MM & KM Links Oct 2007 [Week 1]

[crofter]

It has been another week and we all start October with a clean sheet! Several regulars are bringing in the points week in week out ~ but end up just behind the leaders. However, no-one can begrudge King Grenmus the Great his convincing victory last week. It was well deserved! We shall soon see what sort of Link Setter he will be as the new Links Game kicks off tomorrow at 9.00am.

All thanks to Crown Jools for a great month of themes and gen2 for keeping everyone under control. One thing I did note was that my mate, Dustybun was back in contention after quite a long absence. I also saw a beaker this week carrying the name "Foxy Lady" and thought of my good friend, FoxLee!

Enough of this sentimentality! Tonight will be frosty and very damp for the Shrubbery Squad, when they will need to be sharp at 09.00 tomorrow morning. That's the time when the new MM Link Game will be launched by King Grenmus the Great, who sets his first set of four words to be linked by fair means or foul!

If you think that's early, the sister game (called KM Links) will be nearly two hours old by the MM launch time! Look out for seekeerz from Oz who looks after the scores on the doors in a parallel universe.

Me? I'm crofter keeper of the scores for MM Links for my sins and tonight is MY Quiz Night at the local Cricket Club!


Good luck for tomorrow, when you will have to tune into another new setter to establish a rolling start for October.

:o)

Good evening Crofter and fellow shrubites. I do feel it is rather chilly tonight but I don't know how to put pictures on here so I can't show you my thermal clothing ready for an evening outside!!!

[paulineward]

Oh Jan...you'd sell your soul!!!

[paulineward]

Have you noticed how the men keeep a very low profile in the shrubbery these days...do you think they feel threatened by our superiority???

[jan1956]

I am sure they do Pauline, they think because we pass the booze about, we arfe getting drunk, so they wait behind the bushes (little do they know) we are not getting drunk(it will take a few more bottles yet) so we are waiting for them

[paulineward]

Like it Jan!...I've not started on my wine yet...will do in a bit though!

[jan1956]

way ahead of you pauline, although I am diluting the white with lemonade to make it go a bot further, i am not at work until 2pm tomorrow(so that is ok then!)
Tomorrow will try a New zealand white Sauvignon Blanc) recommendedby a friend who has been there
It is �1 off at sainsburys

[paulineward]

Let us know what it's like Jan...I like red or white wine, but I like a medium white. Don't like it too sweet.

[jan1956]

this one come highly recomended, a customer was buying 6 on Thursday, i did persuade him to try the fetzer but he rattled on about the New Zealand
Sauvignon Blanc said it must be chilled
My friend drunk it in summer and said it was the best
so yes will let you know if it beats the fetzer (my favourite of the moment)
but think we will soon be on the mulled stuff out here in the shrubbery!

[paulineward]

Does anybody know of King Grenmus's interests...so we might have an inkling!...It's mighty quiet in this shrubbery tonight...think Kay has nipped off to drink and eat her snack a jacks on her own, so she doesn't have to share.

[rogerr]

Thought you all could do with a hot toddy--isn't it amazing what comes up on google!
