Gillie

Hmm - seems me7 is the plural of a word that isn't allowed for some reason

1:53 am

justafreep

There are two me7s, Gillie. And the one you mention I suspect is a weird variation on a me6 that is in the grid.

1:53 am

justafreep

oops. never mind on the two

1:54 am

Gillie

Wikipedia thinks it's a plural

1:54 am

justafreep

just the one. I was thinking it had accepted mine but I had typoed into something that WAS accepted!

1:54 am

justafreep

It probably is a plural but related to the me6

1:55 am

justafreep

of course, it's late for me, so nothing I say can be trusted :-)

1:55 am

Gillie

No - plural of a word without the final letter (but related to the me6)

1:55 am

justafreep

Enable strikes again

1:56 am

Gillie

actually, the me6 is basically the same thing, it seems

1:57 am

Gillie

Yeah, Enable is weird

1:58 am

Gillie

pa7 hasn't been called, I think

1:58 am

Gillie

Anyway, I should pack it in. G'night freep

Deeha

surely if you can preempt you can also empt!!!

8:00 am

Scrabbler

Agreed.

8:01 am

Scrabbler

Deeha, I just finished Rhys Bowen's book,In Farleigh Field, with much of the story in Kent.

8:02 am

Deeha

whereabouts in Kent was it?

8:04 am

Scrabbler

Sevenoaks and around there. The estate was the Westerham family. WW2 historical fiction.

8:06 am

Scrabbler

One character worked in Bletchley Park. One worked for MI5.

8:07 am

Deeha

Sounds the sort of book I'd read. Alho I didnt really know hat area, I was on the coast. My daughter did get married in Westerham Church tho'!

8:08 am

Scrabbler

The book I read before this one was The Rose Code by Kate Quinn, focused on Bletchley Park decoders in WW2.

8:15 am

Deeha

I'm just having a craze on Elizabeth Chadwick who write about 11/12th century. Obviously fictionalised but about the lives of real people who lived then

8:15 am

hurshy

Rs Ransacked!

8:16 am

hurshy

Ns Nailed!

8:16 am

Scrabbler

I will check those out, Deeha. TY.

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Go Hurshy, go.

8:17 am

hurshy

how's everyone :)

8:17 am

hurshy

top row grey!

8:17 am

Deeha

If I remember right they only broke the enigma code because the Germans accidentally dropped an enigma machine into the soft mud of the Thames! Ooops!!

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Gaining full consciousness here.

8:18 am

Deeha

people

8:18 am

hurshy

yeah slowly working on that myself, scrabs

8:18 am

Deeha

ooooh blast!!! sorry

8:18 am

Scrabbler

The Bletchley Park decoders worked so hard to decode many messages in other languages.

8:21 am

hurshy

i don't see anything about dropping in the thames https://tinyurl.com/yk8jmucj

8:22 am

hurshy

but it does mention the eventual capture of one from a U-boat

8:22 am

Scrabbler

I need to watch the Alan Turing movie.

8:22 am

hurshy

it was good

8:23 am

hurshy

as was the show Bletchley Park

8:23 am

Deeha

what a terrible way to treat a genius or indeed aanybody

8:23 am

Scrabbler

A BP show?

8:23 am

hurshy

"thanks for saving us from Hitler! oh wait, you're gay! chemical castration for you!"

8:23 am

MollyL

phantom: epitome

8:33 am

hurshy

remember when you were a kid and you thought it was pronouned "ep-i-tome"

8:34 am

hurshy

phantoms: eterne, etoile

8:35 am

MollyL

It would be great if there were a bulletin board for this place where we could put the tiny url link, the Lickety Expert Link, notes about if Lickety's list has an extra word or why Lickety's list is down.

8:35 am

Scrabbler

Some words trip us up. Mine are: awry (aw-ree), misled (mizzled), and innovative (in-NAHV-itive.)

8:36 am

hurshy

yeah but those ones with greek roots especially, i mean, they don't follow the usual patterns of english pronunciation... names like penelope, hermione, persephone are just like epitome in that regard

8:37 am

jbp

my phantoms are dementia and epoi. don't know what that says about me

8:37 am

Scrabbler

Hi jbp

8:37 am

hurshy

8:37 am

jbp
