im with you on this one WTF?
Ludgate Circus?
Good move. Didn't see that one coming, was too busy worrying about Low tide.

C'est Bon?
Pinner. Via the quiet culvert of course.
Bah, flip's got it.
You ever played professionally flip?
There's an international pro-am grand slam in North Wales on Feb 29th at the Clwb Snwkr in Mold.
I'll put in a word with Mrs Trellis if you fancy it?
Ooops, dp.
Anyone for a game of Top Gear songbook?
Am I out of nidd yet? 🙄
Well done flip. I was watching the replay last night and it was reminiscent of Paul Gascoigne's pro-celebrity title defense of '92.
I really didn't see that coming, especially given this is an even year.
Very well played sir!
Can you win on a misspelling / pun?
I didn't think you could?? I'm not sure Flip "has got it"
Rules to this game are harder to master than the 'Laws' of Rugby 😉
??????? confused ???????
Can you win on a misspelling / pun?
I don't know.
I shall consult my most recent rulebook (variant of '94).
Yes you can. Nice one flip
Sorry to be the voice of reason - but no, you can't...
Rules were tightened in the wake of the Austro-Hungarian Incident of June 1914 when an argument over the misspelling of 'Crescent' - easy enough when English isn't your first language - escalated rapidly. To avoid future disputes, amendment 82 stipulated correct spelling, no ifs or buts.
Think I'm still in nidd. [i]*wonders if he'll ever get out*[/i]
Continental?

I think due to the spelling error, it means that all those in nidd are granted pardon.
This applies irrespective of it the error was a winning move or not.
Curse those Austro-Hungarians and their lack of correct spelling.
Still, means I can go ahead with my planned move.

