[#5541546]

To celebrate a couple of bellends spending [url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-24203949 ]16hours on the tube[/url]. How about we spend some serious time playing a sensible game?

Standard Tudor Court Monday rules with no blocking back until the 5th throw.

Given the spelling, I feel we should head to King's Cross, and then on to the British Library.

Do you mind if I play? I'm a total beginner but I have been an armchair fan for years and would love to have a go.

Flashy, I might move that you be strike-delayed for failing to state that Penge is, in fact, Penge West.

Schoolboy error, that. 😉

I'll respond with a snifter of...

Phew, got away with it, the forfeit for a successful reverse huff north of Archway hardly bears thinking about,

why is this game following the exact same route as the infamous Harbinger Double Scotcher of May 1963?
Is this a glitch in the signalling matrix, or are you boys playing me for a doozer?
I call cheat, and I'm playing my SHUNT card.
That's right, I said it.
SHUNT.

As its the STW massive playing, I'll drop in the signalling problems wild card in, SingleTrack between Theydon Bols and Ealing Broadway. That should put the cat amongst the pigeons.

Bank? Sorry, wrong play. You're in nib until another player crosses the diagonal now.

It's a risky ploy, but I'll take [b]Cockfosters[/b] and pray that the next in line does what they should.

Penge

My wife's from just up the road from Penge. I always though it sound like some sort of disease, as in 'I'm sorry to tell you that you have contracted a serious bout of Penge...'

Flashy, isn't that your second rule breach for misnaming? I do believe that puts [I]you[/I] in [b]Nidd[/b], m'sieur...

It is [b]Nidd[/b], as in the Yorkshire River. A second rule breach is also covered in Stovolds (circa'72).

It may often be, but it's not Nidd now. It's nib. Do try and keep up.
