I apologise for yet another false start to the game. It appears that the document with the agreed posting went astray and an improvised posting went up instead. The game has now closed (19:00), the...
Welcome to this week’s competition, I have based this week’s theme on one of the finest horse races, the Grand National, no special knowledge of racing is required, just the usual...
Apologies for the early post, but I am off to a Christmas function with the Art Club. Apologies too for the confusing start to the MM game last weekend. I hope we now have all the bugs ironed out and...
The MM Links Game is now closed and my trusty abacus has been brought into play. But how taxed was it? Firstly an apolgy for the uncertainty suronding the start of this game. AB didn't play ball with...
Greetings to fellow link contestants, I am honoured to be temporarily occupying the Royal Box for December. I have been dubbed 'King John' but I am better known to you all as Jobjockey, and I have...
Jobjockey seems to be having problems this morning so I'll post it on his behalf. Greetings to fellow link contestants, I am honoured to be temporarily occupying the Royal Box for December. I have...
Last weekend there were 4 joint-leaders in the MM Game, but only one who had never set the links before. As a result, 'JobJockey' was elevated to royal status and asked to do the honours for December....
All too soon it is my last week to set the links. I have enjoyed my month as "Regal Roslyn" and would like to thank gen2 for all his help this month and indeed every month. Until you...
I was so engrossed watching 'Autumnwatch' that I nearly forgot to open the 'Shrubbery' gates. This weekend sees the climax to the November games and 'Regal Roslyn' will be setting her final links in...
Why the long face? Did you forget to invite Mendelssohn to your wedding? Did your bank get sold for a pittance? Did your homing pigeon go astray? Well first of all I will reveal that 'Regal Roslyn'...
This is part 3 of Regal Roslyn's Australian journal. The next part of our adventure saw us back on a Greyhound bus for the journey north to Townsville where we caught the ferry to Magnetic Island -...
Good morning everyone - fingers crossed my connection holds up while I get this typed - heaven be praised, the problem isn't with my set up but in the line to the exchange, no idea how long that will...
Hello again from “Regal Roslyn”. It hardly seems almost 2 years ago that I was the “link-setter”. I bored you with my life history then so I’ll have a change this time...
This is Manx Queenie, moving on … Having extolled the virtues of my homeland for two weeks, I have to admit that I have spent more time living away from the Isle of Man than I have on it....
This is Manx Queenie offering you a new challenge! As my name implies, my father’s family came from the Isle of Man and my daughter and her family currently live there, although I left some...
This is 'King Jim' back to challenge you once again. My last week has come (not too soon I hear you say), and it’s been quite an experience. However it means I will be able to return and spend...
Well it’s my third week as 'King Jim' and doesn’t time fly? The football season is upon us again which makes me rather sad as it heralds summer’s end. Next month brings the Autumnal...
'King Jim' returns to tease you for week 2. This week my son is having a visit from his in-laws. They are Turkish from Istanbul and Jools and I like them very much. So we will be traveling up to...
A new month, a new game and a new setter so how did it go? Did you pick up your ballpoint to write down the options and then went for something else? Did you envisage the winning post before you even...
This is 'King Jim', your setter for August. This is the first time I have attempted anything like this. Being normally very reserved it has taken my wife. Jools. a bit of coaxing to get me here. Like...
