Well, wasn't it exciting last weekend? Who'd have thought it? - a clean sweep by Magyar in a difficult game with few matches elsewhere. Now everyone is thinking, "Can he do it again?". More to the point though, 'If Magyar can do it, then anyone can'. There's nothing to it really, just let your mind go blank and enter the first thing that comes into Pauline's mind. If you can't do that, then you'll just have to resort to the usual tricks of bribery and corruption ;-)


A word of caution: It is probably best to avoid entering the shrubbery via the bridge over the river incase you disturb the trolls sleeping beneath.


As usual, the bonus points will be there for the taking as you crawl sleepy eyed from the shrubbery at 9:00 am tomorrow and remember that the thread will be opened by Psychic Pauline at about 8.45 in the morning. The MM Link Game should then be officially launched by Queen Pauline when she posts her four words to be linked at 9.00am. Then it is up to yourselves.


The international version of this same game is called KM Links and kicks off somewhat earlier once the crossword clues have been solved. Look out for seekeerz from Oz who provides the entertainment, refreshments and rule of law when dealing with that parallel game. In this case, the choice of words and their links are out of our control. They are the grey words chosen by Kate Mepham in her GK Crosswords in the Daily Telegraph on Saturday and Monday!


Enjoy your weekend folks.

Goodnight Laney...and Alan.
Hey Alan..are you going to guess my links tomorrow??
Think we should write a song to sing on a Friday night in the shrubbery...clean of course!!..no rugby type songs Sarumite!!!

Any offers to compose a verse?...

A joint effort...speaking of 'joints'...where is Sarumite???
Possibly rolling one...
Keep rolling!!
Sarumite...don't be mean..share!!!
Don't Bogart that....

Showing my age.......
BertBassett..hope we haven't scared you off!!..Would you like a drink?
Maybe Bert would like a half of lemonade shandy...
What??!!...you jest!!
Bert, if you're still awake after all that illicit drug taking and over-indulgence in alcohol....

The Daily Telegraph each Saturday has a general knowledge crossword. Four of the answers link to four more answers to be found in the Daily Telegraph's Monday general knowledge crossword. These link words are set by the crossword compiler. These are the link words that AB competitors try to guess in the KM Links game. Successful guesses are awarded points and winners are declared weekly and for the month.

The MM Links game is similar in that it involves guessing four link words. These have to link with four words chosen by an AB Shrubbery member (this month the redoubtable paulineward) which are published on a thread that appears at 08:45 on Saturday morning with the initial words appearing about 09:00.

The rest of us in the Shrubbery have until 19:00 on Sunday evening to get inside the mind of the setter and guess the linking words, which we add to the relevant thread.

Correct guesses earn points and, this is crucial, the early bird catches the Shrubbery worm: if you are the first person to guess a link word you earn bonus points....

The results are declared each week and the monthly winner sets the following month's words.

I hope that is a) clear and b) correct......

Welcome... and god luck.
Yo!! .. Hi girls and boys, methinks this shrubbery needs livening up somewhat !!!

It seems we are all completely sober with little sign of anything mildly intoxicating ... so I've come equipped with a firkin of the best real ale, and bottles of single malt ! Could probably run to G&T's for the laydees if they can't manage a pint glass!! Let's party??????
BigMac...your a star!...Have a drink!.
Thanks
But Sarumite...have you been rolling???
..and Bert..what do you win??? Zilch!!!...just honour!

Plaese all remember who you should be 'honouring' this month!!
Explain yourself woman ... do you mean

(i) have you been rolling in the hay?
(ii) have you been rolling a joint?
or
(iii) have you been rolling pastry?

:O) (S)
Hello, what have I missed??? Is there any booze left?? Or have sarumite and Pauline drunk it all??
LOL!!!!!.....Well maybe you've been doing all 3!!
Oh no..I forgot...only women can multitask!! :-))
Hi Jools...Sarumite's been busy..cultivating!!!
That's worrying. By which I mean - BigMac
BigMac appears to be properly awake,lucid, apparently sober and wanting to help. Additionally explaining things as well as being concise and to the point.
HELP, THERE'S A PROPER GROWN-UP IN THE SHRUBBERY.
I'm off to my pit before I get detention
Bert, if you are still here, leave quickly... the depths of the Shrubbery become most depraved as midnight nears.

To preserve my modesty (and sanity) I now wish you all goodnight.
