MM Links June 2012 Week 2

[Posted by gen2 on behalf of deecee131]

This is 'Don Corleone' back again.

'As you may have noticed from previous input from me, I spend a fair amount of time nowadays involved in cricket umpiring. I played the game until my late 50's, was an excellent close fielder, at gully or slip, even if I say so myself. The best part of the game for me, in those days of long ago, was the social side. Friendly on the field of play and even more so afterwards while having a social drink with your opponents. The brewers have changed over the years and now I have a drink with my colleague, while completing the forms we have to fill in, and talking to the players, the few who stay now after the game, about decisions given by us. Most of them, like most of you, know the basics, from the regular TV and radio coverage, but there are 42 Laws we have to be knowledgeable about. However, we all talk about and use the unwritten Law 43, which is 'Common sense'.'

Note added by Gen2.
In crosswords, apostrophes and hyphens are stripped before entry so the declared challenge words here are normally treated the same way.
You are generally free to choose answers that either have or don't have such punctuation.
This week, under threat from his bouncers, I am letting 'Don Corleone' include an apostrophe in a challenge word in order to make it easier for you to guess. He's a good guy - really.

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 to make a new longer word or to make a well-known phrase or saying. The combination will never be a person's name.

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.

GREEN
KING'S
TRUE
MAN (I am allowed 3-letter words – you are not)

Good Luck everyone!
