This week's game is over so I can now reveal the chosen links of King John II were:-

WATER BUFFALO
NARROW BOAT
ARROW HEAD
BOWLINE

All were discovered but, like last week, there were some that favoured early players and others stood the test of time to reward later players.

Once again roslyn2512544's knejerk reaction proved accurate as she immediately hit the double of NARROW BOAT and ARROW HEAD for 4 points.
Christiana, Manxiemo, patchett & owllady were in time for the bonus on the latter (2 points each).
Surprisingly, since King John II had already expressed an interest in canal boats, nobody selected 'narrow boat' in the next hour but it then regained popularity.

The next to fall was BOWLINE, chosen by kawakiri (along with 'narrow boat and 'bowline) for 4 points. Another link that regained popularity later in the game.

Now that elusive 4th link held out until 10:20 when relative newcomer BIGJACK dipped more than his toe in the water and found a WATER BUFFALO alongside a 'narrow boat' for 3 points.
Surprisingly, nobody else spotted a water buffalo apart from myself who saw one in the shrubbery on Friday night! Now there's a coincidence!

Despite there being 5 double-hitters, the observant amongst you will already have realised that we had a treble-hitter this week.
*** THE HOTSHOT ***
*** THIS WEEK IS ***
**** K A W A K I R I ****

And the scorers this weekend were:
4 kawakiri
4 roslyn251254
3 bigjack
2 Christiana
2 Elspeth
2 Manxiemo
2 owllady
2 patchett
2 regward
2 ulysses100
1 Aquagility
1 Baza
1 BigMac
1 Brenden
1 ChrisHewat (CHRIS)
1 Euphemia
1 Handbaglady
1 jobjockey
1 joto
1 Ont-ice (Mrs)
1 seekeerz
1 wickedtongue

which makes the top of the leaderboard look like this:
5 kawakiri
5 seekeerz
4 roslyn251254
4 tearinghair
3 bigjack
3 owllady
3 regward
with 15 on 2 points
and 14 on a single point

My apologies for getting TEAringhair's points mixed up with TEAcher1's last weekend. All is sorted now.

'King John II' has now mastered his Ctrl key skills and will be back next weekend to tease you all once more.
So be there next Saturday,
Same time,
Same place.
Happy Linking

Is it the weather keeping you all indoors getting bored?

I was confused this week (it doesn't take much!) because several of you players have changed your avatars! Just when I was getting to know you all too.
