MM & KM Links February 2008 [Week 1]

[gen2]

This being the first weekend of the month, we have a new setter for the MM Links game and welcome King Fordward to the throne. He nearly backed out after winning the January game but was finally persuaded to set the links for you. Although his work means that he cannot always be available to post at the specified time, his introduction and chosen words will be posted by myself at the usual time.

King Fordward is also out this evening so is unlikely to visit the shrubbery tonight. However, the shrubbery is open for the rest of you to scheme strategies, ponder possibilities and muse on the mechanisms of the male mind. Strix, ulysses100 and particularly Magyar managed rare glimpses into the mind of Pauline last month, but who will be able to fathom the mind of King Fordward? Will there be any clues in his preamble? Will you be able to spot them if there are? Will a virtual alcoholic haze help you to get on his wavelength? Only time will tell.

As usual, the bonus points will be there for the taking as you nurse your hangovers out of the shrubbery at 9:00 am tomorrow and remember that King Fordward's thread will be opened by gen2 at about 8.45 in the morning. The MM Link Game should then be officially launched when the four words to be linked are posted at 9.00am. Then it is up to yourselves.

The international version of this same game is called KM Links and kicks off at the unearthly hour of about 06.30am! Look out for seekeerz from Oz who provides the entertainment, refreshments and rule of law when dealing with that parallel game. In this case, the choice of words and their links are out of our control. They are the grey words chosen by Kate Mepham in her Crosswords in the Daily Telegraph on Saturday and Monday!

Have Fun.

Mazie. Putting on the make-up is a time waster so I don't bother. That gives me time to answer the links.

[paulineward]

Ont-ice..I don't know who he is either!!

[jan1956]

ontice he is an illusionist or hypnotist, he is on tv as I speak showing that you can beat the bookies, he has a system apparently!

[paulineward]

...or let him empty dishwasher..when you show him where it is..and how it opens!!

[Strix]

Sarumite, my friend, it is not the cunning plans that win with the ladies it's the simple ones!

Cunning they do all the time, they just can't cope with something straightforward!

If you're named after the place rather than the saint, see you in the Haunch of Venison before closing time..........

[mazie]

I get up at that time every morning Pauline :o(

[paulineward]

[jan1956]

[Ont-ice]

Mazie. Some habits are worth breaking. Think of the freedom. AND you could be Queen Mazie I'm sure if you just set your mind to it. We need all the help we can get now that a king has taken over the throne.

I used to shop at Sainburys but Morrisons meat and fish is so much better <sorry> and it's not so expensive. (I hope you noticed I didnt say cheaper)

[Ont-ice]

Don't tell me that we are both blondes? Well, never make it unless someone sets some real dumb questions.

[Strix]

Blimey, is this turning into a shopping help line?!!

Next the shrubberesses will be handing out gardening tips on how to grow your own organic veg.

Time to reach for the bottle methinks....

[mazie]

Well I'm nearly at the end of my bottle Strix, a very cheeky little red <hic> No, not a blonde O-Ice a bit Anne Robinson in colour.

[gen2]

Think about it Strix, If the Ladies' heads are padded with Kleenex and shopping lists then what is going to be foremost in their minds in the morning - and do you think fordward will pick that as a theme.

[jan1956]

lol
Mazie our fruit and veg may not be th echeapest but it is better, many Morrisons and tescos staff shop with us
