KM Links - January week 3 results

[seekeerz]

All ready and waiting for the early riser to post this mornings matches, then I can get busy and see if I can add up straight

The house is in a mild state of uproar at the moment with the new addition to the family arriving from Victoria today - 8 week old Curly Coat Retriever puppy - all legs and wriggle - I see fun times ahead !!!

tearinghair I was glad to see that you found your way to the site ok - we seem to get buried very quickly on the weekend.

Morning Steff I think the links are

Stage
Ship
Missing
Plane

So

MISSING - Link
Friend - SHIP
Float - PLANE
STAGE - Link ? Not sure of this one??

Your Xword should have arrived maybe you could double check??

Jools xx

[Strix]

No joy for me
Don't have newspaper but neither Link Stage nor Stage Link are in Chambers.

[JoolsTwo]

Thanks Strix - I wasn't certain and don't have time to drag book out to look. Off to work soon. :-))

[tearinghair]

I was surprised too, Seekerz, but I have my priorities right: got home earlier than expected, straight to the computer to see the links and post answer (not even waiting to read clues properly, which was a mistake!).

Pouring with rain in Warwick, so newspaper delivery will be late.

[seekeerz]

Thanks Jools - I've practically finished puzzle- think we might be looking at Thrust Stage or vice versa - maybe?

Hi Strix would you rattle if I shook you ?? Her name is Holly, by the way and very cute - definitely a water dog, tries swimming in the drinking bowl plus it's been over 40 here today - yuckkkk !!!

[cliffyg]

friend ship
missing link
float plane
thrust stage

[seekeerz]

and what time of the morning do you call this cliffyg- staying up till all hours is doing you no good if I have to work out the puzzle as well !!!

[Strix]

Rattle, moi?
Are you referring to the number of pills I am taking every two - four hours or fragments of bone in my leg.

"Holly" eh? should go well with a prickly Quizminder!! :))

She'll eat you out of house and home if you give her half a chance, and I am not just talking about food but furniture and furnishings as well!!

[seekeerz]

who are you calling prickly, mon ami ??

and I guess the rattling could apply in both cases !!!

I remember when I was in hospital having had Alex and the lass in the next bed had a rather unfortunate surname - Rattley - and Nurse kept referring to 'the Rattley baby' and wondering why I kept having hysterics - hormones and motherhood do strange things to women, but I guess you didn't need to know that at this hour of the morning.

an why were you grumbling earlier - you scored a point this week, so no grizzling !!

[seekeerz]

A rather quiet week this time around - no bonus points flying around en masse, just a steady ticking over of the second-hand reconditioned abacus and no fancy multipliction needed.

cliffyg was first out of the blocks [ so what else is new ??] with Missing Link, closely followed by that seekeerz person with Friend Ship.

Next to go was Thrust Stage taken out by ulysses100 and right behind him was Jools with Float Plane plus an extra one for a good guess'

Quite a few earned themselves two points in the good guess dept, namely lysander, deecee131, devadiva, crofter, Grenmus & Mr O while a further 25 entries all scored a point each.

And that wraps up this weekends scoring - there will be a short break in proceedings while I go and see what the new child has wrecked and prepare the Leader Board so if you'll all bear with me, I shall return.......bye for now.. S

Thanks Steff ... but you just can't get the staff nowadays can you?? :o)

Nothing for me, but what's new!?

Cheers (S) ☺☻☺

[paulineward]

Nor me Sarumite!! :-((...I don't think.

[seekeerz]

The Leader Board

and it's quite a busy one but -

cliffyg is well out in front on 18 points.

on 7 points - lysander & cpfcrosiel

on 6 points - miss meg, Mr O & chriss

on 5 points - grannydi, london_lassy, Jools, Grenmus, Chiefpanda, wickedtongue, Jean G, teacher1, Elspeth, Magyar & jobjockey

I have yet to look at a calendar but I've a feeling this might be a five-week month, whatever, we're going to have to get our skates on if we're going to catch cliffyg before the month is up - so Congratulations all round and good luck to those of us in pursuit [ think we might need it !! ]

Have a good week everyone, see you next weekend S

[Prescott]

Best of luck with your Curly Coat Steff.

They take at least two years to calm down to a point where they are trainable !!
