Good morning everyone - an early start as the sun is shining here and all the weeds in the garden are beckoning... grrrr I'd better take advantage while I can Four real challenges for us today - PARIS...
I made the mistake (it seemed logical at the time) of posting this first in the technology section. Not a sausage in reply. Should probably have come here first, so I'll try again. Now that it's...
I think I've presed an odd combination of keys by mistake and now have AB in a large type. It's very nice and clear to red, but inconvenient as I can't get much of the page on the screen. What do i...
Good morning all - running a little late as I had a bumper crop of points to deal with this morning, it was going to be a case of either feast or famine and luckily it was the former !! And the links...
We've just cut down a tree, which has had the effect of extending the rockery area. There are still a few trees which keep the sunlight out for much of the day. What would be good plants to put in...
Well, the game is now over and I can reveal that King Jim's chosen links were: CLINICAL thermometer ANEROID barometer FLOW chart WEATHER Report ex-'Queen Jools' was under instructions to get 'King...
I'm being very stupid - but then, you all knew that anyway in this section. I've been sent a link in an email on which I need to click (it's quite safe). But I can't do it - it isn't highlighted. The...
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...
Good morning everyone - it's pretty chilly down here today, but they're promising 22d max next week ... guess the hot stuff is on it's way !! A nice little bunch of words for us to tackle today - what...
In the MM Links game, the last two weeks have been a struggle to earn points. Often there were many possibilities and it was all down to the ability to pick up King Jim's psychic vibes (aka 'chance)....
I took my O Levels back in 1979 and then went onto to do an OND and HND at Polytechnic in IT and then into work. Never looked back. My nephew has just got 2 * E Grade , 1 * D grade and a B Grade. My...
Good morning everyone - from a very damp south oz where several warm sunny winter days have turned into slosh, again - luckily we spent those sunny days in the garden and the rain is a bonus !!...
'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...
Thanks to the exploits of one Strix - we now have the words from today's Telegraph and they are -

I'll post the clues next, but we can get underway now...
Good morning everyone - I'm afraid the game is currently halted until such time as a kind friend posts today's words for us. The site is still showing last week's puzzle - not a lot of use - so we'll...
This month, 'King Jim' has been teasing us with challenge words suggested by his telling of his early life in the East End. Last week's episode hardly finished on a drumbeat of a cliffhanger but...
I've just received an email entitled ESTA system expiration warning. Haven't opened it as I don't know what it means; could someone help please? I'd have thought 'expiry' was better English than...
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...
We have transmit, permit, admit, commit and goodness knows how many more, but what happened to the simple 'mit'? I know they all come from Latin mittere, to send, + various prepositions, but it seems...
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...
