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.

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.
Covent Garden, wearing a cravat.
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.

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.
