12:28 am

Doogle

Heya Debs.
Heya Hugabugs.

Oh, I just crept in while you glanced away. Been playing Scrabble and Chess for much of the evening. And *finally* finished the latest Dan Simmons book. Yum.

12:29 am

Hugabugs

Doog - do you play the SOWPODS Scrabble?

12:33 am

Doogle

I currently play most of my games by e-mail at the Pixie Pit, and my gaming partner and I do use SOWPODS. It's new for me, though, and it's taking some getting used to all the new 2-letter words! Especially the ones that I've wanted to play for yours, like 'ed' that are suddenly legal.

12:34 am

Hugabugs

It won't take you long to get to know them... I was addicted to Scrabble for quite some time.

12:34 am

spatialbean

another question...

You're welcome zoom... Just 11 left to go... then I can hit the hay... Or maybe I'll finish off tomorrow. I'll see how frustrating it gets.

2:48 am

zoom

wow - almost there! is it full of obscure words today?

2:49 am

Hugabugs

The majority are normal words, I'd say. And a lot of repeat weird ones we've seen often.

2:52 am

i've just started but i'd really like to finish today - this is about the only day i get enough time (& i need loads!)

2:53 am

Hugabugs

a6/24

It does take lots of time. I've pretty much given up on TV and watching movies now!

2:55 am

zoom

i know, it takes over, if my family 've lost me, they always know where to look. i've only found an a5 so far.

2:57 am

Hugabugs

I'm down to 5... 3 n's, 1 p and 1 L

Hugabugs

3:55 am

zoom

you're right karen, but we wouldn't love it as much if it was easy - or would we :)

3:57 am

karenth

who knows! couldn't play yesterday had no babble on screen, got very shakey and strange lol

3:59 am

sprite

Hugs, finally found it. It restores the fishy babble demon and starts with the beer word. Any of various brilliantly colored damselfishes of the genus Abudefduf, especially the sergeant major.

3:59 am

ExWren

You didn't miss anything - yesterday was toooo big

4:01 am

sprite

Problems with the log, it didn't refresh and I did not see my own messages, but now I do. Hope I did not repeat anyone unknowingly (is that a word?)

4:07 am

sprite

Funny word, that C9! Thought that could never go well, two of them on one ship?

4:07 am

zoom

i'm looking for an h4/10 to complete the h's - can anyone offer a clue please?

4:08 am

sprite

Zoom, it is a very merry one.

4:09 am

Dianne

zoom - do you have the "funny" one?

4:12 am

karenth

is the 9 a follow on of the 8???

4:12 am

Dianne

I'm trying to finish the F, E and O words.
I have f4/4 and f7/40
e4/9 and e5/10
O4/6 and O4/4
Any help on the ones I am missing?

4:13 am

zoom

have i lost my sense of humour this morning - can't see it - aaagh!

4:13 am

sprite

Dianne, time for a break :)
There are only 2 F-words.

4:14 am

sprite

Zoom: 2x same syllable.

4:14 am

Dianne

Sprite - now you know why this game is so difficult for me - OMG!

4:15 am

zoom

how blind can i be?! slaps head! thanks for the help.

4:15 am

sprite

Dianne, before the stats panel I managed to look for over an hour for more words, only to discover then that I had finished some time ago. Don't feel bad! :D

4:15 am

zoom

dianne, you're looking for an e4/4 & an o6/33.

4:16 am

zoom

you've finished sprite? how long did it take you?

4:16 am

Lijuan

can i have the second letter to c9/90?

4:17 am

sprite

Finished this one? Heavens no, I am just over halfway. I meant a grid before we could go pro and get that nifty stats panel.

4:17 am

sprite

Lijuan, think 'together'.

4:20 am

Dianne

Zoom - thanks for the help on the E and O - I found them both:)

4:21 am

zoom

phew! thought you were all done & dusted!

4:21 am

zoom

you're welcome dianne

4:22 am

sprite

Not me, I am getting there, but the going is getting slower with every word. I liked this grid, though. Some very normal words that come as real surprises :)

4:23 am

zoom

does the c9 build on the c7? sorry if this has already been covered in the logs.

4:24 am

sprite

Zoom and Lijuan, start with the C7/44 and then take the person he is arguing with.

