MM & KM Links September 2008 [Week 2]

[crofter]

Tomorrow morning brings the start of Round 2 in the Reign of King Wickedtongue the Generous during which I believe the points will flow [as last week] in ample numbers. Once again, the (Para)Olympics are well underway and I am filled with admiration for the competitors. Their endeavours have inspired me to embark on my next DIY project and decorate the third bedroom in the Croft. This will be my first return to DIY in over three years ~ so wish me well!

With the excessive amount of rain and mud about, I wonder if there will ever be an Olympic Sport of Extreme Shrubbery Mud Wrestling. Tonight will be cold and wet around the Buddleias, but I have every faith that the Shrubbery Squad will brave the elements and contend for the bonus points for being first (or within two minutes) to predict a correct link word. This contest should be opened at 08.45 and the chosen words to be linked declared at 09.00 tomorrow morning. I honestly think that the extra effort will be worth it!

For the REALLY early birds, look out for seekeerz who hails from Down Under in the Land of Oz and volunteered about two years ago to score the sister game (called KM Links) which will be nearly two hours old by the MM launch time! Yes, that's right ~ the KM Links Game kicks off about 07.00am and attracts its special set of nutters, alcoholics and insomniacs in equal numbers!

Me? I'm crofter keeper of the scores for MM Links for my sins.

With a couple of entrants already on 6 points, you cannot afford to miss the start of Link Game. Newcomers are always welcome. You don't have to be insane ~ but it is a definite advantage!

Good luck for tomorrow.

:o)

Hi Crofter, I think it's very good of you to start decorating. I absolutely hate it and try to persuade members of the family to do it for me!!!
I agree it's going to be very muddy in the Shrubbery tonight so am quite prepared for the new sport!!!

You are behaving yourself now...these women don't scare you do they? .... :-))

[paulineward]

What a week I have had this week...had 2 meetings where I had to put up with silly people
...one a real male chauvinist!
How I would have liked to have passed him on the way out and done something like this.....

[paulineward]

Where has everyone gone???

[x-ray]

Still here Pauline - don't know where the usual gang is tonight. it's been pretty quiet the past two weekends.
You were in Cornwall and I was up in Scotland, although I did manage to get on a computer for the links games.
By the way, did you enjoy your holiday, the weather was a bit disappointing for most of the country, but we enjoyed some warm sunshine in the North of Scotland (most unusual)

Does anyone know the latest news about Aquagility - has he been released from the dungeon yet ?

[jan1956]

I am here, have been on phone to an aunt for quite a while and now catching up
what are we drinking and listening to???

Great clip twix.....ape goes ape

[Strix]

Pauline

Haven't gone, just wasn't here until now!

Have the same expensive day as you have had but for me next Saturday - i.e. dumping daughter at University 9 hours away (each way) to start her fresher's week (for which read: indoctrination/initiation/intoxication).

Hey ho - one less to feed and launder at home!

[x-ray]

Evening jan - what do you require (in the way of drinks that is)

[Strix]

AQ may have been, computer-wise, incarcerated on this site but I understand AQ is off sailing off the coast of Turkey.

Lucky so&so!

[twix123]

Strix,
Why be so cheerful - I wouldn't bet on the feeding and laundering problem having gone away. When we went through that problem many years ago we still needed bottomless pockets!

[paulineward]

Hi Twix...that won't play properly for me...will keep trying!
I never did get that advert???

x-ray....I think Strix may be taking his daughter up to St Andrew's University.

We had quite good weather in Cornwall ...thanks.
...compared to the rest of the country! As we drove back, we saw the extent of the flooding...it was terrible!

I have been hopeless at the Links...and seem to have lost the plot with everyone's way of thinking!!!

Maybe it's me!!!! :-))....no comment!
