This is the first week in a new year, in a new month, and in the reign of Queen Pauline. She has been so determined to win this crown that for several weeks she has been Practicing Posting at Intermettent Intervals some Interesting Information on Quizzical Questions. She now has an something else to occupy her mind - making up the links each week and transmitting them through her psychic powers to whoever has the ability to receive them.
You will have noticed that tonight's shrubbery has been opened once again by myself, gen2, as it will be for the rest of this month. Crofter has family commitments that will keep him away for the next few weeks and I have promised him that I will keep you all in control and add up the scores as they come in. Visitors to the shrubbery are warned that dabbling in the psychic realm can potentially damage your health so take care. Also, anyone borrowing the Campbell-Stokes sunshine recorder is asked to return it before sunrise.
As usual, the bonus points will be there for the taking as you pour out of the shrubbery at 9:00 am tomorrow and remember that the thread will be opened by Psychic Pauline at about 8.45 in the morning. The MM Link Game should then be officially launched by Queen Pauline when she posts her four words to be linked at 9.00am. Then it is up to yourselves.
The international version of this same game is called KM Links and kicks off at the unearthly hour of about 06.30am! Look out for seekeerz from Oz who provides the entertainment, refreshments and rule of law when dealing with that parallel game. In this case, the choice of words and their links are out of our control. They are the grey words chosen by Kate Mepham in her Crosswords in the Daily Telegraph on Saturday and Monday!
G'night S, an early morning for you! I shall miss the crossword while we are away, I shall have to spend my spare time learning German. Speak again soon.
Hi Pauline and Christiana,
See you have been getting a 'bit of stick' Pauline!!
All is well here, things going as planned, just off to bed now so will say goodnight - good luck for tomorrow!!
Tell Reg there's nothing left after Christmas and New Year, so it looks like glass of milk instead, and to top it all don't know what pay I've got this month to buy any more as the pay slips have gone missing !!!!
First computer discs, now pay slips (containing bank details), I'm not sure whether the Government should be using these couriers.
I'm off to find a nice cozy spot in the shrubbery. Don't stay up too late Pauline - You need a clear head and a steady hand for tomorrow - or do I mean a steady head and a clear hand, or sleight of hand at the very least. Anyway all the best for tomorrow.
Sorry I disappeared but suddenly went offline "cannot find server" I am so fed up with that phrase and it meant I missed Laney too. She has sent me another Email today and am glad you are sending her all the messages Pauline.
Sorry but I have to turn in myself now as I didn't get much sleep last night and I need to be ready with my boots blacked at 8.45am. Good Luck Pauline, I wait with baited breath for your words!!!!!
Goodnight all.
Thanks Kay and Christiania!!
Kay cos I guessed you!!... and Christiania for posting my 'winning link' when I was in Grassington!!
