Mornington Crescent

I have no choice but to play Battersea.

possible infraction

Infraction upheld! Battersea is only proposed, not ready yet! Ha ha!

Waterloo

I think that revokes the Von Boogmeister Treaty (1873 amendment) so to avoid us getting bogged down we'd best go for Canning Town.

Blast it!! In my defence, severely backed into a corner there.

You Sir are a cad and a bounder. I shall expect to see your resignation before the committee before Monday Tiffin.

And I'll see your Canning Town and raise you Stratford

No chance sunshine. (Flouting the code of conduct is not a grounds for dismissal remember.)

Chalk Farm.

This is getting a bit personal fellows!

Chalk Farm? Ok let's go back Waterloo East under the Jubilee Law.

Bank

An obvious move if you study the masters

Just in case somebody is thinking of using the lateral shift, I'm going with Tooting Bec.

edit - apologies for the loop, I forgot that we'd been there yesterday.

I've had this postcard from Mrs Trellis from North Wales who would like to point out that Tooting Bec is offside and represents a vertical shift from Bank.

I am showing Badger a magenta card

Off we go again. Too many infractions so we ought to go religious- St.Paul's.

Double reverse play:

Mile End

Feeling a chill.

Caledonian Road.

Caledonian Road.

Playing the Roxy card to The Strand.

Playing the Roxy card to The Strand.

Always knew that move as the East Street pull-back.

Heathrow Terminal 4

Acton Town - picked that one up from the Swarovski Crystal Bowl semi of 93

Playing the boring option

Leicester square - but it does open up the diagonals

Just because you were building up to employing the Brighton Handicap and my declaration of the Bec blocked you - I doubt anybody would be willing to join you in Knip now you've resorted to such playground intimidation.

Anyway, I defy your magenta card and following on from Leicester Square I declare Tower Hill.

DOUBLE TOWER HILL KLAXON! Was played yesterday and as we haven't been to Swiss Cottage it can't be played again! Infraction please judges!

Ok, let's go to Swiss Cottage next (dirty snorts of laughter)

Tower Hill......

Tower Hill......

We have had our differences, but.... I'm aghast, superb.

My response is West Acton.

Yes, I like that West Acton move; it avoids that tricky White City Parabola that so often occurs at weekends.

Latimer Road

Latimer Road

Thank you sir, but my goodness that cuts things fine. Very bold.

On shaky ground here I think, Swiss Cottage

Gentlemen, you've brought this on yourself.

Goodge Street.

If any of you are wily enough to slide yourself out of this perilous predicament, then may I remind you that not many printed rulesets proffer many moves from here without causing a significant double-feint or the Stojanov reversal (1923, vers xii).

I doff my cap pre-emptively, chaps.

You can't use Goodge Street. Canada Water was played earlier, so Finklesteins revision has been invoked. Play by the rules pal, let's keep it fair.

....and now that crabber has so spectacularly shot himself in the foot, I'm slipping across the diagonal to Tottenham Court Road.

You lot are a bunch of amateurs, its so obvious its not true. I'll play a double loopback with a side slant from there (permissible under the Knight and Sloane Amendment of 1875) and leave you all with a cheeky East Ham!

East Ham. Hmm. Almost impossible to leave without being in Nidd, however I'm going to chance my arm with a trundle to Mill Hill East

Damnit. Cannot quite take total advantage. So close but so far.

Marylebone.

I hope you don't think I chug with reckless abandon, sirs. I'm all for playing with vigour and in the spirit of fair play.

And with that in mind, I'd like to Rock down to Warwick Avenue

Well if you insist. I'll spring the offside trap and venture upon Wembley Central

Well if you insist. I'll spring the offside trap and venture upon Wembley Central

Due to the Winehouse convention of 2011 the only possible move after Warwick Avenue is Camden Town really. However, I can see why you avoided it so:

Clapham South

I'll think I'll pop my head back above the parapet, and direct a well aimed Southwark into the mix.

I didn't think Southwark same back into play until after a London Bridge power play?

Or am I thinking of the 1947 East Cheam rules which abandoned after the Great Schism of 1963?

Anyway, Canada Water

Surrey Quays.

Yes I did. Oh yes.

Scoundrel!!! I doff my cap.

Heathrow Terminals 1,2 and 3.

You didn't see that coming.......

Possibly because it might be an illegal move.......

Or at least I think it is......

No I think Col is ok with that at the moment but had played it on the 2nd Monday of the month it would have been against the Jupiter Convention Of Fair Play and we would have had him.

So, let's take a quick jump to Hammersmith to quell this issue and take up the Tiverton repeal of no additional Piccadilly unless a northern diagonal is played before 12.30.

Always wanted to play this move!

Turkey Street.

The Tudor reforms allow it. Following on from Hammersmith it was the best way.

Couldn't you ask for an umpire's review and get HawkEye to ajudicate on whether Turkey Street is allowed??

Think it may have been sliding down legside myself but will probably survive on umpires call, the sly little bugger. However clever he thinks he is though, that move has left me wide open to play a well aimed Bank.

Humbugged by God!

Hmmm. I shall present a googly and see in you in Mile End

I'm going to play Moorgate under the quintet convention rule.

For those new to the game that means no loops or doubles to follow and no stations which contain links (however tenuous) to Moors or Gates on pain of a jolly good telling off.

Forgot my groceries, I'm at Borough now!

(Yes I know London Bridge is a bit closer bla bla)

Ah, the missing carrot ploy, in that case I shall throw in an edge play and go to Euston
