Lickety and everyone Hello. Lickety send my love to the Pres

Lickety, someone said I dont need to be pro to get the program to be able to only enter words one time, rather than have to double enter every time?

12:20 am

meliae - no - Pro users get the Babble Expert fireworks video. That's the only difference.

Hi, herin

Hi Jellen.

Are you moving far? Boyfriend getting better slowly. Thanks for askng!

3:39 am

So glad life is looking up for you. Did you get the email I sent a few days back?

3:40 am

where do you go to uni, pink?

3:40 am

no im moving to a place called hackney wick. Its near the olympic village that is being built for 2012 and Victoria Park, do you know it? How are you coping with it all?

3:41 am

I go to the University of East London in Stratford!

3:41 am

I nearly went to Queen Mary in Mile End :)

3:41 am

I've heard of hackney, but not Hackney Wick. Hope you;ll be very happy there.

3:44 am

I have never head of the Queen Mary Ata..why nearly?....Hydra it is very close to Bow and Stratford..its the nicest part of Hackney its quiet, residential and its a nice place to bring my baby up in. I did receive your email but i have been really busy with moving preparations and sort out various others, will reply and give the full 100 :)

3:45 am

Hi girls - and Pigeon

3:46 am

hey, lynxxx :-)

3:46 am

G'Day Lynxxx!!

3:46 am

its officially Queen Mary and Westfield, part of UCL. Well, I wanted to do marine biology, and QM had marine and freshwater biology degrees. I really liked it there until they said that fieldwork was done in the Thames ...

3:48 am

LOL, do fish even live in the Thames, its so dirty! That is enough to put any girl off...do you regret not going through with it?

3:49 am

exactly! I ended up going to Bangor and doing marine biology there which I adored. So that was fab. But I would have loved Queen Mary, I'm sure

3:49 am

Aloha Babblers!

3:49 am

Hi frannie!!!

3:49 am

aloha!

3:49 am

Hi Franny !

3:50 am

frannie!

3:50 am

hi une, lynxxx, pink, ata!

3:50 am

ata, do bad you couldn't do your fieldwork in Guam, our University had the best marine biology department.

3:51 am

marine biology... interesting! what does that consist of, other than the obvious?

3:51 am

I did a lot of PhD fieldwork in Australia and the Philippines. That made up for the Thames!

3:52 am

so what do you do now ata?

3:53 am

i wonder if the Thames is like our Ala Wai Canal? They dredged it 2 years ago and found a new species of blind shrimp that had evolved in the muck.

3:53 am

not a lot apart from the obvious really! Most marine biologists work either in fisheries or coastal ecology. I sort of veered off the normal career ladder and went and did my PhD in fossil fish, and I still work on fossil fishies now

3:53 am

sounds about right, Fran!

3:53 am

thames is in the grid. :-)

3:54 am

yes that wouldn't surprise me fran if they found blind fishes in the Thames

3:55 am

yeah, that shrimp was an ugly little thing

3:56 am

not edible i take it...in saying that who would eat it lol

3:57 am

here's a picture http://www.granneman.com/blog/ wp-content/shrimp.jpg

3:57 am

ugly little thing!

3:58 am

yep! :-) definitely not edible pink!

4:00 am

off the subject, but don't you think it's great we can talk to each other half way across the world and find pictures about the subject in an instant to share?

4:00 am

i just love technology

4:01 am

its wonderful!

4:01 am

its all too amazing isn't Fran - and even more so for an antique like me

4:02 am

aw lynxxx, your pineapple doesn't look a day over 3 days old, you don't seem ancient at all. :-)

4:03 am

TY

4:05 am

does anyone have the 2nd en7/28 please?

4:06 am

not I pink, only 97 words so far

4:06 am

thanks frannie

4:07 am

en7.28 is to beg or plead

4:07 am

(but may not be the second!)

4:07 am

thanks lynxxx! needed the last part of that too.

4:08 am

thanks lynxxx it was the second one :)

4:11 am

Just had to go away. Back now. Atalante, i went to Bangor too!!! I studied English there. Way before you, no doubt.

4:11 am

hi hydra!

4:11 am

Hi Fran. How's things?

4:12 am

you did, hydra?! isnt it a lovely place to study

4:12 am

just great hydra. :-)

4:13 am

It was a beautiful place. I did all my studying on Benllech beach. My sister went there after me and started mountain climbing. She still does it at the age of 57.

4:13 am

Glad things are good for you, Fran. I'm OK too.

4:13 am

I spent most of my time there walking up mountains too

4:14 am

...singing "the hills are alive....I can see it now

4:14 am

Oh yes!

4:14 am

Actually, I spent more of my time in the pub.

4:14 am

lolol

4:16 am

hydra, didn't know you had a blog. i just added you to my RSS feeds.

4:16 am

sounds familiar. but we lived in the pubs over in menai bridge rather than bangor

4:17 am

We went there sometimes. Most of the time, though, we were in the Castle, or another one, The Ship I think, where they had a folk club. I played guitar and sang.

4:17 am

My blog has been a bit depressing lately, Fran. I must liven it up! Have you got one?

4:18 am

was the Ffridd bar there when you were there? On the old Ffriddoedd site?

4:18 am

so I guess pr6.24 is Hydra's icon?

4:18 am

no I don't hydra, i just read tons of them. :-)

4:18 am

Ooh, I must look for that pr word now.

lick tv for fun kid stuff ;-)

4:19 am

where is Bangor?

4:19 am

hi lickety!

4:19 am

hey lickety!

4:19 am

north wales, up by anglesey

4:19 am

lick the TV !!!! that's kinda kinky isn't it Lickety?

4:20 am

Were you in a hall of residence, Atalante?

4:20 am

i thought so, the pubs name Ffriddeod gave it away!

4:21 am

I was in Rathbone for my first year, and then up on the new Ffridd site for my 3rd. For the second I lived in Menai Bridge

4:21 am

I was in Old Hall my first year, then digs, then Rathbone for my third. I did a ouija board session and got the hall visited by a ghost!!!

4:22 am

yay for Rathbone!

4:22 am

Just got the word, lynxxx. Very good :)

4:23 am

I think they'd just started marine biology when I was there in the Sixties. (That makes me feel SOOOOO old)

4:23 am

from Llangollen

4:23 am

Some of my family came from Llangollen.

