MM Links June 2008 [Week 1]

[crofter]

This will be the first week in the reign of The Dinky Duke and I am looking forward to learning more of the incoming Champion. As always, he has taken on the task of setting the links with all the enthusiasm that we have come to expect from our winners. There is usually much to fit in for preparation for the first launch, but this week it has been exceptionally easy! I will be looking out for your predictions when the MM Link Game should be launched by The Dinky Duke, who will set his four words to be linked tomorrow morning at 9.00am.

This week should also mark the return of seekeerz from Oz, who is the gatekeeper for the international version of this same game (called KM Links) and kicks off at the unearthly hour of about 06.30am! It was a tremendous thrill for me, crofter, to win last month's game and to score 4 hits out of 4. However, I think I shall revert to Plan B for the start a brand-new game.

Belated thanks to gen2 & sarumite for covering the absence of seekeerz. Although, we try to be present every single week ~ things do happen that make this impossible and it becomes vital that willing volunteers are ready to fill the gaps!

Talking of gaps, I shall be having a one-week break in Tenerife in the middle of the month and I have been polishing up my karaoke version of "Kingston Town". I also have already been in touch with gen2 to begin planning for substitutions. There's always something going on behind the scenes to keep the show on the road!

As for me, I am Krophta, Keeper of the Rule Book and Sacred Abacus.

Happy Linking!

Listen as you sip a glass of something special - armagnac, Islay malt etc

Hi Sarumite, we were going to have music tonight chosen by Strix but he seems to have vanished.
Goodnight Laney,sweet dreams.
Pauline was wondering why It's "Dinky", perhaps he collects the cars!!!

[Strix]

Sorry, Kay, to be have been absent. The machine had been hi-jacked by my daughter trying to book a driving test and searching fashion websites.

However if there is still something left in the bottle listen to this:

Strix , how do you remember all these old songs which, as soon as they start to play, I remember all the words.?? I am trying to think of some of the more unusual songs i like but have just gone blank!!!!

[Strix]

Kay, this is one you might not know it is sung by Jennifer Warnes on a 1977 album (Famous Blue Raincoat) covering Leonard Cohen songs. It's worth a listen:

One last for me, boppy enough to get you all up the stairs to bed before the KM and MM links fray in the morn:

Night-night

p.s. Dustybun - good one!

[evsajo]

Great Music again tonight. Would you believe that when Moody Blues came on I was looking at a double CD The very best of The Moody Blues and was trying to decide my favourite track. I love "Go Now" but also like"Isn't Life Strange"
Love Sultans of Swing Sarumite

[sarumite]

Sorry .. I've not had chance to stay around long tonight Kay, and will be off again shortly, so will have to say Goodnight. (S) x

[evsajo]

Don't know if this will work but to anyone still around
