MM Links May 2008 [Week 1]

[crofter]

This will be the first week in the reign of Lady Judy aka JMR27 and once again the incoming Champion has had to work very hard to acquire the necessary IT skills to fulfil her royal duties tomorrow. However, she has proved to be as committed as all previous Champions to providing you tomorrow with an exciting game of MM Links!

Talking of being "committed", have you noticed that Pauline has been active once more promoting the Dragonfly Quiz III? She is committed like no other ~ and deserves to be committed more than anyone else I know! She is aiming to break through the �2K barrier for funds raised for the Chidren's Hospice Dragonfly Project and I have every faith in her ability to sell fridges to the Eskimos.

Talking of Eskimos, slightly belated "Happy Birthday" greetings to kayakamina. He does more to promote good fellowship on AB than virtually anyone else!

Taking of "fellowship", I look forward to seeing your predictions when the MM Link Game should be launched by Lady Judy, who will set 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 will be back to start a brand-new game and will do her usual fantastic job keeping scores for that parallel game.

As for me, I am Keeper of the Rule Book and Sacred Abacus. Tonight is Quiz Night at the local CC and I will be a simple punter tonight. It's my turn to be Quiz Master in June!

Wish me luck!

:o)

Crofter,

Strix, If you are doing Crofter's (Pauline's) quiz you should have absolutely no trouble with number 11.

I was fortunate in that two weeks ago I attended my first pub quiz and one of the questions was about Sheffield. As a result it enabled me to answer that question without any problem..

[gen2]

And while I'm about it, Thank You very much Crofter for a most enjoyable quiz - It helped to pass the time while I was waiting for my car to get its MOT.

ofcourse we wish you luck Crofter, now if you wanted to whisper any clues to the quiz or the links I would not tell :-)
Glad you are here early strix, have you brought supplys???

Crofter!!! I think I will be committed one day...had a right week!

Quiz is going well...so far so good!

Time to relax tonight and wonder what Lady Judy has in store for us.

Any hints?

[Strix]

gen2,

I limit my exertions to doing the Telegraph cryptic each day, the GK and the Herculis and the generalist from Prospect mag. So I have not attempted Pauline's quiz

The rest of the time I wait in ambush mode for the harpy's that hang upside down from the branches of the shrubbery and only flutter down for fresh blood on a Friday night (Venus's day and the day of bad luck for those who choose to start their journey on this day).

Brave man that I am, I know that (rugger matches permitting) I have sarumite at my side along with others.

Get your corkscrews at the ready, I am prepared, let havoc commence........

Good evening crofter, gen2 and strix - nice to see the male contingent on here - no doubt the girls will be along soon to spoil the peace !
Thanks crofter for the latest dragonfly quiz - yes gen2 I have got question 11 - quite clever clue.

[x-ray]

Too late - oh well

[gen2]

Yes, the Pauline invasion has started and I wouldn't like to be in Strix's shoes now he has admitted to not doing the Dragonfly quiz (Yet!)

Have to leave you now for a bit - have grandson staying for a few days and he needs a bedtime story or something to settle him down for the night. I suggested a whisky but Mrs Gen2 is having none of it, so a story it has to be.

May be back later.

apropos Dragonfly et al. I have to confess I am bit of a new boy at senior school with all these quizzes (dragon) flying around.

I must, as the teachers always said "pay attention and try harder".

Oh well, the child is the father of the man!

Hi Pauline,
Thanks for the swift reply with the quiz, the post office really excelled itself.
Have already started on it today.

[evsajo]

Hello Pauline, hope you are OK. Still haven't sent for quiz, Sorry, will do it tonight!!!!

[Strix]

Oh, evsajo, I love the construct on how you are working out who, what, and from where I am.
I look forward to your next guesses
An additional clue, the elder of the owlets and I spent three days at St Andrews this week.
And jan1956, I agree about the screw-top bottles but let's pretend we only drink fine wines.

[paulineward]

x-ray...have tried to return them all by return of post!

Hi Kay...shall I come and collect it???

Now I need a drink...what are we all having?

[jan1956]

and yes it is a screw top bottle.

[evsajo]

Sorry Strix, made an error, you are half Scottish.
Pauline, yes i could do with some laughter tonight. Another duvet day!!!
I will expect you in about 2 hours!!!!!

[paulineward]

Kay...I've got to stay here!! Just had a call from my cousin to tell me my aunt is not well.
Will have to go and see her in hospital tomorrow.

Never mind...you never know though when I will knock on your door!!! :-))

I am on the red wine tonight Jan.....

Any recommendations for the weekend folks?
