We are coming to the end of the 5-week reign of Sir Strix and what a reign it has been. It has been a roller coaster ride for point scoring, but eventually the scoreboard is now looking quite healthy. You have as much idea as I as to how the final act will unfold in an epic whodunit (or whowilldoit)!

I am talking now of who will succeed to the throne of MM-Linkland and see out the year 2008. Sir Strix will be a hard act to follow ~ even if he doesn't climb Mount Everest wearing only boxer shorts. This week, he has been under the weather, so I have hardly heard from him. As events have unfolded, I shall need to leave the Croft tomorrow at 08.30am and return about 09.30am, so if the gremlins are thinking of striking some time, tomorrow morning's launch would be an ideal time.

As I predicted, the Shrubbery Squad had a whale of a time last week scoring bonus points hand over fist as Sir Strix spiralled out of control. Will the same happen tomorrow ~ I wonder? If all goes to plan, the launch should open at the usual time of 08.45 tomorrow, before the MM link words are disclosed at 09.00 (sharp) and Sir Strix sets his final set of four words to be linked!

I still do not have a clear picture of what is happening on the transglobal sister game (called KM Links) so keep your eyes peeled from one minute past midnight (onwards)! It is still following the same format dictated by the Herculis Crossword in The Daily Telegraph. Most entrants try their hand at both competitions ~ so why not you?

Me? I'm crofter, keeper of the scores for MM Links and I collate the predictions and keep the weekly League Tables up to date.

Good luck for tomorrow, when Sir Strix will try once more to bamboozle you with his chosen predictions. Will he succeed? I know of 40 or more AB-ers who will try every method to foil his plans.

The KM links thread will be opened around 6:10 am regardless of what happens on the DT Website. Last week it failed to appear there and I refuse to set my alarm for earlier than 6:00am so the official launch will be about 10 - 15 minutes later. Early risers should therefore be poised around that time.

Best of luck to everyone in BOTH games.
thanks to both of you for unlocking the gates, hope you stick around for the fun and games

In case I should be tempted to make my pre-dawn, octogenarian dash for the paper, thereby effectively clobbering the rest of my day, can anyone say for certain whether the crossword will be published online? Please.
where is everybody??

It's hard to say for definite, Aq...both the giant GK and the Herculis failed to appear on-line last week - no reason given that I could see.
I presume (hope) that they will have sorted it out by now.
This person didn't score any points Crofter!! :-((

Well I think I shall stay in bed tomorrow....as I have no chance!!

Have you all started your Christmas shopping?...I haven't done a thing yet!
A sensible approach to the festive season!

Whats all this Christmas stuff......I haven't even opened the first window of my Advent Calendar yet!!!!!!
twix....I haven't even got one so don't worry!!! :-))
The dog has....bought by our pet mad daughter!
Hallo, have only just got in after visiting daughter and granddaughter (son in law was diving)
I feel quite Christmassy as tomorrow I have a stall at the church Christmas Fayre.
I haven't done anyy Christmas shopping apart from pyjamas for my new grandson (they wanted pyjamas for him) and tonight my son has phoned and said "don't get pyjamas, get warmer sleep suits!!!!!!! The one thing I had got has now got to be taken back!!!!
I will be here and there tonight as I am still getting stuff ready for tomorrow, so have to keep going up and down stairs.
Message for Strix........ I haven't guessed one of your links yet, couldn't you give me a clue???? There's no one else here so no-one would know
except me!!!....but I will keep quiet!
Pauline, would I be so foolish as to give away any hints as to the Links? What with all the important dates coming up it can hardly be necessary.

As to Advent calendars, I am sure one of our dogs has already eaten one of our children's chocs in advance of the correct dates.
