops please!

3:43 pm

Anj

Ginger, there are 10 of them :) wah ha ha ha ha :')

3:43 pm

Moozey

3:44 pm

lola100

3:48 pm

swmbo

I have also had trouble with the birthmark one...

3:49 pm

Moozey

wo4 will not abbreviated
wo4 St John's Wo.. is a herb

3:51 pm

cathy22w

lol anj.... have been sick the last few days so reckon i need some chocolate therapy!

3:51 pm

Moozey

another wo4 is An unforested rolling plain; a moor.
The wo5's are generally plurals

3:51 pm

Anj

swmbo, think of a d6 word for empty or lacking (as in d..... of faith) and swop the D for an N :)

3:53 pm

GingerUK

thanks moozey!

3:54 pm

swmbo

Perfect Anj!!! I was trying to make nevi fit LOL

3:54 pm

cathy22w

so venti is not a valid word....who's going to inform Starbucks?

3:55 pm

AMN

As a fairly newcomer, does the list of correct words for each puzzle get published anywhere.

3:56 pm

swmbo

AMN, if you go to yesterday's puzzle and click on the list of the person who is at the top, all of that day's words will be listed...

3:58 pm

Anj

Cathy, I got in a but of a frappe about that one as well ;)

4:01 pm

cathy22w

lol anj.... they just finished running a Green Tea frappe over here... it was excellent but it is, sadly, no more.. :-(

4:04 pm

Anj

Sounds nice. There's a Boston Tea Party place in town here that does some weird stuff. I've had both cinnamon and aniseed teas there. You could conceivably poison yourself in there if you were addicted to the leaf lol

4:05 pm

cathy22w

aniseed sounds interesting...not sure how it would be as a tea?

4:05 pm

lola100

You guys ever tried rooibos tea?

4:07 pm

Anj

Can't say i've had the pleasure Lola

4:08 pm

cathy22w

what is in that, lola?

4:10 pm

BrotherCaine

wont take alternate word for jimmy a lock

4:12 pm

lola100

It means red bush and is a tea made from a shrub that grows in SA. You can get it at Tesco and I believe it's quite popular in parts of Europe. Bit of an aquired taste though, but no caffeine.

4:15 pm

Anj

No caffeine? But I like sleepless nights, cold sweats & twitching...

4:16 pm

lola100

Why do you think I've swapped to coffee since discovering babble?!

4:21 pm

Anj

lol...I try to limit myself to one coffee a day but I do met freinds in Starbucks & Cafe Nero and almost always succumb to a white chocolate mocha

4:22 pm

lola100

Anj- my real weakness is coca cola. Can drink gallons of the stuff and love it first thing in the morning for breakfast :)

4:23 pm

melissamay

Hi all! I've read Anj's kind clue for wi6/30 at 1:36 several times and still don't get it -- and I can't tell whether it's because I'm not British or not bright. Any other clues to be had? Thanks in advance!

4:23 pm

cathy22w

oop... dozed off...

4:25 pm

lola100

melissamay- sounds like a baby pig :)

4:26 pm

Moozey

MelissaMay - in Winnie the Pooh there is a little pink character that sounds very much like the wi word you are looking for :o)

4:26 pm

lola100

Moozey- great minds?!

4:27 pm

Moozey

yes lol

4:27 pm

Anj

...I did a clue at 1:36??

4:29 pm

swmbo

An abbreviated head piece with hair on it...

4:29 pm

melissamay

Oh my! As I suspected, it's "not bright." Moozey and lola, thanks for having great minds. :)

4:30 pm

Moozey

you did Anj and it was quite a good one actually but of course it it Babble time not local time

4:31 pm

lola100

melissamay- lol! You're welcome :)

4:31 pm

Anj

Ah...Chocolate sticks you have without 'tea' ;)
Sorry, it's been a bit of a choccy crusade today.
Think savoury snacks that you get at hatches, matches & dispatches. Also come in marmite and curry flavour in you're in a pub.
...and you should still take off the T :)

4:31 pm

melissamay

Anj, this is the one I meant:

Mary, looks like a wi6/30.
Chocolate sticks you have without 'tea' ;)

and I thought the second sentence was the clue, so you can imagine my confusion!

