MM Links Game Results Oct Week 4

[gen2]

Another good game.
Have you been waiting 9 months to score? Well, here was your chance.
Were you an oxymoron at school?
Did you take the long view or the short view of your break?
Was your space invaded on your PC?

I can now reveal that Morgan Le Fay's choices were in fact:-

FULL TERM
PUBLIC SCHOOL
LONG WEEKEND
PERSONAL SPACE

(I have never understood why private schools are called public schools in England - hence the oxymoron).

[gen2]

May I first welcome a new player to the game - professorplum13. After a false start last weekend, glad to see you made it this time. No points today - better luck in the future.


Roslyn 2512254 almost immediately claimed her two points for LONG WEEKEND

PERSONAL SPACE was found a minute later by Grannydi and matched within two minutes by Patchett and Manxiemo (2 points each).

Centrino then produced twins with FULL TERM and PUBLIC SCHOOL for 4 points. But let's not be premature, Aquagility dropped his in time for 2 points (for 'full term').

Amongst the later scattering of single point scorers, one stands out with 3 points for being a triple hitter hand so . . .

Many thanks gen2

I'm in shock
I'll be back to normal zero next week :)

[Strix]

As one of the culprits for proposing Dirty Weekend, isn't that the same thing as a long weekend? :-))

[roslyn251254]

A good month for me so far - probably be down to earth with a bump next weekend!
Thanks to gen2 & Morgan Le Fay

[gen2]

Strix, you weren't the first - my wife was.

When I get the proposed link words from the setter, i always try them out on Mrs Gen2. Her first response was 'dirty weekend' but it didn't feature in the setter's proposed list. When I informed 'Morgan le Fay' of this, she said it would be interesting to see how many people went for that choice - hence my comment in the report. I also took it as a hint from Mrs G2 that something along those lines is long overdue, but I told her that I had to be around for the MM Links game every weekend. One must get ones priorities right eh?

[albaqwerty]

Dirty weekend is so passe these days. How about a dirty middle-of-the-week?? :D

[Strix]

Lucky you!

[Strix]

memo: must look up weekend breaks in the Kirkcaldy/Dysart area before going to see daughter at St A's.
Obviously something in the water in those parts.

[paulineward]

Poor Mrs gen2!! Not only does she put up with the Links Setter...she has to do it without any reward! Tut tut...
Watch out if that bad lad (Strix) does end up near you gen2!!! Lock Mrs gen2 up!!!

BTW...I scored nothing! :-((

Thanks Morgan Le Fay and Gen2, although I think that I'm still freefalling very fast!
