Mm Links May 2013 Week 2
38 Answers
This is 'Big Mac' returning with week two of the May MM Links malarkey.
We approach summer (seem to have by-passed spring) and colleagues talked longingly last week about getting the barbecues out at the weekend. I thought of them as I walked through the hailstorm last Saturday afternoon heading to work.
The office was – of course – quiet and I could listen to the football reports without disturbing anyone else. Failing to avoid clichés like the plague, there was a roller-coaster of emotion as the second automatic promotion spot was decided in the football league Championship – real nail-biting stuff.
Thursday saw the start of the England Lions v New Zealand XI cricket match, with England captained by Joe Root and joined by fellow Yorkshireman Jonny Bairstow in the team. Good to see that the county side hasn’t been weakened by their loss, with both Balance and Rashid scoring centuries in the first innings against Somerset this week – and Root hitting his own ton for the Lions against New Zealand yesterday.
It really is a difficult time of the year for the armchair sports fan, as the winter and summer sports collide in the calendar. And much as I love sport, was there a little too much coverage of a minor managerial change in Lancashire on Wednesday? I almost missed the Queen’s Speech!

No best answer has yet been selected by BigMac. Once a best answer has been selected, it will be shown here.
For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.According to normal practice, for the everyday running of MM, I shall follow this rule on word length, in that each of my pre-selected link words contains at least four letters and at most eight letters. Stray outside this range and you will be wasting one of your attempts!
Each of the selected link words may go in front of, or behind my challenge word to make a new longer word or to make a well-known phrase or saying. The combination will never be a person's name.
The competition will officially close on Sunday Evening at 7.00pm, when gen2 will declare my pre-selected words and then apply the same rules for awarding points that have been applied during all MM Link Games in the past.
My set of four words to have their links predicted should appear below at 9.00am.
