MM Links June 2008 [Week 1]

[crofter]

This will be the first week in the reign of The Dinky Duke and I am looking forward to learning more of the incoming Champion. As always, he has taken on the task of setting the links with all the enthusiasm that we have come to expect from our winners. There is usually much to fit in for preparation for the first launch, but this week it has been exceptionally easy! I will be looking out for your predictions when the MM Link Game should be launched by The Dinky Duke, who will set his four words to be linked tomorrow morning at 9.00am.

This week should also mark the return of seekeerz from Oz, who is the gatekeeper for the international version of this same game (called KM Links) and kicks off at the unearthly hour of about 06.30am! It was a tremendous thrill for me, crofter, to win last month's game and to score 4 hits out of 4. However, I think I shall revert to Plan B for the start a brand-new game.

Belated thanks to gen2 & sarumite for covering the absence of seekeerz. Although, we try to be present every single week ~ things do happen that make this impossible and it becomes vital that willing volunteers are ready to fill the gaps!

Talking of gaps, I shall be having a one-week break in Tenerife in the middle of the month and I have been polishing up my karaoke version of "Kingston Town". I also have already been in touch with gen2 to begin planning for substitutions. There's always something going on behind the scenes to keep the show on the road!

As for me, I am Krophta, Keeper of the Rule Book and Sacred Abacus.

Happy Linking!

I can confirm that I have had an email from Steff/Seekerz and her new computer is behaving well enough for her to resume control over the KM Links game.

Welcome back Steff.

Just to get the "laydees" away from their crocheting and tatting, this little piece may get them up and bopping. The volume is low so you will need to crank it up:

[Strix]

Pauline, I had considered it but as it was not after the "9.00 watershed" for the young and those of a nervous disposition I withheld my input, so to speak....

[evsajo]

You obviously meant me Strix!!!!!
I hope you are going to put some good music links on tonight, after the ones from 2 weeks ago.
Pauline and I were disappointed last week as there were so few people on the Link so we both hope lots of people join in tonight, new visitors are more than welcomw!!!!!

[jan1956]

Hi Pauline strix glad the party has started.
what are we all drinking???
am at work tomorrow
no pimms for me please
shall be healthy tomorrow as demonstrating fresh fruit and cookies!!!

[Strix]

Great God, how on earth do you "demonstrate fruit"?
Show a pear, peel a banana, goose-a-berry..?

[evsajo]

The comment about music sounds as if i didn't like your choices 2 weeks ago but I thought they were brilliant and brought back loads of memories. i just hope you put on some more in the same vein as i had forgotten lots of them and it was great to hear them again.

[evsajo]

Blow a raspberry ??
Crush a grape ??

[jan1956]

no I cut it up and put it into little cups for customers to taste and then hopefully buy loads of
ofcourse some just come for a freebie as they alredy know what it is like
but I have to smile and let them take some.
Or even when they pull a face "as it is a bit sour"
just smile!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[evsajo]

Give an Ugli fruit plastic surgery??
Butter a bread fruit

[Strix]

No, Kay, I never thought you didn't the music.
Bit late on supper tonight so more tunes later.

[paulineward]

Just been speaking to Sarumite...he will try and pop on later. He has a few 'caring' duties to take care of first!

How do you all at a kiwi?...I cut it in half and use a spoon like an egg...anything better?

Also what is the best way to peel a pomegranate?

[jan1956]

we now sell pomegranate "ready to eat" as all the seeds in a tub
must admit I prefere the natural ready to eat in it's skin!!

[LaneyB]

Evening all, glad you managed to get on Pauline, just popped in to say Hi before watching "Across the Andes" with the disabled teenagers.
Loved the music Strix brought back memories. Hope your eye is better Kay.
Have a good day with the fruit tomorrow Jan, any English Strawberries?
