Well, here we are once again preparing for our weekly ritual of word association, and it's Sir Sarumite (he of the cunning plan notoriety), reporting for his second term of duty.

Last week it appears that most of you were out of "sync" with my selections, probably owing to the fact that there were numerous options, and this may, (or may not), tempt me to be more accommodating this week? :O)

Transport was my chosen theme last week, reflecting a lengthy career in the passenger transport industry. Now what cunning plan can I implement for the link words being set up for this week�s fun and games?

As I�m sure you�ll all know, the Olympic Games have just started, and with blanket coverage on television my days (and probably nights) will be taken up keeping in touch with events in China. What an opportunity to watch sport at the highest level, with athletics, boxing, cycling, swimming, equestrian and a host of others being contested. I have considerable interest in all of them, possibly reflecting an inborn competitive nature!

Then, in a few days time, it will be the �Glorious 12th� when the shooting season officially starts, although I�m sure the red grouse and animal rights activists won�t be too pleased about this turn of events!

I always remember this date as it coincides with my brother�s birthday, although I�m not suggesting for a moment that he�s in any way a grouse!!

According with normal practice, for the everyday running of MM Links, I will follow the usual rule on word length as introduced by crofter. Each of my pre-selected link words contains at least four letters and at most eight letters. Stray outside this range and you will be wasting one of your attempts!

Each of the selected link words may go in front or behind my challenge word! The competition will officially close on Sunday Evening at 7.00pm, when crofter will declare my pre-selected words and then apply the same rules for awarding points that have been applied during all MM Link Games in the past. My first set of four words to have their links predicted should appear below at 9.00am.

Well I should have guessed transport last week...I could have kicked myself...and sport is too obvious this week.
Maybe Games...as in the Olympics and as in sport and shooting??? Hmmm.

It can't be whisky connections as in Grouse as Sarumite doesn't drink!!

Hi S, sport has got to be too obvious, what about the "birthday" link? Is it to do with parties??
