mm links game 2007 April (Week 1)

[burgess3334]

Well folks, I never dreamt that one day I'd be sitting here as Link Word setter
for a whole month. It's a beautiful morning! Too nice for May - I would almost
compare it to a Summer's Day! But how have the Marmite Munchers finding things?
Sometime too hot? I hope you are all ready to be challenged?

This is burgess3334 (aka Alan) pleased and proud to take over the role of
AB-Linker from cliffyg and put you lot through torment. It may take me
some little while to learn the ropes, so be patient with me!

My first four words to have their links predicted should appear below at
9.00am and you are invited to predict the missing links. I say "should" because
in the next 15 minutes ANYTHING could happen. Remember that I am new to this!

Like most of you, I know how to predict better than how to work out the scores.
Hence, like my predecessors, I have followed the same rule as crofter on
word length. Each of my chosen link words contains at least four letters and at
most eight letters. Stray outside this range and you will be wasting one of your
attempts!

The competition will officially close on Sunday Evening at 7.00pm when
crofter will declare my selected words and then apply the same rules of
awarding points that have been applied during.

Is that a clue...compare thee to a Summer's Day???
good luck everyone....Alan, we are ready!!!!!

[cliffyg]

pauline
shall i compare thee to a summer's day
thou art more lovely and more temporate
rough winds do shake the darling buds of may
and summer's lease hath all too short a date

[paulineward]

It was a ploy to put us off!!! We are going to have to watch this Alan...MUCH, MUCH OLDER brother of evsajo!!

[burgess3334]

sorry Pauline, Jan, Alibobs and Christiana its my first attempt and at my MUCH MUCH older age you have to expect some mistakes

[rogerr]

I think it was all part of your cunning plan to keep us on our toes---well done burgess!

[crofter]

Alan, Well done on the launch! A few hiccups okay, but nothing that cannot be put right for next time!

At least the Link Words went out and the predictions are flowing in!

Enjoy the experience, since "the setter's lease hath all too short a date"!

[Aquagility]

Smart, that, crofter. Where does it come from? Or did you make it up yourself?
