KM Links Game for March week 2

[seekeerz]

After all the excitement of last week, calm and peace has been restored and hopefully the typist won't make a dogs breakfast of it all

Just a note before getting down to tin tacks Gravit8 -I did appreciate your entry for Gladstone, Queensland - I was really chuffed, but thought you were stretching things a bit - sorry, seems Kate saw it the same way.

Oh dear, our star turn of last week did a complete 180 and was not able to add to his score this week - never mind wickedtongue - even the genius is allowed a bad hair day, but don't make a habit of it.

JILLYSBOY at #2 was the first 2 pointer with what was to become a firm favourite - the Gladstone Bag.

He was followed simultaneously by sarumite and paulineward with Negative Equity, so double points to both of you.

Next 2 pointer went to Aquagility with Gift Token and was also on deck early to post the results for us and the final 2 points went to lysander coming in after the initial flurry at 8.47 with Corporate Hospitality.

So to sum up - sarumite, Aquagility & lysander all lead the charge with a hot shot plus 1 extra point = 3 points each

Also on 3 points for three good selections are Arabesque & netkey

Leading the group with 2 points is JILLYSBOY & paulineward with their hot shots, followed by Mr Jim Jools, Christiana, Dinkpuzzled, bridgenut, burgess3334, teacher1, twosearch, Shazza Hewat
[onya, Shazza !!] jayemcee, Ramjet & devadiva

[seekeerz]

Following right after was quite a group all with one point were slaney, DizzyLizzie, ulysses100, cliffyg, seekeerz, Magyar, crofter, Jan1956, rogerr, Mrs JimJools, Dustybun -so no more grizzling from you Miss Dusty !!! chriss, Eiggam, homeresque, gen2, shaneystar2, Paul21455, bangor, chiefpanda, Big Mac, masterchef, Ont-ice, keyboardix, Gravit8, Headley, cpfcrosiel, Elspeth, kettledrum & brizzer

Well done everyone - I think we're all beginning to find our way onto Kate's wavelength, some of us more slowly than others, but we're getting there.

Commiserations again to ChrisHewat perhaps the way to go might be to swap your picks with Shazza but I've a feeling she'd never let you get away with it !! Chin up though, mate, you'll get there.

Think that's about all from the desk down-under, Aquagility tells me the sun's shining and he thinks the birds are singing, or perhaps it's the other way around - well down here both the sun and the birds have gone to bed, so I'll bid you all adieu Steff

[sarumite]

Well done Steff, did you borrow crofter's counting beads to come up with such detailed stats?

Please don't tell Ont-ice that I scored again, as he may try to bar me from the Free fall club!! Mind you I can see his name on the score sheet, so fingers crossed.

Cheers ☺

[JoolsTwo]

Well I am Banning Jim from the games from now on. It's just not on, him coming in here and then beating me on BOTH games this week. He will be impossible to live with. :-)

[paulineward]

Never mind Jools..behind every good man is a brilliant woman!!!
Thanks seekeerz for all your hard work...it is really appreciated! This provides good fun over the weekend for us all, and provides a slot for some friendly banter!!!
Congratulations to all scorers!

[teacher1]

Two points, Yes two points !!!! I can't believe it. Congrats to the top scorers and thanks to all concerned in running the comp. See you all next week.

[bangor]

Hooray, got one right. Congratulations to the high scorers and to my fellow one pointers.

[seekeerz]

Hi all, poor Jools, you're having problems with your other half I know, don't they get full of themselves when they think they're winning !!! Yes I think a short spell of ..errrr, well I'll think of something !!

sarumite - the Norwegian certainly paid off, though I can't quite figure how, even getting to the starting line with all the dots and dashes, and the snow shoes - doesn't bear thinking about.

but pauline has done very well this week and the less said about Reg for now - he's probably plotting with Jim !!
so we all just keep plugging away and see what we can manage next week. bye for now Steff

[kettledrum]

Thanks Steff for the calculations - not that my input requires much effort to process! How come I only score when I'm being 'sensible' as opposed to 'creative'. I may have to consider a change of tactics on the KM game in future. I've got all week to think about it - but then watch out everybody!!

[Ont-ice]

Congratulations to all the winners.
Looks like the Ont-ices are making a habit of losing. Perhaps playing possum before the really BIG prize.

Don't know what to say to Pauline and Jules, but you certainly have my sympathy. The crowing will go on and on and on. Ear plugs, perhaps?

Samurite. You're walking a very very thin line re your membership at Free Fall. You have been warned.

[lysander]

I am so thrilled to get three points I can hardly type this reply! I am making the most of getting in early as shortly my other addiction will start. The local car boot!!

Many thanks to all who keep this fun going.

[evsajo]

A big zero for me but I'm not downhearted, I will try harder next week. Lysander at last I've seen someone else with my other hobby, car boot sales. Good hunting !!!!!! Sorry forgot to say hello to everyone,and good luck for next weeks words.

[ChrisHewat]

Well seekeerz thank you for your commiserations - I think retirement might be the best option! Another 0 0 weekend! Having shown Shazz what to do, I have hardly scored a point since!!

Heartiest congrats to all the smarties out there with points (inc Shazz) and to the trusty markers, helpers and scorers. Oh for next week's comps - can't wait! Going to look for a duck breaking implement this week - wonder what Bernard uses!

[Elspeth]

Thank you Bangor for giving a mention to the one-pointers. I'm thinking of branching out with a Failure Club, with myself as the most successful member! Anyone else feel free to join. I think the main reason for my failure is not being able to get into the shrubbery with the rest of the gang. . Ah well, I shall keep trying. Best wishes to everyone and especially you good people who work so hard to keep us entertained.

[JILLYSBOY]

Two points, my luck has finally changed, thanks for your time and trouble seekeerz..I now look forward to the next round with even more relish.
