MM & KM Links Nov 2008 [Week 3]

[crofter]

Another week has gone by with very few MM Linkers scoring on both weeks in the reign of Sir Strix the Obscure. As a result, there are several AB-ers on the maximum score of four points with several others close on their heels! I can honestly say that Sir Strix is a little perturbed as to find the magic formula to reverse the trend. Will he be successful tomorrow? Could be!

I know that the Shrubbery Squad will be there ~ ready and waiting for a change in fortune. The launch opens at 08.45 tomorrow, with a mini novel to read before the MM link words are disclosed at 09.00 (sharp) and Sir Strix sets his third set of four words to be linked by fair means or foul!

You need also to look out for the sister game (called KM Links) that kicks off around 07.00am depending on whoever is first to solve the Herculis Crossword in The Daily Telegraph! Look out for gen2, who will be standing in for seekeerz (from the Land of Oz) over the month of November. He takes responsibility to process the predictions and maintain the League Table for the KM Links.

Me? I'm crofter, keeper of the scores for MM Links for my sins and I process the predictions and maintain the League Tables for the parallel game.

Good luck for tomorrow, when you will have to tune into another round when challenging Sir Strix. Will there be a sea change? Or will you be sunk "full fathom five"?

:o)

Goodnight Kay, I'll be joining you shortly (not literally of course), just want to see the news team's efforts on Children in Need before bed, and I'm just about to get my tot of whisky Pauline, if you want to tell Reg. Goodnight all, see you in the morning for Strix's links.

Goodnight Kay.....and good afternoon Steff, or is it still morning?

[paulineward]

x-ray...just hope I can 'fiddle' the links tomorrow!!

What is your weather like seekeerz?

Quite mild today here...and in the shrubbery...but last few weeks shrubbery has been freezing! We have had to warm it up...mind you ...lots of warm 'air' tonight...a lot of beans been passed around!!!

[seekeerz]

9.30am so still fairly civilised, twix

[paulineward]

Hey Magyar...they are quite good! Good Sports!

[Strix]

Oh Lord, "culture in the Shrubbery"?
Must check the 'fridge - probably something growing on the cheese.
Please don't tell Lady Strix......

[paulineward]

Growing your own penicillin Strix?...or something else?

[seekeerz]

Typically changeable November, Pauline - a stinker on Wednesday but today it's cool but fine, a bit breezy but will be nice later on.

Strix - are you going swimming later, methinks you're sailing a bit close to the wind already !! ??

[paulineward]

seerkeerz....that Strix is a law unto himself!!!
I warned and BEGGED Crofter not to let him set the links...but what can you do?

I feel sorry for Mrs Strix!!! :-))

[Strix]

seekeerz, aah - a well digested bit of over-ripe cheese is liable to give one some degree of wind - not so sure that it is a fair wind, one just hopes it is not a following wind !

[Strix]

Pauline,

Don't you worry about Mrs Strix. Nothing to do with me, but she is in the best possible hands this site could provide.

[paulineward]

I hope you've left her kitchen clean!!!

[Strix]

Sorry to shock you Pauline, but I do the kitchen!

[paulineward]

Oooohhh....maybe the links are to do with cooking tonight?...nobody else is listening...you can whisper! :-))

[seekeerz]

think I'm heading back underneath the radar - these Shrubbery nights are playing with my head !! Time for coffee, then go see what the day has to offer. Will be back later though, for the enthralling [!!] saga of Sir Strix the Indescribable AND his very good Lady this evening !!

sleep well, you lot

[x-ray]

Reading through some of the posts tonight, I think the links might be to do with wind

[seekeerz]

fat chance, Pauline - a clam could take lessons from him !!!

[paulineward]

Good Day...seekeerz!!...see you later...will be climbing the wooden hill myself soon! :-))

[Dustybun]

Kay, if you come back onto this thread, thanks for the Joe Brown. Saw him in Grimsby last Saturday and that is what he always finishes off with. Tops.

Would you early linkers please leave a few good words for the rest of us tomorrow? (Not, of course, that that would necessarily be helpful this month!!!!

Good night all!
