MM and KM Links November 2008 [Week 1]

[crofter]

Good Evening AB Linkers, everywhere!

Welcome to this first week in the reign of Tricksy Strix-y, who should appear in person tomorrow! It is true to say that Strix is a relatively recent addition to the Shrubbery family, yet he has been able to capture the playful mood instantly. He has proved to have a sharp wit and a truly unique grasp of language. All the text is ready for tomorrow's launch of MM Links and I am looking forward to an exhilarating month of challenges from him.

Don't forget that this will be a five-week month, so you better make every effort to engage with the shining wit (not a Spoonerism) of Strix. So batten down the hatches and prepare for bloody battle. The posting should open at 8.45am and the four words to be linked should be declared at 9.00am tomorrow, when MM Links kicks off in earnest. Remember, remember ~ that early hits gain bonus points!

Goodnight Kay...

Yes twix . ...I believe you would!

Another 'cracking' Bush Gaffe was...the trouble is the French don't have a word for entrepeneur!

[evsajo]

No Crofter I don't think we ever will!!!!!! It would be too boring not to be silly!!!!!
I really mean it this time, Goodnight all xxx

[paulineward]

Goodnight x-ray....

Hi Crofter....just think...this is the best Kay and I get!!!
We don't want to grow up!!! :-)

Kay...I know what that song means to you...now keep smiling girl..chin up!...I mean it's not every Monday you go for your meal at the Centre!

[Strix]

Sorry to turn up so late, but Strix has been off with Mrs Strix to a Halloween party (is that a hint?) at our son's school and then to dinner with our son's Uncle. So this Owl is a little squiffy as he types this.

And for those of you who are still awake, everything that goes right tomorrow a.m. with the MM links is entirely down to the efforts of crofter.

Night night

and enjoy:

OOOhhh Strix...you have been awol!

Isn't your son's uncle either your brother or your wife's brother?
Any hints whilst under the influence?...

[Strix]

My wife's brother is our son's uncle- the uncle is a rather important Colonel in the Army - but will that help you in your quest....

I wonder....

Good evening and goodnight Strix.

Pauline, Strix's son's 'uncle' could be the local pawn-broker!

[paulineward]

Love it twix!!!! :-))...don't think so somehow though!

Hmmm .....relatively speaking I still reckon I've no chance tomorrow!!!

[twix123]

Well, as you know I have no chance of bonus points due to my late hours, even if I get any lucky guesses.

The following artistes name is similar to the links I usually try to throw in, and describes this part of the weekend

Well twix..
the lyrics were ..' I go out on Friday night...and I come home on Saturday Morning'...
..they were days long ago for me!!!

I now stay home Friday night...and will call it a day now in order to get up on Sarturday Morning!!!

Goodnight..and thanks for the company...hope Strix is kind to us!

[twix123]

Goodnight Pauline, good luck tomorrow and I'm sure that the wise old owl will make it a nice gentle start to the month.
I'll see you all sometime later in the afternoon or evening.
