KM Links Game - December week 3

[gonesailing]

Minor stuff-up - have put the preamble in Crosswords instead, have a read then return to Q&P site for entries.

Sorry about that, I wasn't kidding about the brain fade !!!

[cliffyg]

Its Christmas
Feast of stephen
Still we see thee lie
The new born king
We traverse afar
Happy christmas to all and a happy new year from Cliffyg

[cliffyg]

not neccessarily the next lines how about
Winter fuel
Silent Stars
Star of Wonder
Peach on Earth

[gonesailing]

And a very Merry Christmas to you cliffgy and a definite yea to Peace on Earth.

Is it possible to have a festive theme from Kate ??

[Aquagility]

I think points may be hard to come by this week!
The instructions are -
Link these lyrics with another four lines (sic) from the same carols, presumably. Clearly the Herculis will not call for the whole line, so marking is going to be a nightmare!

Following the instructions as printed, I'll go for these lines

Brightly shone th moon that night
While mortals sleep the angels keep
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Star of wonder, star of night.

[Aquagility]

Having got that lot off my chest, with I think only one typo, I'll totter off back to my pit.

Happy Christmas to you, Steff, to cliffyg, and to all of you. Lang may yer lumb reek.

[gonesailing]

I think I'll just quit while I'm ahead !!! thanks AQ and god morning [ I think } S

[cliffyg]

bit early maybe my peach on earth would be better as peace on earth
we can only hope

[lysander]

Good King Wenceslas
the Everlasting Light
Christ is born in Bethlehem
We Three Kings

Good Luck and a Joy ous Christmas

[cliffyg]

crossword finished back to bed
then horseradish on my roast beef
with lebkuchen to follow

[joto]

How about giving us the link words then cliffyg?

[eccles]

All very droll-obviously the Xmas spirit & sauce is making its presence felt already-meanwhile India just keep piling on the runs

Information to Joto

The words you asked for were passed to me at an early hour by friend CliffyG. They are the second to fifth lines of his first message. As I leave home before the paper arrives I will not see the details until this afternoon. Then I might understand what is required. Obviously not a one word answer. Bang goes my chance of staying equal first.

[joto]

Thanks deecee131, I too will have to wait until I see the paper later today!

[x-ray]

Good morning everybody.........
No, I haven't got the paper yet.......so what are the words ?????
Merry Christmas

[Strix]

To save you all having to go to Crosswords to see seekeerz preamble, here it is:



Good morning everyone - coming to you from Melbourne for the next two weeks and instead of being blue with cold, I'm green !! For some reason best known to Santa's elves or the fish in the sea, my old alias is no longer known here so I've gone sailing instead of fishing.

At the moment the current game is fairly close so now is your chance to score lots of points and really have something to celebrate come New Year.

Right, after traveling for two days and now having to fight with an unfamiliar computer I'm suffering a bit from brain fade so this will be a bit on the short side.

Down the time track a bit, one of our early rising team will lodge this morning's link words from the Telegraph Crosswords, along with their own selections and then it's our turn to match wits with Kate and manage to score some points - so far this month has been a little on the lean side.

Come Monday morning we'll repeat the process and see how we faired, the contest having closed at midnight.
As always there are no word limits on KM but don't forget when you go over to MM links or you'll be in strife.

One quick comment before leaving temporarily - it's very pretty Strix but that's all I'm prepared to admit to at this point in time.

ok I'm away for a bit only to return when the action gets underway.......S

By implication, in the preamble to today's crossword, the Herculis grid on Monday will also be a large one if it is to include several more words from each of these carols. Is it worth continuing with the links this weekend when the outcome is so tenuous ?