4:32 pm

lola100

Are there chocolate sticks called that too? I've heard of the marmite (yuck, devil's poo) ones but no chocolate.

4:33 pm

cathy22w

marmite on toast with baked beans and cheese on top..... ohhhhhhhhh yum

4:33 pm

swmbo

I am SO confused! "Think savoury snacks that you get at hatches, matches & dispatches. Also come in marmite and curry flavour in you're in a pub.
...and you should still take off the T :)"

4:33 pm

Moozey

the chocolate ones are delish

4:34 pm

lola100

Need us to send you some marmite and heinz baked beans too? :)

4:35 pm

lola100

They make CHOCOLATE twi6/30's? Must find!

4:35 pm

cathy22w

i have marmite (thanks to visiting family) and i have managed to find myself PROPER baked beans (Heinz vegetarian).... so you are reprieved!!!!

4:35 pm

Moozey

I'll send you some swimmy so you know what we mean but the wi word add a t in front of it gives you a snack we get over here in the UK made from wheat and is coated in either marmite or curry or (my fav) Worcester Sauce. Please note the T word is not in today's puzzle

4:36 pm

cathy22w

howEVER, chocolate pig-like w/6's without the T sound wonderful!

4:36 pm

Anj

...i've created a monster!

4:37 pm

lola100

Sorry, should have said t wi6/30. Very excited about my new discovery :)

4:37 pm

Moozey

ooops my mistake the chocolate ones I was thinking of are called Matchsticks

4:38 pm

swmbo

Phew!!! I thought it was a hint for a word. Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference beyween hints and jokes *sigh* thanks Moozey.

4:38 pm

cathy22w

i love matchsticks too... we can get them here

4:38 pm

Anj

Lola, they are VERY moreish. Even more than mini-eggs. Nibble at your peril :)

4:39 pm

Moozey

you can't beat choc mini-eggs, I mean they are made of chocolate!!!

4:40 pm

Anj

...and covered in a crispy candy shell :)

4:40 pm

lola100

Cadbury's creme eggs.......... aaaaaah :)

4:40 pm

Anj

How do you eat yours???

4:41 pm

Moozey

and how do you eat yours?

4:41 pm

Moozey

LOL

4:41 pm

cathy22w

bite the top off, eat the filling, and then the rest,,, and YUM

4:42 pm

lola100

Eat off top of chocolate, lick out creme, eat rest of chocolate. Repeat as necessary, sometimes quite a lot :)

4:43 pm

cathy22w

didn't want to admit to eating more than one.... lol

4:44 pm

Anj

Yup, gotta go with Lola on this one. There's no dainty way to eat a creme egg. Besides, they're dangerous when they are only wounded...

4:44 pm

Jera

Need help with last Q please, I have the quo4/9 & 2 5/18's.

4:44 pm

lola100

Cathy- it's amazing what you'll admit to in a chat log :)

4:45 pm

Anj

Jera, it's a qu7/48 - past tense of your first qu5/18 :)

4:45 pm

Moozey

qu7/48

4:45 pm

swmbo

Jera, I am missing the same Q I think.

4:46 pm

Moozey

I think I may quite whilst I'm ahead as Anj seems to post a nano second before me each time LOL

4:46 pm

Moozey

quit

4:47 pm

Jera

ty, Anj, feel better with Q's done!

4:47 pm

swmbo

Sheesh!!! I had the past tense on but not its root!!!

4:48 pm

swmbo

I like Kinder Surprizes. Chocolate AND a toy LOL

4:48 pm

Anj

That makes a change Moozey. I usually proof read my posts at least 3 times just to ensure I miss at least one typo lol

4:50 pm

Moozey

Well I shall hit the hay as work beckons on the morrow and it is going to be a very busy day. Nytol

4:50 pm

lola100

Just worked out that it is only 113 days 'til we can buy creme eggs based on the fact that they came out on boxing day last year. Will have to track down those other chocolate thingies in the meantime :)

4:50 pm

swmbo

I am missing a 7 letter word. I have the qu7/48, the ri7/40 and the so7/40. What does the 4th one start with???

