47 Answers
Welcome to the third week in the reign (of terror) of Don Corleone aka The Godfather: alias deecee131. You must admit that last week's launch was a (slight) improvement on my first! I think that I will just about master these IT skills when my reign will be over! Such is Life! You finally learn how to operate efficiently in one post, when you are moved on to a different post and have to start all over again. Well, that's how the Civil Service seems to operate!

No best answer has yet been selected by crofter. Once a best answer has been selected, it will be shown here.
For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.As the years went by, my Civil Service ('Mafia') career covered a variety of tasks; all based in London. So I became a seasoned traveller on the Underground (Tube) or from where I live (the Overground). (I am beginning to sound like a Womble!) Eventually, I built up experience with such topics as Finance, Contracts, Sales, Document and Building Security: giving me a wide spread of duties. I suppose these skills gave me a good grounding for my future 'Don' career of Extortion, Contract Killings, Profiteering, etc, etc, etc.
Seriously though, I really did change positions every 3 or4 years and consequently made numerous friends. On the social aspects of my life, Sport has always played an important part (and still does). I played football until age 36 and cricket until age 57, when Father Time caught up with me. Nowadays, I umpire regularly in Essex for adult and junior games. I get more pleasure from seeing the younger players participate, as they are the future of the game.

Once again, I shall follow the rules relating the word length as introduced by crofter. Each of my chosen link words contains at least four letters and at most eight. Stray outside this range and you will be wasting one or more of your attempts! Each of my selected words may go in front of or after my challenge word. The competition will officially close at 7.00pm on Sunday evening when my selected words will be declared, and points awarded in the usual manner. My third set of words to be linked should appear below at 9.00am.
