MM Links June 2008 [Week 2]

[crofter]

We are on the brink of the second week in the reign of The Dinky Duke and he is promising to be a little more generous with the points this time around. He has been preparing well in advance, since next week I shall be on the Canary Islands and far away from computers. I soon will be passing over the reins to the more-than-capable hands of gen2, who always does an excellent job! I will be processing your predictions from the moment when the MM Link Game is launched by The Dinky Duke, who will set his four words to be linked tomorrow morning at 9.00am.

This last week has also marked the welcome return of seekeerz from Oz, who is the regular organiser of the international version of this same game (called KM Links). That usually kicks off at the unearthly hour of about 06.30am! Let's hope for an easier set of Links this week as last week's were a bit obscure. I nearly went with LOUNGE LIZARD, but changed my mind at the last moment!

I am going to keep it brief tonight, because it's the first Friday of the month and that means Quiz Night at the local Cricket Club and it's my turn as Quiz Master.

Me? I'm crofter, Keeper of the Rule Book and Ancient Abacus.

See you tomorrow, but until then "Happy Linking"!

:o)

Now, Kay, which Scarey Spice were you:

Cumin, Coriander, Tamarind, Galangal, Turmeric

or just straight out red-hot frigid Chilli?

What a teaser!

[Strix]

Just to calm you down, Kay, how about this:

Pauline, I love Queen, but tonight I am a bit nostalgic so am into ballady types.
Strix, as I had Chilli last night I must be that, but as I wore animal prints I don't think i am a real spice!!
Which bit did Pauline get wrong???

[x-ray]

Hi beejay - can't wait to see what Paulines next poem contains.
I hate marmite............ugh !
I think I have also been to that cafe in Brixham some years ago. How strange that so many of us appear to have been there. Lovely place, Brixham, must go back again one day

[paulineward]

Well I haven't been!!
.....That's probably why it's still a nice place!.....before STRIX says it!!!

[Strix]

Kay,

If you had "animal prints" on you last night - whose paws were they?

As a concession to you the bit that Pauline got wrong is that my daughter is NOT doing her A levels.

[evsajo]

We will have to have a coach trip there!!!

[evsajo]

Pauline, will have to take you with me so you can meet no.2 daughter!!!!
This is my special piece of music

I just love all Billy Joel's music but this is extra sp-ecial.

[jan1956]

Pauline it is the Queen musical in London written by Ben Elton and Brian May, you would love it, real stand up and join in music

[jan1956]

Kay love the coach trip count me in,

[paulineward]

Mind you is Reddish ready for you?!!...not long now!

Sarumite has gone away this weekend to a wedding...he has taken a satnav...under protest!!...
He has put it on the woman telling him directions...as he knows he will get there straight away then!!
...Well he didn't quite say that...but I know that's what he meant!! :-))

[Strix]

[Strix]

Dustybun, yet again you have capped the list!

As I, too, have to go to bed (had two days of 3.30 - 4.00 am starts) I leave you all with this, which I think is a stunning live performance:
