[Closed] Mornington Cresent anyone?

Angel

It's not really as funny without Tim Brooke Taylor is it?

Bank (if pressed to move)

Billy...is that your go??

Dagenham heathways- using Stovold's defense (2nd revision) reversal rules- cheeky but sulrey ok?

[i]"Dag Heath is only to be used once, apon the opening. Like toilet paper."[/i] - Sir F.Drake 1568

Stovoid's was banned under the Rushton ruling of '79.
Let's keep this amongst ourselves, eh?

But, if you insist, Watford Hospital.
Not built yet obviously, but you will play dangerously.

Back to [b]Embankment[/b].

Applying the inverse square principle, Baker St.

well that rules out a quick Waterloo 😥

[quote=therealhoops said]well that rules out a quick Waterloo

Double up and apply Walsh's 3rd variation ? Think that gets you there.

Dont like the modern game myself, Give me a shout if you plan a tudor court rules in the near future (plague permitting)....

Isn't Walsh's 3rd variation open to being quashed when Baker Street is the station of origin?

Where were we, Baker Street?
In that case Hatton Cross, Kings Cross, Charing Cross! Ha!

allthepies - that would mean skirting Wimbledon and it's too cold outside

Nelson's

Don't be daft, you've triple crossed yourself - illegal under the 2nd revision.
Now take all your clothes off and stand in the corner.

Baker St - Ickenham.

Get out of that and stay fashionable.

Don't be daft, you've triple crossed yourself - illegal under the 2nd revision.

I'm more used to playing Morningside Crescent in Edinburgh, still struggling a bit with the London rules.

Pretty much the same, but you never look your opponents in the eye and pretend to read your paper if a fight breaks out.

Shock and awe time!

[b]Limehouse[/b].

does the crossrail addendum apply yet? if so, canary wharf.

edit: you can't get to limehouse until a speke's elbow has been played.

Victoria

Hannover connvention 1911 ruling on the triple underpass with bells.

right back atcha! 🙂

Ah but Limehouse was ruled exempt from Speke's after a contentious 2009 challenge!

I didn't like 2009. Too many changes brought in by the radicals. Like 20:20 cricket

And I hope that we're not allowing DLR anyway - things went downhill after that ruling. I still reckon there was something underhand about it all - big money I reckon.

Northfields (purple)

Ooh, MC, can I join in from a branch line please?

I'll take an inverse shunt from Northfields to Elephant & Castle. Diagonals are now wild (as you all know).

I'm more used to playing Morningside Crescent in Edinburgh, still struggling a bit with the London rules.

I believe the Edinburgh Defence is still valid here, though.

this game is very contentious.

Are you new here?

Just going to sneak in with Hatch End to open this back up a bit

and get it back on track.

waterloo.

Bounds Green.

Cockfosters.

[b]Goodge[/b] Street

EDIT: via Belsize and Swiss

Bugger. I wanted to go to Goodge Street!
.
Not much of a choice now really, I pretty much have to go to Kilburn.
Yes, I know technically I could have Picadilly, but that would be a bit of a daft move.
.
Kilburn

Bristol Parkway.

Got you!
Oxford Street. 😆

Oxford Street? Allowed, but not a winning move.... it's after 3.30.

A double sideways blag to Tooting Beck should confuse a few though.

I see what you did there.

Chancery Lane.

Hmm, that restricts me a bit.

Tottenham Court Road.

*polite ripple of applause*

Barnes South Side.

(& I think youll notice Ive avoided the water taxi jam that is Putney Marsh, clever if i do say so myself...)

Not really, remember Alex is in Tottenham and Cougar on Chancery Lane, you would have struggled to get to Putney even if you had wanted to!

Dollis Hill, don't laugh. I'll be stuck at Kilburn else.

Turnham Green. The hard way.

Oh yeah......Oh yeah! Deal with that, suckahs! 🙂

Err... aren't you in Nib Flashy?

No, he's in Knipp. Easy mistake to make.

Knipp? Yes. However, as it's a month with an R in it, I'm in open play.

Hmm. OK then. As mentioned above, I'm still getting used to London rules, none of this R-nonsensein the Edinburgh game!
.
Anyway, going for pink, Hammersmith.

PUTNEY BRIIIIIIIDGE!

.
Not bad for a beginner!
.
Shall we play again? I enjoyed that.
I'll start us off at Kensington, should make for a nice open game, and of course double points for Olympia at present 🙂

OK, now that the big boys have joined us.....

[b]Knightsbridge[/b]

smell the fear

EDIT: boolarks, too slow

Nice try hoops, but you'll have to be quicker than that!

I'm too exhausted. Start a new one tomorrow Andrew.

Just 'cause I'm winning!

Can we play Mortimer's Variation version 3 next time? Much tougher game IMO.

The Shard via the closed but can be used if yer quick (& the ticket inspector doesn't see you) cut & cover left over from the old Borough Market bypass cloverleaf...

Red line, via the Vertical Approach.

[b]Lancaster Gate.[/b]

Freestyle!!

Pffft. Amateurs.

Aldgate.

East.

Damn you...

So are we using Mortimer then?
If so I can have Arnos Grove 😀 Bet you wish you hadn't suggested it now Alex!

Damn you...

[img] [/img]

Latimer Road, on the pink 'un.

Latimer Road?!

In this weather?!

With their history of shoddy maintenance & questionable "work to rule" attitude?!

Youre a braver man than I CFH..

(Dofs cap..)

Ill have to go to White City Junction...its a desperate move I know....

Latimer Road, we'll be playing Mortimers then.

[b]Goodge Street[/b].......again

Is Green Park wild if we are using Mortimer's 3rd? If so I'll have Stockwell, but if not I'll only be able to get as far as Victoria.

I'm calling up the Goldacre powerplay giving Elephant and Castle.

That would be a yes then if you've gone to E&C.
.
Cannon Street.

Bank.

Mile End

Bow

Hmmm, Im not sure you can use Bank the last Wednesday of the month, remember 1921 & how that ended?...

That is unless youve got the right token...& Ive heard they are extremely rare, if not impossible to get hold of!

remember 1921 & how that ended?...

Ahhh, MC, cracking stuff. Unfortunately for you guys I've been reading Winning Mornington Crescent Manoeuvres by the Right Hon. Staunton Licks.

Elstree South!

Tooting Bec

Tie me kangaroo down sport, tie me kangaroo down

Earls Court.

I see Cuckforders defense (1931) about to be played

Barons Court

If a young Bobby Fischer played MC then he would go for:-

[b]Harrow-on-the-Hill[/b]

Euston.

Altogether now: "mind the gap!"

Bobby Fischer should stick to chess

Gunnersbury

[quote=spawnofyorkshire said]Bobby Fischer should stick to chess

If only that were possible....

sorry: Bobby Fischer should have stuck to chess (RIP)
