MM and KM Links April 2008 [Week 3]

[crofter]

Good Evening AB Linkers, everywhere!

Welcome to this third week in the reign of Lady Judy, who is doing rather well with her newly acquired IT skills. I don't wish to tempt fate ~ but we now have had two perfect launches. From her latest e-mail, I guess that she is intending to drop some hints as to her intended theme tomorrow, but as Pauline will tell you, guessing the theme is no real advantage sometime.

This is especially so when the setter (as in the present case) can go off at a tangent at any moment. How can you predict the unpredictable? Certainly, we can expect an entertaining game tomorrow morning! The site should open about 8.45 am and the four words to be linked will be declared at 9.00am tomorrow, when MM Links kicks off in earnest.

The international version of this same game is called KM Links and kicks off at the unearthly hour of about 06.30am! Keep your eyes open for seekeerz our very own Wizard of Oz, who has been experiencing problems with her PC. She usually collates the entries and keeps score. Rumour has it that she is in a state of shock because the current leader on 8 Points is some one called crofter!

It has been pointed out, that if I could get my lazy bones out of bed at 06.30am, I could well be on 14 Points! I can still be caught and knocked off pole position. Why not chance your arm at both Link Games? There are only four weeks this month, so we're almost in the home straight. See you at the winning post!

Yea...they go to the toilet but they DON'T wash their hands!!!

[Ont-ice]

I dunno Strix. Maybe it's the wives who need a shot of something before the leaving.

Yup, Kay, I can remember the first time I went to a concert where we had to sit down ( 1970/71 Newcastle City Hall) it was the Stones and I was appalled (I had first seen them in 1963).

[Strix]

Ont-ice, maybe you're right it and it has something to do with our driving skills!

Barbeque 67. and also on the bill was The Move, Zoot Money and Geno Washington but i know there were a lot of other bands too. The admission was �1.00!!!!!!!!

[Ont-ice]

Sorry folks. Must leave now and serve up the burnt offering. I'll have one for the road and since there's still nearly seven hours to go until midnight you just never know what else I might do. Enjoy yourselves and if Sarumite arrives fashionably late give him my best regards.

Just 'linked' onto that Strix...and Reg came into room to say...'That takes me back a bit!!'

[evsajo]

Pauline I have always loved live music and we were lucky living close to Birmingham as there were lots of clubs where the live bands played....The Moody Blues, Cream (Geoff's favourite), The Walker Bros. Dave Berry,Spencer Davis Band, The Searchers...........etc. etc.
Good choice Strix, a real classic.

[evsajo]

Strix, I loved Geno Wasington (and the Ram Jam Band), they played quite often in B'ham and they had a brass player too which made the brilliant sound. Goodnight Strix, am going to look at some more now on Youtube!!!!

[paulineward]

Goodnight Strix...

By the way Kay....our Laura's Punto has been so reliable, cheap on petrol and insurance!..really nifty too!!
