12:32 am

j

hi, dr god? i'm getting a weird error where some words show up in my list with blank point values, and then the total reads "NaN" - i can re-add those words, but there are still blank values in the right-most column for the original words...

12:34 am

Hugabugs

Yep, just got the other one!

12:34 am

leo

r8/70

12:35 am

12:38 am

baggo

sfneil...thanks for the great clue...8-/

12:40 am

sfneil

my pleasure, baggo... still at a loss for the m65, tho

12:40 am

Hugabugs

Neil - there's not even a def for it

12:41 am

baggo

yeah me either yet...

12:42 am

Hugabugs

m8/65 is archaic type fens

12:42 am

Jera

Wow, I already have more than I got all day yesterday, LOL!

12:43 am

mab

Unless it has something to do with a former talk show host, I haven't found it either. (a long time ago)

12:43 am

baggo

wtg jera...see told you a new day would come.

12:45 am

Jera

I figured out letters or has that been posted already (as in, there are 21 A words)...

12:46 am

Hugabugs

Not yet Jera

12:47 am

Jera

Shall I do the honors or is it too soon for clues like that?

12:48 am

baggo

s7/64 and s9/108 (sprites clue at 1217)

12:48 am

sfneil

Now I'm obsessed by the m65!

12:48 am

Hugabugs

I don't think it's too early for the stats.

12:49 am

Hugabugs

Neil - take your fen - add a vowel and pl it

12:50 am

Jera

Oh goody, never been this organized before...

12:50 am

Hugabugs

add the vowel near the middle.

12:51 am

baggo

ty hugabugs...neil it's there...

12:52 am

Jera

A -- 21
C -- 18
E -- 2
F --13
H -- 4
I -- 3
J -- 5
M -- 17
O -- 4
R -- 22
S -- 55
T -- 13
W -- 13

12:52 am

sfneil

i am so not seeing it!

12:52 am

sfneil

the fen we're talking about is an m5/20, right?

12:52 am

Jera

I'm a real Babbler now! :))) (hope I didn't crew that up)

12:52 am

Hugabugs

Neil - combine Mom and those that come from Ireland

12:53 am

mab

Miraculously, I got it too. And Hugs's.

12:53 am

Hugabugs

Neil - yes that one

12:53 am

Jera

Think campfire treats

12:53 am

baggo

sfneil, its an old form for that m5 word...

12:54 am

Jera

(sorry, that hint was for the m5)

12:55 am

baggo

think of what they call all the towns or areas in louisiana and change the first vowel to an m

12:55 am

mab

You might think of a bad experience as night--------.

12:56 am

sfneil

I have that m6/33, but isn't there a m65?

12:56 am

mab

Oh - too obvious. I hope I didnt run it for you, Neil.

12:56 am

baggo

m8/65 Pl your 6

12:56 am

Hugabugs

Neil - pl that one

12:57 am

mab

Ahem.... pluralize properly please.

12:57 am

sfneil

What an ordeal! Thanks, everyone!! Sorry for being so thick!

12:57 am

sprite

Lol, this is almost overkill :)

12:58 am

Hugabugs

YAY - You got it!

12:58 am

baggo

sprite did you have the s9 when you gave your clue?

12:58 am

sfneil

man... I'll be sitting in the back of the room for the rest of the puzzle.

12:58 am

mab

You're never 'thick' sfneil. Don't say that about yourself.

12:59 am

sprite

No baggo, my 'clue' was for the F4/10 :D

12:59 am

baggo

well it helped me get the 9

12:59 am

sprite

Actually think you are quite bright, sfneil.

1:00 am

mab

We may as well get all the seafood out in the open at once.

1:00 am

baggo

sfneil, i don't think you are thick at all, very bright indeed...

1:01 am

mab

There is far too much self-browbeating on this chat log, I think.

1:01 am

sfneil

thanks everyone. that was really embarassing to have to be hand-held through that one, though... my face is burning!

1:02 am

Daria

s7/52 x 2

1:02 am

sfneil

er, "embarrassing"

1:02 am

Hugabugs

Awww Neil - don't worry about it. We had fun helping ya! We all have blinders on at one point.

1:03 am

sprite

Right mab, let's face it: anyone playing this game must be at least a bit intelligent. And stupid, of course ;)

1:03 am

melissamay

Good day/evening all! Nice looking grid.

1:04 am

mab

Oh, sfneil! You needn't feel that way. This from one who really does need handholding.

1:04 am

sprite

I really think it is everyone's willingness to help eachother through blonde moments like that (and we all have them, neil!) that makes this site so much fun to play at.

1:04 am

baggo

we've all been there...and there are always going to be those words we never see...don't go gettin all red...

1:04 am

sprite

Hi melissa, it is! Dig in, room enough.

1:05 am

baggo

i agree sprite...just one big happy family...;-)

1:06 am

melissamay

Here's a for instance of a blinder moment: I'm reviewing clues, and haven't the slightest idea who plays outside your house for that m8, sfneil, even though the lightbulb obviously went on for several others. Also, I want this puzzle to take Marist in the worst way, even though it's capped!

