MM and KM Links March 2010 [Week 2]

[gen2]

Hi again Shrubbery gang and hopeful Linkers.

This is a wekend for celebration because 'Strix the Bibliophile', 'Strix the Silviculturist' and 'Strix the Horticulturist' will assume yet another persona to present his final selection of links from the Wolery. Will he set a devious selection or will he turn over a new leaf and be kind and gentle to you all?

This time it will be the climax to a challenging month that will determine both the League winner for March, and the setter for next month's links. Actually, getting a new link setter is the hardest part of this job and setting the links is nowhere near as difficult as some players seem to think, so if it turns out to be YOU, then there is no need to decline it since ample guidance will be available from Crofter (or myself). It just requires an hour or so of your time each week.

Some of you will no doubt celebrate for other reasons because after Sunday it will be 'Out with the Owl, and in with the New'. Or as Bob Dylan once said, "The Times They are a Changin' " ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKm65xLpwIM ).

Current leader jan1956 is closely pursued by miss meg, seekeerz, Grenmus, x-ray and wickedtongue. Who will it be? Will one of the chasing pack have a lucky strike? Who will it be? as Bob Dylan once said, the answer is "Blowin' in the Wind" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWvh4S3YWVo ).

and Cadbury's won't be the same now that it's owned by Kraft. Bournville isn't far from here and the local news has been full of it (the takeover, not the chocolate).

[paulineward]

Yes tearinghair...it's a disgrace! We are losing everything....don't set me off!!

[Strix]

Pauline, " prefer the dark stuff" - you do surprise me!

Your alter ego "Daft Ada - from the Dark Side"....
Now, at last, begin I do: "You underestimate the power of the Dark Side"
"Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny."
Beware, tearinghair, the words of Pauline, "Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the Dark Side."
Stick to the Milky Way, the Galaxy, the Mars bar for Pauline's Krafts are Flakey and Crunchie and could lead you into the mouth of a Lion Bar which could be a bit of a Marathon.

[Dustybun]

Yeh! Lucifer was an angel!!!!!! :0)

[Dustybun]

'Scuse me Pauline, Jan et al! There are two blokes wearing white coats at the shrubbery gates and they have a picture of an owl . . . . .

[paulineward]

Hi Dustybun...

Have you been eating too much chocolate Stwix?...

[paulineward]

Let them in Dustybun....quickly! It'll be a hoot!

[tearinghair]

See yourself as a real Smartie, do you, Strix? I'm shaking like a jelly-baby waiting for tomorrow morning's offering. In the immortal - and slightly misquoted - words of Frank Muir (cue for song) 'Strix is just a Fruit and Nut case....'

[Strix]

Hoots mon too to you lot - just found this bit of film of Pauline (they tell me they needed no "voice changing" techniques to disguise who it was singing - this is her normal coo-coo "come here darling Reg" voice).

[paulineward]

Have had a message from evsajo...she can access the site but can't post anything....yet!

[Strix]

Does Kay know about our explosive plans for redecorating the Doll's shoebox, Pauline?

I will leave you in charge as I have to be good parent - as school holidays have, for us, started today.

See you on the KM and/or later on the last of my MM links contributions.

Night night.

[evsajo]

But I can now !!!!!!

[evsajo]

what's this about re decoration ???

[paulineward]

Hi Kay....ignore Strix...I have said nothing about re-decorating your house! :-))
Was that a clue to the links Strix? Families...parenting?

[gen2]

Welcome back Kay, better late than never.
