Welcome to this third week in the reign of Lady Judy, who is doing rather well with her newly acquired IT skills. I don't wish to tempt fate ~ but we now have had two perfect launches. From her latest e-mail, I guess that she is intending to drop some hints as to her intended theme tomorrow, but as Pauline will tell you, guessing the theme is no real advantage sometime.
This is especially so when the setter (as in the present case) can go off at a tangent at any moment. How can you predict the unpredictable? Certainly, we can expect an entertaining game tomorrow morning! The site should open about 8.45 am and the four words to be linked will be declared at 9.00am tomorrow, when MM Links kicks off in earnest.
The international version of this same game is called KM Links and kicks off at the unearthly hour of about 06.30am! Keep your eyes open for seekeerz our very own Wizard of Oz, who has been experiencing problems with her PC. She usually collates the entries and keeps score. Rumour has it that she is in a state of shock because the current leader on 8 Points is some one called crofter!
It has been pointed out, that if I could get my lazy bones out of bed at 06.30am, I could well be on 14 Points! I can still be caught and knocked off pole position. Why not chance your arm at both Link Games? There are only four weeks this month, so we're almost in the home straight. See you at the winning post!
Strix...I remember reading once that a Gents Toilet somewhere put a plastic spider in the bottom of the Urinal...to keep 'aims' low...it worked as the men just could not resist squirting it!!!
Until somebody pinched the spider!!!
Pauline had a busy afternoon. I've got my new car!!!!!!
Well not brand new, it's 4 years old, a pale blue Fiat Punto and it's only done 24,000 miles.
Hadn't told the children I had bought it so took it to show Linz tonight and she said "let's go and show James" so we drove nearly 20 miles to show him. Everyone is very impressed, it's got loads of posh extras and I really like it!!!
Since the gentlemen? brought up the subject of urinals and A-pis etc, would one of them please tell me why they always need to use same the minute they are told that food is ready? Never fails in this house so is it a man thing?
Now, Kay, you are making me feel ancient. Hi ho silver lining was released at the time of my 21st and I remember having seen Jeff Beck as a stand-in guitarist for Screaming Lord Sutch a year or more before.
If you want some more from the same year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hSW67ySCio
I can't open Youtube so I'm dancing without music. Pass the bottle someone and I'll soon hear my own music.
And what about my question. I really would like to know the answer..
No- it is Pavlovian conditioning. All mothers say to their sons (immediately prior to food being served) "Have you been to the toilet and washed your hands?"
The mere mention of food in later life triggers the same automatic response.
Well! That's a relief Gen2. I have often wondered if he needed to take a shot of something that he's hidden in the bathroom before he can face my cooking. http://www.cartoonstock.com/lowres/ndi0889l.jp g
Ont-ice, you may be correct about us men but by the same token why is it that when we are all about to leave to go somewhere wives suddenly remember they forgot something which usually then takes them about five minutes to find.
Brilliant Strix, I saw Jimmi Hendrix at a pop concert in the bulb sheds in Spalding, Lincs. Also on the bill was Pink Floyd, Cream, crikey had a mental block who else was on, but there were lots of bands. It went on all night and we left the next morning. It was a fantastic experience. Will have to try and remember who else was there. It was probably one of the first large pop concerts, no seats just dancing and very crowded but a night to remember!!!
