Mm Links Results May 2014 Week 3
7 Answers
This week's MM Links game has closed.
I can now reveal that 'King Cliffyg' was looking for the following links:-
WALL FLOWER
SHOW BOAT / BOAT SHOW
ROYAL JELLY
ROSE BOWL
At this point I would usually be asking you to see below for the details.
Unfortunately, we have unexpected visitors so the full report will be delayed at least a further half hour. Please check back later.

Three of the links were quickly guessed within the first two minutes of play.
SHOWBOAT would appear to be a favourite of Owllady - 2 points
Amongst other things, the ROSE BOWL is an outdoor athletic stadium in Pasadena, California. The stadium is the home field of the football team from UCLA and the site of the annual college football bowl game, the Rose Bowl, held on New Year's Day. That is probably wy it was chosen by Rockfordill for his 2 points.
I hope it wasn't sad memories of her College Hop that made Tearinghair opt for WALL FLOWER. At least now it has earned her 2 points.
The final link lasted until half past 11 when Cupid04 swore by the curative powers of ROYAL JELLY for his 2 points.
A few singles were picked up from time to time but there was eventually (mid-afternoon) a double-hitter. She therefore becomes my 'Hotshot' for this week.
***** HOTSHOT FOR *****
***** THIS WEEK IS *****
**** * B O X T O P S * *****
*** CONGRATULATIONS ***
This week's point=scorers were:
2 boxtops
2 cupid04
2 owllady
2 rockfordill
2 tearinghair
1 Aquagility
1 baza
1 Brenden
1 Elspeth
1 Handbaglady
1 roopower
Which when added to the leaderbord gives ud:
6 tearinghair
4 beejay1124
4 rockfordill
3 baza
3 Elspeth
3 kettledrum
3 middlestump
11 on 2 points
10 on 1 point
That now makes two low-scoring weeks in a row and too many of you still have a blank SPACE against your name on the abacus. I will therefore be giving 'King Cliffyg' a ROCKET in an attempt to BOOST the scores into a HIGHER ORBIT. Will it work? Come back next weekend to find out.
Thanks everyone for your comments on the past, present and future of this game. There have been many on these threads and others by private email. I will wait to see what happens this month before deciding on the setter for June prior to me bowing out at the end of that month.
Until next week then:
Same time (9am)
Same place (Q&P)
Happy Linking
