What a week it has been for competitions. AB-Linkers have at last found the measure of the man called Sir Strix ~ and John Sergeant looks as if he has opted out of Strixly Come Dancing. Has sanity returned to an insane world? As a result, the scoreboard is looking decidedly healthier and I predict another week of goodies for the early punters. What will happen to the "Dance Off" tomorrow evening is more difficult to predict.
Rumour has it that Sir Strix is absolutely delighted to have reversed the trend of low scoring, but will attempt to introduce some degree of control back into hisgame. I think he has "no chance"! Once the members of the Shrubbery Squad smell blood, they do not let go of the quarry. As usual, the launch should open at 08.45 tomorrow, with a lengthy preamble to read before the MM link words are disclosed at 09.00 (sharp) and Sir Strix sets his penultimate set of four words to be linked!
