MM and KM Links June 2008 [Week 3]

[gen2]

Good Evening Linkers both MM and KM and "Bon Voyage Crofter" who is away to Tenefiffe for a well-earned break. This is gen2 standing in as overseer and scorer.


It is now mid-month, and for both games it is too soon to predict any winners as there are simply loads of points still on offer. May I remind you that the bonus points are time sensitive and to stand the best chance of picking one up, you need to set your alarm and get in early. The MM game is launched at 8:45 tomorrow morning and the words will appear at 9:00. The KM game (based on the Telegraph GK Crosswords) starts even earlier as soon as someone gets the paper and solves the clues, so be on the lookout out from 6:30 onwards for that one - look for a thread started by seekeerz.


This is week 3 (of 5) in the reign of the Dinky Duke who is all set to puzzle you once again with four more carefully selected words for you to guess the four corresponding linkwords he has chosen. Are you on his wavelength yet?


As most of you are aware, this thread forms the entrance to the 'Shrubbery' in much the same way as a wardrobe allows access to Narnia. Like Narnia it has its good and bad characters but I'll leave you to determine who is which (the witch?).

Just let me pass on a warning issued by Strix earlier in the week . . .


"Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate"


Is it really Hell in there?


PS - If you are hopeless already, then you have nothing to lose - come on in.

[Strix]

Gosh, it's 11.20 and the Shrubbery has been awfully skinny tonight. Has there been cloves of garlic scattered everywhere? Bowls of Holy water, crosses hanging from branches?

Ah, well, see you for the links in the morn.

[evsajo]

Strix am on phone to Pauline and she says you are a reincarnation and have you been here before. You have exactly the same taste as Geoff especially the Eagles and Spencer Davis group. Its great.

[paulineward]

Hi Strix...I am here!!! aren't you lucky!!!!...d�ja vue eh???

[paulineward]

Kay was so moved by your songs...but in a nice way...you are completely on her recently deceased husband's wavelength...he played in a band...and sang all the songs you posted!!
I said you have been here before!!!

She has loved it though...thanks!!

Dustybun...are you about??

Strix..I know some of the regulars are away...

[Strix]

A "reincarnation"? NO, just fr*gging ancient with a good memory!

My parting gift for tonight is this, it is very recent but, don't because of that, be alarmed! I really like it:

Good night

[paulineward]

Well Strix...is it as it started...just you and I?
Or are the others hiding, to watch us go by..
To beat us in the morning..from the Shrubbery
And guess the Links while we're still posting on AB!!

HUH!!

[evsajo]

Strix are you sure it's the song and not the girl???????? Am not sure about this one, I still prefer the "oldies" although I quite like some of the scissor sisters songs.
Hope it hasn't bothered you what i put about reincarnation. It's just so strange, especially the last Eagles one, but it's nice because it's songs i have forgotten about and have been singing along whilst ironing!!!!
Goodnight Strix...who knows where i will be doing my links from tomorrow.....a cornfield again ....a zoo........on the moon.......

[Strix]

Kay, Of course it hasn't bothered me. I just hope it hasn't bothered you.

Ignore the video with Frou Frou song, it is in the words.

As it was with the Abba song.

And, Pauline, we should have taken that dance in the early evening!.......

[paulineward]

I wasn't sure about that last one either, but maybe because it wasn't familar..

Kay ...when I ring you in the morning I expect nothing!!!!...and everything!!

I told you my girls giggle at you...and you haven't met yet!!

Kay...you do realise we are trying to suss Strix out!!!....don't give too much away...our investigations are in process!!!

[evsajo]

Oh blow I forgot about that, well actually I was trying to work him out with his musical tastes but Frou Frou has really thrown me. Wll put it on again and listen to the words perhaps there is a hidden code!!!!!!!
Strix you will just HAVE to go to Paulines house on 12th July then we can try and understand you!!!!!!lLOL
A few moer minutes then I'm off to bed,early in morning if it's fine.The carboots call and I may find a priceless antique!!!!

[Strix]

Fat chance

They seek him here
They seek him there
The Shrubbers seek him everywhere
That damned elusive fly-by-night sort of owl

Leave to Pauline to make it rhyme!

[Strix]

Cheers about the joke of a "priceless antique", I shall as a result, wrap myself more carefully in my half (joke) of the double duvet I share with my wife.

[paulineward]

That elusive Strix in your hair!!!

[evsajo]

Didn't mean you honestly. I say that whenever i go to a carboot sale because I stand no chance but I tell everyone tha's what I am going to find!!!!!
Bed now, goodnight all, sweet dreams.
Am taking a choc chip cookie to bed (gluten free of course)

[Strix]

Ta, Pauline.

Over and out.

[paulineward]

see you all soon! :-)