4:24 am

its a huge department now, a really really good one

4:24 am

strange a lot of people from same area

4:25 am

i'm watching lickety tv in another tab.

4:25 am

I went back to Bangor for a reunion four years ago. *I'd forgotten how beautiful it was. I'm still in touch with friends I made there. I'm godmother to the daughter of one of them who now reads the news on Radio 5Live. Yes, strange coincidene, Alex

4:26 am

yes, its gorgeous, went there last year and almost cried. really wanted to be back there!

4:26 am

Did you go on to work in the marine area, Atalante?

4:26 am

whats bangor like for a uni? I'm at a stage now where I'm unsure of what to do in life

4:27 am

hi y'all. ca i get some help on the ad8 (and ad9)?

4:27 am

It was fantastic when I was there, Alex. It's probably even better now. It's got the lot. Academia mingled with outdoor pursuits, being by the mountains and sea.

4:27 am

its fab. small. lovely.

4:28 am

There are other colleges in Bangor too, so it's not too insular.

4:28 am

I did my PhD on fishies. dead fishies at the Natural History Museum (after doing most of my 3rd year on fishing and fishies at Bangor). Then continued working on dead fishies

4:28 am

When did you move to NZ?

4:29 am

i want to stay local so its between Aberwystwyth, Bangor and Chester

4:29 am

I didn't. I'm still in the UK. forgot I had NZ flag! But I lived in NZ on and off the years.

4:29 am

bangor then, alex!

4:29 am

I don't know if you're male or female, but if you like football, go to Aber, Alex

4:30 am

aber is best for teaching and arts I *think*

4:30 am

male, 20, football mad.

4:30 am

Oh, of course, you're in Canterbury UK, not NZ. I remember we emailed one another. Still havent been down to Whitstable area.

4:30 am

i just saw mrp on lickety tv, she looks great.

4:31 am

urf yes, Canterbury in both places!

4:31 am

The Aber football and rugby teams used to slaughter Bangor when I was there!

4:31 am

I'm interested more in natural studies, I want to do something involving nature, like conservation

4:31 am

bangor's good at hockey, but thats about it, I think

4:32 am

I've lived my entire life on a farm, close to the middle of no where.

4:32 am

My first boyfriend played hockey for Wales. I met him at bangor. *Memories*

4:32 am

Bangor has a big agriculture / forestry dept

4:32 am

Chester might be a bit citified for you. Bangor sounds the right place. Easy to escape into Nature.

4:33 am

thanks

4:33 am

I'll take a better look at their courses on offer

4:34 am

what do you do for a living Hydra?

4:36 am

Writer and book editor, Alex. Went into advertising as a copywriter, then was a local newspaper journalist, then rock music journo, then editor of a fiction magazine for IPC Mags

4:36 am

I don't think you'd regret it, Alex. You'd better like walking up and down steep hills though - hadn't he, Atalante?

4:37 am

I run up steep hills, having lived on a sheep farm

4:38 am

Calves like cast iron, then!

4:38 am

wish I had done English at A level, writing is nt something that appeals to me now, but didnt then.

4:38 am

You don't need training to write. You either have the talent or you don't.

4:39 am

thats very true

4:40 am

working in a rock music journo, must have been an enjoyable job

4:40 am

You can always polish up your grammar. That's one of the things I do for people when I critique their manuscript.

4:41 am

Music journo was best job in the world. The people I met! Don't start me. It was in the '70s and '80s. From Yes and Marc Bolan, to The Police.

4:41 am

oh yes. there's a big hill between the student union and the halls!

4:41 am

most people need a whole lot of polishing up their grammar

4:42 am

Even me on occasions, Alex

4:42 am

you met Marc Bolan??? O.O

4:42 am

You're right, Atalante. I got drunk, fell on that hill and sprained my ankle and it's never been the same since.

4:43 am

I think everyone in Bangor does that once or twice! Especially when its icy

4:43 am

It was summer!!! Dark, though. I think I was running away from the hockey playing BF after a row.

4:44 am

I had LUNCH with Marc, Atalante. He was magical. We talked about song lyrics. But his wife was there keeping a beady eye on proceedings.

4:44 am

does anyone have the in7/36?

4:44 am

wow. WOW

4:45 am

Think I'd better start writing my memoirs. They'd take up several volumes (LOL)

4:45 am

I'm just staring a pic based on some of his lyrics

4:45 am

do you think it would be a mistake to not go to University? and just try to find a job and hope destiny will take its course?

4:46 am

I think Uni teaches you more than the subject you're learning. It makes you grow up and become independent

4:47 am

I do think it would be a mistake not to go, if you can afford to carry that debt. If you don't want to be saddled with it, then try your luck at finding a job. Qualifications always help, though. I didn't get a very good degree as I didn't work hard, but it still helped me get jobs.

4:47 am

Wise words, Atalante

4:47 am

no pink, that's the one IN that i don't have. sorry.

4:47 am

thanks corpsvalue

4:48 am

5:03 am

Lucky you, how long are you there for, it must be really hot there now?

5:04 am

will be 10 days, 2 in transit, about 110 degrees F now, but no humidity. Hotter here in the south!

5:05 am

BBL

5:05 am

that is just unbearable heat, your driving it down?

5:05 am

see you, lynxxx

5:05 am

ttfn lynxxx

5:06 am

flying to Tucson, then driving down from there. Better half will meet the dad for first time (eek)

5:07 am

that should be interesting lol. I hated meeting my other half's mum, its got to be one of the most nerve wrecking moments of my life!

5:08 am

a friend of mine coined the new e-mail/chat abbr today: MIM = mentally in Mexico

5:08 am

I'm MIST... mentally in St Tropez...

5:09 am

i think they'll get along (hope), they're closer in age than he and I are!

5:09 am

lol, sherb

5:09 am

what is the age difference between you

5:09 am

kair

5:10 am

sorry...its not in the dictionary!

5:10 am

21 years (yes, I know)

5:11 am

nothing wrong with that!

5:11 am

doesn't seem to be, for us, anyway

5:11 am

pink, try another ka4

5:12 am

i monkeyed it shdy!

5:12 am

the monkey put it in the chat, then!

