Tel GK/Herculis Links Game : December Week 1

[sarumite]

Yes it's the beginning of another month, and time to launch the Herculis Link Game for the month of December.

As all of you regulars are aware, ShamrockBlue is unable to continue in his administrative role owing to other commitments, so I have been asked to launch the thread to ensure that our not so little weekly diversion continues unabated!

For any newcomers to the game, (and all are most welcome), the object is to predict Monday's Herculis Linkwords in the Daily Telegraph, with the shaded solutions from Saturday's crossword.

Crofter will then award points for each correct guess this weekend, and also for the next four weekends, to determine the overall champion for the month. Let's hope that the beads on his abacus are well greased and in good working order!

After several weeks attempting to predict the correct links, it is perhaps a little surprising that nobody has yet managed to forecast all four �. is that about to be accomplished this week?? A permanent place in the AB annals and undoubted bragging rights surely await the first person to achieve this enviable distinction!!

If anyone is ready with this week's LINKS before I manage to fall out of bed on Saturday morning, I would be grateful if they could be posted here �. so let battle commence!

The very best of luck to you all : o)
