MM & KM Links February 2008 [Week 2]

[gen2]

It is week two already in the reign of King Fordward. Last week he brought a breath of outdoor fresh air and pleased many of you who got (at least partially) on his wavelength. Will the same players be able to tune in again this week? or will he change tack and appeal more to those who previously scored zero?

You know how it is sometimes when you look back through old photo-albums and the images conjure up thoughts and associations. Last week I came across some pictures taken on our honeymoon to snowy Iceland - no digital imaging in those days, just a compact camera to record the sights. I remember visiting the cathedral at Sk�lholt (the one with the famous mural) where a string quartet were performing a concert of chamber music. In the collection plate at the exit I spotted a strange coin - a copper nickel, presumably deposited by an American tourist. Now - will King Fordward's words conjure up appropriate associations in your mind? Find out tomorrow.

As usual, the bonus points will be there for the taking as you nurse your virtual hangovers out of the shrubbery at 9:00 am tomorrow and remember that King Fordward's thread will be opened by gen2 at about 8.45 in the morning. The MM Link Game should then be officially launched when the four words to be linked are posted at 9.00am. Then it is up to yourselves.

The international version of this same game is called KM Links and kicks off at the unearthly hour of about 06.30am! 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 Crosswords in the Daily Telegraph on Saturday and Monday!

Enjoy yourselves.
