MM and KM Links August 2009 [Week 2]

[crofter]

Good Evening AB Linkers, everywhere!

Welcome to this second week in the reign of Pope Adrian, who was most penitent for the paucity of points bestowed last week to the faithful. Offline he has pledged due care and attention to distributing more of his bounty near and far during this second week of August! Thus far, I am delighted with our new setter, who is not only sharp on the IT front but also does not overwork my (t)rusty abacus.

In any event, this contest will be fought over five weeks and the first week is quite often low scoring. I expect those from the Shrubbery Squad to do much better than last week, when the MM Posting should open tomorrow at 8.45am and the four words to be linked should be declared at 9.00am.

We should not forget the international version of this same game, which is called KM Links and kicks off at an earlier hour, but in this version time is NOT a relevant factor. This game has for several years now been organised all the way from Oz by our very own seekeerz aka Steff ~ the Hostess with the Mostest! You are invited to chance your arm at both Link Games?" They remain open for most of the weekend and all entries are scored and entered on to master scoreboards.

Tonight it's Quiz Night at the local Cricket Club, where I expect many members will still be at nearby Headingley ~ praying for a historic Test Victory over the dreaded Aussies (present company accepted)!

Whatever your pleasure, until we meet up tomorrow, may I wish you "Happy Linking"!

:o)

It can't be the mysteries of the Rosary tearinghair ...there are 5!! ...See I did pay attention at school!

[paulineward]

I am looking for your hidden webcam Strix!!!

[tearinghair]

Four horsemen of the Apocalypse?

[paulineward]

Now you're getting clever tearinghair!!!

[paulineward]

Father. son, holy, spirit?

[paulineward]

Talking of Holy Spirit...

As you all know by now...I went to a Convent School...and was always in trouble for questioning things...'arguing' the Nuns called it!
I was sent out of class...again one day...and our headmistress came along...and asked what I had done this time . I told her...and she smiled at me...rubbed my head and whispered...Pauline ..I see you have Spirit...

She put the fear of God into me for weeks as I thought the Holy Ghost was following me to make me behave...I was only 11!

[Strix]

Didn't work, did it Pauline? !!

[twix123]

Pauline...was it the Holy Spirit or the 40% proof spirit?;-)))

[paulineward]

No Strix...it didn't!!! :-))) ...and I am glad!

[paulineward]

Well I was only 11 then...so maybe it was perhaps a 5% beer then?!!! Mind you...I do remember my friend and I drinking Stones ginger wine!

[Strix]

Sorry, but I have to leave you for tonight. We have had, here, a very difficult and emotional day here and it will be equally difficult tomorrow but, additionally very complicated logistically so night-night and don't drink too much or stay up too late - you need your "beauty" (!!) sleep.......

[paulineward]

Goodnight Strix...sorry to hear that. I do hope you are all okay. Will be thinking of you.

[paulineward]

Now then...who is still lurking in the shrubbery?

[twix123]

Goodnight Strix....hope it all works out OK.

[paulineward]

Hi twix...anything to talk about? :-))

[twix123]

Pauline...certainly not the links, my lips are sealed!

[paulineward]

Drat!!! Nobody will hear... We are alone!

[twix123]

If I post an entry in the morning I'll probably get them all wrong!
