KM Links Game - August week 3 Results

[seekeerz]

The minutes are counting down till the matches are revealed for yet another riveting weekend in the current competition.

Shortly one of our early risers and problem solvers will [hopefully] post the link words, to be followed by some predictable reactions - hisses and boos or squeals of disbelieving glee and the comp will be all over, till next weekend !!!!

We wait with bated breath....................................................

[JRB]

Here goes ..............

IRON lung
EARL grey
DEAD weight
study HALL

I only got one right - how many did you all get?

[seekeerz]

Good morning and thank you, JRB, how's Jersey looking this morning ? bright and sunny I hope and I trust you're well also.

I think I might have got one too, so good luck and I'll go do my juggling act.

[seekeerz]

As so often happens, there's the first mad flurry of activity with the early risers vying for bonus points and then there's a bit of a lull in proceedings and this was the case again this week.

Iron Lung was the first to go with bridgenut, freebi2 & Jan1956 all taking 2 points each within the two minute time frame and right behind was seekeerz with Earl Grey [extraordinary when you realise she can't stand the stuff]

Then there was that lull again, and then JMR27 came along, and with a double - header took out all the remaining bonus points with Study Hall and Dead Weight - this is not the first time this has happened - is JMR27 psychic, a very deep thinker or is there a hot line to Kate ??? Nah, can't be, Aquagility tried that one and got no where and if he can't, well no of us can - so Congratulations JMR, I think that would be the Hot Shot for this week !!!

The rest of the scoring was on the 'quiet side' - miss meg, patchett & wickedtongue all scored two points each for correct matches and Fibonacci, Aquagility, cliffyg, Dizzy Lizzie, Christiana, chiefpanda, JRB, crofter, Jim, roslyn [sorry about the numbers, will put them on the next score sheet] LaneyB, Magyar, Muzz, twosearch, masterchef, cheshunt, Cleocima, keyboardix & brizzer all scored 1 point, mostly with an Iron Lung - hope this is not indicative of the state of our health !!!!

Now I must scoot out and do a quick bit of shopping and when I return, I'll post a copy of the score sheet for this stage of the month and I do hope I've not left anyone off so far. back shortly, S

[sarumite]

Thanks Steff ... you've left me off the list .... but that's only because I scored absolutely zilch !!!
Enjoy the shopping .. if that's possible! ☺ (S)

[paulineward]

Come to the conclusion I am such an odd person...Nobody thinks the same as me!!!!....wonder why?...Thanks anyway seekeerz for regularly keeping us all going on this!!

Well done anyone who did better than me....that's all of you!!

Got BT coming today to upgrade our package....now what's the betting I get cut off????

[sarumite]

Hi Pauline ... well there's a coincidence, I've also got BT coming today. Arrangements were made to fit new 'phone lines etc to replace cable, but soon after this my problems were sorted so I decided to stay with cable.

Have tried to contact BT customer services several times to cancel work but joined queues (once for 52 minutes!!) and still unable to get through!! Their engineers will not be pleased when they arrive .. but then neither am I for wasting so much time!!! They had better not start me off !!!!

lol (S)x

[jan1956]

2 points on MM and KM at least I am consistent! S ofcourse she will enjoy the shopping (its a woman thing!) hope Bt sort you out pauline (if that is possible!)lol
jan

[paulineward]

My connection is fine Jan...it's just Reg wants their Vision package, since we seem to have better connection where we are with BT. You bet though, something will go wrong!! I am happy on line to my friends...and they are going to come and interfere!! :-((

[JoolsTwo]

I don't seem to be able to link up with Kate at all - Thank goodness for the MM links. :-)

Steff is the Jim on your list my Jim because I don't think he has 2 points he only got 1 match and was not within the 2 mins either.

[paulineward]

Yes Jools!.....don't let him have an extra point!!! :-))

[JoolsTwo]

No way Pauline - I'm not letting him away with anything. :-)

[seekeerz]

thanks for the thought, sarumite - I hate shopping at the best of times [ strange for a female, I know !! ] and today's short foray proved totally fruitless, I have to go and do it all again, tomorrow !!!

Jools - yes it's your Jim I mentioned, but he's only down for one point - I managed to make the usual dogs breakfast of typing up the scores, but if you read it with your left eye shut and your fingers crossed behind your back, it actually does look right.

Niw this is where it gets unbelievable - scores at the end of this weekend -

10 points seekeerz
9 points Aquagility
8 points freebi2
7points Fibonacci
6 points JMR27
5 points Jim [of JimJools] wickedtongue &
twosearch

4 points bridgenut, Alibobs, JRB, Eiggam
cliffyg & brizzer


So things just might get a bit interesting come next weekend, I'd stay out of the shrubbery at all costs as there may be some attempts made at nobbling !!! have a good week everyone, see you later, S

[JoolsTwo]

LOL - I tried that Steff and managed to fall flat on my face at the same time. :-)

[sarumite]

Wow! top spot Steff .. and with Aqua AWOL you may just stay there!!
What's it like up there looking down on us minions??
lol (S)

[Ont-ice]

Big fat zilch for the Ont-ices - again!
Pauline you're not the only one who thinks differently to everyone else. We're way out in never-never land.
Congratulations to all who scored. Well done.

[Alibobs]

Thanks Steff

[seekeerz]
