MM & KM Links October 2008 [Week 4]

[crofter]

Red Wine 1 - 0 Crofter!

I have it on good authority that during this, his last week King Ulysses the Valiant will be "tip-toeing through the tulips" somewhere in Norfolk ~ setting off very early tomorrow morning. He has left behind his preamble and link words for me to do the honours in his absence and not even Pauline herself could guess at this stage what he has to say. After two years of organising MM Links, I have never met a history to match that of King Ulysses. His success over the years with difficult cryptic crosswords and his botanical expertise just mark the beginning of his surprises!

Friday night in the Croft is usually Italian Night, when the red wine flows like the Tiber (or like Tizer?). I am composing this text over two hours in advance, while I can still focus on the keyboard! I only hope that I can make it tomorrow in time for my launch of the MM Links posting on AnswerBank at 8.45am with the four chosen words to be linked (pre-selected by King Ulysses) being declared at 9.00am. Don't forget that this week is the decider in order to dish out honours for the month of October and (at present) recent ex-champion, Dinkypuzzled, is in the lead. More details tomorrow morning!

Goodnight all, My Mum always used to say "Up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire"
See you in the morning (just hope I don't get any phone calls in the middle of the night!!!!)
