Herculis Link Words 3 Dec.

[Aquagility]

No antipodean curtain-twitching so far, so here goes:

Ankle SOCK
Arrow ROOT
RIFLE Grenade
POLAR Bear

Bit of a boring puzzle today. And no points for me!

[sarumite]

Good morning all ... I've just received an e-mail from seekerz (Steff), that she is unable to access AB at the moment .. must be a few gremlins at work between here and Oz!

Results of this weeks game will obviously be delayed until she returns. And although I've not scored a point again, it really isn't one of my cunning plans to block the rest of you!

Cheers (S)

[Aquagility]

Thanks, sarumite. I was starting to get worried that maybe she had defected to beta without telling me!

Maybe Kate has problems too - todays Herculis does not have her footprint on it. What do you think? Aq.

[sarumite]

Hi Aqua .. knowing you were probably about, I had an extra hour under the covers this morning! I've not yet looked at Herculis. (S)

[Strix]

I've had the same problem this morning as Seekeerz. I have only now at 10.52 been able to access AB.
And a first for me is that I actually managed ONE of the link words.
Think I shall sneak off at lunchtime, in a state of shock, to the pub to celebrate!

[gen2]

Thanks for posting the links Aqua.

I seem to have struck lucky with two hits, but I don't think I posted early enough to pick up any bonus points.

I shall look back later to see if Steff has managed to get on to this site with the scores.

[dwil]

Agree with Aqua. It's not Kate's usual level.

[Prescott]

A Big Fat Zero for me too !

Thanks Aqua. I won't get Herculis until tomorrow so am not able to pass comment on the content.

[seekeerz]

OK lets see if this works, didn't last time I tried

[Strix]

Out of idle curiosity - have you gone with IDOL or ICON for 27d?

[seekeerz]

I can relate very well to that song - I don't like Mondays!!!!!
and I think it might be contagious - I think sarumite now has the problem - my first email to him was around 5.30am

Right, before any more disasters -

Bonus points all went in the first few minutes with slaney picking up Arrow Root, then joto with Polar Bear, freebi2managed two strikes with Ankle Sock and also Polar Bear and Strixrounded out the matches with Rifle Grenade.

Scoring was very much in dribs and drabs with patchett, wickedtongue, bridgenut, Jim, Dizzy Lizzie, & gen2, all scoring 2 points and a further 19 entries all scoring 1 point.

At this point freebi2 is in the lead with 4 points.

Congratulations to all our scorers and good luck for the coming weeks - lets just hope service is not too disrupted in future - now I've got my fingers crossed for this to post -
if not, you may hear the screams from here - cheers S

I've put ICON, but now have doubts about it

[seekeerz]

eerrrr, was that aimed at me, Strix ?? I haven't got my copy yet- actually, I'm not sure when Jools heads for Canada

[jan1956]

think IDOL is correct
Quick definitions (idol)
noun: a material effigy that is worshipped as a god

I also managed only 1 point will try harder next week
thanks all

I put Icon, but I prefer Idol. Just another 'katie'.
