Brilliant, thanks Elle, another girl after my own heart! I'm gradually picking up loads of obscure things I didn't know before and hopefully keeping the brain cells from shrivelling up! Glad you like the Jumbo too. Struggling to keep awake now, night night!
Hiya Rossim, wise old Einstein eh? I couldn't agree more with you. I now have a 21 letter word in my storehouse - electroencephalograph! Not sure when I'll get the opportunity to slip it into a conversation as I don't know any brain surgeons. I really do enjoy doing the Jumbo Cryptic and I've been helped such a lot by other people's generosity so that I can now occasionally give something back. Lots of nice people on this site. Greetings to all!
Hiya Rossim, aha... Now you've got me started! Instead of the Y ... If I were to add ICS... Would that make a word? What'd ya reckon? Any advance on ICS?!!! Should I get out more?
I THINK you might be able to say that information about a patient's brain had been gathered electroencephalographically. I'm better with words than with numbers ... but I think that's 27!! But I'm not boasting about it - just enjoying (as others have commented) my discovery of the Forum - and joining in with humility and a sense of belonging. This is the closest I can (or want to) get to social networking.
Duckb, I am well impressed by your humility and sense of belonging and ability to come up with words of great length! What's more, this is my only foray into social networking too. My grown-up children want me to join Facebook and can't understand what's stopping me. I sometimes wonder if I'm the only person on the planet who's not on it! Now I know there are at least two people who haven't yet succumbed!
Make that three people, Susan! I too have no intention whatsoever of joining Facebook!
My children, too, cannot understand why I won't join it - nor can various friends - but to me it's very intrusive.
I shall stand firm!
