MM Links Game Solutions May [Week 1]

[crofter]

I can now disclose that the first set of link words to be chosen by newly crowned burgess3334 (aka Alan) are:

Rough HOUSE
Wind JAMMER
Shake DOWN
Bud ABBOT(T)

These Links were quite sharp and scoring was not exactly prolific! For the first time, the "Two-minute Rule" was not required and no-one scored more than two
points!

Once again, the very quick responders failed to score, although they came close to the chosen theme on occasion. It wasn't until Entrant #9 when rogerr
struck first with the clever BUD ABBOT and seconds later came jan1959 to pick up bonus points for ROUGH HOUSE. These two are never far apart!

Next to fall was WIND JAMMER at 09.07 to Dinkypuzzled, but the last to fall was SHAKE DOWN at 9.34, when Jules100 came in as Entrant #21. All these four scored two points and only one other person scored two points and that was gen2 for WIND JAMMMER and SHAKE DOWN. For this double hit, I declare gen2 "Hot Shot" of the week!

CHEERS ALL ROUND!

I think Burgess goes to the Kate Mepham school of links - very tricky but well done!

At least you will have an easier time with the scores Crofter, as always thanks to you as well

[Aquagility]

It's a fix I demand a recount!

[patchett]

Hey Ho One again!!! Never nind.Perhaps get more in KM tomorrow. Thankyou burgess and crofter.

[crofter]

In view of the low points scores, I think we should chalk up that as a success for Alan. As for his devious tactics, we'll say nothing!

Pay-back time is next Saturday same time ~ same place!
Unless Alan has a "Plan B"!!

Until then, be good! If you can't be good, don't let your conscience stop you enjoying it (whatever you're doing)!

[paulineward]

What a load of old old dwaddle!!! Alan, are they from Ye Olde English Dictionary!!!!!

Caught us all out though!!! Will be ready next week!!!

Well done to any few who scored!!

If anyone would like some decent bedtime reading...for nice sweet pleasant dreams, here we are......http://www.manutd.com/default.sps?pagegid={FF7 FA1BE-3654-4A8F-A548-292FC2814617}&newsid=4251 77

[Christiana]

And to think I was worried that it might be bud blast instead of bud drop. Obviously Burgess is more of a comedian than a gardener. Congrats. to all who scored. Nil Points for me, but look out for next week!

[jan1956]

well done pauline you have earnt you gloat in the sun! ignore the bashers, wait for Athens though!

[paulineward]

Well jan...in the absence of our team being there, I truly hope yours win it! I will be cheering them on!

[nicky999]

Very devious Alan..................but wait until next week, we will all be ready !!!!!!!

[rogerr]

Brilliant start Alan, and thanks crofter for pointing out that I can't spell abbot!!! Well done anyone that got points this week--I think our Alan is going to be a force to be reckoned with!
all the best
B

[evsajo]

Thank you much older brother and Crofter. I thought Shake andvac was worth a point. Itake back what I said about being on Alan's wavelength, no one could be !!!!!!!!!!! Next week will try harder Kay (much younger sister)

[Ont-ice]

A force? More like a 12 on the Beaufort scale.
Well done, Alan. Great debut.
Thanks once again to Crofter for tallying the scores and Congratulations to Gen2 the hotshot of the week.

[paulineward]

evsajo...is he really your brother???!!! You seem so normal!!! Well, he certainly gave Crofter a quiet count!!!

thanks to them both anyway....I think!? :-(

[sarumite]

Back from a day at the races to find there are lots of you level with me on zero points .. good one burgess ... trouble is there won't be room in the Free Fall club for all of you .. perhaps we should levy a membership fee Ont-ice? :O)

[rogerr]

Did you win anything s ?

[sarumite]

No Barbara .. 2 winners but lost out overall .. enjoyed the day though :O)

[gen2]

Goodness me! A 'hotshot' eh? And here was I thinking that by joining in at 1pm I had little chance of points and even wasted one guess with bud wiser (just for fun).

Anyway folks, you needn't worry, I'll be back to my more typical 1 point next week - you'll see.

Another reason the rest of you needn't be worried is that I will miss the last week of this month as I will be going down to Manchester for my niece's wedding. You'll get 4 chances to my 3.

Thanks to Alan and crofter for the chance to participate. See you all next weekend.

[Jules001]

well done Gen2. I surprisingly picked up 2 points (don't ask me how!) - can I just say I am Jules001 not Jules100, am sure it was just a typo but I neeed those points!

[crofter]

Sorry Jules001, I've a bit pressed for time this weekend. Too many tasks to do with tight deadlines! I tend to make typos when I'm rushing. (Who doesn't?)

Life should begin to ease off soon and give me some breathing space.
