MM and KM Links March 2008 [Week 3]

[crofter]

Good Evening AB Linkers, everywhere!

Welcome to this third week in the reign of Lady Alex, who will continue set the MM Links for the rest of the month. After her Tayside week, we had a Thameside week in which the bonus points were flying around like confetti. My abacus went into overdrive when it came to the scoring! I expect a more subdued weekend ahead, as Lady Alex has been given carte blanche to be as devious as possible.

Last Saturday was International Women's Day and I would lie to pay tribute to the many international women who take part in the Links Games every week. We have representatives from every corner of the globe. Not least is our very own Queen of Oz, seekeerz, who keeps scores for the sister game KM Links. Many entrants enter both games ~ trying to outwit Kate Mepham AND Lady Alex on the same day.

If you wish to chance your arm, look out for the starting times tomorrow on AnswerBank. That�s about 06.30am for KM Links and exactly 09.00am for MM Links. Newcomers are always welcome. Don�t be put off by the group of miscreants known as the �Shrubbery Squad�. Some see them as a positive feature to the game ~ I shall reserve judgement!

Me? I am crofter!
Keeper of the scores and keeper of law and order.
That is, except within the Shrubbery, where lawlessness rules!

See you all tomorrow.

Hi Crofter, hope that "lie" is not a freudian slip (lol)
now that the wind has subsided a bit we may all be out in force in the shrubbery. It may be quiet in Stockport as Pauline has been back to the dentist and is still numb.
Although a drop of Wiskey may loosen her tongue!

Hi Jan....my mouth will loosen up soon I am sure!!

Crofter ..you didn't need to trouble your abacus on my entries!

[jan1956]

Takes more than a dentist keep you quiet dosn't it pauline
:-)

[ladyalex]

Hello everyone!

Just dropped in to wish you all the best of luck tomorrow.

Ladyalex

[Strix]

Can "lawlessness rule"?

As one of the, by crofter, labelled "miscreants" of the shrubbery I thought I would check the dictionary definition of that title; it seems I am i) a wrongdoer or villain or ii) an unbeliever or heretic.

I don't believe I have ever, before, in my life been so flattered.

Let chaos rule!

Corkscrews ready, lads and lasses, and pull.........

Good evening fellow miscreants.
Thankyou crofter for that introduction to the game.
I wonder what mixture of words Ladyalex has lined up for us all tomorrow..............we will see

[paulineward]

Too right Jan!! :-)))

Lady Alex....I have been useless at guessing your train of thought...now that should be a relief to you!!

Something strong Strix for a fellow miscreant!!...with a toothache!

[paulineward]

Hi x-ray....didn't see you!!

[JoolsTwo]

Good Evening All - I'm just of out, but will be back later. So save me something to drink - Pauline can you hide some from the men. Once they get there hands on it I won't get a look in.

See you later. :-))))

[ladyalex]

Well, lots of people got points last week, so who knows how it will go this week....
You'll all have to wait for the morning.

Now, who would like some Chardonnay ?

[burnham]

Hi, Pauline: is that a triple chin I see before me?

[Strix]

I believe, Pauline, that the answer to your woes would easily have been solved 150 years ago. I have a "receipt" book of my wife's great-great whatever grandmother and the Victorians would, in your case go off to the chemist and easily obtain opiates, cocaine or other analgesics without prescription that would have quickly alleviated your "fang pang".

[paulineward]

Hey Strix ...and now you can buy it anywhere! :-((...so I believe!!
You keep drinking Lady Alex...and then we can have a natter about links!!

Definitely a triple triple chin Burnham...sore tooth and no chance of winning links.
Think I should sleep in tomorrow!

[paulineward]

Hope Sarumite fetches a 'magic' potion tonight!....for medicinal purposes!

[x-ray]

Try a triple gin

[burnham]

Stick to the whisky, Pauline (I think Jan's been on it already). Gin gives you a headache. I recommend a good single malt and I'm sure Sarumite will have some for you.

[jan1956]

No whiskey for me (really do not like the stuff) will stick to the wine a friend has pointed in the direction of sauvignon blanc from New Zealand, really nice mmmmmmm
now ladyalex is there anything you want to share tonight???

[ladyalex]

Well, I might share the fact that I have had the builders in all week. Why is it that all builders take 2 sugars in their tea or coffee ? Do they need the energy ?

[jan1956]

well they need somthing to give them that huge cleavage!!!!
