MM and KM Links June 2008 [Week 4]

[gen2]

Good Evening once again to all MM and KM Linkers

This evening, Crofter who has been sunning himself for the last week in Tenefife, should be winging his way swiftly back to AB. Until I hear that he is safely back, this is gen2 still holding the reigns.


We are now on week 4 of 5 for both games and in the MM game it still too soon to predict any winners as there is a large pack of hungry point hunters close on the heels of AllyLally. The KM game is slightly more spread out with DizzyLizzie managing a clean sweep last week. Do not despair - If she can do it then it, then why can't you? My advice is to get in early and go with your instincts. The MM game is launched by the Dinky Duke in a thread at 8:45 tomorrow morning and the words will appear beneath it at 9:00. The KM game (based on the Telegraph GK Crosswords) will be launched by seekeerz at a much earlier hour and the links will appear there as soon as someone gets the paper and solves the clues, so be on the lookout out from 6:30 onwards for that one.


This is week 4 (of 5) in the reign of the Dinky Duke who is all set to help give you pleasure once again with four stimulating words for you. Will you be responsive? Will you rise to his suggestions? All will be revealed (in a manner of speaking) in the morning.


As most of you are aware, this thread is the wardrobe door to the 'Shrubbery' so why not suspend belief and come on in - there is plenty to drink for all and musical entertainment will no doubt be provided sooner or later. The more the merrier, but like all parties, it may be a little slow until others arrive on the scene.

Enjoy yourselves.

I won't be round much tonight as we have a trio of Ozzies staying (from Sydney, Seekeerz, and horsey) but let's kick off with a good drink:

Unlike the Links games I am getting in early.
Good evening all, will be with you all later - am going to watch the football now, as I have done every evening.
See you afterwards.

Great song Strix, I am going to miss your choices tonight, although I am not going to be here for very long as tomorrow is our local hospice(St. Giles) Solstice walk. It is a women only 10 mile walk around Lichfield and I am helping at the beginning. It starts at 10pm but I have to be there at 7.30pm and last year (the first year) I got home at about 3.30am!!!! Last year there were 400 walkers and this year there are over 1,000 so I think I may be even later, so it's an early night for me!!!!!!
Don't know if I put this on before but I do like it

[Strix]

We will miss you, Kay, but raise loads of dosh on your walk.
Before you leave I give you the Strix anthem of his youth (whenthat?!!)

[paulineward]

pop back in beejay...I'll keep you a drink!

[paulineward]

So how long ago was that Strix?....my dear!

[Strix]

Sorry, Pauline, can't help - you see the problem is that at my age you can't remember..

Now, I'll just top your glass up...

[evsajo]

Thanks Strix, I am not actually doing the walk tomorrow, I am doing the Cancer Research "Race for Life" on July 13th in Sutton Park and i don't think I can keep asking people to sponsor me so I try to give something back to the hospice by helping out. Last year though I was so busy felt as if I'd done the walk!!!!
Blow, I've got no Madeira!!!!!!!!!!!!
Has any nice young muscular male got some with his etchings?????? Only joking really

[evsajo]

Forgot to say my daughter is doing it but she gets different sponsors, she gives her form to her hubbie to take to his diving club and to his work . She also gets Mums from my granddaughters school.
Oh dear who's that in the corner looking glum......I know that face........yes it's Auntie Pauline!!!!!!!
Am feeling much better auntie P as have been and had my hair done and it's a bit more spikey and Linz says it looks really good, so be prepared for a new me on the 11th!!!!!!

Half time in the football - doesn't look as if I've missed much. football nothing special either.
Evening Pauline and Kay, looks like you have the shrubbery to yourself with your dj, Strix providing the music

[paulineward]

Oh Strix...you are so canny!!

x-ray...Reg is watching the footie too!....you'd be best staying in the srubbery!

Kay I have been to hairdressers too!...she was a bit scissor happy...but mine grows so fast...it should be just right by July!!

Should have used the shrubbery shears...any of you men fancy a haircut?

[gen2]
