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...

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?...
Can of worms there! Just be glad the DLR wasn't around at the time.
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)
Alperton. Obviously.
Alperton having opened up [b]all[/b] of the diagonals that leaves me clear to Swiss Cottage. Get out of that.
Git. Now I have to go to Clapham.
And I know what the next move will be too, nothing I can do about it.
Easy, its the Wandsworth Interchange via Elephant but not Castle 😈
St Paul's. Bet that wasn't what you were expecting!
Right, I'm putting down one of my Jokers to allow me the rotary hamstring needed to play...
Mile End.
Hmmm, not sure I've got the hang of this, and I'm leaving myself open to ridicule, as usual, but everyone has to start somewhere, so...
Plaistow

Tower Hill. ITHANGYOU!
Not on my watch.
Camberwell with a twist.
Camberwell.

[EDIT} Bugger! Too slow.
I can't go anywhere else until someone makes a lateral move to free up the diagonal off the Bakerloo line.
