The KM Links Game - September week 1

[seekeerz]

Good morning all, from a very wet south oz - well at least we haven't got the thunderstorm that was rolling around all of yesterday, I wouldn't be here with you if there was !! but at the moment it's tissing it down, as someone on this site taught me !!

Four words today - and the least said the better !! If anyone has a problem with 51d I'd be happy to hear about it - I'm not happy but I can't figure out what else it's meant to be. I also have an awful habit of half-reading the clue, putting in what I think it might be and then as with today, having to go find something else - namely the correct answer !!

Today's words [ I think }

CAST
GEAR
BASIC
UNION [??]

Quite a few possibilities there, just picking the right ones may take a bit of doing, however, as usual, everyone's welcome to join in, the contest runs till midnight Sunday and I'll post the results asap Monday morning. And just remember, no long words over on MM, but no worries with them on KM.

So Good Luck to us all with the start of a new month.... ready, steady.....GO !!!!
