MM & KM Links September 2007 [Week 2}

[gen2]

This is Gen2 here standing in once again for Crofter who is sunning himself on Teneriffe midway through a well deserved two week break. Fortunately the shrubbery keys were still where I left them last week (I'm not saying where, but harder to find than that geranium pot). Fortunately everyone behaved themselves last week and there were no complaints from the neighbours so I have once again relented and opened the shrubbery gates provided you all promise to remain on your best behaviour and follow the dress code (No hoodies allowed). Yes, I know it's a bit later than usual, but I've got visitors at the moment and we have just finished our meal.

Tomorrow will bring the second weekend (of five) in the reign of our Jools (The intelligent half of JimJools) who has been dubbed the Crown Jools (there:- does that make up for the remarks I made last week?). As I pointed out last week, this is the third queen in a row - and we males are poorly represented among the point scorers so far. Come on guys - get those thinking caps warmed up.

Switch on, tune in and log on at 8:45 tomorrow for the start once again of the crown jewellery.

For anyone new to the Link games, you can join in at any time. Although the points are accumulated over the whole month, you will hardly be disadvantaged since the most popular score last week was 'Nil Points' and if you are one of those yet to score, paying homage (most currencies accepted) to the 'Crown Jools' may get you a favourable selection on Saturday.

There are two Links Games ~ The MM game (set by one of our own) and the KM game (based on the Kate Mepham GK crosswords in the Daily Telegraph). The first to kick off is KM at about 7.30-ish tomorrow morning. It is organised by seekeerz all the way from Oz. The idea is to try to predict the link words of Herculis (as many hits as possible and as early as possible).

This is followed at 9.00 by the MM Game (with an intro at 8:45), where the links are selected by Jools, who was last month's MM Champion. Games close at appropriate times on Sunday and all entries are scored!

About 50 ABers enter each game each week and it's just a bit of harmless fun!
Newcomers are welcome!

Me? I'm Gen2 the stand-in scorer and record keeper for the September MM game!

Play fair (is there any other way?) & "HAPPY LINKING!"
