MM Links May 2012 Week 1

Well, it falls to me, BigMac.

So, for week one, you need to know how my mind works.
It doesn’t.
Or rather, it flits like a butterfly, alighting where it will.
So there may be no rhyme – still less reason – for any links I propose.

I have the double blessing of being born in Yorkshire of Irish stock.
I am an armchair sports fan.
I have run & completed the London marathon (twice).
I love my rugby, cricket, football and underwater origami.
I am still in employment.

I cannot compete with Roslyn on maths – though I do work with numbers.
I like puns.
Urban hang-gliding is a much misunderstood metaphor.

So, in short, the links this week will encompass all, some or none of the above – what more of a clue could you need?

As usual, the link words will be posted at 09:00 - this week by gen2 as I am unavoidably detained by work.

So, until 09:00, arrivederci.

Question Author

According to normal practice, for the everyday running of MM, I shall follow this rule on word length, in that each of my pre-selected 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!

Each of the selected link words may go in front of, or behind my challenge word.
The competition will officially close on Sunday Evening at 7.00pm, when gen2 will declare my pre-selected words and then apply the same rules for awarding points that have been applied during all MM Link Games in the past. My set of four words to have their links predicted should appear below at 9.00am.