1:08 am

Jera

I'm bummed fest & Irish aren't valid...

1:08 am

sfneil

melissamay, for the m8 players outside my house... I live in a neighborhood of San Francisco with a very high Mexican population...

1:08 am

melissamay

Whoa, I guess it's an m7. It helps to start by reading the clue properly, I suppose ;)

1:08 am

sprite

I was embarrassed yesterday for not being able to find the 'cassino' thing, with the alt. spelling so obvious in the def of 'casino'. :D And that isn't the worst of my blind spots either.

1:08 am

mab

Thank you Jera for the stats!

1:08 am

Jera

My pleasure!!

1:09 am

Dianne

sfneil - you can't feel anywhre as think as I did yesterday trying to get the waord acne......even the clue about spots didn't do it for me. Not unitl I was taken by the hand and led in the right direction plus a clue.

1:10 am

Dianne

I also forgot how to spell and type:)

1:10 am

melissamay

Di, most of my blank moments seem to center around words starting with vowels, particularly As -- so I'm just thrilled to see a passel in this puzzle!

1:11 am

plurple

107 and time for sleep.
goodnight Y'ALL.

1:11 am

Jera

Excellent m8 clue, sfneil... thanks!

1:11 am

sprite

I'm particularly blind to K-words. Always glad when there is no K in the grid.

1:11 am

baggo

i think we all need to be led...we all have our moments, i remember a couple months back when sprite (don't know if you remember) but i had to be lead to dr_g's favorite female anatomy part ti...didn't think that they would put that in a puzzle, i was sure they were talking about something else...lol on me...so don't worry bout missing a (fen) when i've got 2 and couldn't fin 'em in the puzzle...

1:11 am

sfneil

G'night plurple!

1:12 am

melissamay

sfneil, brilliant clue indeed. Thanks for the bit of hand holding, darling!

1:12 am

baggo

nite plurple...sprite you did the leading... 8-/

1:12 am

onyx

ok neil i live in the bay area, and i'm the thick one tonight cause i don't get the m8 clue

1:12 am

Jera

I have a hard time with words that start with vowels, too... A's are usually my last thing (& not in a dessert-type way)...

1:13 am

sprite

I remember. And I certainly didn't think you were thick, baggo, I only was glad I wasn't the only one with blind spots ;)

1:13 am

sfneil

onyx, if you've ever been to La Rondalla, or other Mexican restaurants with a party atmosphere, these guys come in and serenade you while you're dining.

1:14 am

onyx

oh god am i otl!!!

1:15 am

Daria

c6/39

1:15 am

baggo

but its the fun of asking for help and those that give it, that make me come back to this game day after day...

1:17 am

sprite

Me too, baggo. All we can hope for is that we won't all have the same blind spot at the same time, and then all will be solved ;)

1:17 am

baggo

a7/28 x2 (don't think they have been posted)

1:18 am

Blaze

Hello to all.... I am just checking the log before I get my fingers going...great clue to come in on tho....

1:18 am

melissamay

Agreed, baggo -- I like the people here, the spirit of cooperation that trumps competition. I wouldn't like it nearly so well without the log, that's certain.

1:19 am

spatialbean

Onyx, where in the bay area?

1:19 am

sfneil

I quite agree. And, even though I really was embarrassed about the whole fen thing, I'm over it now!

1:20 am

onyx

mountain view, you?

1:20 am

baggo

good sfneil, now you can just sit back and wait for one of us to get the next blind spot...lol

1:20 am

spatialbean

im in grass valley now but I lived up til now in alameda, 45 yrs there

1:21 am

sfneil

Thanks, baggo! got one of 'em!

1:21 am

sfneil

and the other! thanks again!

1:22 am

onyx

alameda is pretty, had a friend there

1:22 am

spatialbean

I miss the bay area but I can't afford it any longer :(

1:22 am

sfneil

alameda really is one of the bay area's unknown gems

1:23 am

spatialbean

it is very pretty, the victorians are amazing

1:24 am

Ray100

"christ" not acceptable as a generic term?

1:24 am

sfneil

I just wish it were easier to get to from the City without a car.

1:24 am

spatialbean

Not yet Ray, maybe someday :)

1:24 am

melissamay

I tried it too, Ray, and was also surprised.

1:26 am

spatialbean

There are busses and the ferry but once you get there you need a car.

1:26 am

onyx

i wish it wereeasier to get anywhere with ot a car here,

1:27 am

melissamay

Oh and Ray, there is a nice holy c6/39 to make up for our disappointment :)

1:27 am

sprite

Speaking of blindness: anyone who wants to hold my hand and lead me to the S9? Tried all the seafood I know and they just aren't there :(

1:28 am

sfneil

Whew! Done with the m's!