4:25 am

sprite

Sorry, that should have read *a C7/44*

4:25 am

zoom

there're 2 c7/44s?

4:26 am

sprite

At least, I haven't finished the Cs yet. There is a Ca and a Co. You need the first for the 9.

4:26 am

Dianne

Tackling the Ts now and just need one more. I have
T4/4
6/24
6/24
4/4
6 /24

4/4
Anyone know what I am missing?

Sorry I don't have the big C word.

4:27 am

sprite

Ta5/10

4:28 am

davetins

Either ta or ti

4:29 am

sprite

If you have given your list in order of appearance, then it is Ta.

4:32 am

Dianne

Sprite - I was looking to put that word in but didn't think it would work - because I was starting with the wrong T. Thanks for th ehelp.

4:36 am

sprite

The log was very helpful for me, thank you all! That O6 was beyond me, but noodling helps if you know points and starting letter.
109 words / 4.86 / 1654 points.

4:43 am

zoom

amazing sprite, you put us all to shame,
i've just passed the half way mark & must go & do stuff before having another go. still looking for the c9!

4:45 am

sprite

You'll love the C9 once you found it, zoom. I left some clues in the log that should be helpful. Think bossy seaguys.

4:46 am

zoom

before you go sprite, how many c7s are there? i have 2 - one to do with bossy seaman but can't see how it becomes a 9.

4:52 am

sprite

There are 4x C7, in order:

Ca7/36
Ca7/44
Co7/ 44
Co7/36

You have the right one in mind, zoom. Give him someone to share responsibility with. Or start with your first Co4/8.

4:53 am

Dianne

Zoom - I don't have all the Cs but I have c7/44 x 2 and C7/36. I think I read earlier that there is another C7/36.

4:54 am

zoom

well that's definite, you can't possibly leave sprite - need you too much- many thanks.

4:56 am

zoom

oh no, visitors- this game makes you soooo antisocial - back later.

5:01 am

5:22 am

sprite

LOL Anj, my eldest will probably find that funny too :)

7:00 am

Eva

Sherb- what I've been trying over and over again is the girl's name, followed by a digit ending in two vowels, and I keep getting denied. I'm spelling it the way it's spelled in the dictionary but obviously something's wrong. What am I missing?

Hi Ferrari, no i haven`t. We always seem to stick to the Raj up Scar lane or Cinnamon Lodge in Meltham which is where we went last night! You end up paying more in taxi`s otherwise :)

7:18 am

Anj

lol Lo, that's the idea. Stats are really just numbers in the first 12 months. After that they really start to mean something. Mine are all weird 'cos i'm uploading loads of stuff unto iTunes and playing it, although Cutting Jade are rapidly rising up my top 300 :)

My hubby would chuck a freddy if i was on here all night!!! He thinks i`m on it too long as it is :/

Yup, Religious Science. Only now the teacher wants us to call it 'Morals and Ethics'. *sighs*

Thanks Anj, will keep that one in mind! Er...next time I'm opening champagne on a plane, that is. Which may well happen, given the father's lack of skill :)

8:59 am

lola100

Oh Anj, be gentle with lola today :)

9:00 am

sproing

Hello all -- I see we have a do-able grid today

9:02 am

macadam

can I have a list of the 7`s please.

9:02 am

Anj

Hi Sproing :)

Oh Miyavi, if you are going to spray champagne over all & sundry, make sure there are no muslims sitting nearby. Friend of mine did that and spent the next 8hrs of his flight apologising

9:03 am

Anj

Macadam, you've gone purple :)

9:03 am

lola100

*whimpers and nods*

9:03 am

sproing

mmm... champagne...

9:03 am

Miyavi_fan

Really? Brings back memories of the time my sister forgot she had her ipod in on the flight to America and yelled at me that the guy in front of her had dandruff *sigh*

9:03 am

macadam

Got the blues cos I`m having problems with this grid.

9:04 am

sproing

9:04 am

9:06 am

calicomo

I have an7, ca7 and fo7. What other 7's am I missing?

9:07 am

Anj

That's my girl. Come back for a quick check up in 60 mins. Of course, we can always skip that and go straight for the malpractise :D

9:07 am

Uneaixoise

9:07 am

sproing

Miyavi, I can only imagine... on my honeymoon I managed to spill a glass of fizzy all over my hubby but miraculously it was his and not mine... he was unimpressed :) He got another glass, but had to sit on a transatlantic flight smelling like booze

9:08 am

lola100

Hi minski :)

9:11 am

SA_Hoofbite

Hey guys.

Any tips for a new player?

9:12 am

sproing

9:12 am

Minski

CO9 off the CA7

9:12 am

sproing

Une, that's horrible!!!!

9:12 am

Miyavi_fan

Ouch...having smelt baby sick, I can sympathize with that

9:12 am

speedfreak

Good Morning everyone: It is 10 am here promised my son I would take him shopping after a quick peek at Babble and I've spent the last 1/2 hr. reading and enjoying the log (also typed in a few words) have to go be back later....love all the airplane stories

sproing

9:14 am

bodkinz

my tips would be... start rom the top laeft and try to work out all words for that letter.. when totally out of ideas.. move on to the next letter... then look for clues for the ones you missed on here
http://www.onelook.com helps if you get a list with first and second letters

hope that helps

9:15 am

Uneaixoise

most embarrassing airplane moment: I walked all the way from the restrooms in back to the very front seat with back of skirt tucked into pantyhose!

9:16 am

9:16 am

sproing

Une -- that's one of my worst nightmares...

9:17 am

Miyavi_fan

ouch! My worst time personally (because that last one was harder on my sister) was when I was...quite a bit smaller, and when the captain came out to talk to us, I yelled "Mum, who's flying the plane!?" really loudly...cringe...

9:17 am

Alleyn

Babbler

I envy you, Miyavi....!

11:26 am

Boysaway

Thanks Sherb and Babbler

11:26 am

Babbler

not everything is addictive. It's just that some of us get addicted to things easily. (well, that's true for me). Of course there are mega addictive things. Sugar being the no.1 evil.....

11:27 am

Miyavi_fan

Hehehe...*tries hard not to gloat*

Happiness is everything :) Age is just a number...

lol Anj...it's that slightly strange, verging on dirty-minded sense of humour! Though my sense of humour is very immature...this naff joke my friend told me had me in stitches for hours...I just wish I knew why...

11:37 am

Babbler

tell me the naff joke, Miy!! Pleeeez!??!? I love naff jokes!

11:37 am

Boysaway

Miyavi fan, I don't beileve for one moment that you are the age you are claiming in your profile!

11:38 am

Anj

You know I just half a person when you're not about babe :')

11:38 am

Miyavi_fan

Okay, but I warn you, it goes off the scale in terms of naffness...there were two sausages in a frying pan, and the first one says "cor, getting a bit hot in here!" and the other one says "blimey! a talking sausage!"

11:38 am

sherb

Miyavi - your spelling and punctuation are too good for a 13 year old...

11:38 am

Boysaway

Exactly sherb!!!

11:39 am

Miyavi_fan

Why not, Boys? Does my youthful charm and exuberance not shine through?! (ahem)

11:39 am

Anj

*sighs* i'm I'M... *shakes head*

Miyavi - lol :D

11:39 am

Haz1558

If a 13 year old is taught spelling and punctuation there is no reason why they should not be proficient. The problem in this country is that spelling and grammar are no longer taught properly!

11:40 am

Babbler

lovely naff joke!!!! thx Miyavi, I'll giggle over that for the rest of the day!

You're very confident for a 13 year old. But I suppose kids today are much more sophisticated than they were in my day....

11:40 am

Duck goes into a bar and says to the barman "Pint of guinness and a packet of cheesy wotsits please"
"Sure" says the barman "that'll be Â£5"
The duck pays up and is about to waddle off when the barman says in the way of small talk "you know, we don't get many talking ducks in here" and the duck says "i'm not bl**dy surprised at those prices"

2:15 pm

lola100

lol! You are welcome jakes-mum :)

2:15 pm

mab

Speed: I see from whence your name cometh!

Lola: I love your icon; is it from a Georgia O'Keefe?

2:16 pm

Anj

Miy, just your everyday tale of a schoolgirl with paranormal powers lol

2:16 pm

jakes-mum

And anj you are also a gorgeous darling of a person. T's are finally finished!!

