MM and KM Links March 2010 [Week 1]

[gen2]

As you see, this is not Crofter opening up the shrubbery - it is his deputy dogsbody instead.

The last few days have been hectic. First fordward declined the crown and then Crofter found he was going to have to leave the croft (and the internet) for the next few weekends. It was Wednesday afternoon that the news landed in my inbox and I had to find a setter PDQ - not just any setter but one who could come up with the goods at short notice. That meant a previous winner, and what more worthy a candidate than the top scorer for March, our great friend Strix. Thank you Strix for agreeing to step in at short notice.

We can therefore expect “Strix the Saviour” to post his first MM Links tomorrow morning; starting at 08.45am and declaring the four words to be linked at 09.00am, when the MM Links game kicks off in earnest. Remember, in the MM Links Game, first hits (or repeated hits within 2 minutes) gain bonus points!

She's just whetting our appetites (and knives?), Strix.

My pleasure Strix!...I feel I am duty bound to take care of the shrubbery folk! BTW...I sent for your book on Amazon...not got round to it yet...but it looks very funny.

I was speaking to Sarumite tonight...he is out on the town with some mates...but hopefully will pop in next week. I asked him to fetch his magic mushrooms...I will make a soup for us all. :-))) We will then be in a much better frame of mind to guess Strix's Links!

Double, double, toil and.....now, how does it go?? Off to bed to get in some beauty sleep before the starting pistol tomorrow.

[Strix]

Missed some of the earlier links.
Sorry to hear that your laptop has had to go in for repairs.
Do let us know when Reg is better!

[paulineward]

Hmmm...did know that quote...just slipped my mind!

goodnight tearinghair...I shan't be too long myself. I am still taking the pills and so have to climb the wooden stairs early!

Good luck tomorrow.

[paulineward]

I said laptop Strix...not lapdog! :-))

[paulineward]

Right...off to my pit...the pills are taking effect...and the lapdog needs putting out! :-))
See you all tomorrow.
Hopefully I should have my laptop back by next week and will not have an anxious 21 year old waiting for me to retire while she comes to life and nicks computer seat!

No doubt everyone has gone to bed, but I am going to a school re union tomorrow night too Strix !!! Not my school,but my late husbands. I went with him for the last one because he was so poorly and so for the last two since he died I have been invited. Wonder if it's where Strix will be ?????
