That's good news--thanks Sarumite.

[Dustybun]

sorry to be an ignoramus but what, where, or who is Herculis - please?

[rogerr]

Hi Dustybun--Have a look here, it should help.
Everyone's welcome to join in.

thank you for that rogerr - sounds far too complicated for the likes of me - I think I'll quietly get on with my tiddlywinks!! :o)

[crofter]

Dustybun - Next week is the start of a new game and you're welcome to join in! The winning score this month was 6 points with a "big hit" (of 4) during Week 3.

By the way, I've adopted your Emoticon - I hope you don't mind! >>> :o)

[rogerr]

Dustybun--it isn't difficult, otherwise I wouldn't be doing it!
You are given 4 words and you have to guess what goes with them eg TOWEL--you guess rail, bath or whatever.
The hard bit is that crofter has to work out the points!
Ahh go on and give it a go!

[Dustybun]

thank you crofter and rogerr - do I have to get up early on a Saturday morning and look for a posting from ?ShamrockBlue ? Sarumite ? crofter ? (see, I'm confused already!) Thanks for the encouragement rogerr.
The Emoticon belongs to everyone crofter and I am delighted to see you using it. My life motto is "A smile is the shortest distance between two people" :o)

[crofter]

You have all weekend to lodge your four words! But it kicks off about 9.30 - it's like Blankety-Blank!

Sarumite will set the site and give the four words to be linked on Saturday morning. Responding early is recommended!

Re the emoticon, I particularly liked the nose!

[Dustybun]

thank you crofter - I shall have a tentative look on Saturday and see what happens!!
Glad you like the nose - I prefer :o) to :-) - before I settled for Dustybun I had thought of Largehooter and Hugeconk, so you can tell, it's a bit of a self-portrait!! :O) (the un-airbrushed version!!)

Using this old link to say:

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring. happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Very Happy New Year to all at the Croft. These last few months have been a pleasure joining with you (and others) in the Answer Bank. We trust that 2007 will be all that you would wish it to be.