4:51 pm

Moozey

Swimmy its an ei7

4:52 pm

swmbo

OH, THAT demned one!!! I have tried to find it, but the hints so far have been as cryptic (to me) as the word itself...

4:53 pm

Anj

See, I didn't even got on the podium for that one. What the hell, it's not the winning lol
ei7 - but you know that already lol

Take care Moozey :)

4:54 pm

5:13 pm

cathy22w

i work as a behavior specialist with people with developmental disabilities - i am in pennsylvania atthe moment... love the thought of being back by the sea!

5:24 pm

Jacula

Good evening/morning/afternoon fellow Babblers. Signing in at 137 words I see it's been a chocolate munching, hair tearing, brain bamboozling day here. Nothing different happening then.:-)

5:24 pm

Blaze

These words are a struggle today... the phonic words sound great

5:25 pm

Blaze

Jacula that would be right.... as I head for the chocolate cupboard

5:26 pm

Munner

Hi everyone from Atlanta, GA. I've been here off and on today and have almost reached my goal of getting HALF the words! :)

5:28 pm

swmbo

Cathy 22w, that sounds like a skill that would be easy to find work in around here. If you get closer to a decision, let me know, I will send out feelers etc. for you...

5:29 pm

Jacula

Blaze - I have a cappuccino choccy bar here - twice the caffeine hit. Shall I send it over?

5:32 pm

Bobsta

evening all ;o)

5:32 pm

Jacula

Just been looking back a bit at the log. There's an ei7/40? Oh b. hell!

'Lilo' and' 'lilos', and 'twiglet' are not accepted by the fegubrious Babblegrid. Why not??? LOL.

5:33 pm

Jacula

Evening Bobsta. At least at this time of the night you're not ignoring customers in our top of the range hifi shop. LOL.

5:33 pm

Jacula

Erm, I meant *Your shop.

5:36 pm

Bobsta

Very true jacula. having to get on late tonight cos i'm on a course for most of next week and i'm not sure if there is a wi-fi connection at the hotel. how are you?

5:36 pm

Jera

So is everyone pretending they know what fegubrious means or am I just stupid?? (It's not in my dictionary!)

5:37 pm

Bobsta

nice picci btw

5:37 pm

Jacula

LOL. It's a word I just inventend. A kind of Jabberwock word. Dunno what it means but I think it describes the Babblegrid.

5:38 pm

brandyjack

naw, it's just another 'f' word.

5:38 pm

aunt may

i'm with jera on that one!

5:38 pm

Jacula

Or even just *invented. LOL

5:39 pm

Jera

Whew. Of course, with Babble, I deal with lots of words not in my dictionary. It's sad when you can't even cheat right.

5:39 pm

Jacula

BrandyJack, you know me too well! LOL.

Piccy? Well thanks Bobsta. I saw what you said about drinking purple stuff making your hair fall out.:-)

5:39 pm

cathy22w

that would be great, swmbo... i also worked with teenagers with behavioral difficulties before this, if that would help. i would prefer to have a job before applying for a visa - would save my savings getting a bashing!

5:41 pm

Jacula

It's a nice word though, isn't it (fegubrious)? Shall we invent a proper meaning for it and see if it appears in a new dictionary in about 2-3 years' time?

5:42 pm

Jera

That sounds like fun, Jacula! We used to play crazy scrabble in college, where we would invent words from the letters we got. We came up with some doozies (& fooled lots of people)!

5:43 pm

melissamay

Dear Babble fiends, I'm missing an no4 and 5 -- I have the textile -- may I have a clue?

5:43 pm

Bobsta

Fegubrious: A nice way of saying F****** difficult babble game

Jax

Willing to trade....

5:46 pm

brandyjack

5:48 pm

Jax

Gosh - just ask a question and I finally figure them out on my own. Sheesh.

Jacula

I'm a typically stubborn Taurean and haven't even tried to use my new-found, paid-for stats on here. I prefer my own way of doing things for now.

6:00 pm

Jacula

Ferrari - are you on hotmail or MSN? Cos I'd really like to hear about the wedding etc.

6:01 pm

Can anyone help me find the v05/18???

6:37 pm

brandyjack

past tense of the vo4/7

6:39 pm

swmbo

Thanks Brandyjack. I always thought the vo4 was a noun, but apparently it must be a verb too...

