I have been having trouble with AB all day and may need another route to get these results into the public domain.

It proved another healthy round as the third week in the reign of Pope Adrian aka twix123 swung into action. Let me begin by declaring his chosen Link Words under the theme of Commuting:

BRIDAL Train
Station MASTER
Ticket OFFICE
RAIL Guard or Guard RAIL

Once again, the early birds came in for some rich pickings with some very surprising names amongst the scorers! Opening the attack again was roslyn with STATION MASTER with a long string of fellow scorers in the form of x-ray, ulysses100, centrino & Grenmus ~ each picking up TWO POINTS. This list should have also included Christiana who had second thoughts and dropped her only hit!

Don�t faint everybody, but at this early hour came Kay aka evsajo with TICKET OFFICE to score a well overdue TWO POINTS! She was closely followed by a double hitter in the guise of tearinghair to repeat last week�s performance and pick up yet another FOUR POINTS! I therefore have great pleasure in announcing her HOT SHOT OF THE WEEK!
*** Let trumpets sound and cannon roar ***
*** Let the people cheer and shout �Encore� ***

Entrant #14 was grannydi declaring �without much hope� and then proceeded to pick up THREE POINTS for her efforts! There�s more! Two predictions down the line came seekeerz declaring �Fat chance !!!� and brought home GUARD RAIL (and Station Master for good measure) to score THREE POINTS!

The game slowly ticked on with BRIDAL TRAIN still to be found. It took the very last entrant in the form of Canadian Joanna to strike a note for all you romantics out there and claim the last hit for TWO POINTS. Her husband Bert also picked up a point to boot!


The leaders in the League Table after this third week are

EIGHT POINTS: tearinghair
SIX POINTS: beejay1124 & centrino
FOUR POINTS: Christiana, grannydi, Grenmus, roslyn251254 & ulysses100
THREE POINTS: ChrisHewat, Elspeth, Jools, Ont-iceJo, seekeerz, teacher1 & x-ray

After two weeks of brisk scoring, I wonder what twix123 will have in store for you next Saturday. Why don�t you drop in and find out?

Until then, this is crofter signing off and wishing you �

� HAPPY LINKING!

:o)


You will have realised from the name against this post that crofter is one of the many, who having logged out, cannot log back in again to this bug-ridden site. He has just emailed his report to me and I post in on his behalf.

gen2
well done Kay and tearing hair
I scored zero again
will try next week
thanks to crofter and his trusty abacus
sorry gen2 didn't realise you had control of the abacus this week
thanks
jan
Surprise Surprise - one each. And I originally wrote in Guard Rail and then changed it to Honour Guard. Moral of the story; go with my first choice.
Thanks Twix and thanks again Crofter. That abacus must surely be needing a replacement?
Thanks Gen2. Didn't notice was too busy checking words. You'll be needing a new abacus too very soon.
Wow, thank you! I seem to do better when I'm in a hurry....
obviously thinking carefully isn't my thing! (Why am I not surprised?) Well done to all scorers, and commiserations to Crofter for his problems with the site. I couldn't get on at all a few days ago.

No folks, I wasn't scoring this week, I just posted the report for crofter who is currently locked out of AB.

WORD OT WARNING TO OTHERS.

Don't Log Out - If you do, AB won't let you back in again. - at leat not until the technicians figure out how to log themselves in and fix it.
Thanks crofter and Gen2, and congratulations to all the leaders and scorers.

I seem to have lost the knack of linking anything...
...even though I did go to the trouble of getting out the Swiss Guard for Pope Adrian!
well done all you point scorers and thanks to all the workers.

Can I just back up what gen2 said above. I never log in or out and I never have a problem getting on the site. Mind you, once I get on things can be somewhat slow ...!!! :0)
Well done Kay and tearinghair!
Thanks Crofter...and gen2

Twix....you and I need to talk!!! :-((
Thanks gen2 for stepping in for crofter with the results..
Well done tearinghair - top scorer again. The station master was my only success.
Congratulations also to Kay - you can't say you never win now !!!
Have a good week everybody.....see you all again on Friday
in the shrubbery.
Well it just goes to show it's a complete lottery.
Delighted to get 3 points this week- makes a change!
I usually manage the KM links much better.
Thanks for the warning about loggin in and out, not that I have done so at all but there is always a first time for anything!
Thanks for all your hard work guys - much appreciated.
And it is a bit of fun afterall!
WOW !!!!!! Just got in to find I scored TWO points!!!!!!Thank you Twix for your lovely, wonderful words! Thank you Crofter for your work calculating my score (ps. do you want a new boot for your car....cheap???) and thanks Gen for posting the magnificent news tonight!!!!
Congratulations to all point scorers too!!!!
Am I beating Pauline???


Aha !!! could this be a "cunning plan" - we should look into this, grannydi !!!

Amazing - three points - well it usually takes me all month to get onto the wavelength.

Congratulations all you clever people - and keep up the good work tearinghair !!
