KM links July Week 1 (pp seekeerz)

• Take one new laptop.
• Take one new Operating System (Vista)
• Take one dial-up ISP (Adam Internet)

Turn the whole lot upside-down and attempt to operate.

• Scream (very satisfying but doesn't achieve much)
• Swear (she wouldn't would she?)
• Tear out hair by fistful (has she any left?)

That just about sums up seekeerz's predicament down under so this week's launch falls once again upon my shoulders.

New month = new game
New players are always welcome

The game is easy and the rules are simple. The Daily Telegraph publishes a GK crossword on Saturdays with 4 special 'grey' clues. On Mondays, a second GK Crossword is published also with 4 grey clues. The two sets of 4 words can be paired up (Linked) to form compound words or recognised two-word phrases. These crosswords are set by Kate Mepham - hence the title of this game - The KM Links and the game is to try and guess what those link words will be before they are published on Monday morning.

Scoring is simple
1 point for each correctly guessed match
1 bonus point for being the first to suggest any correct link (also awarded to those correctly guessing the same link within 2 minutes of the first person)
2 bonus points in addition for having a clean-sweep of 4 matches

To get the game started, we await an early riser to solve Kate's first four grey clues and post them below. Over to you . . .