2:16 pm

lola100

mab- thank you! I don't know.....Anj found it for me by image googling my name :)

2:17 pm

speedfreak

mab: read your bio and see you are from MA where exactly? I am south shore near Plymouth

2:17 pm

Miyavi_fan

Like you say, Anj, just another day at the office lol. But will it freak me out if I watch it? I scare easily and since seeing the Ring I've decided to be more careful!

2:18 pm

mab

I would do try that, Lola, but with a name like Eve I have good idea what I would get.

2:20 pm

lola100

mab- you should have seen what I got!!! :O

2:21 pm

Anj

Hey Speed, i'm from Plymouth too, although the one on this side of the pond :)

2:22 pm

Anj

Mab, Lola won't use the one I like ...lol

2:22 pm

Miyavi_fan

Oooh, I'm Plymouthian by birth

2:22 pm

lola100

LOL! Do you see I put my fishnets on for you babe ;)

2:23 pm

mab

Oooo, Anj. Have you had it enlarged and posted on you wall?

2:23 pm

Anj

Miy, it's not a shocker. Stephen King is a bit more subtle than that. On no account read The Survivor tho'...now that freaked me out :(

2:24 pm

lola100

mab- do not encourage him!

2:24 pm

Dachef

OMG - pitta is so a word. I had one for lunch! Incidentally, hi guys! howz everyone?

2:24 pm

Anj

Mab, no I'm patiently waiting for the real thing ;)

2:25 pm

lola100

Hi dachef :)
Try dropping a T ;)

2:25 pm

Anj

Miy, another icon??? Are you from Plymouth???

2:25 pm

mab

Oh dear, look at what I've started.

Dachef! Back from Hong Kong or wherever?

2:25 pm

Miyavi_fan

Uh huh...I read the book but I've heard baaaad things about the film

2:26 pm

Chessy

Hi Dachef - good thanx.
yes, I try pitta every time - sometimes I try typing it in v e r y slowly in case that works!

2:26 pm

Dachef

bugger. that means I have to change my menu, again. Cheers Lola!

2:26 pm

Miyavi_fan

Yup, most of family is still up (down?) there.

2:26 pm

Chessy

Dachef, how was the cricket dinner at the Albert Hall?

2:26 pm

lola100

LOL! Yeah chessy, you can sometimes trick the grid that way :D

2:27 pm

Anj

Miy, whereabouts?? I'm a Laira boy myself :)

2:28 pm

Miyavi_fan

Whereabouts? Good question...

2:28 pm

Dachef

the Albert Hall do was a bit special - highlight of the evening was visiting the little boys room and having a pee in between Nick hancock and Andy Flintoff. Thats definately never happened to me b4!

2:29 pm

Miyavi_fan

Plymstock I think...maybe. Moved away when I was ridiculously small...and yes, another icon. I know, I know...

2:31 pm

jakes-mum

List of L's Please (grovel grovel)

2:31 pm

speedfreak

Miyavi I feel soooo computer illiterate since I have not even figured out how to do one icon and you change every five minutes!!!

2:32 pm

Dachef

Anj - with reference to your earlier post - definately buy the Red Dwarf DVDs - the commentaries are actually funnier than the programs!! Fantastic stuff.

2:32 pm

Miyavi_fan

Heh! I had to ask someone how to get an icon, it kept rejecting me...but now I have one, I'm exploiting it ^_^

2:32 pm

Anj

Miy that's where my aunt/uncle live. Folks are still in Laira, cousins in London & Bath. Small world...

2:32 pm

patact

clue please for the oc6???

2:32 pm

mab

Speed: I find it difficult too. Could only get the site to take the one I have -- too theological.

2:32 pm

jakes-mum

Never mind with the L's I have them now

2:33 pm

Miyavi_fan

Small indeedy...though not small enough for english shops to stock j-rock, I notice *sulks*

2:34 pm

Hi Dachef...as in each series rather than the full whack in one go??

mab: where are you located in Mass?? Or do you not want to tell which is ok

2:37 pm

mab

From D.C., but now Northampton.

2:37 pm

Dachef

as for waiting for the boxset - they still have to bring out series 7/8 individually, so you may be some time. Its a collection well worth having - especially when you've seen them so many times you can spot the in-jokes!

2:37 pm

lola100

patact- the last part is your ho4/7.

2:38 pm

mab

Hate it. I am a city woman, I discover.

