is it too late to start at paddington?

Are we using Trumpington’s Variations?

It’s after 4 so yes

Northfields

❓

I was at MC last night – there’s only one lift operating atm so the dual transit rule is in effect.

Pigface: You can’t make semi-lateral moves on a Friday.

Emsz; back out of this one love. Quickly. Trust me. This way, madness lies. 😯

(S’a thing for doddery crusty old blokes, innit? No place for a young lady such as yerself)

Crouch Hill – boo yay!

absolutely love the madness of MC, but haven’t a clue how to play! I tried looking up the rules and they didn’t make much sense either…

CaptJon: well played sir!
dawson: haven’t you read Stovold?

Crouch Hill – boo yay!

Pffft. Amateur. It’s two moves to Broad Green and then you’re totally exposed to the Hammersmith jink.

Dawson that is clearly the Sydenham slide you are trying to play. Very clever but I won’t be fooled again.

graham, with the yalta revision of 1917 you can.

Stovold was revoked after a Munich intervention. A unilateral agreement was reached to apply Henley. As such, Embankment.

Box Hill.

Ok then, this has got a bit sterile, so let’s get things really moving…

Mile End.

Yes, I know! 😀

Pffft. Amateur. It’s two moves to Broad Green and then you’re totally exposed to the Hammersmith jink.

The Hammersmith Jink is a piece of p*** when you were schooled in Rayners Lane.

Where on earth did you get the idea that Hsmith jinx was still operating??? There is a cloverleaf now that switches round the back of Putney Green & lets you out at Kentish Fields. Tis the only way I tell you.

Sorry. I thought you were playing Tudor Court rules.

London Bridge.

London Bridge hey?

But you have to bear in mind Embankment with the Henley variation..

It must be..

St Pauls & walk..

Yes that will do it.

Barbican, western via Moorgate.

Dollis Hill 🙂

Westminster

EDIT: (A rather good use of long play if I say so myself 😉 ).

Can I make a nagelly to Victoria?

Short answer: no.

Long answer: nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Ooh, dunno Graham; only if you’re going by the Hattersley Edict (Alperton Revision), and I’m not sure if you can use that effectively in this situation. 😐

I’m going with Highbury and Islington via Dalston Junction. I feel this could well be a decisive move.. 😉

WTF?

really is this some sort of code?

As I live in Norway and am therefore playing by the Zurich playground arrangement of 1853 an also in agreement with what Barry Cryer once said, “Oslo Central”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mornington_Crescent_(game)

Oslo Central? Well I’m going to stamp on this right away. Marshall’s Folly (Scandinavian Variant) is poor form, old boy. Very poor form.

Theydon Bois.

Dalston Junction?

Depends..3 men on the legside ruling or not? (Calcutta version 1952)..

Graham S it is still British Summer time so Northfields was a legitamate move, not spectacular but a solid start. Play the game and stop being so Rollandish 🙂

Emsz; I warned you, don’t get involved. Nothing good can come of this. 🙁

Theydon Bois.

Ooh, good move.

Depends..3 men on the legside ruling or not? (Calcutta version 1952)..

Can’t be applied in this case. New line, so isn’t affected by that ruling.

King George V. 8)

King George V.

Bravo!

Due to the time difference to here, would Chancery Lane still be permissible?

Blokes
weird, your all weird

Think Chancery Lane is still subject to the Camden Caveat following the busking experiment, I’d suggest an Ox Bow follow through via Covent Garden

Waterloo

Mornington Crescent!

EDIT: Can’t believe nobody spotted the Fothering Meta-Shunt.
