MM and MK Links and Rules

[crofter]

Well, the second week of the reign of gen2 is upon us and I (foolishly) promised to have a go at setting out the Rules of the Links Games (time permitting)! Very briefly, we pay homage to gen2 as the Laird of the Links simply because he scored more points than anyone else playing MM throughout the Month of May. His reward? He gets to set four words every Saturday morning (at 9.00 am) for the current month and we need to predict his link words that he has chosen in the style of the TV game of "Blankety Blank".

Each Entrant tries to predict his four links and each effort is scored according to a set of rules. To make things a little easier, predictions are limited in length of words (4 to 8 letters please). How are points awarded?

Jools!....I am a very fussy eater...but that looks lovely!!!

[Christiana]

Thanks for info Pauline. Regarding Gen2 the truth is I think we're all a bit bamboozled (that's an interesting word). The truth is the links seemed very reasonable, quite guessable in fact, but hardly anybody did guess them. Clever or what?

[JoolsTwo]

What's this quiz then Pauline?

[shaneystar2]

It would be very quiet if we were all in the big brother thingy We would be too busy doing our crosswords and rifling through dictionaries ....but of course war could break out once sarumite opened a bottle of single malt .
We would be front page news ...".In the Big Brother hooose tonight ....Paulineward has to be helped to bed " ..too many cryptics have been her downfall and that last clue was just too much .A large glass of wine soon revived her to solve another day !
Who watches that rubbish ?

[paulineward]

Is that a picture of what you've just rustled up for Jim??

[Christiana]

Lovely for you to have your daughter coming, Jools. No wonder you're excited. What time are you picking her up?

[JoolsTwo]

I don't know shaney - certainly no one in this house. :-)

[JoolsTwo]

Ofcourse Pauline. :-)

I pick her up at 4.pm - by the time we get back and have something to eat, she will probably be ready for bed. Or she will nod of in the car on the way back here. :-)

[paulineward]

No one admits to watching it, but we all know about it!!
Can you imagine all the different characters from AB put together in BB....!!!

Jools, Crofter is going to set a quiz which we will place on here as well, to raise funds for a local sick children's charity. Will post more details as and when. He really is good!

[JoolsTwo]

Anyone seen this - O-ice poted it on Answerback.

[crofter]

Christiana, I'm in the process of compiling a quiz entitled "The Birds and the Bees" for Pauline's Charity called "Dragonfly".

More details later!

[paulineward]

Yes ...I saw that..amazing! .. When I go for a blood test, it has a head on it!!! Too much lager and wine!

[shaneystar2]

Have a nice time with your daughter Jools ...I am off to bed ..Goodnight all and Good Luck with the old crosswords and have a good weekend xx

[paulineward]

Good night shaney...give the real shaney a pat!

[sarumite]

Whilst you laydeees have been socialising, I was able to slip past unnoticed and secure a well hidden vantage point at the far end of the shrubbery. This should put me in prime position for my early morning links assault.
And please don't think that you can bribe me into telling you my cunning plan, as I am well provided with a bottle of Shaney's single malt, which should just about see me through the night !! :O)
