MM and KM Links January 2012 Week [4]

[gen2]

Goodness is it that time of the month already! This weekend you will find out who is January Champion in both versions of the game.

In the MM Links Game, there is as yet no clear contender for the title. Several players are bunched together on just 4, 5 or 6 points so any of them could take the honours - even one of the lower scorers could strike lucky.
The Court Jester (kettledrum) will have one last jest with you in Q&P tomorrow morning (intro at 8:45am, game starts at 9:00). Although bonus points in this game only last for 2 minutes from the discovery of each link, you are free to play any time up until 7pm Sunday when I declare the results.

Seekeerz (down under in Oz) manages our sister game of the KM Links based on the GK crosswords in the Saturday/Monday Telegraph. No time-sensitive bonus points in that one so play any time over the weekend with equal chance of points. That too is launched in Q&P tomorrow morning - usually somewhat earlier than the MM version.

That's the plugs over, now for the party in 'The Shrubbery'.

Mmmmm .. please! Bring it on Pauline ;O)

Evening all

Aren't Horlicks and Ovaltine meant to be 'malt' drinks anyway......I know which I prefer (and it's distilled in the oldest distillery in Ireland!).

[paulineward]

Hi twix...that's true.
It had to have malt in for Sarumite to consider it! :-)

[x-ray]

What about a malteser

[Christiana]

Thought I'd say a brief hello - think I'm into the hot chocolate or horlicks tonight. I'm the opposite of you Pauline. I always went for gin and bitter lemon when I was a young gadabout, but now it doesn't suit me. The Baileys would be quite acceptable though, Kay

[paulineward]

I love maltesers x-ray...they don't have the same affect though! :-)

You could put a tot of something in it Christiana.

[Christiana]

That's true, Pauline - claim it was medicinal or something.

[evsajo]

Sorry, but I was determined to be around tonigh but my friend just phoned (well 2 hours ago !!!!) and she has only just gone !!!! Feel the need fo a bottle of Baileys !!!!

[paulineward]

Just put a straw in the bottle Kay!

[Manxiemo]

Pass the Baileys up here, Evasjo, we're suckers for the stuff in our house. Used to have it in our morning coffee occasionally, now it's every morning and gradually there is getting to be more Baileys and less coffee.
A bit of not-too-smelly cheese to go with it might be nice, Sarumite, if you can spare it.

[paulineward]

Don't spoil it by putting any coffee in Manxiemo! :-))

[x-ray]

Got an early start in the morning so I'm going to say goodnight now.
Will see you all some time tomorrow - won't be one of the early entries to the MM unfortunately, but hope to get on later.

[paulineward]

Good Luck x-ray. You did better than me last week. I was hopeless!
Happy Linking.

[evsajo]

my bottle of Baileys is a BIG one and a Christmas present. Just remembered I like it in coffee so it may be finished more quickly now.
Pauline if you were here I would have drunk some of that lovely wine we had......as you say after the week I have had I need it !!!

[paulineward]

Christiana and Manxie mo likes that wine too! :-))

I just hope everything gets sorted this week with your family Kay. Chin up...

[evsajo]

yes, am going to see James on Sat or Sun. On the positive side Lindseys shop goes from strength to strength.
Regarding the links, I haven't scored one point this month, and I always think I have got some good answers LOL

[paulineward]

I haven't scored well either!
They must be getting harder or I'm getting bad. :-)

I really hope things settle for you, and then maybe you could travel over to Stockport! :-))

[paulineward]

Well I think I will go and hide in the shrubbery now to go and lay in wait for an early assault in the morning.
Last one out....turn the lights out! :-))

I think we should have a fancy dress party next week. :-)

[evsajo]

Yes once James is out of hospital I will get back to normal again. No rude comments either !!!!!

[evsajo]

Well i am going too so perhaps I had better turn the lights off. if next week is fancy dress had better get up in the loft. Have got an inflatable sumo wrestler suit up there !! Nite nite xxx
