MM Links June 2008 [Week 2]

[crofter]

We are on the brink of the second week in the reign of The Dinky Duke and he is promising to be a little more generous with the points this time around. He has been preparing well in advance, since next week I shall be on the Canary Islands and far away from computers. I soon will be passing over the reins to the more-than-capable hands of gen2, who always does an excellent job! I will be processing your predictions from the moment when the MM Link Game is launched by The Dinky Duke, who will set his four words to be linked tomorrow morning at 9.00am.

This last week has also marked the welcome return of seekeerz from Oz, who is the regular organiser of the international version of this same game (called KM Links). That usually kicks off at the unearthly hour of about 06.30am! Let's hope for an easier set of Links this week as last week's were a bit obscure. I nearly went with LOUNGE LIZARD, but changed my mind at the last moment!

I am going to keep it brief tonight, because it's the first Friday of the month and that means Quiz Night at the local Cricket Club and it's my turn as Quiz Master.

Me? I'm crofter, Keeper of the Rule Book and Ancient Abacus.

See you tomorrow, but until then "Happy Linking"!

:o)

Pauline, I'm scared if she starts killing warm-blooded mice after few glasses of Sauvignon Blanc, what havoc, mayhem and slaughter is she going to wreak after a proper drink?

And, Kay, I have been warned by someone else who reads this site that if I drop my guard Pauline will have my "life-story out of me in twenty seconds".

But to keep you all in good humour listen to this (and, Kay, you might like the tag like of "video response to..." under the screen):

didn't check the name Kay, it was on the Marina and painted blue, very nice, could have easliy become a greasy spoon but no, really nice, clean and good food. as i said needed the strength to climb the hill back to the car.
we had already walked round Torquay and Paignton before we got to Brixham were well ready to sit, (must be getting old) love the music strix any more where that came from??

[Strix]

Pauline,

Just to tease, second part of second paragraph inaccurate!

Not far off, but not a palpable hit.

[paulineward]

Strix...that wouldn't be either one of the S's would it?

[paulineward]

Strix...I am working on it!! :-)...with Kay...The Lady Detective Agency has nothing on Kay!

[Strix]

"The Lady Detective Agency has nothing on Kay!"

Now I'm really scared - particularly if she is of the same proportions!

[paulineward]

Have been having a discussion 'elsewhere' about Marmite...never tried it yet...going to get a jar tomorrow.

What about you lot?

[paulineward]

Hey Strix...she was posing as scarey spice last week...and she did look scarey!!

[paulineward]

beejay and x-ray...hope you are still lurking in the shrubbery!

[Strix]

Sounded that she was more like Britney Spears or Miss Allen after her "spiked drinks".

Maybe with enough fuel inside her she could sing along to this:

Strolling past the shrubbery a few minutes ago I had a peek over the hedge - as you do. Such goings on, I don't know, the kids of today!

But I overheard you talking about the caf�s in Brixham. Back in 1945, when the world was young, my ship was towed into Brixham after a collision, and we were there for quite a few weeks. I eeked out my meagre pay by waiting-on at a little cafe at the corner of the inner harbour, next to what used to be the fish market. I wonder if it's still there?

There was no marina there then, of course.

Enjoy yourselves, but don't be late home. And no hanky panky, Pauline!.

[jan1956]

used to give the kids marmite, maybe that explains the way they act sometimes!!
their shoe size as oppesed to their age!

[beejay1124]

hi pauline --just got my afterwork bath- missed your earlier posting re relationship---bj & xray -why not !!

[paulineward]

Argh Aquagility...you spoilsport!!...great to see you though. Do you often peek over hedges??!! :-)

[jan1956]

Hey AQ I reckon that will be the same cafe, now on the Marina but very swish, had a nice liquidish lunch well I did Steve was driving
I map read
so what if i get it a bit wrong?

[paulineward]

beejay...will work on my verse tomorrow!!

Good to see you!!

[evsajo]

Jan yes that's the Breakwater and I agree the food is lovely. We have been there for meals in the evening and they have been really nice.
Strix, I presume the description was Pauline!!! Which bit did P get wrong??
I like Marmite on toast but sadly can't have it anymore due to medication.
Strix, i made a really good Scarey Spice!!!! so be afraid.
Perhaps people could post their favourite piece of music, classical or modern....anythingreally.

[paulineward]

Kay...my music depends on what mood I am in...very much so!... I do like all sorts...but will go and look to see if I can find one of my all time favourite 'early video / songs'...reflecting my mood tonight...see if you can guess before I find it!!!??

[paulineward]

Here it is....
