MM & KM Links December 2007 [Week 2]

[crofter]

This is the second week in the reign of Queen Kay and she now knows exactly what is expected of her when it comes to the launch of the MM link words tomorrow. I believe that she is well up for it and I fully expect things to go smoothly. I think that you'll enjoy her second set of link words.

Both Kay and I will be playing out tonight. Kay is on serious "baby"-sitting duty and it's my turn to set the CC Quiz. I have used an alphabetical theme, where the first answer starts with A, the second B, etc. The X, Y, Z part gets a bit tricky ~ but it's worked out Okay! It's not as difficult as finding "Double Deckers" for those same letters! BTW thanks are due to AB Ed for her continued support for Dragonfly II (especially at a time when even our motives are being questioned).

Once again, I expect early successes from the Shrubbery Squad. I still say that you should go with your gut instinct at this stage of the game! Anyone who reaches four points by Sunday evening should be well placed for the sprint to the line.

Remember that the site should be opened by Queen Kay at about 8.45 in the morning, and the MM Link Game should be officially launched by Queen Kay when she will set her four words to be linked at 9.00am.

The international version of this same game is called KM Links and kicks off at the unearthly hour of about 06.30am! Look out for seekeerz from Oz who provides the entertainment, refreshments and rule of law when dealing with that parallel game. In this case, the choice of words and their links are out of our control. They are set by Kate Mepham in her Crossword in the Daily Telegraph on Saturday and Monday!

Right as Crofter has parked the Double Decker, bet he didn,t mean to leave the keys in though.
Shall I drive? Can't be any more difficult than riding a bike can it????
Shall be late for Kays links but hope to get the KM ones in if they are posted early enough.

Hi Jan...you drive, because I intend to have a large drink tonight! The rest of the passengers usually 'board' a bit later...any ideas where to go? Did suggest Blackpool lights and fun fair one week...any other suggestions?

[jan1956]

ooooh Pauline on your head be it if our friend sees it.
I cannot drink too much as am at work again tomorrow, have been sampling the taste the difference cava and bucks fizz today. Gave them mince pies with it too. They were moving some pallets of beer on the shop floor and a case of Stella fell (they do not bounce) It smelt like a brewery!

sarumite had better run to catch up

[paulineward]

Hi Jan...will be posting again when it is busy tomorrow!! :-))

I used to love the lights as a child...not been for years.
Bagsey the back seat!

I'll bet you are so busy this time of year....fetch some cava with you tonight!

[jan1956]

only found out today it is the equivalent of champagne but as it does not come from champagne
it is realy nice, the one Jamie Oliver is adding Pomegranet to. Personally I think it spoils it, why add stuff???

[rogerr]

Jan, I know you have had a drink or five--but I seem to remember You Can't Drive--Aaaargh!

[Dustybun]

good evening all! Is the Double Decker an open topped one because it's a bit cold here on the Lincs coast? And are the Lights still on in Blackpool? Next week can we do a slow drive round the London Christmas lights please? Haven't seen them for years. I'll bring some mince pies.

[jan1956]

Dusty we can look at Paulines Lights have a drink or three then head down the M1 to London town, i'm up for it
Barbara i did say it cannot be any harder than a cycle
when I am on the cycle path or a bus lane I own it so lets all wave to any one who gets in our way, ready ladies?
you do know how to wave don't you???

[paulineward]

Dustybun...a mere formality that the lights in Blackpool could not be on anymore!!...oh well...

Plenty of booze in...and the whole Road is lit up..from our house!!