6:41 pm

SunnFlower

vo5 is a shampoo

6:41 pm

ExWren

How much is $9.95 in English £ sterling?

6:41 pm

swmbo

haha, yes that is what I thought too!

6:43 pm

brandyjack

vo4/7 - The winning of all the tricks during the play of one hand, as of bridge; a grand slam.

I only knew the rodent definition. I knew that using past tense as the clue would get you the word, whether it was tecnically correct or not. It does appear as though tit is correct.

6:43 pm

lianakate

errrr..how much IS 9.95 in british sterling?...i have NO idea..sigh..was that a clue?

6:46 pm

Dr_God

5.42 GBP

6:48 pm

cathy22w

Dr God - I might get yelled at for asking... but... would there be any chance of some type of emoticons with the chat at all? something that would convert a :-) to a real one!

6:49 pm

lianakate

i had to go change my profile..there was something i was hiding from you all (God forbid)

6:51 pm

Jacula

What were you hiding Lianakate??

6:51 pm

Dr_God

cathy22w-

Emoticons, eh? Not a bad idea. I'll think about it. What does everyone else think?

6:51 pm

Gwen

lianakate, it's still in your profile. lol

6:53 pm

lianakate

about the synchronized swimming team? geez Gwen..my bad..(heh)

6:54 pm

SunnFlower

brandyjack, why is the vo4/7 anything to do with bridge,even the vo4/8 doesn't make sense.

6:54 pm

swmbo

Hi Gwen!

6:55 pm

Jacula

Dr_God. Know a chap on Beeb Radio 2 here in UK that could explode this site with members if we tell him about it. He did it for 'Friends Reunited' but, in my mind, and that of the founder members who were there at the start this may not be for the better (for the members). Should we tell him about you or not?

6:55 pm

Gwen

Hi Swmbo. About to go home, need any cloos?

6:55 pm

brandyjack

that's the primary definition of the vo4/7. I only knew about the rodent myself. I am not a bridge player. Click the word and see what dictionary dot com says about it.

6:56 pm

Debluvsmusic

yikes - Emoticons, yes they would be cool - but I am having enough problems with the other icons and the flags after the names. But I will keep working on that when I have some spare time

6:57 pm

swmbo

Thanks Gwen, but I still need 70 words, I may have to just give up *shrug* I like the shorter games better.

7:00 pm

snowyowl

Brother Caine the sl/6 is someone who is averse to cleanliness.

7:01 pm

Jacula

Well, yes, Dr_God, I can 'yank' (*blushes* but not how the UK follks might take that word!) but it might make you a multi-millionaire and us lot unable to talk to you because you've taken on a whole load of people to run the site for you.:-(

7:01 pm

brandyjack

thanks, i needed that

7:01 pm

Dr_God

I've added a few nifty little links to the order upgrade page that link to current currency convertion (say that ten times fast) rates. So hopefully we won't have any more "how much does it cost?" problems.

7:02 pm

Dr_God

Jacula-

I'm a one-man show. I'll always be here. ;)

7:02 pm

Jacula

7:04 pm

Dr_God

I'd be satisfied being a multi-thousandaire at this point. ;)

7:04 pm

Jacula

I'll get in touch with the radio guy this week, prob. later today. Still not sure I'm doing the right thing though.

7:05 pm

Jacula

You do realise it will bring trolls on site as well as many new members don't you, Dr_God?

7:05 pm

swmbo

Gwen, how DO you get those words??? You can keep the hints rollimg LOL

7:05 pm

Dr_God

More chaps, lasses and blokes is always a good thing.

7:06 pm

BrotherCaine

Thanks Gwen and Snowy; got 'em.

7:07 pm

Dr_God

Jacula-

Due to the-one-who-shall-not-be-named this morning, I've built a decent "blacklist" system, so I can handle trolls. ;)

7:07 pm

7:24 pm

Jacula

speedfreak - go to 'my pictures' on your computer and find a centralised pic of whatever you want us to see. You can then either shrink it down to 98x98 pixels or let the site do it for you. But, be warned, if you do let the site do it, your pic may end up long and thin.
