A new month, a new queen and (for one week only) a substitute referee. Crofter has had to go away for the weekend and has passed the shrubbery keys and his abacus to me once again. This time the honours fall upon Queen Jan to set the MM Link words but tomorrow it is I who will be posting the preamble and links on behalf of Her Majesty since even Queens have to go to work early some Saturdays.
These games both commence tomorrow morning and since it is the beginning of a new month, everyone is starting on an even playing field with love all points. (sorry - sport was King Grenmus's theme last month - Who knows what themes will be chosen by Queen Jan). Look out for both these games tomorrow morning with the KM game starting about 7.30 am on a thread launched by seekeerz and then at exactly 8.45am, Jan's preamble for the MM Links game will be posted, followed at 9:00am by the link words themselves.
Newcomers are always welcome!
The rest of this thread is for erudite musings on the relative merits of different malts and the bouquet of fine vintage wines (as if ! ). Behave yourselves and don't all rush out at once when the alarm goes in the morning. This is gen2 saying "Behave yourselves - but have fun"
I'm just on my way out but will be back at about 10.30. Pauline don't let sarumite drink all the wine will you. Same some for me please. See you all later. :-)
Evening all (I sound all Dixon of Dock green) Thanks gen2 for opening up, and taking over for me tomorrow when i have to be awol at work.
I am full of cold so think it will be a hot lemon as opposed to mulled wine.
Look forward to seeing your links to my chosen words

Sound as if Pauline has been sent to the dungeon, who is volunteering to take her a large bottle and a cake with a file in it?
I cannot have one of my loyal subjects treated like this, and any way who is going to keep (S) in order?

Hey! Where is everyone? Why has Pauline been sent to the dungeon? Have the rest of the Shrubbery gang been sent with her .... or are they plotting her escape .... or been issued with ASBOs? I think we should be told!!
I've been working away from home for the last 2 days and was really looking forward to a good party: as it is it looks like I'd better have an early night instead.
Kettledrum .. how nice to see you here ... trust you have come equipped with the requisite bottles of red?
I have been sidetracked with a few unmentionable problems this evening, so may not be able to stay for the duration! (S) ;O)
Sarumite - Of course I wouldn't come empty-handed , and as I learn it's to be a big birthday bash I've worked my magic and transformed the white into bubbly - about enough for one glass each, and then we can move onto the red stuff once the food is ready - but what a waste of a hog roast if all the guests have been arrested en route to the party!
Hello all, just been speaking to Pauline and for some reason her posts aren't appearing. I think she is a bit fed up because tonight was going to be BIG PARTY night!!! Never mind I can still have a drink as my virus is much better and I am supposed to have plenty of fluids!!!!