2:41 pm

Divorce brought me here. I thought I could live inexpensively but found the cost of living high and the wages low. Not to mention there are fewer jobs for one with indistinct skills. Are you a Massachusettsian, Speed?

2:46 pm

Babbler

thx Lola!

2:47 pm

Chessy

Dachef I think it's cos there's no plurals or many compound words - each word is different - if you know what I mean!

2:47 pm

Babbler

anyone got a breakdown of Ls handy? I have 3, dunno what the other 2 are. thx!

2:48 pm

checking my icon, my 16 yr. old came home and helped me

2:48 pm

JaxH

Has anyone got a list of P's please!

2:48 pm

mab

Dachef, I may be very bad at this, but I have found about half the words obscure today.

2:48 pm

Dachef

yeh - your natural train of thought becomes disjointed because after one word you have to go in a totally different direction to find another. A bit like going on the pull in Bournemouth!

2:49 pm

Babbler

s'alright...... I've completed the Ls instinctively!!!

2:49 pm

Liana: it's so easy once you do it. I define brandyjack's stats (hold down left mouse button while moving it), then click on edit and click Copy. Go to your document, click edit again, and click Paste. Then you can minimize the size of the document so you just see it's title at the bottom of the page and you can call it up whenever you need it.

5:27 pm

Only through practice, lianakate! ;-) If you figure it out, it'll make this so much easier. Happy Babbling!

Where, Brandjack? I tried the link, but the page expired. do you have a link?

cbr's link has a space in the middle that you have to eradicate first.

No you're not, Jo. Everyone (meaning me, too) needs a little help once in a while.

A warning about A2Z, it doesn't always have all the words. Whereas puzzlers.org does have them all.

6:24 pm

Deutsch

brandyjack, so true about a2z, but wow about puzzlers.org. I plan to explore that site more on Monday.

The one caveat about puzzlers.org is remembering to select the Enable dictionary.

The co 7 is like the word 'to give permission' but with a different letter in the middle.

6:38 pm

Jera

Thank you... I must be babbled to have missed trying that as a possibility... sheesh

6:42 pm

Haz1558

My final word - it's the co6. Any clues/letter values would be appreciated.

6:43 pm

Munner

Any clues please for co 6/39 and co7/36?

6:44 pm

brandyjack

Co6 is a seashell that you can blow into (with a vowel tqacked on the end) and co7 is something you put other things into.

6:44 pm

snowyowl

co6/39 - its the shell+ a

6:45 pm

Haz1558

Blessings be upon you! I've finished and can now go to bed!

6:45 pm

Thanks, snowy and brandjack. I had tried that one with a different vowel on the end.

6:46 pm

snowyowl

Congrats Haz- It was worth hanging on then!

6:47 pm

Haz1558

Yes - the annoying thing is that no-one else in the house realises the significance of my triumph...

6:48 pm

snowyowl

I know the feeling - everyone here thinks I've lost it completely - even the grandkids!

6:49 pm

I think I have marked off the wrong "t" words. Would someone please tell me which ones I'm missing:

How close are you to finishing, Snowyowl?

6:49 pm

lianakate

well, am back to try to finish, BUT..the notepad thingy wont let me cut and paste!!!!! Any suggestions?..This is new to me, but recommended by JO so i dont have to write down everything by hand!!

6:50 pm

lianakate

i still have 19...sigh

6:51 pm

brandyjack

lianakate, you need to click at the start of the text, hold the button, drag it to the end of the text. and release. it should be higlighted blue. move the mouse to somewhere in the middle of the highlighter text, RIGHT-click and release, then choose copy. Move to the notepad window, rightclick and release, choose paste.

6:52 pm

snowyowl

I've still got 14 to go Haz - to tell you the truth I'm VERY tired & not trying very hard! I'm also listening to radio 7 while I'm babbling! I try to get to bed before 1.30 so we'll see

6:54 pm

Blaze

I could use an N list I am two short..... I have gone back over 100 messages and can not find anything. Or one of the famous Brandy Jack second letter lists would be even better. Thanks

6:55 pm

I wish you all the best for the rest of the night's babbling. Don't stay up too late, Snowyowl - there are still no fireworks when you finish!

periwinkle - a large venomous elapid snake of Australia & New Guinea

7:03 pm

Munner

peri - the first syllable sounds like the beginning of a martial arts class and the second is something you cook in

7:04 pm

Munner

LOL Snowy, now I know the definition. If my 8 year old grandson had been here, he could have told me. He loves snakes!