1:28 am

Hugabugs

this seafood uses a tool Sprite

1:28 am

Hugabugs

He's a real cutup! ;)

1:29 am

baggo

if you took your kids to an aquariam (spelling) they would tell you that they viewed...(those little devils)

1:29 am

melissamay

sprite, think of a toothy fish whose jaw might make a nice tool.

1:30 am

melissamay

Shoot, I forgot to use the seafood euphemism -- sorry! Hee.

1:30 am

sfneil

thanks guys! got 'im!

1:31 am

baggo

here you go for proper handholding.. Any of various marine fishes of the genus Pristis, related to the rays and skates and having a bladelike snout with teeth along both sides ....

1:31 am

sprite

:D
Got them, thanks! It almost jumped out of the grid and bit... errr.... well somethinged me. An illustration of blindness if I ever saw one.

1:32 am

Hugabugs

Seeking those a7/28x2 --- can't see anything

1:32 am

melissamay

Funny, sprite.

1:32 am

Uneaixoise

both are plurals of a6/18's

1:33 am

sfneil

Hugs, one is a record label and its plural... other is an upitty-up and his plural

1:33 am

baggo

heres the first...A bristlelike part or appendage, such as the awn of grains and grasses or the process near the tip of the antenna of certain flies. and if you get that change the vowel on the end..

1:33 am

melissamay

Hugs, think of a prefix for a crat that's hoity toity. You need a different vowel at the end each time, and the plurals.

1:33 am

baggo

oh such great clues...une why not just postem in the log....lol

1:34 am

melissamay

Ha, we need to assign turns for clues!

1:35 am

sprite

The least obvious clues are the nicest, I think. I particularly like the cryptic ones.

1:35 am

melissamay

Yes, sorry, I'm not being terribly cryptic today! I'll work on my subtlety...

1:36 am

baggo

i like seeing how people's minds work with the different clues...what works for some won't work for others..

1:36 am

Hugabugs

Thanks everyone. got em both!

1:36 am

Uneaixoise

thanks a lot, baggo! couldn't sleep and had just lumbered over to pc to check out new babble and . . . needed to jumpstart brain first :-)

1:36 am

sprite

A7/48 (or did I miss it in the log?)

1:36 am

Blaze

baggo and all.... It's the clues and sharing that make the game....

1:36 am

Hugabugs

Sprite - Is that the guru one?

1:36 am

baggo

hey how come the name of thegirl that plays in the m8 is allowed in the puzzle????

1:37 am

melissamay

Baggo, because she's also moony!

1:37 am

Paddytt

Help.... we don't have serenading Mexicans here in rural Lincolnshire. Any more clues on the M8 please?

1:38 am

onyx

how come i put in the girl's name earlier and it wouldn't take it?

1:38 am

baggo

hey blaze....i totally agree.. see melissamay learn a new word today...well old word new def...lol

1:39 am

melissamay

There's a Robert Rodriguez film called El M____.

(How's that for subtle? Probably not very!)

1:39 am

Blaze

My trick is to follow the grid and the chat log at the same time....multi tasking...

1:39 am

Hugabugs

Blaze - I try to do the same

1:39 am

sfneil

Paddytt, there's not much more to say! It's the name of a Mexican street band, or the type of music they play.

1:40 am

sprite

Hugs: yes, the guru one. Had been mentioned already, I fear.

1:40 am

baggo

paddy, don't know anyother def other than a street band in mexico did you see the movie the three amigos? there was one in there that might help

1:41 am

sfneil

or, the hispanic name for the Mother of God, plus the 22nd letter of the Greek alphabet!

1:41 am

Paddytt

Got it! Thanks sfneil & melissamay

1:43 am

mab

Paddy: for m9, consider the sort of music native to Mexico; guitars, dried gourds. also serapes and sombreros, stereotypically.

1:44 am

melissamay

For some reason, I am getting enormous pleasure from the phrase, "serenading Mexicans here in rural Lincolnshire." Now I promise to put a sock in it and get back to the puzzle.

1:44 am

baggo

okay here is what we have so far....(don't look if you don't want to see)

1:45 am

sfneil

kind of a lovely "it's a small world after all" picture, isn't it, melissamay?

1:45 am

sprite

Googled on 'mexican serenade' and the fourth hit presented me with a great songtext :)
Never knew that was a mexican song, thought it was some football supporter thing.

1:46 am

melissamay

sfneil, it's more revenge of the blennies...for all those times we don't understand the Brit clues!

Ok, sock, for real now.

1:46 am

baggo

oops forgot the last f7/60 and i'm off to google sprites idea...

1:47 am

sprite

Won't help, baggo... sorry to be misleading, I just thought I'd share the joke.

1:48 am

Paddytt

I will apologise for all confusing Brit clues.... lol

1:48 am

LUCKY

sprite where near a'dam are you, for I'm near a'dam too?

1:49 am

baggo

well sprite your clue was great cause if you go google it there is a picture of the m8 outside someones trailer in the gravel....lol funniest thing i've seen in a long time....

1:49 am

sprite

I'm in Zaanstad, Lucky. And you?

1:50 am

sfneil

talk about "small world"... I graduated high school in the Hague!

