I believe that I, crofter, may have set a new record in awarding over 40 points to MM Linkers on an opening game (on behalf of wickedtongue). You know too well. Pauline was even able to predict my...
This is crofter again and as I explained last night, for these last few weeks, I have been devoting more and more time to the garden and ending up drained of an evening. This programme of work has...
For these last few weeks, I have been devoting more and more time to the garden and ending up physically drained of an evening. This programme of work has made running the MM Links a second-class...
I must begin by congratulating “The Count” (aka middlestump) for a very successful month as the Royal Setter of MM Links. Apart from editing his submissions into the accepted format, I...
“The Count” (aka middlestump) has kept us royally entertained throughout the last five weeks. Today’s weather has been much cooler at the Croft, but I still managed to do a stint in...
We start by wishing “The Count” (aka middlestump) a very Happy Birthday on reaching the score of 60 “not out”. Many of us are “recycled teenagers” and trying to...
If nothing else, “The Count” (aka middlestump) has brought us incredible weather, so much so that the garden around the Croft is well over half done. In fact, it was just too hot yesterday...
“The Count” (aka middlestump) appears to have had a “normal” week with a reasonable number of points awarded. Turning to Music and in particular “The Beatles”, he...
I am getting the impression that “The Count” (aka middlestump) is beginning to come to the view that I am regretting his coronation as Regal Setter of the link words. Not so! In fact, I am...
“The Count” (aka middlestump) sets yet other new records ~ for the fewest number of entrants to get onto the scoreboard in a single round of MM Links and for the longest run of entrants...
Last week, I was very pleased to record a bumper MM Links Game when “The Count” (aka middlestump) actually “Lost Count” of the number of extras, no balls and byes he delivered....
Apologies for being over an hour late. “The Count” (aka middlestump) has set a new record for the number of entrants to get onto the scoreboard in a single round of MM Links. Forsaking the...
I hope you are all ready to engage with relative newcomer, middlestump, when he sets out his stall tomorrow morning. He will adopt the aristocratic title of “The Count”. Those of similar...
Baron Brian II entered the last week of his reign with great gusto and a generous heart. Following a theme based on the National Football Team of “Norn Iron”, he went with the link words:...
Last week, the MM Links Game slipped forward to a THREE-minute advance before being launched on AnswerBank. I dread to think what will happen when the clocks SPRING forward (rather than FALL back). I...
Baron Brian II mustn’t be too down-hearted. Ireland beat England in the Six Nations, although England still came out on top as far as the final positions went. Liverpool may well be struggling...
Last week, the MM Links Game kicked off once again with the usual two-minute advance on the computer clock. Rest assured that no one is ever disadvantaged by this minor hiccup that occurs every now...
Baron Brian II is having a busy time with major Sporting Events filling his diary. I thought that his second week as Royal Setter was very honest of him, but (if this was not expected) then he would...
My belief last week that Spring was just around the corner (now with hindsight) looks more like wishful thinking on my part. I did get two or three reasonable sessions clearing out some of the weeds...
Baron Brian II was very obliging to step in at short notice to set the linkwords throughout the month of March. He and I go way back and we have a lot in common. My father was from Belfast and I spent...