7:05 pm

thank you munner and snowyowl, I actually got it from munner's explicit clue.

7:05 pm

snowyowl

Munner ti4/4 is to do with colour, ti** your hair? I don't have the 5 sorry

7:05 pm

cbr1965

ti 4/4 - something you add to paint to change the hue
ti5/10 - a very large being or part of a specific large cruise ship of yore

7:06 pm

fo7 is a kind of soft cheese

7:22 pm

brandyjack

It's the Tradeshow time of year again. I tend to be out of town a bit. And with 18 hour days, babbling isn't possible. To answer lianakates' question more thoroughly, I frequently have to teach product managers how to use their products and sometimes that involves some pretty intricate and detailed steps.

7:23 pm

cbr1965

for the pi7 - take one of Columbuses three ships and add a negative response to the end

7:24 pm

Munner

periwinkle & brandyjack, my brain is not clever tonight. Can you give me more on the lo 6/33?

7:24 pm

periwinkle

never mind, found the ni/4 and no6

7:25 pm

Minski

Thanks CBR! You're awesome! Now I just have to find 67 4s, 5s, and 6s. No problem!

7:25 pm

cbr1965

I've got 34 left - happy to help if I can

7:25 pm

periwinkle

Munner, do you have the lo4/9, just add an ending. It was a guess for me. Never heard of the word.

7:26 pm

brandyjack

the lo6,33 stats with the lo4,9, but you need to use the one that stays at the top of the grid, and add a two letter ending that usually spcifies singular for a noun that starts with a vowel.

7:26 pm

Eva

I'm missing 2 a's coming from the second a. Can anyone give me some hefty hints?

7:26 pm

Minski

Also if you have the LO4/9 make sure you spell it going up and not going down.

7:26 pm

Munner

-periwinkle, I was going on the left instead of across the top. Thanks.

7:27 pm

I may eventually be able to spell specifies correctly tonight, but I'm not going to bet on it.....

7:40 pm

Eva,
the def for the An6/24 is - A projecting bracket that is used in classical architecture to carry the upper elements of a cornice; a console.
The An5/14 doesn't seem to have an easy def, bit just lop off the last vowel of the an6/24

7:40 pm

mab

Liana: I had same problem; just noodle with the spelling.

7:41 pm

Eva

lianakate, I went through that for what felt like eons earlier today. The spelling is different. try a double t near the end and it will work.

7:41 pm

At the time I entered it, it read an error msg. but if I try to reenter it, it reads that it is already there - which it is. Even Babble gets babbled sometimes!!!!

Ti6/24 - Tiny Tim and his Ti**** thru the Tulips.

9:29 pm

Dianne

Doogle - your terrific - thanks.

9:30 pm

brandyjack

Ta6/24 is a large snake, that sounds like it starts with martial arts (or a republic of china) and ends with something you would fry eggs in.

9:33 pm

CadFan

Oh for heavens sake - if I could only see through the tulips instead of stopping to smell.....

Thanks BrandyJck

9:33 pm

brandyjack

Doogle

Heya Deutsch! No, no hiking. Dim Sum with family followed by aggravating computer troubleshooting for my aunt, with a lost dog thrown in for good measure. You?

10:07 pm

Deutsch

Dogle, been trying to finish this game. Within 20 words. Argh. Did you find dog?

10:08 pm

Doogle

No, never found her. My aunt's dog Daisy got out through a hole in the fence while we were over at my grandmother's place and is still AWOL.

10:11 pm

Deutsch

sorry I misspelled, Doogle. Been having that problem all night. Hope Daisy finds her home soon.

10:16 pm

Minski

A hint for the IN6 please?

10:20 pm

Deutsch

Ni 5/10? Doogle? Maybe a rhyme?

10:21 pm

Deutsch

Minski, think monotone or singsong voice.
lame, I know. but you know this word

10:22 pm

Doogle

Ni5/10 is a synonym for radon. Probably rhymes with the Pi5/14.

10:22 pm

Minski

Thanks Deustch. You are right. I do know that word. Tired fingers I guess.

10:26 pm

Deutsch
