If it was the intention of King Ulysses II to staunch the flow of points, then I found little evidence to support this fiendish plan. Turning his attention to the theme of “A Sporting...
At this point in time (dare I say) it looks like the “Great Thaw” is upon us. The surrounding meadows have patches of green showing through the melting snow. I feel like Aslan after the...
Never in the history of MM Links has a ruler been more generous than King Ulysses II in bestowing on his people a vast plethora of points. Recalling his bouts of ill-health when just starting school,...
I must begin by confessing to yet another slip up in my marking last week. Having printed off SIX pages of predictions, the second page dropped out of sequence and was overlooked. Fortunately, it...
This fourth week in the reign of Lady Slaney II found her ladyship in a somewhat reflective mood and final theme was based on The Barren ~ A Stony Place. This led to a set of links which were far from...
Since last week, the weather in Yorkshire has taken a dramatic turn ~ although the Croft is sufficiently far south (and inland) to have escaped the heavy falls of snow. I am presently indulging in a...
Once again, I have been asked by the Chairman of the Clayton-le-Woods RNLI Committee to help distribute copies of their latest Quiz to raise funds in support of the RNLI. The Quiz consists of 60...
This third week in the reign of Lady Slaney II found her ladyship in a somewhat chilly mood. This was not only in her choice of theme [The Frozen Continent] for which her links were: South PACIFIC...
I am pushed for time this evening, so I’ll keep it brief. The Lady Slaney is poised to launch her third week of MM Links tomorrow at 08.45am and her four words to be linked should be posted at...
This second week in the reign of Lady Slaney II found her ladyship adopting a fairly aggressive attitude. With a more familiar theme of “Molly Malone”, Slaney finally chose the following...
Last week marked the beginning of the second reign of Lady Slaney II and several entrants benefitted from a healthy harvest of points, so much so that Slaney may attempt to stem the haemorrhage with a...
This first week in the reign of Lady Slaney II attracted a healthy field of nearly 50 entrants, all trying to outwit “She who has twice outwitted Strix”. With an adopted French theme (and...
Welcome to a new month and a new game of MM Links. I am delighted to say that slaney has picked up the gauntlet and will be the Links setter for the month of November. There are immediately three...
For his final week, Strix maintained a more or less gentle standard for his last set of link words, namely: Oil SLICK GREASE Paint FIELD Fare STAIR Well Scoring proved quite brisk ~ particularly...
This will be the final week of our Triple Crown MM Links Champion (Strix) with no fewer than 14 weekly challenges under his belt in relatively short time. Whenever he has been asked to step into the...
For this, his penultimate week, Strix held to his promise to an extent by relaxing on the obscurity of some of his link words. Judge for yourself as I now disclose his links for Week 4 as follows:...
I have had yet another week to catch up with the manic mental meanderings of Strix and it’s like pushing treacle up hill! This man is truly “YOU-NEEK”! Fortunately, he prepares all...
We are now into Week 3 (of a 5-week month) when the elusive Strix once again proved evasive. Only SIX entrants managed to hunt down the regal setter, as he plumped for the following links: Pan ACHE...
We are now well into October and I must thank those who remembered my 66th birthday (I try to forget the annual event ~ what’s in a number?). The week in Tenerife was just what the doctor...
We are now into October and it has rained here on and off all day. The Croft is a hive of activity as the final items are being packed for a week’s break on Tenerife, where we hope to catch the...
