Have just read that the music played for Jack Duckworth's last moments tonight is Matt Monro singing 'Softly as I leave you', my favourite song of all time. Worth watching the programme for that...

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...
Good morning all -- this is Sheila again (aka slaney) for my second reign as the MM Links setter. I’m so surprised to find myself here; foolishly I had thought I was immune as the memories of my...
Good morning everyone - November already !!! what happened to the past year ??? I saw an advert yesterday, saying 52 days to Christmas - that scared the socks off me !!! Oh well - this will take our...
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...
Evening all, I've read and enjoyed the Agetha Raisin and Hamish McBeth books. Has anyone read any other books by Ms Beaton or under her other name Marion Chesney? If so were they of similar humour to...

Do you think it's time to stop changing the time twice a year just to please the Scottish farmers. After all if they don't like it they should get a job indoors or move South (not Wiltshire though)...
Afternoon all. Not sure whether I should have put this in Technology or even Science, but I'll try here first. I'm planning to try wearing a magnetic braclet to see if it helps arthritis in my wrist...
Oh my goodness - what is that Chinese proverb - be careful what you wish for ??? Well, it arrived, in spades, this morning !!! What I thought was going to be another of Kate's 'tricky' weeks turned...
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 apologise if I seem, unintentionally, to have been rather mean last week for using words that did not easily give you all points. This week I will endeavour to redress the balance (maybe!). So let...
Good morning everyone - Here with another weekend of fun and frivolity !! and this month is fairly tearing past. And once again, I think Kate is trying us out [maybe she's in contact with Strix !!...
