MM Links Solutions June 2008 [Week 5]
13 Answers
This fifth and final week in the extended reign of The Dinky Duke brought headaches to several entrants, but those that kept their nerve scored the points. Using a theme based on Puzzles, I can now reveal the chosen links as being:
GOOD Vocabulary
Spelling TEST
LATERAL Thinking
GENERAL Knowledge
Once again there were plenty of points for the early birds!

The first entrant was one from the leading pack, namely Alibobs, who began with a double whammy in SPELLING TEST and GENERAL KNOWLEDGE to claim FOUR POINTS after bonuses. These were immediately duplicated by bridgenut for another FOUR POINTS. There at the opening was freebi 2 who added LATERAL THINKING to the earlier to General Knowledge for yet another FOUR POINTS.
With three links now available, other four-pointers were jan1956 & kettledrum and single early hits were registered by AllyLally, ulysses100, centrino, forward & JMR27. Worthy of mention with double hits (slightly out of time) were Grenmus & paulineward and we even got a triple hit from devadiva. Excellent!
The very last link was GOOD VOCABULARY and that went to Entrant #22 who was the eagle-eyed Christiana entering her guesses at 09.29am and threw in Lateral Thinking as an extra! This type of late success is a regular event with Christiana.

The League Table after this final week in June is:
TEN POINTS: Alibobs
NINE POINTS: AllyLally
EIGHT POINTS: forward, jan1956 & paulineward
SIX POINTS: bridgenut, Grenmus & kettledrum
FIVE POINTS: beejay1124, Christiana, devadiva & x-ray
I therefore declare Alibobs as the clear June MM Links Champion!
*** C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S ***
*** Let Trumpets Sound ***
*** Let All Rejoice ***
Next week, there will be a new Monarch to set the Links!
My thanks go to The Dinky Duke for a memorable month of links ~ and of course to gen2 for yet another polished performance!
This is crofter signing off for another week.
Same time � Same place � Brand new challenge
Until then: HAPPY LINKING!

Whoops I've done it again!!!!!!
I do feel the majority of my points are because I get up early rather than my choices!
I am honoured to be the linker again but as I have already held this esteemed post I would like to offer the crown to Ally Lally.
Please consider it Ally Lally, Crofter guides you all the way, honest!

Zut alors! my duck has been broken, so to speak - I have scored A point! Out of 20 words provided by Dinky Duke I managed 1 - pretty good going (NOT)
Very Well Done to Alibobs and all the other high scorers!
and thanks to Dinky Duke, crofter and gen2.
P.S. to Strix maybe the song you're thinking about is Gracie Fields' "Sally, Pride of our Alley"...

Thanks Dinky Duke, Crofter and gen2 for another enjoyable contest.
Congratulations to Alibobs and AllyLally (Strange that you two should end up close together - I always get you mixed up)
Well done all the other scorers, I just managed to scrape in at the tail of the leaderr board.
Look forward to another months competition next weekend, in the meantime have a good week everyone, enjoy what there is of the summer.
See you all tomorrow for the KM and next Friday in the shrubbery
