MM and KM Link Games March [Week 2]

[gen2]

Fridays! Don't they come around quickly these days? It seems like only last week that I was composing the Shrubbery Opening blurb, and here it is again already!

Our guest setter, Mr E caught many of you off guard last week and as a result it was a relatively low-scoring game. I have since had words with him and he promises to make tomorrow's game a little easier, so more of you should get off the mark and onto the points table.

When I checked the Shrubbery last week after my Art Club dinner, I found everything neat and tidy (thank you) and furthermore - deserted! Everyone had taken an early night. But did it do you any good? As a result, were your brains any better at getting into the way of thinking of our Mr E Guest?

Why not try a different approach tonight? Get sozzled for a change on Pauline's red wine, Strix's water of life and Sarumite's magic mushrooms. Put on the music and dance. (Oh! - I forgot Strix, you can't.) Hopefully, you'll then all wake up with receptive minds.

If I were a betting man, I might take a punt that the GeeGees would feature this week, but does Mr E like a flutter?

The MM game will go under starter's orders at 8:45 am and the tape will be raised at 9:00am. (Be there - don't be an 'also ran'.)
Also look out for the sister game KM Links (based on the Daily Telegraph GK Crossword) which can start at a very early hour and is managed by seekeerz from down under.

The rest of this thread is now thrown open to the Shrubbery Crowd and guests.
Enjoy yourselves.

Evening all!...Think it will be quiet in here tonight...Kay is away!! :-))
Hope you have all had a good week.

[x-ray]

Good evening Pauline and thanks gen2 for opening up the shrubbery.

[Strix]

Dear Mr Gen2,
Thank you for drawing attention to my predilection for the "water of life".
That will, no doubt, explain why later this evening, if the new Youtube music ban permits, you might find me doing with my one good leg the "Hop-Scotch" !

[Ont-ice]

Poor Kay and her as quiet as a little mouse. Methinks that Pauline put the wrong name down did she not?
Good evening to all.

[paulineward]

How is the leg Strix?
Hi x-ray...

[paulineward]

Hi Ont-ice....no, it's Kay that's the noisy one! I was really quiet until I met her on here!

[Ont-ice]

And for you Strix - not quite one-legged but hopefully you'll be moving this fast quite soon.

[Ont-ice]

Oh! Pauline I think that's a porker if ever I heard one!

[jan1956]

hi, have been busy at work raising money for comic relief
so just catching up,
it is quiet here at the moment

[Ont-ice]

Great Jan. Don't know who the performers are but they sure will liven the place up a bit.
I think Strix is practising his one-legged dance at the moment and Pauline is thinking up some more porkers to have us all wondering and X-ray seems to have radiated himself out of all existance.

[paulineward]

Well Ont-ice...and I thought you were my friend! :-))

Can you all guess what might be coming your way in a week or so?....

[Ont-ice]

More snow?

[Ont-ice]

Just as a matter of interest the only time I get to play in the shrubbery is when the clocks change in the spring and there is only four hours difference. Our went forward last weekend and yours will at the end of the month. But for some reason or other the party doesn't seem to start and then when the your clocks change this place will be hopping and I miss it all. Come on. I've only got about 20 mins left before I dish up the supper.

[Strix]

Ont-ice, I am so taken aback by Peg Leg Bates I am going to have to talk to a physiotherapist for advice, hopefully to hear the words "Don't even think about it"!!

[Strix]

Pauline - as to the "troublesome tibia" - put it this way I can't have it up under the Trades Description Act.

[Ont-ice]

No don't even think about. I bet you're one of those smooth dancers who just glide around the floor. Peg Leg Bates is not your style at all.

[paulineward]

I do feel sorry for Mrs Strix...having to run around after an invalid all these weeks!!

Onty...what's for supper? Will it go around the shrubbery...and no it's not snow...think insect.

[Ont-ice]

Stew for supper - leftovers as I didn't feel like cooking up a storm tonight.
Question 2: Think insects - we're not going to get a plague of locust are we?
You have ten minutes left before I had to go dish up the stew.

[x-ray]

Dragonflies

[Ont-ice]

Wow! And then they will eat up all the mosquitoes that haven't even arrived yet. It's going to be a topsy-turvey summer indeed.
But must away for now as the hungry man wants to know when we are going to eat.
