MM Links June 2008 [Week 5]

[crofter]

We are coming to the end of a memorable reign of The Dinky Duke in which I have been AWOL for a couple of weeks. My sincere thanks go to gen2 for such a polished performance in my absence and "Congratulations" to The Dinky Duke, himself for being virtually self-sufficient. We shall see his last set of four words to be linked tomorrow morning at 9.00am.

Also look out for seekeerz from Oz, who is the regular organiser of the international version of this same game (called KM Links). That usually kicks off at the unearthly hour of about 06.30am in which we attempt to predict the four link words of the Daily Telegraph's weekend challenge. Quite a few entrants have scored 4 out of 4 here in the recent past.

What will happen tomorrow is anyone's guess. Certainly the winner of the MM June's Challenge will earn the right to set the links throughout the month of July! There are several in the leading bunch ~ but the winner will have to hold their nerve.

Me? I am crofter, Keeper of the Rule Book and Ancient Abacus.

See you tomorrow, but until then "Happy Linking"!

:o)

Now I know that a lot of you Shrubberesses are not as old as you like to pretend, so I have posted this to celebrate your true age - and don't pretend you are not:

Good evening.
Jan, where did you find that picture of me and my mates?
Great record strix, I remember quite well when that first came out,........... not ashamed of my age - we had really great music then.

[Strix]

I have no doubt the party went something like this (a modern verson of a Noel Coward song by the Divine Comedy). Probably a bit grown up for some you gals:

Hi everyone....my daughter is having a Body Shop Party...so I will be popping in and out!!!
Hopefully they will go early...but I doubt it somehow!!!

I am supervising in case she said it was Body Shop...and it turns out to be Anne Summers!!! :-))

[jan1956]

are you going to post make over pics pauline?
I bet there is booze to keep the body shop party going!

[Strix]

Do you mean, Pauline, that if it were to turn out to be an Ann Summers party you would want to be involved?

They are pretty small sandwiches - will there be enough for us all ?

[Strix]

So it's a PBAB party. (Please bring a battery party!). In my case probably for me needing to have my heart re-started after the Anne Summers display.

This cross-reference may be lost on some but here goes (for Pauline and friends):