5:14 am

funny thing is i monkeyed the real one after seeing "kair"

5:14 am

so did i shdy

5:15 am

lol :)

5:15 am

this grid is beginning to suck!!

5:15 am

this is a very phantomy grid

5:15 am

I agree

5:16 am

very

5:16 am

in fact, now i see phantom!

5:16 am

me too, also

5:17 am

lol the phantom, phantom oh lordie!!

5:17 am

good morning, POTOS! and shdy!

5:17 am

People On The Other Side (of the Pond)

5:17 am

heehee, hi JB

5:17 am

43 As! ...that's too many for one grid...

5:17 am

shdy, you're up even earlier than me...

5:18 am

Hello JBs i was ready to ask what that meant!

as

5:18 am

only been up since 3, JB, (lol, news just said "across the pond")

5:19 am

I've been getting up earlier to play instead of staying up later, seems to be working except that I don't hardly finish grids anymore

5:19 am

Morning G&J!

5:20 am

Yikes, sherb, 43 As, really?

5:20 am

i like to get up about 4:30, can finish grid and sudoku before work, so can actually work at work!

5:20 am

Yeah, they blocked all game sites at work, so now I work at work too

5:20 am

oh, the horrors!

5:22 am

Well, it helps to cut down on hacker attacks, so I can't complain. A friend (at another city hospital here) had over half of her email wiped out due to a network attack

5:23 am

ok, JB, you have lots of cats - mine has this new thing....scabs on face (all between nose and eyes) and also on ears. What the heck is that?

5:23 am

nasty!

5:23 am

true !

5:23 am

No, shdy, just kidding - do you have other cats? if so, maybe thay are fighting/

5:23 am

mites!

5:24 am

*?*

5:24 am

no, but she just returned to being an outside cat recently, this started shortly after

5:24 am

Ah, yes, Dr. Atalante, I concur!

5:25 am

mites would certainly be my first guess, anyway

5:25 am

Mine don't go outside, shdy, so they don't have infestations of tiny bugs like fleas and mites

5:25 am

i put in a dog door for the other critters, therefore Fang also has freedom, but now she looks like He^&

5:25 am

i fancy a virtual holiday im going to choose another flag brb!

5:25 am

st tropez, pink?

5:26 am

fleas love the nose/mouth area, so could be

5:26 am

shdy, you typed the words right off my chatlog!

5:27 am

lol, jb!

5:27 am

shdy, to be sure, check with your vet. Mites can be overcome, but it's messy with oil in their ears. I've never needed to use flea collars on my kitties either

5:28 am

Bahamas Jbs im relaxing on the beach playing babble...wireless internet

5:28 am

Plenty of sunscreen, pink - you might lose track of time under the broiling tropical sun!

5:29 am

i can see the vet telling me to do something stupid (when Nico was about 6 months he had an abcess between his toes, vet said, with a straight face, to hold his foot in hot saltwater for 5 minutes, 3 times a day) Nico, at the time, was a 40+ pound puppy

5:30 am

nah, he'll just give you frontline incase of fleas, and a mite treatment. As JB said, mite treatment ain't much fun, but it works.

5:30 am

See, quality pet time! Did you get wet? <chuckle>

5:31 am

didn't even try, just laughed and took the antibiotic pills

5:31 am

lol very snesible

5:31 am

took them home, that is! lol

5:32 am

so now i can see him telling me to rub something on the cat's face...whatever!

5:32 am

shdy, we live in an old suburb of Philadelphia (very charming old houses and main street) and there is a cat vet in a tiny little cottage that we go to. They treat only cats, and (get this) there are FOUR vets!

5:32 am

bbl i ned a break!!

5:33 am

Actually, you rub the oil into the ears. How BIG is this cat, anyway?

5:33 am

C ya, pink!

5:33 am

right, jb, 3 to hold them and one to "treat" them!

5:33 am

LOL, shdy!

5:33 am

*need* i may return actually knowing how to type properly!

5:33 am

1 treating, 1 holding the front end, 1 holding the back end, 1 standing by with sedative in case

5:34 am

Coffee, pink, copious amounts of coffee

5:35 am

somewhere out there in cyberspace is "how to give a cat/dog a pill" Cat version is several pages and funny, dog version = wrap it in bacon

5:35 am

LOL Atl! Actually, our vet usually has an assistant in the exam room to help hold

5:36 am

how to give a cat a pill. don't. unless prepared for the consequences ....

5:36 am

I've seen that, shdy. Actually, I give Scrappy a couple of pills a day (he's becoming a categenarian, equivalent to human 70's-80's), and he tolerates it pretty well. The scars have pretty much healed...

5:36 am

exactly, ata, lmao

5:37 am

Fang got her name for a reason!

5:39 am

my old cat put my mum in hospital once while we were giving him a tablet. he shredded her wrist flailing around with claws and teeth!

5:39 am

while not fun, ata, that's not surprising!

5:39 am

Yikes, Ata! <wincing in sympathy>

5:40 am

my 3 large dogs are manageable, the cat does whatever the cat wants to do, whenever she wants to do it!

5:41 am

she looked like she'd tried to commit suicide for a god few weeks after!

5:41 am

Well, I'm up to 53 words, and just greyed out my first box (top i)

5:41 am

**jealous** only found one of the top i's (no clues, too early)

5:42 am

present and past te5, shdy!

5:42 am

i said no clues, jb!!!! lol, ty

5:43 am

oh, I thought you meant that there weren't clues because of few finishers!

5:44 am

no, just didn't want to go there yet! but already had the present/past

5:44 am

well then your I should be grey :)

5:45 am

present past i word?

5:45 am

My i's are green <groan>

5:45 am

cute, jb

5:45 am

*thwack* :)

5:46 am

<ducks>

5:46 am

Attack Kitty <who runs after the fish Ata just thwacked me with>

5:47 am

well, shdy, your cat might have mites, but at least it hasnt' got th5/14s!

5:47 am

gotcha, ata, ty

5:48 am

utterly random cluing there

5:49 am

shamen isnt allowed. wow

5:49 am

5:49 am

5:50 am

Pink, is that sunscreen on you?

5:50 am

5:51 am

oh. duh. yes. i knew something looked wronhg!

5:51 am

HI Haz

5:52 am

Hi everyone

5:52 am

I was 18 when he was born, not used to seeing him as an "adult"! He's 6'5" and in a military college! So strange!

