MM Links Solutions May 2007 [Week 2]
23 Answers
This second week of May went much smoother and far more points have been picked up! I can now reveal the latest chosen Link Words of burgess (aka Alan) and they are:
Bottle NOSE(D)
Glass BLOWER/BLOWING
ARMOUR Plate/ Plate ARMOUR
TUNING Fork
In summary, TUNING FORK proved a popular choice and brought its own rewards. But before awarding points, may I add my best wishes to Alibobs on her birthday!

I noticed that the hints to the theme this week were spotted ~ but it didn�t appear to help, since the first five entrants failed to score and it came to cliffyg to draw first blood with ARMOUR PLATE. He was followed seconds later by wickedtongue with TUNING FORK! That brings bonus points to two former champions!
Within the required two minutes came Dinkypuzzled with another TUNING FORK (to also qualify for a bonus point). The two-minute rule was only used the once this round! The next to fall was BOTTLE NOSED, picked up at 9.10sm by Entrant # 16 in the form of sarumite , who also predicted TUNING FORK! YES, this is yet another week when the devious sarumite becomes Hot Shot of the Round. You can�t keep a good man down!
***CHEERS ALL ROUND ! ***

The last link of GLASS BLOWER withstood detection until 12.39, when the international challenge arrived from North America and Mr Ont-ice picked up the last bonus point. This is not the first time this doughty pair has fought their way through snowdrifts to claim the last link word!
Many entrants picked up the odd word, but two of you managed double strikes and they were chriss & regward to deserve special mention in despatches!
New to the Links game were fordward, Meadow Lane & marched and we wish them �Welcome�!
League Table for May (so far)
FOUR POINTS: Dinkypuzzled
THREE POINTS: gen2 & sarumite
Nine others have amassed a total of two points and are well placed to strike next week
Until then this is crofter signing off for another week.
Hope you enjoyed the competition. If you did ~ remember this week�s theme and KEEP BRITAIN TIDY and a message to the Ont-ices NEVER EAT YELLOW SNOW!
See you all same time, same place, same jokes ~ BUT a different set of link words to predict! Week 3 is when my abacus tends to get overheated!! ............. :o)

I know you are much older than me Alan but I thought we might be on the same wavelength a bit. Week 2 and still no points !!!!! Well at least it shows you are not helping me ! I will try MUCH harder next week . Love from Much Younger Sister Kay
Pauline, hello. Forgot to check your score. Was it as bad as mine ? Kay

Not too unhappy this week with Mr. O picking up a bonus point, but then a guy's entitled to pick up a bonus point on his birthday. Two more weeks to go with crafty Burgess so maybe Mr. O is more on that wave length than moi.
Thanks to Burgess for some head scratching and puzzling.
Thanks to Crofter and his over-heated abacus.
Congrats to friend Sarumite who is skating close to the wind re his Free Fall club membership.
To everyone who took part thanks for the fellowship and the laughter.
The O-ices
PS. To Crofter: The snow's gone for another year but will bear in mind your excellent advice.

Thanks, burgess and crofter. I'm delighted to have scored another zero this week, because now I shan't feel so bad being unable to take part next week! (Shall be sailing in Scotland and can't figure out any way of being with you).
I'll bring back a haggis to share in the shrubbery the week after. (:-)>
Wow .. I'm a hotshot, even after being nobbled and ill -treated by the laydeees in the shrubbery ! As crofter said -you can't keep a good man down ... please note: Pauline, Jan, Evsajo, Barbara, Christiana et al !!! :O)
Well we both scored points Ont-ice, so I won't throw you out from the club, if you also look after my membership!
Think much older brother is doing a super job evsajo ... it's just a shame we can't keep him on for another month.
Thanks for yet another top drawer presentation of the situation crofter .. if the abacus does finally fail, I can send over a few counters from the tiddly winks box! ☺☺
