MM Links April 2009 (week 1)

[beejay1124]

Good Morning ABers everywhere!
This is Brian (aka beejay1124) calling all the way from County Antrim, Norn Iron! After a little thought crofter has dubbed me Baron Brian. That's a much better title than Baron Hardup of Cinderella fame ("Oh No it isn't!", I hear you all cry).
I live in a rural part of NI and have developed over the years an appreciation of the local flora and fauna, and still prefer the country lifestyle. If I visit the UK cities, it's usually for soccer (Liverpool or Glasgow Rangers) although my first love (sport-wise) is for the oval-shaped ball! I relax with my mates over a nice drink and indulge in a "wee bet" every so often. Talking of being "relaxed", that's not how I'm feeling now!! I think I should cut the blarney and get the game started

[beejay1124]

It goes without saying that I shall follow the rules relating the word length as introduced by crofter. Each of my chosen link words contains at least four letters and at most eight. Stray outside this range and you will be wasting one or more of your attempts! Each of my selected words may go in front of or after my challenge word. The competition will officially close at 7.00pm on Sunday evening when crofter will declare my selected words, then apply the same rules for awarding points that have been applied during all MM Link Games in the past. My first set of words to be linked should appear below at 9.00am.