5:53 am

{{{peri!}}}

5:53 am

And everyone else, as well!

5:53 am

HI JB!!!

9:33 am

the ad words? anyone?

9:33 am

I thought you meant you only had a couple of t letters left to complete!

9:34 am

ad7/36 - benign tumour, or motherless Adrian.

9:34 am

i still have a few t's but I got that pesky one in the corner!

9:35 am

two of them are AD + another word for a male (one male and more than one male)

9:35 am

ty Flosey, Jmann ,Lori enjoy your day!!!

9:36 am

No clue yet please, but is in 7/36 a "normal" word, relatively speaking?

9:37 am

the other 3 AD's build off each other, starting with AD + vowel + a *** de plume + vowel

9:37 am

then plural that

9:37 am

I keep wanting to enter "mank" which keeps making me think of the Deep Thought by Jack Handy: "Maybe in order to understand mankind we have to look at that word itself. MANKIND.

1:33 pm

it's our theme for today . . . tea plus (ready for this?) little floating balls of tapioca . . .

1:33 pm

yw :-)

1:33 pm

*blinks* why tapioca!

1:33 pm

ack ack ack on the bubble tea. HATE tapioca.

1:33 pm

what does that give to tea? *mindboggled(*

1:33 pm

and IN TEA!

1:34 pm

Starch.

1:34 pm

google it, ata--apparently it started in Asia and is very very popular

1:34 pm

wow. *googles*

1:34 pm

Pfft. Crazy Asians. They'll eat or drink anything.

1:36 pm

no. no no no no no

1:36 pm

I agree, ata LOL

1:37 pm

just give me tea

1:37 pm

There's a place in town that serves it. I don't think it's very popular. My husband was repulsed by it as well.

1:37 pm

I would try it. Once.

1:38 pm

Finaly found the ta5/10 in the corner. One black box. zzzzzzzzzz

1:38 pm

but I cannot see why tapioca balls would enhance the flavour of tea!

1:40 pm

I don't think the tapioca is for flavour. I think it's just to create the illusion of bubbles. Is it tea or is it pudding? Blech. What's next? Cous-cous tea?

1:40 pm

well just get a straw and blow bubbles into the tea! much easier :P

1:41 pm

i think it's really tea . . . and the tapioca supposedly adds texture . . .

1:41 pm

eeeewwwww

1:41 pm

o

1:41 pm

Part of the experience is an extra wide straw to drink it with, so one is sure to get the whole textural experience.

1:42 pm

oh ... just lovely

1:42 pm

gag . . .

1:42 pm

ewwwwwwwww and ewwwwww Hi everyone

tapioca is a pudding

it comes in a box of in little cups like jello

1:47 pm

its made from cassava

1:48 pm

Ah! Ata - finally a straight answer. So, it is from the cassava root then. Another reason not to eat it.

1:48 pm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapioca

1:48 pm

Not exactly fear factor food. More like blah factor food.

1:49 pm

"Purchased tapioca are small white spheres about 2mm in diameter (larger also available) that are made from reconstituted processed root. Now that sounds even more disgusting

1:50 pm

Yeah. And who's the genius that came up with that process. Sounds like a lab accident - someone left the bunson burner on too long.

1:50 pm

i love tapioca pudding with a bit of cream but in tea-not a chance lol

1:50 pm

Eureka! Starch pellets! Let's make manky pudding with it!

1:51 pm

*amused at the chat*

1:51 pm

I think bubble tea (tea with tapioca balls) is really good. The balls have been cooked in sugar syrup and turn brownish-black. They taste and have the texture of gummy bears.

1:52 pm

Wiki says tapioca in Britain refers to the pudding thickened with arrowroot, while Asia uses sap of the Sago palm -- interesting.

1:52 pm

yay, grayed out a box

1:53 pm

Indigestable!

1:53 pm

apparently there are 2 different cassavas, one quite harmful to humans

1:54 pm

lol Judi they even use it in Boba Milk Tea

1:55 pm

Yes, I'm just going to run out and have some bubble tea and smoke my squid ink cigarettes...

1:55 pm

well I certainly learned something new today!

1:55 pm

Don't want to know what Boba Milk is.

1:56 pm

Boba is another name for the tapioca balls. Milk refers to the tea - milk tea - meaning tea with milk or cream.

1:56 pm

Hello - was reading chat - we referred to tapioca pudding as "frogs eggs" as kids - still cant eat the stuff

1:56 pm

there's a picture of bubble tea with " black tapioca pearls" as they are being called

1:57 pm

da 5/12 any clues?

1:57 pm

Kelly, you seem to be the only one that likes it.

1:58 pm

there is not a da5/12 majmom

1:58 pm

Well, it can be unusual. Personally, I prefer vanilla ginger green with boba. In fact, I had some yesterday.

1:58 pm

sorry da 5/14 1st one

1:59 pm

majmom "the guy"

1:59 pm

And I've even made it at home myself, just to see if I could. One can buy the tapioca pearls in a market with a good Asian food selection, and find the recipe online. It was a lot of work, and probably not worth the effort.

1:59 pm

sorry majmom "the male" (not fawkes)

2:00 pm

I could be brave and say its fine, but it HURTS!

2:29 pm

Hello Haz & Peri & others I've missed whilst searching.

2:30 pm

2:30 pm

I'm sure it is! My sympathy.

2:30 pm

Hello Judi.

2:30 pm

I thought so too, Eva

2:30 pm

athame sounds like a posh Scotsman's invitation to dinner.

2:31 pm

at least Hobbit has a sore paw so doesnt want to do for mile long hikes at the moment!

2:31 pm

Oh poor Hobbit as well! What a pair you must make, him hobbling, you with your hump removed.

2:32 pm

I will not look, I will not look, I will not look. Back when I've looked.

2:33 pm

LOL :)

2:35 pm

There, I had a quick look! My daughter rang from work yesterday (in Scotland) to say that there was a golden cocker spaniel puppy sitting outside..... As she put it, its ears were too big for its head.

2:36 pm

awwwwwwww! golden cockers are just soooo gorgeous

2:37 pm

I know. She was practically drooling down the phone, but so frustrated because she couldn't leave her post to go and make a fuss of the pup.

