MM and KM Links December 2008 [Week 3]

[crofter]

Good Evening AB Linkers, from North to South Pole!

Welcome to the beginning of the third week in the reign of Lady Slaney, who is off to pastures new for a couple of weeks! More on that tomorrow. Before she went, she left with me two weeks' supply of Links Words and gave me carte blanche to make whatever adjustments that I felt were necessary! [Very unwise] Hence, I shall launch the MM Links posting on her behalf tomorrow morning at 8.45am and declare her words for linking at the usual time of 9.00am. The rest is over to you.

I hope that things will go smoothly, but as some of you regulars may know, my Sunday's posting last week of answers and scores was banned from AB as being "chatter". As soon as I realised what had happened, I fired an email of explanation and as far as I am aware, it has been restored and there should be no repeat this weekend ~ but nothing in this life is certain!

I shall get down immediately to the business in hand before I attract undue attention. If all goes according to plan, the words of Lady Slaney should be declared at 9.00am and I should close the game down at 7.00pm on Sunday and score the entries. Furthermore, seekeerz will open the posting of the international version of this same game which is called KM Links at an earlier time. In this case, the words to be linked come from the Herculis crossword in the Daily Telegraph. Here, the predictions are processed by our very own Wizard(ess) from Oz, seekeerz.

As I always say, "Why not chance your arm at both Link Games?" They remain open for most of the weekend and all entries are scored and entered on to master scoreboards. There are over 40 regular entries every week and newcomers are always welcome.

Until we meet again, may I wish you all "Happy Linking"!

:o)

Bit of an iffy tummy tonight...so hopefully I will be okay.

Most of the shopping is done...and I am almost ready...what about you lot?

We were telling corny Santa jokes elsewhere last night...so any groaners?

What does Santa do with his fat elves?
Sends them to the Elf Farm.

Mulled wine sounds good to me....I had to have one when I came off the golf course this afternoon (to try to warm up)!

Just think how lucky we are:

Hello from the Mad House!!!!!! My daughter son in law and 2 grandsons arrived from Brixham at about 5pm, and now I wonder why I spent yesterday and today tidying up ready for them!!!!!!!! Lindsey, Mike and Evie are also here and Nicky's friend Tina too. The adults have just had chilli and the kitchen is a battle field!!!!Nicky is going in the sea at Brixham on Boxing day for charity and wants a fancy dress so I have been in the loft and got my suitcase full of D/up clothes. They are now all sitting round in wigs, false boobs, cleopatra outfit, schoolgirl outfit!!!! Just hoper we don't have surprise visitors!!!!

[paulineward]

Kay has the copyright for that! She has some other ABers on one also....but I don't want to be sued! :-))

[paulineward]

Kay...can I ask what you are doing with them all in your loft?...especially the schoolgirl outfit!!!!

[paulineward]

That was good to watch twix...we are lucky, you are right.

[jan1956]

[paulineward]

Enjoyed your quiz...must post it back to you now I have actually finished it....if they are all right is another question!!

[paulineward]

Evening all. That's better - a few more people here than when I called in earlier.
Has the party started yet ?

[Magyar]

Hi Pauline. Whatever you do, don't forget Reg's whisky.
Look forward to getting your quiz to mark. I think I must have made it too easy this year then if you've finished it already !!

Hello Pauline.
Do you mean to say you have even got No.29 in Johns quiz ?
I hope it's not Sugar Raisins etc etc.
