Right, I’ve finally got a signal & I’ve worked out how to leave Penge.....that’s the good news....
The bad news is I’m now at Mornington.....ha ha had you all there....
I’m still in Penge....
Not to muck you all about, but can i just point out that the lift at Covent Garden isn't working. The third one.
That shouldn't affect anyone right now. Unless we're in Spoon. Which we aren't... yet.
@mrlebowski You've a couple of options that I can see. Hint: look closely at the Circle Line...
Anyway, where were we? Oh yes, Brent Cross. Here's a radical idea, Heathrow T4.
Has anyone had Seven Sisters?
Cockfosters, earlier.
The Caledonia Sleeper was delayed. Therefore I'll take the mandatory stop in the 1st class lounge at Euston. To try and make up lost ground I'll go for Euston.
Square. Ha! Keeping it old school.
I've just rolled a 13 which allows me to bring the Coriolis token into play, enabling a clockwise move around the Circle Line. Blackfriars, Embankment - skipping Temple, for obvious reasons - then a quadruple lateral to leave me at Goodge Street.
Attempted to make a third meaningful move to Westminster but the replacement bus service ran into an obstruction at Speakers Corner.
Currently stuck in an endless loop of the Brussels Metro.
Unless I'm missing something, you're making this look like very hard work. Still, in for a penny...
Mudchute
Now that it’s a week day Penge is now reconnected to the outside World..
Though it does mean I need to take the Eurostar from here.....don’t ask how or why but that’s the only option. I think @cougar due to the frozen Chalfonts at the w/e the circle line commuter spur is down. So....
East Cheam Railway Cuttings it is then..
The upside is it’s not Penge, the bad side it’s East Cheam..
A delayed service from South Wales and a replacement bus service from Reading has led to me alighting at Victoria instead of Paddington. This has severley restricted my opportunity to implement the Zenner-Norrington Paradox so I think my only viable option is a 3-Square Clockwise Twizzle* that will land me safely at Lancaster Gate.
*Tudor Court Rules
Think I must have made a mistake somewhere in my understanding of the rules as the only move I appear to be able to make lands me at Uxbridge Road but, as i'm sure we're all aware, that would only be possible if playing under the Munich Anglo-German Declaration variant and besides, it was bombed in the war...
I'm going up the Arsenal
Think I must have made a mistake somewhere in my understanding of the rules
No, I think you just missed WillH's post, he's at Goodge Street at the moment so the whole of the District line is open to you. Admittedly it is a choice of bad moves and worse moves but at least you can move.
Has anyone had Seven Sisters?
Sven, apparently.
Monument. In my pants.
up the Arsenal
Monument. In my pants.
I see someone is trying derail the game and change to Carry On up the Sidings...
Is there a Doctor in the house?
Oil Drum Lane....via Acton....I know, but needs must when the devil takes a p1ss in your teapot..
By God it's nice to be back North of the river.....never go south of the river after dark they say.....they are so right....(by the way who just are "they"???)
Bringing it North and all the way west, Amersham (although I really think that Crewe would be a better option if we were playing by the Adonis convention)
Mechanicaldope - you possibly missed that we're playing Stovold's revisions, not the original. So therefore all the stations on the "Road to Mandalay" are only offside if you've previously been through Elephant and Castle.
HTH.
(I’m a bit rusty 😳)
Aren't we all occasionally?
If the Lionel Blue stipulation applies I'll go Goodge Street.
Golders Green.
obstruction at Speakers Corner
Seeing as PP sneakily activated the speaker, I'll drop the Bercow blind-side, enact Erskine May 1604, and jump straight to Westminster.
Waiting for that, might I play
Willesden Junction?
Yes you can.
Wood Green
Wood Green?
That's a daring move. Roll snake eyes and you'll find yourself firmly in Nidd, you mad fool.
Euston.
That seems like foolish gameplay. Surely from Euston it's Mornington Crescent?
Verney Junction.
Get out of that and stay fashionable.
Abbey Road with a double...
Hahhahahahahaha.......!!!!!!

Too late now.
Sorry for the delay. I wanted some adjudication on CFH's Pimlico counter.
Turns out, it's fine but there are frozen points at T.Beck....AGAIN.
Replacement bus to Embankment.
naturally then, I was defeated, you won the war.
Waterloo.
Right, Kant in his major work tried to describe the relationship between reason and human experience. Watto Spigot in his seminal exploratory work of '62 (Where Do We Go From Here) tried to use this relationship to describe the large "Bus Lane" shifts that he made popular...
Thusly...Paddington, using a band 5 bus lane jump...I think Hainult is the obvious choice. Making use of the Central line northern loop extension rules of '88 which uses Stovold's architecture you get to
Hampstead Heath. which I think with the off peak rules places it in "adrift" for the next 3 double moves.
Since therealhoops took a week to make his decision, won’t his season ticket have expired?
NTW - I have a standing order in place. Sorry, I should have made that apparent.
Wimbledon Common
Oof...banjaxed.
Let me think about that...for a year.
I'm invoking "Leonard's Proforma" to continue and hopefully *finish the game (*subject to NTW move due in April '20).
Brent Park
I'll bring this close to home, I believe as is allowed in the Original Modern Ruleset, however do please correct me if wrong.
I'll make a move to Highgate, please Geoff.
Finchley Road
All Saints
Ha! all saints? At this time of day? What planet are you on?
Emirates Air Lines to Royal Docks - check me out!
😁
walk of shame to East Putney
Mornington Crescent! ....... is hopefully making an appearance when ISIHAC returns next Monday
Yellow card Houns - false proclamation & therefore offside. I’m sorry but that’s nid for you....
Currently trying to teach my dog to play the trumpet.
I've gone from Barking to Tooting in just under four hours.
