MM and KM Links April 2008 [Week 3]

[crofter]

Good Evening AB Linkers, everywhere!

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!

Sarumite...Strix....boys!!! ...WHAT????...

[Strix]

Crikey, for all sarumite's protestations he is a rugger fan it turns out he owns Chelsea football club!

[sarumite]

Damn!! The secret's out .... sshhhhush!!

[paulineward]

Or maybe it's welsh!! As Cardiff are playing his football team .. Portsmouth in cup Final!!

[LaneyB]

Was just on my way to bed and dropped in to see what was happening on here tonight and its taken me about half an hour to trail through this and listen to all the You tube songs and when it came to Hey Ho Silver Lining Alan jumped out of bed to come and see what was going on - thought I had gone mad singing along!!! Really been taken back just a few years!!!

[sarumite]

Must get back on board ... we can party there!!

Paulineward ... wash your mouth out!!

[Strix]

Always wondered what Roman Abramovich's middle name was - now with the picture of his "gin palace" I know it to be sarumite.

And, Pauline, I would suspect that a properly educated gent like sarumite would only have a passing interest in soccer....

[sarumite]

Trouble is Strix ... that Pauline knows me too well!!

[evsajo]

\\\\\strix just come back to see your 3 tunes. I have all of them, had a julie Driscoll LP. and how did you know Suzanne was one of my favourite Leonard Cohen songs? I had a couple of his LPs. You really have stirred some memories!!!!!!
I saw Cream quite a few times as Geoff played drums so Ginger Baker was one of his idols.
Back to Yoytube for other oldies!!!!

[evsajo]

Sorry about typing mistakes.
Laney, Hi Ho Silver lining always makes me feel like dancing, but Strix has been posting some real memory stirrers!!!!!
Pauline has been doing heavy drinking (lol) but I havent had one drink!!!

[Strix]

Right, Kay, these are my last to make you feel "late at night" nostalgic. And I make no apologies if you feel a little soppy if they were sprung on me at this time of night, but hope they send you to bed with good memories of those years:

[paulineward]

Just had a late call from my sister...will just catch up!!!
Don't they know Friday night is busy??!!

[Ont-ice]

Is the party still going?

[paulineward]

What a trip down Memory Lane tonight!!!
Reg did the same as Alan Laney...kept coming in room to songs playing...only I didn't remember them all!!

[paulineward]

Hi Ont-ice...Mr O...fed and watered?
Think it might be coming to an end soon here...but it's been a busy night since you and Kay popped on!!

[Ont-ice]

Unfortunately, I missed all the tunes and can't even go back to the links and play them as my computer refuses to let me open YouTube. I used to be able to and then suddenly it quit on me.
Did you get today's e-mail from me?

[x-ray]

Hello again.
Just got back on line.
Yes, it sounds as if you all have had quite a party tonight, what with all those golden oldies, sarumites russian message, etc.
Must turn in now, see you all in the morning for the Links games.
Good night all. X
