MM Links Solutions June 2007 [Week 1}

[crofter]

I can now reveal the chosen Link Words of gen2 and they are:

Ground SWELL
FARM Yard
FOLK Song
Cherry ORCHARD

Very rural!

All four links were eventually predicted, but there were no additional bonus points under the two-minute rule and precious few points awarded anyway! Don't worry, this is a five-week month, so you'll have plenty of time to tune in to the thoughts of the Laird of the Links!

MORE TEXT TO PASTE IN

Gen2 Y fronts with a kilt? shame on you!

Gen2 ...I know you said no further correspondence, but ........like you I think I'd noticed how un-rural all the choices had been, although I didn't recognise it as such at the time.
You may have noticed that I have my own approach to this game (NOT recommended for anyone who seriously wants to win!). Having been given the words, I try to think up half a dozen or so possible links for each of them. Then I go through what everyone else has chosen and strike out those that have already been selected which usually leaves me with very limited options: sometimes I have to think again & sometimes (very rarely) I even have to go with the flow.
But yesterday I was left with 5 of my original 6 choices to go with YARD - (barn, farm, stable, brick & rick). This was such a surprising event that I actually felt moved to comment on it (somewhat obliquely and without any detail).
This also left me with a bit of a dilemma: I had to make a decision! Although I picked the right one I'm glad to hear that you have back-up words in case your first choice isn't picked.

No Jan, Those were Y-fronts WITHOUT a kilt.
(I have to hide my modesty somewhere)

Bleeerrr, well at least I'm consistant - but there's a ray of hope, my yard broom proves there's a hint of the rural in me !!!
