Question Author
Roslyn251254 was finally back on form and although the second player, was first to match any of the links and knocked off TWO of them: FIRE WORK and WALKING STICK. Grannydi was in time for a bonus on 'Fire Work'.
New player Tilly2 (Welcome) then claimed two points for FAIR PLAY
The final link was also discovered before the clock left 9:02 when the 7th player, seekeerz, suggested it was PARTY TIME.
Amongst the single points that were thereafter claimed, there were three double-hitters. Two of them were pixie373 and boxtops. A special mention should be made for the third one, Mrs O. Living in Canada means that by the time Onty wakes up, the bonus points are all long gone - well done.
Nevertheless, I have chosen the highest scorer to be Hotshot.

Well done Grannydi. I hope you can accept this repeat honour.
[I must now go and apply the final tweaks to my latest 'HOT POT QUIZ #7' which will be launched at the end of the month.
It is the usual 100 challenging cryptic clues on a theme that will be revealed in a few days time. Watch out for further details. Only £1 for loads of fun to keep you occupied for months on end. Where else can you get such cheap pleasure? Certainly not in any district with any colour of light that I know of.
Go on - You know you want it (but you'll have to wait).]
Thanks once again to Princess Psybbo for her contributions throughout October and we look forward to a fresh challenge from Grannydi next Saturday.
So until then,
Same time (9am)
Same place (Q&P)
Happy Linking
