MM & KM Links December 2007 [Week 4]

[gen2]

This is the FINAL WEEK in the reign of Queen Kay the Proficient who has now mastered the complex art of launching the MM link words and who will capably demonstrate that last week wasn't just a fluke. Hopefully you have all enjoyed guessing the links as much as Queen Kay has enjoyed setting them.

Remember: The thread should be opened by Queen Kay at about 8.45 am. The MM Link Game should then be officially launched when she sets her four words to be linked at 9.00am.

The international version of this same game is called KM Links and kicks off at the unearthly hour of about 06.30am! Look out for seekeerz from Oz who provides the entertainment, refreshments and rule of law when dealing with that parallel game. In this case, the choice of words and their links are out of our control. They are the grey words chosen by Kate Mepham in her Crosswords in the Daily Telegraph on Saturday and Monday!

As you see, I have declared this to be the FINAL WEEK of this month's game - even though the calendar has 5 weekends. The setters and scorers deserve a break and many players may be otherwise occupied over the festive period. The sharp eyed amongst you will also have noticed that this wasn't posted by crofter which means that he is otherwise involved again this weekend and I, gen2, will be in charge of his abacus for the crucial climax of the December game - I just hope the beads don't get caught up in the tinsel.

I now have a few questions:- Will Psychic Pauline be able to hold onto her narrow lead? Will her head be clear enough to pick up the vibes after tonight's revelry? Will BigMac or slaney manage a sprint finish to overtake? Or maybe even an outsider?

I now declare the 'Shrubbery' open, and in the words of 'Aqua' "Lets go Party!"

Now I'm ging to sit back with a glass and watch them right now on Channel 5

[BigMac]

Would love a drink of champagne, beer, wine, anything, in the shrubbery, on the bus, wherever, but fear that Lemsip cocktails are not admissible....

Good luck, everyone.

[paulineward]

That looks good!
We'll do something Jan!...Mystery tour on Double Decker perhaps!

[jan1956]

love the picture Gen2
I was just looking for a link to your rockery and some wine for the shrubbery

Sarumite must be entertaining his sister, he is quiet tonight

Oh ho, I see the "gals" are piling in early �e soir no doubt expecting that their better halves are out buying them something in the scent or nightie section of their local emporium.

Meanwhile I am sure the hubbies, like I did earlier, have slipped down the local hostelry for a few bevvies.

Whilst there they will probably ask the buxom barmaid for a few hints as to what, this year, "laydees" would like for their prezzy (actually probably nothing more than an uninterrupted night's sleep if truth be known!).

Good luck, girls, and may your wishes come true!

Have a very Merry Christmas - bring on the Tia Maria, the Drambuie, the Glayva, the Grand Marnier, the Cointreau and the inevitable "I don't feel very well......must be something I ate!"

with best wishes
Strix

[paulineward]

You know us too well Strix!

[jan1956]

why do men leave the gift buying so late, a man was complaining last night about our selection of cards for his wife.I wanted to say "well it is the 20th, you should have bought your card earlier!"
I kept quiet though(not like me is it)
Hope strix was not leaving us so quickly Pauline.
Is he scared to be alone with us???
shall we gang up on him?

[paulineward]

I think they get scared on their own Jan..safety in numbers with men!

[Strix]

This particular recipe may help you gals to oblivion, amnesia and an un-wakeable sleep!

Evening ladies, has anybody got any turkey sandwiches?I've only had one Christmas dinner this year so far, so I'm feeling deprived. No Pauline, I said deprived not depraved.

[Strix]

Isn't "deprived" a precursor to becoming depraved?

[jan1956]

would love a shrubbery cocktail, maybe we could set up our own still and make a kind of moonshine,
we could market it "shrubbery"
would make a million
yes! this time next year Pauline we will be millionaires!

[Magyar]

You're probably right Strix, depraved it is then.

[paulineward]

We'd drink all the profits Jan...living with all these depraved men!!
