Mornington Crescent

Wow, what a move or not a move or maybe to be move . . .

Using the St Pauli's exclusion principle, which states that no two stations in a single move can have the same four interchanges,

Marble Arch

is the safer bet, as it has no interchanges

[Malc]

Based on the Yorkshire rules, adopting the Cryer gambit, I declare...

Turnham Green,

which it does and put you in Nidd....

[Pengi]

Ouch - that hurt!

[PLD]

Well if you're going to get nasty, I'll invoke the web-foot limitation clause and nominate London Bridge.

That means you cant cross the river for the next two moves which should leave you up the proverbial creek...

sadistic!!!


I better  go  and  Clapham.....

Common  as  they  are...

That's another mainline station wildcard used up! We've go to be careful now

[Mustermark]

Staying south of the river for this move too...

And hoping that New Cross Gate doesn't creek!

[PLD]

I'll lend you some oil for the hinges, before we escape north of the ditch to do the same at Notting Hill Gate...

(Bonus points for film titles in the next 2 moves...)

Gotcha!  Gotcha! Gotcha!  New Cross Gate is no longer part of the Tube network so by the invocation of the Brooke-Taylor Protocols, I declare that  Mustermark and PLD cannot rejoin the game until after the Olympics.

Not so, If you go back read the original invitation to join the game (it's taped to the back of a filing cabinet in the basement of 55 Broadway) you'll find we are playing to the 2005 Livingstone Expanded geographic limits, therefore anywhere you can get to with an Oyster Card is valid provided it doesn't involve reversing a bendy-bus...

So we are still loitering at Notting Hill Gate...

N spiration.....

if  I apply   ohms  law.....

I can go  straight to...

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

It was my belief that New Cross Gate was now part of the Overground system, and as such fair game, so to speak.

The East London Line closed on 22 December 2007 and reopened on 27 April 2010 as part of the new London Overground system. The service was also closed between 1995 and 1998 due to repair work on the tunnel under the River Thames.

The Brooke-Taylor protocols would be very harsh under the circumstances, and the ban unttil after the Olympics doubly so as no one even mentioned Stratford East.

Doubly harsh on PLD too as it was my faux pas, he merely offered to oil the gate!  I shall however take a forfeit and a ban on playing the game until after i have had a cup of tea.

Furthermore, I would argue that the 2005 Livingstone expanded geographic limits is not actually required here, though of course i am more than happy to have that in play.

The game is getting intense, and i should warn you when i get back after my tea i will be taking no prisoners... I am having English Breakfast with TWO teabags and THREE sugars!

I've recently received a stack of letters from a Mrs Trellis of North Wales

Here's one as an example

"Dear Panda,

Charles Beauchamp-Mumblethrop, being the Chair of the South Crotchly Ways and Means committee, wishes to make it clear that he knows nothing about something being 'taped to the back of a filing cabinet'. An analysis of eighteen years of Council debates has shown that this fine upstanding gentleman never once used that phrase in the context implied.

Yours sincerely

Mrs Trellis (North Wales)

P.S. I will, of course, pay for the postage and packing if you were to send me what is taped to the filing cabinet"