1:50 am

Blaze

paddy don't apolozie...they are usually great clues...

1:50 am

LUCKY

I'm in Blaricum still a little drive away helas...

1:50 am

baggo

the lady in the lawnchair takes the prize...you all must go google...

1:50 am

mab

No apologies necessary, Paddy. I think it's fun.

1:51 am

sprite

Blaricum isn't that far. Well, nothing is far in Holland, of course ;) Nice to see fellow countrymen! The Hague, Blaze? Also very close.

1:52 am

melissamay

Please, no offense intended with the Brit stuff...it's actually fairly amusing that I sometimes have to google the *clue*.

1:53 am

LUCKY

Being an American in Blaricum I still cannot see most of the words s9/108 any clues please?

1:53 am

sfneil

No, that was me sprite! Goeiemorgen!

1:54 am

Paddytt

I think this whole 'thing' is amusing and really great! I love the dialogue between people.

1:54 am

sprite

Goeiemorgen, ook voor jou, sfneil. Sorry to get the names mixed up - another blind spot ;)

1:55 am

sfneil

I have the fondest memories of Holland...

1:55 am

sprite

Lucky, Hugabugs had a great clue for the C9:
this seafoods uses a tool. He's a real cutup.
(and then pluralise).

1:56 am

baggo

Movable, trestle type bench that supports the work being cut (but change the mammal to marine life)

1:56 am

LUCKY

sfneil Goedemorgen to you too. Did not forget your Dutch eh?

1:56 am

Blaze

That clue was for the S 9 I thought...??? I got my S 9 word

1:57 am

sfneil

Lucky, I can still read, say, a newspaper article, but vocabulary in conversation is sadly hard to come up with.

1:57 am

sprite

That's right, Blaze, Lucky asked for the S9.
Did you ask for a clue for another word?

1:59 am

Blaze

No --- I am okay for now.... I think... my fingers are not cooperating with the keyboard tonite....
althoug the t7/48 is interesting ???

2:00 am

baggo

i agree blaze...can you imagine going to the drugstore to get some of that to treat fungi???

2:00 am

sprite

T7/48: fungicides (yeah, if that's a help)

2:01 am

LUCKY

sfneil we should talk in dutch if it where not for this chatlog .. only sprite would be able to join in

2:02 am

sprite

Actually, this log is getting so chatty we should open some irc-channel. And then we could PM eachother in dutch, LOL.

2:03 am

sfneil

Lucky, I would love that! It is sad to feel I can't communicate in a language I was once (kind of) fluent in.

If you want, you can email me (address in my profile).

For now though, I'm very sleepy and will have to leave the rest of the puzzle for tomorrow.

Goeie avond (goodnight), everyone!

2:03 am

sprite

Welterusten, sfneil - dream of holland ;)

2:04 am

Hugabugs

Goodnight Neil - sleep well.

2:04 am

LUCKY

I'm all for it but am not into irc chat any clues?

2:04 am

baggo

nite sleep tight...don't let the bedbugs bite..

2:04 am

melissamay

Pleasant dreams, sfneil!

2:05 am

mab

'night neil, sleep well.

2:05 am

sfneil

Welterusten ook voor jou, Sprite! I hope I do dream of Holland!

Goodnight, everyone, and thanks for the help!

2:05 am

LUCKY

Geen enge dromen!! Slaap lekker Neil

2:06 am

sfneil

Dank u vel, lucky! Tot ziens!

2:07 am

sprite

Lucky, irc needs a program like mIRC to chat. If you google on that, you'll find all the info. Good luck!

2:58 am

zoom

dianne, s7/52 - moves suddenly to avoid something

3:07 am

Dianne

zoom - I finally got that one now I am hunding the other but I can't find the right combo to give those points or the S7/36.

3:09 am

zoom

i have an s6/36, is there an s7/36 as well?

3:10 am

Charlie

Baggo I also have an F7/60

3:11 am

bodkinz

3:11 am

zoom

f7/60 sounds good! do you have a clue for that charlie?

3:14 am

Dianne

aoom - baggo post a list of biggies at 1:44. It doens't have the F7/60 so that's a new addition. Come on charlie - give up a wee clue for it.

3:15 am

FMitch

Morning, there is no def for the f7 but the last 3 letters are the same as the mexican players from earlier

3:15 am

zoom

have to go & do some chores before work, happy babbling, see you later!

3:17 am

Charlie

sorry for F7/60 think of a 6 letter word for a complete failure (not in puzzle) --drop last letter and substitue 3 letter Greek letter...clear as muc???

3:17 am

zoom

oh fmitch, i'm intrigued with the f7 now, have to stay a little longer!

3:19 am

3:25 am

Babbler

hi all. I must be a total failure -- I can't find the first part of the f7 clue! (not had any sleep tho'. can't sleep).

3:25 am

Dianne

Charlie & Fmitch - thanks for the great clues. Got that big boy! Still looking for the other S7/52 (not the get outta the way one).