2:38 pm

oh no! thats torture!

2:38 pm

sp6/21 please

2:38 pm

She just had to content herself with looking. She really misses having a dog around to play with.

2:39 pm

sp6/21 please

*sigh* I bet.

2:40 pm

I don't have it yet, peri.

They could ahve devoted 1/2 the program to her, I want to see the reception, study the guests attire etc etc

3:42 pm

It grows as the baby grows.

By the time she gets to school, there won't be enough room for her name tags on the coat peg.

3:50 pm

LMAO yes!

3:50 pm

LOL

3:51 pm

Sewing on name tapes would be a considerable trouble.

3:51 pm

the Dress weighed 20 stone, by the way

3:52 pm

That's why the bride looked as one felled by a tree.

3:52 pm

I just started - who are you talking about??

3:52 pm

it cracks me up, they waited a couple weeks to name the baby to see what name she would look like and that's what they came up with.

3:52 pm

how much is a stone?

3:53 pm

14 pounds.

3:53 pm

how many pounds or kilos?

3:53 pm

16lb I think

3:53 pm

Well the 50,000+ crystals sewn onto it would be some weight. 1 stone = 14 pounds

3:53 pm

for all you poor people without ITV: http://www.heatworld.com/Article.aspx? articleid=1859&title=The+must-see+TV+e vent+of+the+week

3:53 pm

Fran, LastFM tells me "no such group",,,,

3:54 pm

She had to wear trainers rather than delicate shoes just so she could attempt to walk.

3:54 pm

A good dose of Bailey's will soon have her right, Fran.

clue for in 7/32

I'm on dial up, don't think it'll play...

3:57 pm

muse, make sure you don't put the period in.

3:57 pm

poo. just imagine the most tasteless things you can imagine. it'll be about right

3:57 pm

I capitulate! Cannot find my last word anywhere. Who will have mercy on me? it is se 5/10, right after the "has dispatched"

3:58 pm

okay, the picture was bad enough, but seeing it/her in motion is just priceless.

3:58 pm

Tastelss and then some.

3:58 pm

Just add a vowel at the end, inge.

3:58 pm

based on the way her guests and family are dressed, they filmed part of Moulin Rouge during the wedding i think.

3:58 pm

add a vowel Inge

3:59 pm

you can see why we were all fixed to the screen, fran!

3:59 pm

thats a man, baby

OK, saw a picture. I'm renewing my vows next year and was wondering what to wear, have to get one of those!

3:59 pm

Oh my gosh!! I just watched the video. Now I can understand what you are talking about!!!!!

4:00 pm

oh yes, you must!

4:00 pm

4:00 pm

It's given you ideas, hasn't it, bunny?

4:00 pm

make sure you have video.

4:00 pm

muse, did you get into the last.fm group page?

4:01 pm

so if we imagine her and her entourage for any further tales of your travellers community, Haz, would we being imagining about right?

4:01 pm

The travelling families here will have watched it in awe. They'll have taken notes, those that can write, and they'll do their best to emulate.

Definately, but I'll see if they make it in the bridesmaid pink they are wearing, two great combos in one.

4:01 pm

Well wasn't that just something!!!

4:01 pm

bunny, you better start working out now, that bride was not prepared for a 200 lb. dress.

4:01 pm

You've got it, Atalante. I told you they love fuss!

4:02 pm

Thanks FranMag. Got fireworks, I was going to skip the video. Should I look at it ?

4:02 pm

I loved her getting into the car

4:02 pm

Saw my scrawny arms did ya?

4:02 pm

I am back, had no internet connection again!!!

4:04 pm

http://www.heatworld.com/Article.aspx? articleid=1859&title=The+must-see+TV+ e vent+of+the+week

4:04 pm

http://www.heatworld.com/Article.aspx? articleid=1859&title=The+must-see+TV+ e vent+of+the+week

4:04 pm

oops, that's not going to work

4:04 pm

...and the way she had to waddle down the aisle like a stuffed duck. Hardly elegant!

4:04 pm

I thought they might just demolish the pews at either side to get it up.

4:04 pm

ta7 please

4:04 pm

the waddling was hilarious, definitely not elegant

4:05 pm

Perhaps Haz could do a summary commentary for Nuttys next breadcast.

4:05 pm

oooo interesting! http://www.heatworld.com/Article.aspx? articleid=1859&title=The+must-see+TV+e vent+of+the+week vent+of+the+week

4:07 pm

what about the color of her skin?? i am telling you- that was not a woman, that was a MAN, baby

de 7 - in anguish or de + sounds like your extra tire

4:07 pm

de + snake letter + a **** of shoes, jeans, panties, etc.

4:07 pm

Her skin? That dewy Irish complexion?

4:07 pm

lol haz!

4:07 pm

The make-up artist probably moonlights at the plastering.

4:09 pm

muse, just make sure the period doesn't go in when you paste.

4:10 pm

Well I am going to let my mind gently boggle away and head to the lad of no. Probably will have dreams about being attached by luminous pink beachballs or something!!

4:13 pm

None of them polite!

4:13 pm

You wouldn't be appreciative...

4:13 pm

You wouldn't say thanks, or the baby/Britsh version, two letters.

4:14 pm

4:14 pm

You wouldn't say 'merci' but you might say 'mercy!'

4:14 pm

4:48 pm

4:48 pm

jellen, you have to see this: http://www.heatworld.com/Article.aspx? articleid=1859&title=The+must-see+TV+e vent+of+the+week

4:49 pm

you'll have to paste each line in, but it's worth it!

4:49 pm

jellen, don't know if it's the last, but do you have the guys that work on commercials?

4:50 pm

Now I do! Going to check out link now.

4:50 pm

I keep getting a message in the chat log that word cannot be added and to try again in a minute, very frustrating

4:51 pm

looks like your connection isn't stable yet peri.

4:53 pm

OMG. My wedding dress looked just like that! :^)

4:54 pm

lol jellen, i bet it didn't weigh 280 lbs.!

4:54 pm

Hi all! I've been babbling along and noticed my day is gone?? What in the world happens to time when you're enmeshed in the grid?

4:54 pm

hi gramma, it's just one of those unexplainable phenomena

4:55 pm

could I get the AD 7 word please? and hello everyone

4:55 pm

No, but it was heavy. Just not so--wide!

