MM and KM Links June 2008 [Week 3]

[gen2]

Good Evening Linkers both MM and KM and "Bon Voyage Crofter" who is away to Tenefiffe for a well-earned break. This is gen2 standing in as overseer and scorer.


It is now mid-month, and for both games it is too soon to predict any winners as there are simply loads of points still on offer. May I remind you that the bonus points are time sensitive and to stand the best chance of picking one up, you need to set your alarm and get in early. The MM game is launched at 8:45 tomorrow morning and the words will appear at 9:00. The KM game (based on the Telegraph GK Crosswords) starts even earlier as soon as someone gets the paper and solves the clues, so be on the lookout out from 6:30 onwards for that one - look for a thread started by seekeerz.


This is week 3 (of 5) in the reign of the Dinky Duke who is all set to puzzle you once again with four more carefully selected words for you to guess the four corresponding linkwords he has chosen. Are you on his wavelength yet?


As most of you are aware, this thread forms the entrance to the 'Shrubbery' in much the same way as a wardrobe allows access to Narnia. Like Narnia it has its good and bad characters but I'll leave you to determine who is which (the witch?).

Just let me pass on a warning issued by Strix earlier in the week . . .


"Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate"


Is it really Hell in there?


PS - If you are hopeless already, then you have nothing to lose - come on in.

[Strix]

Cheers Virgil for the tour.
Now, Beatrice, take me away from all this.

We'll begin the evening in a civilized fashion:

Relax, enjoy.
It can only get worse.

Evening all!!!
Thanks for that Strix...I hope you are going to stay civilised all night!!

Jekyll and Hyde, Pauline

As the light fails
Dracula lifts an eyelid
The bats in the Shrubbery stir
A cauldron is coming to the boil
The Friday mob are getting their worst on
Cocktail shakers are having the dregs from seven days ago cleaned out.
The vinyl is being taken out of covers
The Dansette has its lid raised
Soon there will be a quorum
And THEN it is Friday night in the Shrubbery

[Strix]

Civilized, Hell no, Pauline!

[paulineward]

That was great Strix!!

What would you have for your last meal?

[jan1956]

civilised????
I don't think so
Sainsbury's have 25% off ant 6 bottles of wine and I get a further 10% off that so am well stocked up and have the week end off, I am not going to be all posh and sober!!! we also get our bonus next week 2.5% all adds up
what is every one drinking??

[jan1956]

Strix "save the last dance" is better by the drifters

[paulineward]

ohh thanks Jan... a glass of white...medium sweet please!
Strix and I were just going to have our last meal!!!

You came just in time!

[jan1956]

We are on the white Lindermans, I managed a case on my bike!

[paulineward]

2.5 miles Pauline, 3 years ago when we were changing from safeways to sainsburys I took 10 bottles on my bike as it was silly prices and we could not leave it, I had a pack of straws ready!!!!

[paulineward]

That was good Kay!

No, no, no,.....it is Friday night...put ironing board away!!!

Concentrate on computer!

I have been papering Helen's room today...and I must say I am quite pleased with myself!

[jan1956]

Kay thanks for that, it's great the way you can put on piccies and songs I can remember that shy retiring lady who would not say boo and could hardly post on here

[paulineward]

[jan1956]
