MM & KM Links February 2008 [Week 1]
113 Answers
This being the first weekend of the month, we have a new setter for the MM Links game and welcome King Fordward to the throne. He nearly backed out after winning the January game but was finally persuaded to set the links for you. Although his work means that he cannot always be available to post at the specified time, his introduction and chosen words will be posted by myself at the usual time.
King Fordward is also out this evening so is unlikely to visit the shrubbery tonight. However, the shrubbery is open for the rest of you to scheme strategies, ponder possibilities and muse on the mechanisms of the male mind. Strix, ulysses100 and particularly Magyar managed rare glimpses into the mind of Pauline last month, but who will be able to fathom the mind of King Fordward? Will there be any clues in his preamble? Will you be able to spot them if there are? Will a virtual alcoholic haze help you to get on his wavelength? Only time will tell.
As usual, the bonus points will be there for the taking as you nurse your hangovers out of the shrubbery at 9:00 am tomorrow and remember that King Fordward's thread will be opened by gen2 at about 8.45 in the morning. The MM Link Game should then be officially launched when the four words to be linked are posted at 9.00am. Then it is up to yourselves.
The international version of this same game is called KM Links and kicks off at the unearthly hour of about 06.30am! Look out for seekeerz from Oz who provides the entertainment, refreshments and rule of law when dealing with that parallel game. In this case, the choice of words and their links are out of our control. They are the grey words chosen by Kate Mepham in her Crosswords in the Daily Telegraph on Saturday and Monday!
Have Fun.

There should be Miss Meg - Help yourself. There's some drink left to I think, as long as sarumite didn't take it all.
Hi Christiana - I'm of too now. See you all in the morning and please don't make too much noise. I'm going to find a nice quiet corner on the far side of the Shrubbery. I hope it's not going to snow here.

Christiana, Ford Prefect was indeed an inter-stellar hitch-hiker, in The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (and the other four books in Douglas Adams's trilogy) and not a redio researcher from Guildford as he usually claimed.
He took Arthur Dent on a series of adventures and... well, just read the books, listen to the audio books/radio series or even, heaven forfend, watch the film, which features the fantastic song So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish.