4:55 pm

Hi, mel

4:55 pm

hi mel!

4:55 pm

Even Jordan's dress wasn't so over the top as that one. http://www.peter-andre.net/pages/weddi ng.htm

4:56 pm

ad 7 is something the doctor removes

4:56 pm

but don't worry it's benign

4:57 pm

ad7= Lemon*** + not yet + not pa

4:57 pm

*not yes

4:57 pm

jac, hers looks quite normal next to this one. :-)

4:58 pm

Indeed it does, Fran!

4:59 pm

Jordan's dress looks like it gave a little, as opposed to the ruffles of steel

5:00 pm

and they probably didn't have to roll katie into the limo either!

5:01 pm

katie=jordan, sorry

5:02 pm

grrr the 9 is not cooperating, lol

5:02 pm

Fran - Jordan (Katie Price) had that Cinderella coach thing for her wedding. Apparently, it can be hired for £20,000.

5:03 pm

mel, add two letters (short goodbye) to the ad7

5:03 pm

nothing but the best jac for them i'm sure jac.

5:04 pm

oops, too many jacs in that post. :-)

5:05 pm

hmm that is not workign either fran, lol

5:05 pm

yay got it

5:05 pm

thank you

5:05 pm

cool mel!

5:06 pm

Fran - How could there be 'too many' of ME? LOL

5:07 pm

(Don't answer that!)

5:07 pm

LOL

5:08 pm

you know jac, i've never actually had a bubble tea, but the ones in your icon look really tasty.

5:09 pm

Fran - I'd never even heard of it until I looked it up for the icon. Tapioca tea sounded yuk! They do look quite nice, though.

5:09 pm

the tapioca is just the pearls at the bottom. the rest of it is basically a smoothie.

5:10 pm

Yes, but, apparently you suck the pearls up with the rest through a straw.

5:10 pm

they don't really have their own flavor, it's more of a textural thing.

5:10 pm

BRB.

5:11 pm

The texture would get to me, I think.

5:11 pm

that's why i haven't had one, i've had the tapioca in other Filipino desserts and it's not something i want in my drink.

5:12 pm

like jac said, they are pretty though.

5:12 pm

I'll have to find a recipe and make one. Not sure if we can get black tapioca here, though. Having said that, I'm not keen on the texture of smoothies anyway.

5:12 pm

I just have a vague recollection of tapioca, but it's in my do-not-request list.

5:13 pm

lol

5:13 pm

they also come clear jac, but the black ones make a better presentation i guess.

5:13 pm

i'm sure you could find them in an Asian food market

5:14 pm

I'm one of the few people who actually LIKE rice, tapioca and semolina puddings... but not in my drinks.

5:14 pm

me too jac, i love tapioca and rice pudding.

5:14 pm

I like rice pudding.

5:15 pm

Maybe I give tapioca a try again someday.

5:15 pm

*I'll (English is my first language, really)

5:16 pm

there's that adventurous spirit jellen! :-)

5:17 pm

i just went to the list and i'm missing a lot of easy ones! i think i babble better in the middle of the night.

5:18 pm

I've only just found the Babble volcano! *sigh*

5:19 pm

that's one of the ones i always overlook jac

5:19 pm

me too

5:19 pm

but i find words like om6/21 without the list

5:20 pm

hey ata, i just shared the "dress" with jellen

5:20 pm

Hi, Ata. Did you find the dress?

5:21 pm

it was on some TV special the UK folks were watching, ata found the links for us "deprived" ones.

5:21 pm

Is it to be the Babble dress? LOL

5:22 pm

that gives me an idea for a theme, brb

5:22 pm

It has to be talked about in hushed, reverential tones. Don't let impressionable daughters know about it.

5:24 pm

I called my daughter and her b/f in to see it when it was on TV earlier, Haz. We were all in stitches.

5:24 pm

Not The Dress ..... *gasps*

5:24 pm

I could feel my mouth widening in horror/amazement etc.

5:25 pm

*Fans, Ata*

5:26 pm

I just cant get over a 20 stone wedding dress

5:26 pm

She could hardly get anywhere either.

5:26 pm

en 5/12 please

5:27 pm

thats going to keep me amused for weeks

5:27 pm

en5/12 - as dispensed when evacuation is necessary

5:27 pm

what an image!

5:28 pm

Don't think about it!

5:28 pm

Haz - roflol. I've got the word but I was thinking about kiddies at train stations with labels tied to them for a moment there.

5:28 pm

hi artlady!

5:29 pm

Here I am, sleeping in the woods in my mother's screen house, with bats outside making noises and I'll have strange dreams of a huge white dress....

5:29 pm

btw, hello, all!

5:29 pm

Hi, artlady.

5:29 pm

LOL, artlady.

5:29 pm

Hi, artlady

5:29 pm

hi artlady!

5:29 pm

Poor little things - we were watching a programme about evacuees last night.

5:31 pm

Neither of my sets of grandparents sent their children away in the War. My Dad was supposed to go but my Grandma changed her mind and rushed and rescued him at the last moment.

5:32 pm

This was a local programme about children evacuated from Belfast - in most cases they settled down really well, and loved the country. I know it wasn't always the case, though.

5:32 pm

No, not always.

5:35 pm

an 5/12 clue, please?

5:36 pm

5:43 pm

Nothing involving en5/12

5:43 pm

How about 'agnail', ata?

5:44 pm

that would work!!!

5:47 pm

knippi sounds like it could be a good word

5:47 pm

I wanted 'mankip/s'. I see Paul taking those all the time!

5:48 pm

David too

5:48 pm

dogkip or catkip too!

5:48 pm

'Mankip' IS a word then! I have decreed it. ;)

5:48 pm

woooot!

5:49 pm

definition: sleep taken when a man is meant to be doing DIY / watching sport / doing something the wife asked him to do

5:49 pm

Pronounced man kip or manky pee?

5:49 pm

Definitely, Ata.

5:49 pm

man kip, Haz.

5:50 pm

LOL

5:50 pm

I hoped so.

5:51 pm

oh poo. I'm still missing a 9! how did that happen!

5:51 pm

Which do you have?

5:52 pm

do you have the pr9 that means to reduce in size, in advance?