3:27 am

Dianne

Babbler - think of a little car that starts with F and use the first few letters of that to play with.

3:31 am

SunnFlower

the f7/60 is an Italian word, to do with cinema I think

3:31 am

Babbler

hmmmmm..... little cars and serenading mexicans........... I could be dreaming! : )

3:38 am

Cmith

f7/60 are those cute wicker wrapped wine bottles

3:39 am

lottijw

Hi Ferrari, just taken a quick look before i go to work and i`m pleased to see theres a "firmarse" in there...... unlike my own!!!!!!

3:39 am

broll

Hi: Been lurking. Up early to take hubbie to airport. f7/60 is pl. of same word as total failure. According to old Scrabble dictionary, word means a wine bottle.

3:42 am

SunnFlower

I like that lotti

3:43 am

SunnFlower

wont be able to see anything else all day now

3:43 am

3:56 am

granadan

3:58 am

Babbler

oooooh yeah......... earl grey! taa!

3:59 am

granadan

3:59 am

You heathen!
rotfl

4:00 am

Babbler

oooh, I know! right pleb, me!

4:02 am

flerie

grrrr....can't figure out f7/60...

4:02 am

granadan

Talking of drinks - when did they take the beef out of bovril! I tried to make a cup earlier and it was foul - when I looked on the label, its now the same as Marmite - yeast extract only. Thank heavens for co ops own *Beefy* (in similar packaging)

4:03 am

zoom

back for another little look - are there 2 f7s? i have the f7/60, anyone know about the other one?

4:04 am

Babbler

f7/52

4:05 am

zoom

don't suppose you'd have a clue for that babbler?

4:05 am

Babbler

I've not had Bovril since sometime in the 80s I think! They probably made it non-beef during the food scares. (guessing!!)

4:06 am

Babbler

builds off f5/22

4:06 am

SunnFlower

zoom what you do when the error babble comes up then switch it round

4:08 am

flerie

Thanks Babbler...got f7/52....still have no idea what f7/60 is... : (

4:09 am

SunnFlower

flerie there were some clues for that atound 3.27am

4:11 am

zoom

i do lots of things when the error babble comes up - none of them printable!! think i'm being a bit thick about this - my f5/22 goes diagonally through the grid - is this the right f5 to build on?

4:13 am

granadan

No, you want the one that is less stale than that ;-)

4:14 am

Haz1558

the f5/22 that I have that builds onto the f7 doesn't go diagonally. Think of fruit, flowers and vegetables and first year people at university minus an r.

4:15 am

SunnFlower

zoom go right from the f then up then cicle round the f, ps you ref**** it dont you

4:15 am

granadan

4:18 am

SunnFlower

there's a strong Italian feel to this grid don't you think from a5/10 to some c's and the f7/60, cant see ferrari though

4:18 am

flerie

sorry ferrari...still can't figure it out even with the clues...

4:20 am

SunnFlower

go left and down, or I will have to CHI de you

4:20 am

SunnFlower

sorry I should have said left and down from the f

4:22 am

SunnFlower

think little Italian car then lose last letter and carry on down left side of grid

4:22 am

granadan

Ta Ferrarri!

4:23 am

Babbler

Im still looking for serenading mexicans....... the m9. everytime I think I'm close, I'm wrong! any help?

4:24 am

Jacula

Hiya all. Anj - I just tried to put 'taser' in, too.:-)

6:28 am

Babbler

hi Jacula !

6:29 am

Anj

ferrari, if you display the whole log (hint: DON'T!) you get stuck as every time the log refreshes it's adding about 200 posts and that figure increases every time we add a message. it's not quite exponential but it's going to clog something up sooner or later.
I've dropped Dr G a note to say haaayyulllp!

6:29 am

lola100

Hi jacula :)

6:31 am

Hi Jacula :) lol

Good morning all

If you don't have Firefox then asking to show all messages results in a quick trip to limboland and having to reboot.

6:31 am

Hi artlady :)

6:32 am

Eva

Could someone say what letter the 9 begins with?

6:32 am

SunnFlower

everthing stopped working for a minute then your disease must be catching Anj , I was trying to say (about the e) that I cant remember it yet, HI JACULA

6:32 am

Anj

Eva, it does if you DO have firefox, trust me on this lol
There are just too many messages for it to cope now.

Morning artlady :)

Ace Anj! Glad that someone's on the same wavelength as me!

7:05 am

Eva

7:06 am

SunnFlower

babbler it sounds like another of those wet lovers

7:07 am

Paddytt

Babbler, build on your Se4/7

7:07 am

Anj

Beep, long wave, what with all these f4/10 about lol

Eva, it's the short version of electromagnetic fields :)

7:08 am

Eva

Thanks anj! I always breath a sigh of relief when you're around to supplement my feeble brain.

7:08 am

Anj

Goooood clues people, Keep 'em coming :)

7:08 am

beepbeep

That se7 is nuts - I just got it thanks to all the f 4 / 10 talk.

