The K M Links Game - September 2022 Week 1 Results

[seekeerz]

Good morning everyone - this is not shaping up to be a good one at al and I have a feeling it won’t improve anytime soon.

So far, I’ve been unable to find that I can download and print off a hard copy of the Telegraph puzzles, which if this is so, will disappoint me greatly ….not only do they provide an easy way of finding the links, but also provide one of my chief sources of enjoyment.

If anyone can help in that area, I’d be very happy to hear from you.

Now for the links, I think I have the correct Herculis, but I won’t put money on that…

Pitch Black
Snap Roll
Block Party
Meadow Foxtail

And I can say at this point, there are two players scoring a point each for the first pairing, BUTTERBUN & PATSY33, after that, nothing !!

I hate to say this, but I fear this is the end of my participation in K M Links …I found obtaining the answers this morning very fiddly …I guess that they were so obscure made it more so, but I can’t wait till someone else posts them….

Sorry folks, here endeth the tantrum…I’ll wait and see what turns up in the next few days…..Steff.

Thanks skz. I understand your frustration but please don't give up on it just yet, we all rely on you to cheer up our Saturday mornings!
Bother, I rejected Pitch Black because it was in the clue.

1ozzy thanks I’ve tried that ....it’s ok if I want to do the crossword online and submit directly....not what I want ....I want to print off a copy and do it at leisure..,,I don’t imagine I’m the only one but there doesn’t seem to be an alternative to their new scheme :((((

Thank you tearinghair that’s very sweet....I don’t want to step down just yet but this new system isn’t going to work for me

When you are on the HERCULIS page ...click on MORE (top right) ..."print " is in the list there

[seekeerz]

Ah, thanks Roslyn….I’ll investigate further :))

[1ozzy]

Give it a go Seekz.
It may work.

i like the weekly KM links, i know i don't always get points, but i would miss it if its not posted.

[aelmpvw]

i'm not happy with the new system either. Where are you supposed to type your linked words and can you still enter by email?

[roslyn251254]

aelmpvw....after you press the submit button (top right) for your full grid..a box comes up with spaces for the 4 double links to be filled in

[MargoTester]

Please don't give up Steff you would be much missed x Both Toaster and I put pitch black and then changed our minds as it was in the clue - doh!

[aelmpvw]

thanks roslyn

[roopower]

Good gracious, never heard of the second two......doesn't bode well for the rest of the month! Thanks for your hard work, steff

[Arksided]

Don’t give up you wimp, I’m still waiting for space weevil to come up. Maybe take a short break from it and enjoy some more Hobnobs. Xx

[seekeerz]

Thanks again, Roslyn …after pressing lots of ‘buttons’ I think I’ve got a copy to print off ….fingers crossed :))

Steff, I can understand you being frustrated and wanting to enjoy your crossword, but I love doing the km links and if you stopped doing them, i would miss you and it terrible

Ducks xx

[aelmpvw]

you'll find the giant general knowledge crossword on the link provided by ozzy

[seekeerz]

Watch it, Arky or I’ll sic the spaceweevil onto you !!

Thanks guys, for the support …I do hate it when things get changed around, just set in my ways I think….must be getting old and cranky with it !!

[Arksided]

Space weevil would be under the grill, it’s from Red Dwarf btw.

I do know what you mean old cranky lady Xx

It annoys me when you have a simple system set up and some hooting toothy nob messes with it, thinking they’re improving it.

[Arksided]

Like AB for eg changing my wording *hoity toity! Could be my phone though
