ATTENTION PLEASE - CALLING CENTRINO: - Please See Below
Forgive me, but the MM links game has a minor crisis at the moment.
At the end of January, there were three players tied at the top. In order of decreasing time since they were last setter, they were:
Lysander (Apr 2008)
Centrino (Feb 2010)
Beejay (Mar 2011)
Lysander declined the offer for understandable reasons.
I then offered the crown to Centrino, but he never contacted me. Centrino - please email me before the close of this weekend's game (7pm Sunday) to get in touch on

Beejay, please stand by as a reserve.
The game will start as usual tomorrow morning at 8:45 with the introduction and the four challenge words will follow at 9:00.
It is the start of a new month so everyone's scores have been reset to zero - a level playing field for February. Every match you can guess scores a point and an extra bonus point goes to the first discoverer of each link and also to anyone else guessing the same answer within 2 minutes of that discovery. Anyone can play and new players are welcome. Just look out for the MM Links Game thread in Q&P tomorrow.
Why not also try your hand at our sister game of the KM Links (based on the Daily Telegraph GK Crosswords) which is launched by Seekeerz early on Saturday in Q&P. No time-sensitive bonus points there to no rush is necessary.
Talking of 'rushes' I have sent the bouncers home early (the bank balance is getting low) so when the shrubbery gates are opened (ie now) I expect an orderly queue and not a mad rush. Sorry my free drinks weren't to your liking last Friday ;-) blame the same bank balance.
Maybe we could raise funds by offering hints to the links?
Tomorrow's links will be on the subject of . . .
Maybe not - I think my email account has been hacked by The NOTW and there may well be Paparazzi lurking behind every bush.
Sorry, went back downstairs to finish off a bit of knitting. Evsajo, I'm right in the middle, in Warwickshire. In my youth we lived about half a mile away from the Heart of England oak tree which marked the centre of England, but that was always disputed by Meriden and anyway the council decided to cut it down so we sort of lost the moral high ground!
I have a hip-flask of Irish whiskey (practising for Sunday afternoon) - might warm up anyone who wants a taste?
[And I don't fancy being at Murrayfield at dusk tomorrow... ..]
I thought you had all gone to bed so I have been playing Scrabble online !! Goodness me that ginger wine has certainly warmed me up. !!!
There is supposed to be snow here tomorrow so may go sledging !!!
NOTE TO CROFTER I know Crofter sometimes reads the threads so this is just to point out to him that I spell "tomorrow" properly all the time now, thanks to you xx
Sorry everyone but I am going to bed now. Not had much sleep over last few nights so need to try and catch up. I think I will sleep tonight !!! Nite nite xx