5:52 pm

ad9/66

5:52 pm

ad9

5:52 pm

ends in sh6/33

5:52 pm

oh I hate babble sometimes. I swear I added that pr9 hours ago

5:53 pm

Ah, pr9. The one where I talked about jeans in the 70s.

5:53 pm

ki 6/33 please

5:53 pm

Which is really what should have been done to THE DRESS.

5:53 pm

I *did* its in the memory of words that come up when I type in the box! Bad Babble!

5:53 pm

past tense of ki4/8

5:53 pm

OMG yes!

5:53 pm

thank you

5:54 pm

Haz, yes!

5:54 pm

fr5/20 has to be a made-up word

5:54 pm

we've had it before but it's just ridiculous . . .

5:55 pm

It's German for foreign, if memory serves correctly.

5:55 pm

it does

5:55 pm

good, now i'll remember it

5:58 pm

6:00 pm

6:00 pm

Ata, recovering from what? Overtyping? <giggle>

6:16 pm

pr 9/90 please

6:17 pm

oh, that's right, Jac, <soft chuckle> I'll behave, mostly!

6:17 pm

You don't realise how much you move and/or touch your nose until it hurts.:(

6:18 pm

owie, Jac!

6:19 pm

Jac, reminds me of the joke: "Doc, it hurts when I do this."

6:20 pm

Doc: "Don't do that."

6:20 pm

Ata - the needle in the tip of my nose to numb it hurt more - hurt like hell, in fact. Surgeon said it would. Said the tip of the nose if one of the most sensitive areas of the body.

6:20 pm

*is one of the

6:20 pm

So, let me get this right - Atalante has had a boob removed from her back and Jacula has had a nose job? Babble is keeping plastic surgeons busy this week.

6:23 pm

pr 9/90 please

6:23 pm

Surgeon said, as soon as he cut into it that he was positive it was a benign naevus. Result will be through in 3 weeks. I'd have been more worried if he'd said nothing. I'm sure it's okay.

TY, Haz, I got the word, but it's not really a word, is it? BBL, C ya soon!

6:24 pm

6:37 pm

ty, bichon and Haz

6:38 pm

hi, stid!

6:38 pm

hi stiddy

6:38 pm

The bride was from a family of Irish travellers. They like their ceremonies to be as over the top as possible, so no expense spared, no taste permitted.

Irish Travellers (sometimes known as Tinkers) are a nomadic or itinerant people of Irish origin living in Ireland, Great Britain and the United States. It is estimated 25,000 Travellers live in Ireland, 15,000 in Great Britain and 7,000 in the United States [1]. They refer to themselves as The Pavees. Many non-Pavee people (or "Buffers") still use the word Knackers, or Tinkers [2] (derogatory, in this sense), from the Irish tincéirí, sg. tincéir or "tinsmith."

7:48 pm

Go Jacula go

(Whilst watching, I me5/12.)

7:55 pm

7:55 pm

Even the bride looks like she's wondering why.

7:56 pm

7:56 pm

Woo hoo At

7:56 pm

UNBELIEVABLE... that video was blankin' unbelievable

oh and if you google Chav wedding there is more abminations

7:58 pm

What is chavvy?

7:58 pm

ayayayayay, ATA

7:58 pm

214 left here <vbg>

7:58 pm

whooo hoooooo ATA

7:59 pm

272 here, jilli!

7:59 pm

I'm so glad we watched that prog! That girl will provide amusement for years to come

7:59 pm

YAY ata!!!

Chav just google it

7:59 pm

I guess we're pretty much hopeless, pam

8:00 pm

going to google chav

8:00 pm

I will google it, I thought, though, if one of you could explain it, it would be nicer, herin

8:00 pm

LOL, jilli!

8:00 pm

done!

Pam im a little to affraid to say it

8:01 pm

and why am i watching michael?

Urban dictionary: CHAV- Council House and Violent

8:01 pm

Ata - It's not the sort of TV prog I generally watch, but we put it on after seeing chat in here earlier.

8:01 pm

gotcha, herin... found it and now know why....

8:02 pm

Hi everyone. Work has quietened down, so I'm going to do a little light babbling!

Pam think RedNeck with cash to splash

8:02 pm

hi, liz

8:02 pm

Having said that, I did watch the 1st of the Britain's Teen Mums programme or whatever it's called. Series is still on, I th5.

8:02 pm

nor me, but I saw the first few seconds and saw The Dress and was transfixed

8:03 pm

Hi Liz. Have you seen THAT DRESS yet? (It was on ITV earlier) If not, check out my profile.

Jac How young are these brides on this show?

8:04 pm

they were between 15 and 18

8:05 pm

Youngest was an Asian girl who was engaged at 10 and married at 16. 16 is the youngest age anyone can be wed here with parental consent.

That im sorry is wrong wrong and more wrong

8:05 pm

Tell us about it, herin. LOL

8:05 pm

sorry, couldnt remember if she was 15 or 16

Can i just hide under the couch. Thats scary.

8:06 pm

what shall we bet that most won't be married in 2 years?

I keep think Brittany Spears is the poster child for Chav

8:07 pm

The Pakistani girl's parents didn't see it as wrong, Herin. In their culture, girls are not allowed to have boyfriends. They realise that by the time a girl reaches her teens she wants such things and so they find her a suitable husband. Quite often, they are right with their choice, but not always, and she does have the option to say 'no', in enlightened families anyay.

8:08 pm

can anyone help me out with any ad's? i cant even get one of them...

8:08 pm

and actually, she seems the most well adjusted of the lot of them

8:09 pm

They find her a husband to be and then marry them off, if they seem to get on after several meetings. They marry in Pakistan at about 14 and then officially marry and life together in UK 2 years' after that.

Thats all well and good but my problem with that is the honour killings and acid burning the female that refuses to marry 'the chosen' partner

8:12 pm

last ha5/14 any clues?

8:12 pm

majmom, plural the ha4.6

8:13 pm

lovejoy. lemon***+not yes + not pa

8:13 pm

I have a Hindu friend who this didn't work out for... she said 'No' to every man presented until she was 25 and then her parents got desperate. (She had UK b'fs they had no idea about). However, she eventually agreed to about the 10th guy offered up and it turned out a disaster. Not only did he cheat on her and their 2 children but he also plotted to murder her. She is now, after many truly horrible court battles against him and his horrible family(and I do know this is true because I've been a character witness for her) finally divorced and has custody of her children so he can't spirit them away to India. her family, much humbled by this experience, look after her and look out for her far better now.

