Let's Link Again

[crofter]

The weekend is upon us and wheels are about to be set in motion for The MM and KM Link Games, where ABers pit their wits against rogerr and the mighty Herculis. This is an International Event linking scorers from England and Australia in which both sides are winners (not a bit like Cricket). We are expecting entries from across Europe and even from the Caribbean.

The game is like Blankety Blank and there are two versions (two for the price of one) and entry is free! The MM version run this month by Barbara who sets the Words to be linked and will kick off with a new posting on AB at 9.00am tomorrow (sharp). More details given there!

The KM version is refereed by Steff (aka seekeerz) and the Words to be linked come from Saturday 's DT and their Links come from Monday's DT. The idea is to try to predict Monday's Link Words. We have in the past had one person score 3 out of 4 (but never all four).

WARNING If you are a Herculis purist, then don't open this second posting until you've solved the Crossword for yourself. Our intention is to give added value to the DT Crossword without spoiling it for anyone.

The games run for at least 34 hours, so there should be plenty of time to get your predictions in! Hits score points and weekly totals are added to find the Monthly Winner!

[crofter]

I see that seekeerz has already kicked off!
Please feel free to use this posting as a scribble pad and keep the "official" posting clear for the morning when the new Link Words are posted!

The other MM site will not appear until the time is approaching 9.00am tomorrow.

Good Luck to you all - whatever your aim!

Look forward to it Crofter.....going to go for the kill this weekend!!!...oh well I am 'a real wind up!'
Good Luck everyone!

[crofter]

Ont-ice did well to create that anagram for your name, Pauline - but it fits you well as "Mrs Motivator".

As for you pulling off the coveted "4 out of 4" score, I would just love it to happen! - Who knows when?

[sarumite]

Spurred on by crofter naming paulineward " A Real WInd-up" (see above) ... my lack of success so far in the links game puts me in "A Semi Rut" but maybe "I Rate Sum" and should should show that I " Is Mature".... " 'Ear I Must" not be "A Mute Sir" but should carry on regardless and show that I can "Aims True" in my quest for the perfect 4? ........
" Um Satire??"

Apologies for this piece of nonsense .. but crofter did invite us to scribble!! Cheers ;0)

[Aquagility]

Anyone want to join me standing in the dark and the cold outside the newsagents?

[rogerr]

Good luck everyone!
Please note--people nipping out to post in their raincoats is OK.
The thought that they are not wearing pyjamas under neath--not good!
Note--Please collect discarded Zimmer frames and odd furry slippers from crofters lost property dept.

I've got my flask ready and blanket, now where did I put that umberella.

[JoolsTwo]

Mu umbrella not in there is it Barbara?

[rogerr]

Aquagility--you are in the wrong place---try the shrubbery.
Unless you were on a different mission of course!

[rogerr]

JimJools --get it quick before crofter puts it on ebay!

[rogerr]

Sarumite--stop eating anagrams and go to bed--very clever though!!

[sarumite]

Was thinking about staying up tonight .. to make certain of first place in the queue !!

[paulineward]

Excellent Sarumite...always a man of many words!!
In the shrubbery ..listen out for the shout of ' a u mister!'...as you are hiding and scrambling for first place.

[rogerr]

OK samurite, but watch out for the snowball fight at dawn!

[bridgenut]

Think I'll have to make a urgent bid with of my name then.

[rogerr]

Oh whatsits, Iv'e done the samuri bit again!!!!

[rogerr]

I thought the latest scare was bird flu, not anagramitis!!

[crofter]

You crazy crew sell the Link Games better than I ever could!

What clever anagams you have found! So clever - that you must have picked them up from a website!

You are so committed to weekend frolics - it can only be described as heartwarming. In fact, if you're not yet "committed" then soon will be!

[Dustybun]

one should never 'snub duty' so this is a formal complaint about all the noise that's been going on in the shrubbery. How is a body supposed to sleep with all that chatter and giggling going on? :O)

[crofter]

How's the weather been out in the shrubbery?
I've just had a message from Ont-ices in the Caribbean:
The white stuff on the ground is NOT sand
Anybody want to borrow some snowshoes?

They have also got a sledge and huskies going cheap!
"That's funny" says Aquagility,"They usually go GRRRRR!"