Anj

Eva, i'm running on peppermint tea today. Seems to be doing the trick for now :)

beepbeep

Are there two c7s? Can anyone confirm for me please?

7:09 am

Babbler

C7/56 x 2

7:10 am

Eva

Maybe I should try it- but not peppermint. Some lemon zinger might do the trick.

7:10 am

SunnFlower

there's an f5/16 that's rubbish compared to me there' a distinct Italian feel to this grid, has anyone else noticed?

7:10 am

beepbeep

Oh crumbs, thanks Babbler.

7:12 am

beepbeep

Ferrari, I'd probably say it's a very "pesci" grid actually!

7:12 am

Babbler

oops, I just realised..... I've only got one c7.
Any hints on the other c7/56 please kind people? I've got the c7, plural of c6 (no def).

I'm using IE and found that if I go back one screen on the chat log to the prev 50, and then <show all messages>, that I don't have any problem scrolling thru to read hints. It seems to kill the auto refresh. Of course I can't see the most recent chat, but that's ok.

sa9/108 is plural of sa7/64 -- a type of swimming creature. first part of the word sounds like a tool used to cut wood

11:02 am

lola100

sa9: thing you cut wood with and things that swim in the sea :)

11:02 am

Anj

A bit more laid back than Cutting Jade. I need to hear some more of their stuff really :)
I reckon you're going to love most of the bands in my chart. If you click on 'Show Top Artists' you get to see more than the top 50 :)

I think the nerds are too busy keeping the system running to spend time worrying about internet use. They are probably monitoring, I've never heard of any getting in trouble over it. As long as you don't stray to the naughty side of the internet, I guess...*polishes tin foil halo*

Hugs, we had the same problem, but the decision was left to local managers as if the IT team had got their way the company would have lost 75% of the staff.
Mind you, one company over here *who shall remain nameless* found that over 50% of their files were copies of the face of their advertising campaign in a compromising position lol. They had to declare a general amnesty - 5 days to delete or we delete you sort of thing.

1:58 pm

how many words do i need 4 2days 1?

1:58 pm

Oh, I've been babbling for a month or so. I don't worry too much about those non-words that litter the grid - but it has been nice to occasionally finish. However, not today.

Sorry to ask the same question again, but I had to leave and couldn't find my post. Is there a list of t words somewhere?

Besides, in California, you can be "let go" without any kind of reason or justification. They don't have to put any effort into finding a reason to fire someone.

Desperately seeking a complete and correct stats list. One I have is incorrect.

2:03 pm

Anj

Hugs, I thought it was an urban myth, but one of their employess came to work for us and confirmed it was true.

Torgone, you can't do that over here. HR have that sewn up tight lol

2:04 pm

Hugabugs

It's very hard to fire anyone here too. You need a file 6" thick and serious charges.

2:04 pm

Sheila Rae

thanks Hugabugs. I just got back from getting the t list and saw yours. If I had waited---patience, patience on my part. :)

2:05 pm

Anj

Same here. You either resign, or you really need out quick, go and lamp the manager

2:06 pm

DarleenMB

eh? "lamp" the manager" translation to american, please :-)

2:07 pm

Anj

Darleen, right hook or b*tch slap, depending on the gender lol

2:07 pm

DarleenMB

gotcha, thanks!

2:07 pm

Hugabugs

Here, if you resign or do managed to get fired, then you don't qualify for unemployment insurance.

2:09 pm

Oh great, so they've got you coming and going :/

Right cluesies for the 7s part 1:

ar7/28 - plural of a record label that has Maroon 5, Sarah McLachlan, Silvertide, Faithless on their roster (ar6/18 is the singular)

ar7/28 - sounds like slang for the upper class french who got the chop during the Revolution. Same as first ar7 but last vowel is different - also gives an ar6/18)

as7/48 - usually secluded residences of a religious community and its guru. Sounds like tree plus male sheep (singular is an ar6/33)

2:17 pm

sfneil

suebhoney add a letter to the ma4/6 above it

2:17 pm

Bugzy

Thanx Hugabugs... I will conquer those pesky c's!!!
sueb - for the 2nd ma5/14, change the last letter of your ma5/20

2:19 pm

Hugabugs

You're quite welcome, Bugzy!

2:22 pm

DarleenMB

2:23 pm

Anj

Cluesies for the 7s part II@

ch7/56 - no def - 22nd leter of greek alphabet plus red planet (ch6/39 is the singular)

ch7/56 - could be a sacramental annointing (that's the ch6/39) but looks like someone with a magnetic personality or charm less the first a ;)

fi7/60 - no def - take your fi4/7 (italian car maker), change the t for an s, and add greek letter no.22 :)

2:26 pm

boreetos

2:26 pm

Judi

Thanks, Anj. I are lerned now.

2:28 pm

Chessy

2:31 pm

Sheila Rae

2:33 pm

Anj

Cluesies for 7s part III:

fr7/52 - A stream or spring of fresh water. Builds on your fr5/22 - new, novel, fruity...