8:14 pm

i think thats the 1st ha 5/14

8:14 pm

no the first one is an anagram of the last one

8:15 pm

glad that she had the wherewithal to fight back, jac

8:15 pm

sorry dont have that 4/6yet

8:15 pm

I really want to do this grid, but my head is telling me otherwise...

Good for her for fighting back. In a way we play match maker to our friends but my peeve is that woman are seen as property not people

8:16 pm

It's just as well, as my friend said, that she is not so traditional as her Mum (who is ony 8 years' older than me) that she carries the dagger at her waist. If she was...

8:16 pm

very interesting, jac. Why do so many people go to Rome and refuse to do as the Romans do?

8:16 pm

majmom, ha + **, myself and i

8:16 pm

tx ibdawger

8:17 pm

pam - she knew she had her UK friends behind her on that and, more importantly, the support rather than condemnation of her family.

8:17 pm

hi all!

8:17 pm

in her culture, it's the latter that is the more unusual

8:18 pm

Jacula, thank you for sharing "that dress". my gracious..what were they thinking??? That girl doesn't even look remotely happy. sigh. hope everyone is well today!

8:18 pm

Exactly, pam. I was so relieved when they also came through for her. Mind you, as a friend also of her mother, I'd been doing my bit on that front!

8:18 pm

They come to Rome and create their own ghetto--emotionally as well as physically if they can, circe

8:18 pm

Hi, circe

8:18 pm

OK, even I have now found out what you guys have been talking about all day long. Thanks Jacula for the link

8:18 pm

circe - LOL. Yes.

8:19 pm

8:25 pm

hi nut, and bfn

8:25 pm

Jilli - I did have some rather tasty looking bubble teas with fresh fruits on my icon earler but, after THAT DRESS was on TV... well... I just had to change my icon.

8:25 pm

NUTTY

8:25 pm

LOL jac!

8:25 pm

ok, need to go, head doesn't like this....heart does, though. Oh welll....

I am not ignoring the themes i just dont like bubble tea, If i dont have a current theme up its one of 2 reasons - I am at work and cant change it or 2i dont like that theme. No offense to any one

8:25 pm

8:26 pm

bfn, truly now!

Oh good sometimes i change my icon to suit my mood. Right now the mood is Trees forest and away from civilization

8:27 pm

Bye for now, jilli.x

Opps i was looking the wrong way for the EN

8:27 pm

That's fine, herin. I sometimes go with the thoughts of Edward Monckton.

That dress is still scarying me

8:28 pm

ir 4/5-i think i tried all the combos but no cigar-so any clues?

8:28 pm

Back to the grid now... still 11 to find and I have another busy day in a few hours.:( EEK!

8:29 pm

Is this the first wedding dress that has caused global nightmares? If so, she could probably hire it out in about and hour or two for thousands of pouns/euros/dollars whatever.

I just found out my friend has 19 piercings my mind is boggling as to were. Yes and i like that idea Jac

8:30 pm

ir4/5 = annoyed or made cross.

I'm almost there.... I did 200 on my own! yeah!

8:44 pm

Madi, i don't think you intentionally bring in the troll.s i think maybe they see what fun you have and try to emulate you, not being as savvy to the game they become trolls.

8:44 pm

go labecs!

8:44 pm

8:48 pm

8:48 pm

artlady - I'm so glad it made both (reserve they say) UK folks speechless AND (the not so reserve re puting on a show USA folks) also speechless. Common ground.

8:48 pm

Yes, the guests were bizarre also!

8:48 pm

besides Madi, without trolls what would be whine and complain about? lol

8:48 pm

I can't believe she actually agreed to wear that thing

8:49 pm

Or paid for it

8:49 pm

If Artlady is an art therapist - she works with trolls all day and sees the amazing art work and writing that they come up with.

8:49 pm

No, art teacher...although there is always therapy involved (often for me!)

8:50 pm

oh oh oh doxy, you are forgetting my bandana. *he he he!*

8:50 pm

The best art room I ever saw was the one in the school attache to the clinic my daughter was in. It was the most honest and raw artwork I'd ever seen and so was the work in the English room.

8:51 pm

ai5/12?

8:51 pm

Well, I can't get into my room to set it up yet. They're doing construction (new windows) and not finished yet....yikes! We start in a week and a half.

8:51 pm

artlady - what ages do you teach? Mind you, that probably doesn't really matter.

8:51 pm

4 words left now... tees.

8:51 pm

a television show is ai***...like the one with the dress!

8:52 pm

thanks artlady

8:52 pm

I teach 2nd through 5th grade. Many of the teachers use Babble with their classes, for vocabulary.

8:52 pm

Go Jac!

8:53 pm

and that's more than likely where a lot of the trolls come from

8:53 pm

my language arts teacher used babble for us 5th graders.

8:53 pm

If I do ever decide to go back into the 'proper paid' work world from writing, then I'd go into artr or English therapy. It's heartbreaking, in7/32 ing and fascinating.

8:53 pm

Yes. There was a big problem last year with them. I talked to the teachers about it and most of the students learned better Babble behavior.

8:54 pm

Hmmm, madi?

8:54 pm

sorry!

8:54 pm

Good one, Jac!

8:54 pm

Sorry??

8:55 pm

i am still in shackles in the babble dungeon

8:55 pm

I heard there's an escape tunnel in the corner. Just move the second brick over.

8:55 pm

Had the term'criminal profiler' like 'Cracker' (UK TV series) been defined when I was at the start of wondering what to do with my life.... I'd have gone for that. I'm not saying the kids in the clinic wwere criminals, btw. I'm going off on another track now re my interests.

I am back, had to go quickly, could I get a clue for ad7, please?

8:56 pm

Good luck all. Back to the Cubs game!!

8:56 pm

8:58 pm

8:59 pm

*frees feet and hands tool back to doxy*

8:59 pm

I think my true interest lies in trying to work out ad define those that were 'normal' until life screwed them up.' What happened then? What were they thinking and why?

8:59 pm

madi are you pro yet? where's your icon?
