Once again this is 'The Court Jester'.

As I sit here making preparations for the entertainments to mark the beginning of the Chinese Year of the Dragon, I am reminded of a Chinese proverb. ‘Be careful of what you wish for, as your wish may be granted.’ For almost 6 years I’ve been wanting to have the chance to put the boot on the other foot and have a chance to tease my masters. But in spite of help and encouragement from the Lord Chamberlain, I’ve learned that it is not quite the bed of roses I was expecting. (Some lovely mixed metaphors there!)

But, back to the Chinese New Year. I’m going to have to watch my step. Last year I thought I made quite a good joke to introduce the Year of the Rabbit. It involved the words ‘receding hare line’, and a few of the vainer members of the court thought that their attempts to hide their follicular deficiencies had been sussed and I was poking fun at them. Of course we all know about their perukes, but I should have known it would be more than my job’s worth to allude to them – even obliquely. I had a very stern talking-to from the Lord Chamberlain – some retired General, who has the job of keeping the court running smoothly. It seems that Dragon jokes are definitely out, as almost everyone could take offence.

So I’m reminiscing about some of the years when they liked my jesting.

According to normal practice, for the everyday running of MM, I shall follow this rule on word length, in that 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 of, or behind my challenge word.
The competition will officially close on Sunday Evening at 7.00pm, when gen2 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 set of four words to have their links predicted should appear below at 9.00am.
