MM and KM Links July 2008 [Week 4]

[crofter]

Good Evening AB Linkers, everywhere!

Welcome to this final week in the reign of Princess Pauline, the Bard from Stockport. This week, she has had more trouble with her foot (her iambic foot!). As far as I know, nothing major is planned so all should go like clockwork. Famous last words!

Today has been almost "summery" and I have spent a little time in the garden. I am ashamed to say that the weeds are still winning the battle by a long chalk. Perhaps this weekend will see a turn in the weather for the better. Still, I hope you find time to stand by in the Shrubbery waiting for the posting, which should appear tomorrow at 8.45am and the four words to be linked should be declared at 9.00am, when MM Links kicks off in earnest. The scores will be totted up for the month of July to determine the next MM Links Champion, who is charged with setting the link words during August.

Haven't been to Linz's yet as am on the phone and have been for about an hour. Just been reading this and trying to understand it while talking

[paulineward]

Oh Kay....I know what you're like on the phone!!!

[jan1956]

Pauline you did fix up S with my address while I am in the peaks didn't you???
I will leave the hoover plugged in
jan

[paulineward]

No problem Jan....he was okay when he learnt how to switch it on!!

[Strix]

I know that Lady D of the Fly is exhibiting signs, with her visitors, of gerontophilia (don't worry, non-arrestible as yet) but asking a gent of mature years to use a vacuum cleaner verges on the unnatural.

Sorry, Kay, you are having trouble reading this but I am having trouble writing this!

AND do you know it is nearly ten o'clock and apart from a fleeting glimpse of a bottle of Gallo (been to the winery) no one else has offered a drink.

Me, I am off to bed, hope sarumite et al will turn up to keep you all occupied and maybe provied a drink or two to you lot.

Night night.

[paulineward]

Oh Strix....Reg says he has a nice malt in the kitchen you can have a glass of!!

[sarumite]

On that note it's time I made my entrance again ... Cheers Reg, and do any of you really believe I was using a hoover??? :O)

[Strix]

I hope not, or else sarumite, I will be contacting Bishop Wordsworth's Old Boys association and asking if they still do fagging!

[evsajo]

I HATE CATS!!!!!!!! Have just spent ages trying to get Linz's cats in but have given up with one. She has 2 and one of them just doesn't like me so if I want him to come in have to open the door and hide so he can't see me. Just hasn't worked tonight so have given up. (with L's permission)
Sorry I missed Strix, he's a bit too highbrow for me tonight!!!! (but he does have very good taste in music)

[paulineward]

What a shame I forgot to take a picture!!!

[evsajo]

I'll spill the beans!!! You mopped the floor too!!!!!!

[sarumite]

Oh no!! my credibility is now zilch!!! :O(

[paulineward]

I didn't like cats Kay...until we got one years ago....sadly it had to be put to sleep 18 months ago...but they are cleverer than you think!....or maybe it's cos it was female!!!

[sarumite]

In practice it was something like this Strix !! And I thought it was just my body they were after!!

[paulineward]

.....and he warmed the tea plates Kay...when I forgot!!! :-))

[paulineward]

Now Sarumite....you dare say who was who in that video clip!!!

[sarumite]

Pauline ...my lips are sealed !! ☺

[paulineward]

Sarumite...you should have been a politician!!!

[Strix]

Kay, just to make up apparently being highbrow (don't worry too much, if I am in a pub I am usually in the public bar) and as you don't like cats, here are some useful instructions of how a moggy might be of use:

Loo Cleaning Instructions

1. Put both lids of the loo up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.

2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.

3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the loo and close both lids. You may need to stand on the lid.

4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the loo, the cat is actually enjoying this.

5. Flush the loo three or four times. This provides a 'power-wash' and 'rinse'.

6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.

7. Stand behind the loo as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.

8. The cat will rocket out of the loo, streak through the bathroom, and run outside where he will dry himself off.

9. Both the loo and the cat will be sparkling clean

Yours sincerely,
The Dog

Brilliant Strix, you have made me laugh tonight and if I catch that little devil tomorrow Linz will come home to a very clean loo!!!!
I would say dogs are less trouble but yesterday one of mine had a fit and today had to take the other one to hte vet as he has breathing and lung problems!!!
