KM Links Game - June Week 1.

[Aquagility]

Is there anybody there?
In case Steff is still struggling with the air waves, I'll stick my neck out with what is a far-from-obvious set of links.

HILL fairy (or fairy HILL)
LOUNGE lizard
Blind SHRIMP
ROMAN figure.

I can hear your screams from here, should any of you disagree!

[seekeerz]

Hi AQ you're up and about early - I've just logged on to do my bit and here you are already !! I agree, they're not the most obvious - what's a blind shrimp ?? I'd go for Roman Blind, but then where does that leave us ?? Needless to say, no points for me in that little lot !!

OK will go and see how the rest of us got on and be back later S

[seekeerz]

Oh dear, I hate to be the fly in the proverbial but....

Lounge Lizard ok, that's a given
Fairy Shrimp
Roman Blind

I just can't work out the last one - at risk of your wrath, could it be anything but 'figure'

I'm so glad I'm so far away !! xxx

[seekeerz]

me again and by now I can hear the gnashing of teeth -
Hill Figure - the white horses, or similar

I know, from now on I can play in my own sandpit

[seekeerz]

Please come back and talk to me - I'ze awfully sowwy

[Aquagility]

Steff, I think that may well have been what Kate had in mind. I'm very happy to go along with that - maybe one of the cognoscente will confirm before you start counting the (not very many) correct scores.

[seekeerz]

Oh you dear old thing, you are talking to me and I agree completely - hopefully one of the really bright sparx will come along and confirm or just blow us both out of the water !! We'll wait and see.......

[london_lassy]

Is she thinking of Tommy Hilfiger?

[barterboy]

lounge lizard and fairy shrimp have to go together therefore roman blind and hill figure must be the other two....

[seekeerz]

morning, london_lassy - luckily the point is moot, nobody had Hill Figure, Tommy Hilfiger or even a Fairy Hill for that matter

are you ok with the other three 'combinations' ie

Lounge Lizard
Fairy Shrimp
Roman Blind

I've gone through and scored and while not overwhelming apart from Lounge Lizard, there were takers for the other two......anyone else have any thoughts ??

[JoolsTwo]

I think maybe this is what she was thinking of........

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_figure

[Strix]

Hill figure is not given in my Chambers or Collins dictionary
BUT
is given online in Wikipedia
NOW you know where KM is constructing the crossword from!

Go figure

[sarumite]

G'morning all ... am I pleased that I'm late on parade today!! Bet you wish your computer was still AWOL Steff!!?

I reckon the links are :

LOUNGE LIZARD
HILL FIGURE
FAIRY SHRIMP
ROMAN BLIND

Have fun (S) ☺

[seekeerz]

Ok I think I'll post the results I have -

london_lassy was in first with Lounge Lizard, entrant #20 Christiana found the Fairy Shrimp and a couple of entries later cpfcrosiel gambled with the Roman Blind and both also picked up an extra point with Lounge Lizard as a 'good guess'

Magyar scored two points for 'good guesses' and a further 22 entries each collected one point

So after the first week the Leader Board looks like this -

# 3 points - Christiana & cpfcrosiel

# 2 points - london_lassy & Magyar

Congratulations to all the points scorers and better luck to the rest of us next week ............ciao for now S

[cpfcrosie]

whoopee, top of the class today! this makes a welcome change to my usual nul points!

[BigMac]

Another whole point! Must buy a lottery ticket.

Congratulations to those hitting the leader board and can we tell kate to take more water with it?
