It was Mrs Trellis who texted me to tell me to go to see my friend Stan more.

Problem is he lives with his Seven Sisters...

I'm going back on the game now.

That's one way to get the funds for the 'Bittern'

I was getting so fed up with texts from her like this "Ddap Pdmdw" etc that I told her I'd got a new mobile number and gave her your number instead!

Yes she said something about what I thought was "losing an appendage" but I see what she meant now.

One has to try to decipher her texts like a code.  e.g. for a letter j, you have to assume it could be j, k or l, and that a could be a, b or c, and so on.  Thus a crossword solver app on my iPhone is invaluable.

Please, please, please do not give her my address.  I cannot manage sack loads like you do.

Stanmore eh? According to Professor Harry Beck, without whom this game would not be possible, it is impossible to move from Stanmore to Carpenders Park as the lines are parallel. However his theory was trumped by a commuter who made the journey. Searching for an explanation, Beck then argued that in non-Euclidean space the parallel postulate does not apply and he thus came up with the amazing conclusion that London Underground was in hyperbollock space.

I believe that Professor Sir Harry Beck OBE, MBE, OMG refused to accept that buses actually ran on fixed routes and could travel freely not only in Euclidean space, but also the wrong way up a one-way street.  The lack of rails making them exempt from the Laws of London Transport.

Buses aside, the theory put forward by Professors Hawking and Penrose in 1987 suggests that with long range quantum uncertainty, a tube train may pass through Stanmore and Carpender's Park simultaneously.  The only problem with this theory being that it is indeed, as you suggest, hyperbollix.

And the trouble that always puts me off visiting Stan is that Uncle Bruce gets on my

Hackney Wick

And go and see your friend Rich Mond.

If one passes through Stanmore then I hope for everyone's sake that a large wormhole also opens up and swallows the buffer stop and the solid concrete wall behind it...  Now if it had been Edgware then a hop  into a parallel universe would have given you:

Some commuters say that all tube trains pass into black holes

At that rate, I'd probably be in a position to buy a Bittern by 2090. All this recent stuff on TV about bullet trains has meant that Bittern has slipped back down the pecking order behind the new fast worms. Would still like one in FGW dynamic lines livery.

I could really do with another Eurostar on my layout and I know you have one. If you send it to me by express mail, I will ensure that Mrs Trellis does not get my copy of your address

Come on, Pendy. You should know by now that blackmail is verboten on the NGF. Just because the fruitbat known as Mrs Trellis has obtained your address by perfidious means, this does not allow the browbeating of a fellow member in order to obtain said Eurostar. Please desist with immediate effect.

(Weasel-like holier-than-thou butter-wouldn't-melt-in my-mouth city banker girl voice)

You misunderstand sir  , I'm not trying to blackmail the gentleman or try any sharp practice - that sort of thing just doesn't go on in the City. Just offering insurance against being spammed by fruitbats from North Wales.

P.S. have you had a visit from the Inland Revenue recently?

Sounds like a bargain to me!

In celebration of animals on the Underground!

the next move is to

Caledonian Road

Rotherhithe the Flamingo!

Flamingo is also the name of the Gentleman's club in Rotherhithe from which Lord Winthrop-Peplum was ejected last week.  Apparently he did not understand the do not touch signs.  He was also once arrested for ignoring the do not walk on the grass signs at King's College, Cambridge.  Apparently he never was good with following simple instructions.

In that case peckham rye. See if anyone gets the reason between them and if you cant your a plonker rodders.
