MM and KM Links August 2010 [Week 2]

[crofter]

May I begin by congratulating slaney on her recent win with the Inquisitor Crossword. Her prize was yet another Dictionary destined to become a treasured addition to Pauline’s Raffle (with a wicked Twist) which last appeared at the AGM held only two weeks ago at the Croft. We are now well into August and yet the rain continues to fall daily by the bucketful. Last night, I did manage to spot a couple of shooting stars through the gaps in the clouds. It was supposed to be a special night for star gazing (and that reminds me of the Cornish dish called “Star-gazey Pie”!).

This week, I have had little contact with owllady, whose IT skills needed very little tweaking to make perfect her launch of MM Links tomorrow as she re-appears as “The Lady Ursula”. Following the usual format, the channel of communication should open on AB tomorrow at 08.45am and the four words to be linked should be posted at 9.00am, when MM Links kicks off in earnest. Remember ~ early MM hits gain bonus points!

As usual, I ask that you should also look out for the international version of this same game which is called KM Links and kicks off at a very early hour (which is difficult to predict precisely). Consequently, the timing of your posting is deemed to be irrelevant ~ only the number of hits you are able to register. The regular organiser of KM Links comes all the way from Oz ( Roo-land) and is my good friend, “seekeerz”. She is truly the “Wizard-ess of Oz”.

As I always say ~ “Why not chance your arm at both Link Games?” You have nothing to lose. Both games remain open for most of the weekend and all entries are scored and entered on to master scoreboards to trace progress through each monthly contest.

Until I see you tomorrow, may I wish you ~ “Happy Linking”!

Jan, you know that she's just joined the Golf Club, nothing to do with the Quiz Night, she has gone down there to make sure the members keep their balls clean!

[LaneyB]

Do they know what they are in for Strix?!!

[jan1956]

should we all go down there and black ball her????

[LaneyB]

You are brave Jan - rather you than me!!

[Aquagility]

Now then, you two, stop harassing a defenceless old lady wot hasn't a word to say for herself.

[jan1956]

aq, i know you know P better than that!!!!

[Strix]

Aq, be careful how you describe her - she might want to sue you for calling her "defenceless".

[LaneyB]

Now would I dare to harass our Pauline - it would be more than my life was worth.

[Aquagility]

It's been chucking it down all day so I'll not join you in the bushes tonight - bed calls.
Just don't get carried away - and make sure you're in by midnight.
Aq.

[LaneyB]

Raining on and off all day here too Aq, Good night, sleep tight see you in the morning!
Promise we will behave, hardly do anything else as there is no one else around!!

Hi, have been playing Scrabble and suddenly thought about you all. It has rained most of the day here and is really cold and horrible.
