The first week in any reign can be problematical in terms of a paucity of points and this first week of Sir Strix the Stargazer was no exception. As I bring Round One of the competition to a close, I...
Good Evening AB Linkers, everywhere! Welcome to this first week in the reign of Tricksy Strix-y, who should appear in person tomorrow! It is true to say that Strix is a relatively recent addition to...
I must warn you that points once again dried up for this fourth and final week and I conclude that getting points from King Ulysses the Valiant is just like pulling teeth! Not surprising he finished...
Good morning everyone and welcome to the fourth and final week of pitting your wits against King Ulysses the Valiant. For a while there, I thought that there were going to be so few points scored in...
Red Wine 1 - 0 Crofter! I have it on good authority that during this, his last week King Ulysses the Valiant will be "tip-toeing through the tulips" somewhere in Norfolk ~ setting off very early...
Signal Boxes by Ploy This is my first attempt at a Listener Crossword and I am two clues off filling the grid (before looking for the thematic words)! 29d One has trouble coming up with parts of hip...
I have just returned from a weekend on the Yorkshire coast (north of Hornsea) and so I am running VERY late. I'll have to work piecemeal and you'll all have to be patient! However I can announce that...
With a little luck King Ulysses the Valiant will be responsible for his OWN launch tomorrow morning and I can have some time off. Just as well as I am due to go downtown to be measured up for a...
9a Without oxygen, operation could promote poison (8) I have *T*O*I*E which must be ATROPINE, but what precisely is the wordplay? 13a Accommodation for little pigs (4) I have *H*E and SHOE fits ~ but...
I spite of all attempts to reverse the trend, this second week in the reign of King Ulysses the Valiant was virtually a repeat of the first week in terms of meagre points scored. Perhaps you will see...
Good Morning ABers and welcome to the second week of King Ulysses the Valiant setting the link words. My house move last week went smoothly. Now, it's just the decorating, the unpacking, the...
I have eventually been able to make contact with King Ulysses the Valiant after his house move last weekend. As things stand, it looks like that I, crofter, will (once again) need to deputise for him,...
This first week in the reign of King Ulysses the Valiant was hardly a movable feast (in terms of points scored). More a famine than a feast and you will see why as I reveal the chosen links based on...
Good Morning and Welcome to another month of pitting your wits to predict MM Link Words. I have been dubbed by crofter as King Ulysses the Valiant and he has agreed to launch this posting on my...
Winter draws on (or winter drawers on)? Last week, my attempt to be provocative certainly worked. You all went "Cuckoo". I even had a phone call from a cuckoo with a Manchurian accent! Anyway, Mrs...
This final week in the reign of King Wickedtongue continued to provide a healthy number of bonus points for the early birds with the last link going to a shrewd late-comer. Following a theme of...
Yet another month has sped by on life's roller coaster. Tomorrow I will have finished removing the Artex from the ceiling and can start the process of renovation beginning with papering the ceiling ~...
This third week in the reign of King Wickedtongue went back to a healthy rate of scoring with plenty of bonus points for being first (or within two minutes of a first successful prediction). Following...
I can't stop long ~ I'm running late! All this week I have been spending time doing DIY in the Spare Room trying to remove the Artex from the ceiling! I've just showered and with one eye on the clock...
This second week in the reign of King Wickedtongue went perfectly, although it did not bring in the bonus points in the huge numbers that I was expecting. My apologies for misleading the Shrubbery...