Glad to see this is still going. Notwithstanding the Austro-Hungarian incident of 1914, I think you'll find that the Tudor Variations automatically discounted the utilisation of incorrectly spelled station names. Henry the 8th was very particular about that sort of thing. That being the case, and given his frankly provocative usage of the French language, I think Flip can consider himself lucky to retain his head.
Anyway, I'll throw my pedantic penn'orth in with Hampton Court, by boat, with a Swan in tow.
BANK!
Nice Move,
Bank to Waterloo (direct, Waterloo & City)
[i](NB: Can we stop messing about with stupid rules and just play the game properly please, I can't keep up)[/i]
Totally agree.
One step back to EmBANKment.
Pimlico.
Wish I'd got that in earlier, could have run away with it.
Ooh, sneaky!!
Right, assuming I can apply for a contraflow without a TTRO, Ickenham!!
I could go to the Tower of London to see if this thread comes with a crown race - but the Baader-Meinhoff clause remains in play unless I'm mistaken?
logically therefore, I'll go with Isle of Dogs
As it's barely rained in London all week, Post-Flood rules do NOT apply. You can use either the Pre-Flood rules of 1954 or the Heatwave Articles (1976 v2.3.3)
There is an exception which may apply:
The maintenance guy for the Thames Barrier has lost his screwdriver and gone on the sick with the stress, so the Post-Flood rules will be enforced from next Tuesday at 11:58am...
In the meantime, walking from Bank to Liverpool St is permitted. From Tuesday, only wading, swimming and aquarobics allowed, inflatable armbands excluded
Warren Street. On a jetski.
Warren Street. On a jetski.
Is that a Polish/Russian rule or applying to all nationalities?
The the reliable and good value plumbers, builders and agricultural workers addendum of '01 only allows the use of a Jetski when traveling between airports. The oligarchs referndum of '08 allows for a private Jetski from city. The use of a Jetski on the Thames is allowed only if using the Hudson River rules.
Ahem....
[b][i][u]Post-[/u][/i][/b]flood rules.
This is all getting very confusing.
So, do the Pre-Flood rules of 1954 or the Heatwave Articles (1976 v2.3.3) counter the otherwise oft-used Trelawny Exception?
This could prove a hinderance, as I expected the Jubilee line to be functioning normally.
with or without the big cat clause? We wouldnt want a repeat of the Nirobi finals of '84.Trelawny Exception
If one of your back legs is webbed go via Piccadilly to Morden, duck back one and alight at South Wimbledon. If you have an association or an article in the Times be careful, you may have infringed sub- section 56.9. You have been warned.
I've just received my 2015 Station Almanac (leather bound).
Dawlish High Tide is 21:08 tonight.
Just thought I'd mention it.
We wouldnt want a repeat of the Nirobi finals of '84.
Good point, well made.
Since Flashy has bagged Bank I'll be bungee-jumping from Canons Park to Hendon Central wearing brogues.
Bet you didn't see that coming.
Bet you didn't see that coming.
Very unsporting to make a wager based on an implimentation of the Divination rules of 2036?
Chancing it.
Looping round to Chancery Lane, thus avoiding the otherwise devious pifall laid down by footflaps.
Brogues indeed.
Cannon Street.
Come on, come on. Quickly now.
Chalfont,but not Latimer.
Cannon Street to Monument!!!!
Yes Flashy that's 1 stop from your last move to a previous move of your's Monument & Bank are the same station!!
You sir are in Nidd 😀 Boom!
[i]Edit: Too slow, Flashy saved by[/i] [b]anonymouse[/b][i], with frankly a stupid move[/i]
Chalfont,but not Latimer.
Goes without saying. A Gentleman would never use Latimer in a game of MC.
Round the houses.
Harrow.
St John's Wood. And I invoke the aptly-named, but rarely-used these days - General Wade (fourth in line after the 1928 uprising). Unklehomer .. ?
All the sixes, Wimbledon Park
Chalfont,but not Latimer.
Goes without saying. A Gentleman would never use Latimer in a game of MC.
And that's your mistake. Gentlemanly conduct has no place in Mornington Crescent when properly played. The only reason I avoided Latimer with my last move was so that I can play it now and thereby shunt you out to Zone 6.
Take that, Sir.
and Party
Anyone know the forecast for the Isle of Dogs later in the week? Just planning ahead, you know with DLR weekend schedules and all.
Edit: preferably for Millwall Outer Dock, not Inner. You'd be a fool to want Inner, especially with the Shard where it is nowadays.
Rain I believe.
I would say that Mudchute would be your station of choice here, if I hadn't just alighted there.
[b]Bristol Temple Meads[/b]
go on...
...take it in
Since it's a Monday and the sun is shining, Tooting Bec in a wheelchair.
Erm......
Mornington Crescent.
[b][i][u]ADJUDICATION![/u][/i][/b]
Tooting being a communist borough I don't think anyone there would get a taxi, only public transport. Therefore as all taxi journeys go via Mornington Crescent, Pook cannot have been in a taxi, or therefore at Mornington Crecent.
Invalid.
I was on a bike. That should have been academic.
The taxi was Addison Lee, you were knocked off your bike.
Get well soon.
😆
In that case I shall continue with a deft counter-clockwise manoeuvre (with a hop, skip and a jump to get past Liverpool Street) to Leyton, also catching Flashy unawares and placing him in Nidd.
Check.
Just been mentioned on BBC, the GB ladies curling team are following this thread with interest:
Apparantly Eve never thought a minority sport like this could be so interesting and tactical.
Bristol Temple Meads
Ooof!
Chalfont - sans latimer - is zone 8. So the zonal subfunction allows me to jump to Hainault - via Newbury park
Deft.
Using this lull in activity to my advantage, I'll take the long leap to Chalk Farm (avoiding Gospel Oak).
in which case I shall alight at Pimlico wearing brown shoes, jacket and jeans (as I know how much CFH likes that look in town).
In which case I shall conduct a doppleganger defensive manouver and also alight at Pimlico wearing brown shoes, jacket and jeans (as I know how much CFH likes that look in town). Thus confusing Flashy and prolonging his stay in Nidd.
In [i]which[/i] case I shall invoke the wrath of the 1897 Pencil Sharpener Armistice and change out of my brown shoes, jacket and jeans while on the platform at Sloane Square, in the full knowledge I may scare the locals.
in the full knowledge I may scare the locals.
In Sloane Square? I doubt you can scare anyone there, they've seen it all!
Anyway, Knight to Kings 4 via Bethnal Green
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
If you're gonna play the game learn the rules as you lot are mostly spouting made up bullocks.
The games was over ages ago.
The games was over ages ago.
Really? Who won?
Sorry, I've just realized a mahoosive typo. I should have put [b]'65 main rules[/b].
Pook won it 3 days ago.
Pook won it 3 days ago.
and very unsporting it was too....
Since the A1 is blocked south of Junction 7 and it's a Wednesday, High Barnet carrying a copy of the FT dyed blue.
🙄
Amateurs.
Anyway, I've just been on the bummel with Samantha, quick spin to Hurstwood.
She loves it up the berms.
Sadly, she punctured both tyres on one run, but we sorted it out;
She whipped them off with ther bare hands and I was pumping away in in no time at all.
It [u] was not[/u] unsporting. How very dare you. I clearly deployed the Cousteau Inflection as is stated at the very top of all post-flood rule books.
It was elementary.
Bragging about it won't make any difference....
I'm not convinced.
I believe there's a breach of the 1972 Wales/Andorra Barry Island Peace Treaty.
Tenuous, but it's definitely arguable.
In the meantime, clockwise to Walford East.
It's an outrage.
It's an outrage.
Walford East isn't that bad?
It has history. But that shouldn't detract from the fact it's a 10 pointer station.
I'm going to take my life in my hands with the Bidston to Wrexham line jumping off at Buckley, utilising there is a method to my madness clause famously popularised by I'm gambling it all yet again Mad Henry Loser-Harris.