2:40 pm

boreetos

"Christ" is a registered trademark

2:40 pm

Minski

Mine either. I think Christ is considered a proper name and therefore unacceptable.

2:43 pm

2:44 pm

Anj

Cluesies for the 7s, part IV:

se7/52 - hybrid of person in bondage or sevitude (se4/7) and aquatic thingy. Sounds like it should ride the waves ;)

st7/40 - Jay & Silent Bob have these Secret ones in New Jersey & L.A. lol (builds on your st5/16)

sw7/52 - Fingerbobs had a famous body one (sw6/36) then pluralise it. Also means to chnage & correct a car's direction to avoid something...like the rest of the traffic if you've just jumped a red...

th7/48 - a compound C6H12N2S4 used as a fungicide. Sounds like top part of a leg plus those male sheep. (singular is th6/33)

ok anj, got the mexican band one, but the fenny one is tripping me up. is the base for it the m5/20 for swamp?

4:42 pm

lola100

munner- with the ar5/10's: one ends in the shortened form of sibling and the other ends in the word for go up without the last letter. Hope that makes sense!

4:44 pm

mo

thanks Anj too

4:44 pm

Anj

boreetos, not quite - it used the same first four letter as the mexican band which is a big hint :)

Cheers mo :)

4:45 pm

boreetos

sweet. thanks anj. that's a word without the last two letters as well.

4:46 pm

mo

and thanks Mary

lola100. Sorry I didn't notice your clue earlier, the chat log seemed to be flying and with family wanting my attention it all went pearshaped for a while (tsk I hate being interupted) Many thanks It did the trick for me. I would never have thought of that as a word

4:48 pm

lola100

You are most welcome mu :)

4:55 pm

Anybody enjoy Waking the Dead pt 2? I thought it was excellent

4:56 pm

Munner

4:58 pm

spellit

ar 5/10 The accented or long part of a metrical foot

4:59 pm

Munner

Lola, I got it. A little bit of monkey typing always gets me through! Thanks for the a clues. Got those little buggers now.

4:59 pm

Moozey

spellit - I saw some of it but missed the 1st part so it was all a bit confusing lol

4:59 pm

Anj

Munner, think of actor Ed H...... who did the Abyss, Right Stuff, Pollock Enemy at the Gates. The missing bit is the ar5/10

5:00 pm

spellit

Yes you needed to see pt 1 - I don't know why they all keep working for Boyd!

5:02 pm

lola100

spellit-I find boyd sooo irritating that I don't know why I watch!!! Was good tho'!

5:03 pm

spellit

lola - Boyd is intensely annoying but I can't stop watching

5:04 pm

lola100

I did laugh tho' when he grabbed the mike and yelled at the doc during the interview!

5:04 pm

spellit

Yes really over the top. How badly did they all treat the French girl

5:05 pm

torgone

Is that one of those British shows on British tv?

5:05 pm

lola100

Hi torgone :) Are you feeling left out? :)

5:05 pm

spellit

Yes it's about a team that relooks at dead criminal cases usually murders

5:08 pm

torgone

Left out? Nah. I don't get to watch too much tv anyway. sounds interesting, though. We don't get British tv over here.

We see it, but we don't get it.

Buzzybee

5:32 pm

Anj

Lola, don't worry babe, they will change regularly as the stats engine munches more of your music lol.

Munner, the ch6 is the singular of the ch7/56
the cr6 is your cr4/6 saying thank you ;)

5:32 pm

torgone

lianakate, mab - thanks! I do try. That stuff is lifted from various blues tunes. You don't have to like beer to get along with me, but I've found enough of it will blur your vision so won't mind looking at me.

5:33 pm

lianakate

i desperately need the two last w's...i have all the common ones..and have monkey typed myself goofy..(so whats new)

5:33 pm

5:34 pm

mab

I'll bet you're adorable and don't know it.

5:34 pm

lola100

munner- I think the ch6/39 is one letter less than your last ch7/56 :)

5:35 pm

Munner

5:35 pm

Hey torgone, what's the difference between a dog and a fox?

Sorry for the delay, Jo. Yes it's based on a photo of myself at Jungfraujoch in Switzerland this summer.

5:44 pm

Anj

Jo, Can I pitch in there?? I've had a woman use beer as an excuse for a convenient memory lapse, despite a roomful of people who were there telling her what she said/did :/
That ruined a perfectly good friendship lol

5:44 pm

artlady

that had no bearing on your question, tho. ;-)

5:44 pm

Blaze

Thanks Munner the chat log is so busy I lost the first post....

5:45 pm

Jo

Wonderful work, and a great story too ArtLady! :-)
Ooooo ..... Anj, that's kinda a bummer ....

5:50 pm

Munner

Buzzybee, I do have that one. sorry I left it off.

5:50 pm

Anj

Jo, story of my life lol. No big deal tho... she turned out to be the sort that uses a friendship to get by and then drops a person when it no longer suits her. And that includes her girlfriends. Scary attitude for a 30 something :/

Jo

The F's are killing me ... at any clues on the F 7/60?

