MM and KM Links March 2012 Week [1]
26 Answers
Last month ended with Slaney top of the leaderboard and initially I offered the throne to her although she had set the links twice before. She reluctantly agreed but secretly hoped another would come forward instead.
Well, second-place Lysander was still in mourning but then 3rd placed GrannyDi offered her services and Slaney was most relieved. In fact I was taken aback a little by the offer since GrannyDi is currently sunbathing on the golfcourses of Gran Canaria. But it was true. She wanted to set the links, so we both agreed.
Unfortunately, the internet connection from Gran Canaria can br somewhat unreliable so it will probably fall upon myself to post the thread but it will be GrannyDi's challenge that you will be facing tomorrow.
Last time, Crofter dubbed her 'Princess Di' and she will continue to use this monicker throughout March. Watch out for the introduction in Q & P at 8:45 tomorrow morning to be followed by the challenge words at 9:00. New players are always welcome to pit their wits against the setter in order to guess what words have been paired to make new words or well known phrases. Be there to take part - the sooner the better because bonuses are most often picked up by the early-birds.
Don't forget our sister game - the KM Links which is based on the Telegraph GK crosswords. That is run by Seekeerz and is launched earlier (usually around 7am) but there are no time-sensitive bonus points in that game so there is no rush - play at your leisure.
The shrubber is now open for discussion, scheming and celebration. Who is going to researcg GrannyDi's previous month of challenges? Will it give them any advantage trying to second-guess her this time round? Who knows? Who cares?
Until tomorrow then - Happy Linking

Daffodils and blossom out here. Can it last? No of course it can't.
Am surrounded by wrapping paper and polystyrene bead-things as I try to fit three birthday presents and four cards (wedding anniversary too) into a box light enough to qualify as a 'small packet' for USA. The room is a complete tip. And the washing line fell down today so a whole load of washing got dirty again. But hey, spring is on the way.

hello all
Weather here in Gran canaria has been pretty good,so much so that I over did it yesterday and I'm more like a boiled lobster than any elegant Princess Diana. Still having trouble connecting to the internet, so will rely on Gen2 to post tomorrow. Not worth the risk of not getting connected.
Enjoy your evening.
