We are now into the second week in the reign of Lady Jill (aka tearinghair) and the launch went well ~ although some entrants reported problems with the new-look AnswerBank. I can report that fewer points were scored during this round, although the harvest was quite healthy. The predictions you were looking for were ~ under the theme of
Heart of England
TOWN CRIER
Country COUSIN(S)
ANCIENT History
Travel SICKNESS
It proved a week of “Catch Up” since both of last week’s leaders were off target!

This week it was TOWN CRIER which brought in the points. First spotted by centrino and tailed by Dustybun and Christiana; they all scored TWO POINTS. Another early hit was registered by x-ray for TRAVEL SICKNESS and another TWO POINTS were claimed.
Now with two hits activated, at 09.03 lysander struck with BOTH Link words and claimed a magnificent FOUR POINTS to provide the highlight of the round and claim the accolade of HOT SHOT OF THE WEEK!
*** Let trumpets sound and cannon roar ***
*** Let the people cheer and shout “Encore” ***
There came a 5-minute lull during which our good friend rogerr made a reappearance after a short absence from MM Linking, before LaneyB hit on ANCIENT HISTORY for yet another TWO POINTS. The last Link went to Entrant #20 ~namely the irrepressible wickedtongue ~ with COUNTRY COUSIN.
Among the five entrants scoring a single point, I must congratulate gen2 and jobjockey who managed to find Two Hits (but sadly for only Two Points each).

The League Table after this second week is starting to look somewhat congested.
FOUR POINTS: Aquagility, centrino, SHAZZA, lysander & seekeerz
THREE POINTS: cliffyg & roslyn
TWO POINTS: Christiana, Dustybun, fordward, gen2, Grenmus, jobjockey, LaneyB, patchett, slaney, Strix, wickedtongue & x-ray
ONE POINT: Eiggam, mirandasmum, miss meg, Joanna & teacher1
With five entrants “neck and neck” at this halfway point, perhaps Week 3 will shake up the field a little and a potential winner will pull away from the pack. Once the ex-champions are eliminated from the League Table (above), there are some interesting names left!
As Mrs Crofter often says “The thick plottens!” See you next week for the next instalment in this fascinating contest.
Until then, this is crofter signing off and wishing you …
… HAPPY LINKING!

Thank you crofter, and gracious thanks to you, your ladyship. You easily outwitted this contender and, unfortunately I shall now have to bow out of the running - as I shall be away next two weekends. Naturally, given the choice, I would far rather be here playing MM links with you lot than sailing in Turkey. But there, duty calls.
Enjoy! Aq.
