MM Links Solutions September 2010 [Week 3]

[gen2]

Evening All, Hope this is not 'The Weather'!

I'm afraid this is going to be good news for a few, bad news for most and extremely bad news for one player who changed a correct answer into a wrong one.

'The Lady Radley' (aka handbaglady) had you all flummoxed once more. There were lots to choose from, but few meetings of minds. Here are her chosen links:-

SUNDAY School
SOCIAL Class
MasterPIECE
TRINITY Term

A total of just seven players earned a mere 12 points between them - so who were they? Read on below.

[gen2]

Three of the four links fell in the opening rush.

The first was taken by Aquagility who made an investment in a MASTERPIECE for two points. Then much later, Mirandasmum tagged along for a single point (More abour her later)

Strix obviously had a strict upbringing (or a crush on his Sunday-school teacher) as SUNDAY SCHOOL fortunately came immediately to his mind for his 2 points. Wickedtongue was like-minded and later picked up a single.

At just 9:05, along came Kawakiri with SOCIAL CLASS (2 points) and this too was very much later matched (in fact early on Sunday morning) by Twix123.

Finally, I have to draw a parallel with waiting for buses (sorry Sarumite). You wait 1hr 40mins and three come along together! A genuine TRINITY of players. 10:41 and Wickedtongue signed up for TRINITY TERM (2 points). The next two players, although outide the two-minute window for bonus points, chose the same term.
Miss Meg picked up her 1 point, but then alas, the third bus broke down and Mirandasmum substituted a relief called HILARY (Pass the tissues please Mirandasdad.)


It only remains to summon up the trumpets to announce that the
*** HOTSHOT OF THE WEEK ***
*** IS WICKEDTONGUE ***
who was not only the first to find the final link but also the only double-hitter in the entire game.
Congratulations Wickedtongue.

As you see, the championship is still wide open with anyone a potential winner. Just one more week to play this month

It could be you.

See you all next weekend when Crofter will be back in charge. This is gen2 signing off.

[Handbaglady]

Thank you gen2 for your marking everyones homework. Not a lot of ticks, detention and extra homework all round. I'll have to see what I can produce next week. Signing off for now Lady Radley.

[owllady]

Thanks gen2 and handbaglady
Another big fat zero for me, still going on hols on Tuesday so good luck to everyone for next week

[Aquagility]

Thanks once again, Lady Radley, and gen2. Not sure about it being 'wide open' though, gen2. Looks like a done job to me!

[tearinghair]

Handbaglady, you are SO devious! Thanks gen2 for scoring, and best wishes to crofter if he's around.

[evsajo]

Oh dear, even though I was there early on Sat. I still didn't score a point !! Thanks to everyone who set links on Sat, I seem to have lost my touch !!!!!

POSTSCRIPT
===========

I must be honest and admit to being somewhat confused by a double entry from **Cupid04**.
Saturday 09:54 ... school mistress / first class / headmaster / half term
Sunday 01:45 ..... school dinners / class divide / past master / full term

I accepted the first answer, but in the absence of a request to replace the original, I simply ignored the second post (not that it made any difference this time).


ALSO
=====

A big welcome to new player **cupid04**

You'll soon get the hang of it.

[mirandasmum]

Isn't there a rule that says you will only accept my first answer ??!!

Many thanks to all.

Annoyed of North London.

[mirandasmum]

I hasten to add, annoyed with myself !!!!

[Strix]

gen2, thank you for my 2 points for Sunday School. Yes I was at school on Sundays (boarding school) but, no, we never had Sunday School and therefore no crush on the teacher thereof!!

[gen2]

LOL Mirandasmum.

We aim to please but most players requesting a change would rather we accepted their change (generally because of too many or too few letters in their answer).

By the way (BTW), one thing that I was pondering during the scoring is:-
"Is a 'Past Master' the same as a 'History Teacher'?"

[ladyalex]

Thank you gen2 and Lady Radley.
Well done wickedtongue and all the other points scorers.
No points again this week for me...nothing new there then.....still hanging on to my place on the leaderboard with 1 point though!

[jan1956]

thanks gen2 and lady radley
no points for me again

[sarumite]

OMG ... I've just looked in to check my score and realise I forgot to submit my entry this week!!
Perhaps you can accept it retrospectively gen2, as follows?..........

SUNDAY School
SOCIAL Class
MasterPIECE
TRINITY Term

Cheers!! (S)

[boxtops]

Oh well, a zero this week, but still hanging on to my point!

[twix123]

Hurrah!! A point at last, the first for a couple of months.

Thank you Your Ladyship and Gen2.
