    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?

    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 ???????

    I don’t know.

    I shall consult my most recent rulebook (variant of ’94).

    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.

    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.

    Nice Move,

    Bank to Waterloo (direct, Waterloo & City)

    (NB: Can we stop messing about with stupid rules and just play the game properly please, I can’t keep up)

    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.

    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….

    Post-flood rules.

    PimpmasterJazz

    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.

    Trelawny Exception

    with or without the big cat clause? We wouldnt want a repeat of the Nirobi finals of ’84.

    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.

    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.

    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.
