MM and KM Links Games

[crofter]

It's Friday night and I feel fine.
I've had my pizza and goblet(s) of wine.
Now send the message 'cross hill and glade
It's time to muster the shrubbery brigade.

Are y'ready t'do battle with thorn and hedge
And beat the Wards (both Pauline and Reg).
If you are covered in smears of marmite
Then you must have met with the awesome samurite.

But you must go armed with sword and gun
If you plan to take on the sharp-tongued Dustybun;
And approach with utmost humility
The one called Aquagility!

There's the Hewats, burgess and (of course) cliffyg,
And our in-house solicitor who's called FoxLee.
Don't forget Christiana and Shaneystar2
And Gremus and chriss ~ to name but a few!

The field is global, I say that because
We have Steff all the way from Oz.
And come prepared to dish the dirt
With our Canadian couple (Joan and Bert)

Play if you dare - it's an addictive habit
You could end up like rogerrabbit!
We need sharp brains, we want no fools
You'll pit your wits against Jim & Jools!

But there's one whose powers yet unsung ~
The one that they call "wicked tongue".
Speak his name and every heart sinks
For he is the ONE that sets the links!




Apologies to anyone I've missed, but the red wine is starting to kick in!

LaneyB ~ you asked how long we've been this mad!

[paulineward]

Reg said it's QC actually!!!!
Jools...how did Jim cope with your success last week?

[paulineward]

Have you all noticed how Crofter starts this off each week and then goes back to the bottle I presume????

[Aquagility]

What a blithering shower -
You'll get the DTs,
But not the DT
Which will surely arrive on the hour!

[JoolsTwo]

Blimey, they're all at it.

He was sulking for the first couple of days Pauline. But he got over it eventually. :-)

[paulineward]

Aquagility....very good!
Hope you manage to get up early..ish for your paper!
Have a good weekend...I know you will be busy on here!!!

[paulineward]

Hope you get the better of him again tomorrow Jools!
Good Luck!!!

[JoolsTwo]

I can but try Pauline. Good luck for tomorrow.

[crofter]

I'm back! I've just been touching base with wickedtongue ~ making sure that all is ready for tomorrow's launch!

QUESTION: What is the longest word in the English language ?

ANSWER: It's sMILEs because there's a MILE between first and last lettters!

Believe you me, reading the above has given me a smile that is ONE MILE wide! Where's my bopple of rde wein

[Christiana]

Just staggered in from a hospital visit. Was instantly revived and entertained by the repartee, poems and good natured jousting - so, strength renewed am departing for the shrubbery. With Nil points to date what have I got to lose?

[paulineward]

The prophet returns!....
You have started the bards off!!!
The shrubbery seems very quiet tonight....think I will get in there while the going is good! Regards to Valerie!

[paulineward]

Will meet you there Christiana!......brandy suit you?

[paulineward]

Going to my shrubbery now...Reg wants an early start tomorrow, he says he has an old boiler to fix...said it with a grin on his face..........

[JoolsTwo]

Oooo I'll have some of that Pauline. How about some Shampers to go with it. I've got some egg and marmalade sarnies to go with it, :-)

[sarumite]

I reckon my cunning disguise should get me safely to the front of the queue in shrubbery ..eh??

[Christiana]

Brandy with egg and marmalade sarnies - now that ought to get the brain cells buzzing - or something!

[slaney]

Wow, crofter -- seven verses of iambic pentameter
I'm stunned into (near) silence !
Good luck all shrubbery lurkers !

[Christiana]

Good grief if I see that coming through the shrubbery I won't sleep a wink.

[JoolsTwo]

Which? The iambic pentameter or Sarumites cunning disguise?

[Christiana]

The disguise - I'm not sure 'cunning' is quite the word that springs to mind.

[crofter]

Nice to have you back slaney! How was Rome?

I have submitted all 3 of the last EV's with fingers crossed!

Regarding statistical advice ~ everything went fin!