5:59 pm

Anj

shallow, spoilt, selfish and immature, and only heard what she wanted to believe. Reality was a poor second to that :/ She couldn't deal with me because I said exactly what I thought. She never had that control over me. Never been a doormat lol
It's sad tho', because I always try to see the best in people but some folk are just way beyond driven...

6:00 pm

Blaze

Jo it is a strange word meaning totally disaster....

start with base word then add enidng of martial art Tai ***

6:01 pm

Blaze

Munner I have that one(s)

6:11 pm

lola100

Aah, chin up babe. If it's any consolation most of us have a someone like that (or if we're unlucky, a few of them).

6:12 pm

Munner

Blaze, do you need to get off your ar 4/4 and walk around to clear your head?

6:12 pm

Malise

fi/7 is italian for liquid containers - it's a word only italians use - so why is it here I wonder ...

6:13 pm

Blaze

munner I have that one too

6:13 pm

Munner

Still begging for sc 5/18 pointers.

Hi kristin, take the a off the ch7/56 for ch6

The cr6 is the cr4 with added thanks on the end ;)

6:17 pm

Munner

Haze1558, isn't that sc 4/4 and 5/14? I need sc 5/18 and 6/30.

6:18 pm

lola100

You're on Anj. We can trade horror stories and I'll end up listening to Ezio for hours...lol!

6:19 pm

Haz1558

You're right, I was wrong - add the top of a cup to your sc.

6:19 pm

Haz1558

It has to do with fabric apparently.

6:21 pm

Munner

(On knees, begging for apologies) I already had all the sc words. No wonder your clues sounded familiar. (Going downstairs to kitchen to lashing myself with a wet noodle)

6:22 pm

Haz1558

No! Not the wet noodle!

6:59 pm

Any clues for the last ch6/39 and 7/56? I'm beyond stuck. I've resorted to what you call monkey typing. It's not a good thing.

6:59 pm

torgone

kristin, one is a leather strap used for punishment (ouch), the other is someone who shoots a marble(?). If you have the ta4/7 they come from that.

6:59 pm

kristin

anybody have a second letter on the 2 e's and 4 h's?

7:00 pm

artlady

Help..I can't find a single ma between the first 4/6 and the 2nd!!

7:01 pm

torgone

gramma, the 6 is a word for "holy oil" or Jesus' last name with the last letter changed. Add a vowel on the end for the 7

Hi all, just back to finish up! I've got a measly 3 left -- the si5/10 and si6/18 combo, but I just can't see it. And I feel like a dope but whatever the dratted e4 is. Any help/clues much appreciated!

7:15 pm

periwinkle

artlady, ma5/14 is a woman's name

7:16 pm

melissamay

Whoops, e clues posted when I wasn't looking, but I still need the esses. Thank you!

7:17 pm

gramma

Mellisamay, si5/10 is the singular of si6/18

7:17 pm

melissamay

And why o why do I always miss that em4 when it's in so many puzzles??

7:17 pm

torgone

ma8/75 is kind of Mexican music or band.
ma6/33 is an old word for boggy, fenny - variant of an ma5/20; and its plural.

7:18 pm

melissamay

gramma, sorry, I have neither si, the 5 or the 6!

7:20 pm

torgone

si5 & si6 can be found as an acronym, but I've also heard them used as an obsolete term of respect for a gentleman.

7:20 pm

robert240

any help with si5/10???

7:21 pm

gramma

Mellisamay, clue was posted from me to munner at 6:36

7:21 pm

kristin

sorry the si5 and 6 have no definition - think of a mountain range that starts with s and leave out the 'e', then make it plural for the 6

7:22 pm

torgone

Really Obvious Clue Alert
si5/10 = Sleep Induction / Rapid ReAwakening

7:22 pm

sorry make the desert not mountain!

7:22 pm

Ah, sorry! Thanks gramma and torgone! I'm used to seeing that "term of respect" with an h ending. Again, thanks much, that's the last of it for me!

7:22 pm

9:04 pm

lianakate

one of the Ws is a poor forlorn child..all hungry and pale..orphanlike.

9:04 pm

torgone

The main thing the stats panel gives you is the starting points for those words - often just enough of a hint when combined with the other clues available.

9:05 pm

Hugabugs

nostrich - you're probably missing an em4/9 from the top E

9:05 pm

nostrich

If I read this right, it says there is one E in the grid, right? It says I havn't found it, but I already got an E. Presumably something isn't working right tonight?

9:06 pm

Hugabugs

There are 2 E's in the grid. Top Row, and far right row going down.

9:06 pm

2 e's: one starting from the upper right; one from the lower right.

With 25 minutes & 28 words to go, I'm hitting the high spots now...

11:36 pm

Doogle

There are 2 Ar7/28s, and they're both plurals of Ar6/18s. All that's different is the final vowel of the 6s.

11:39 pm

Jera

Yay! I had the record label, needed the other set... thanks!
