I've just had this letter from a Mrs Trellis of North Wales.

"Dear Mr Flintoff

i have noticed your whites are rather grubby and there are marks where you rub your balls.

Before putting your whites in the washing machine, circle any stains in permanent pen, so that when you remove them from the washing machine you can easily locate the area of the stains and check that the stains have gone.

Yours sincerely

Mrs Trellis"

Canary Wharf

Foul! you played "Canary Wharf" on 25 June 2012, at 22:49:36, that must count as a double hit you are penalised to shots and loss of hole!  :wave:

Ah, yes, but, you see, that was the opening move of game 1. We are currently on game 3. The rules are very strange and nebulous, but i think we can be sure that the stations can be recycled after the start of a new game.

I have therefore to adjudicate that Canary Wharf is a legitimate move and Minzapint must take a forfeit of two fingers of Whisky.  Thus making the game more difficult and confusing, but hopefully also a lot more fun. Am currently enjoying a couple of fingers myself.... 16 year old Lagavulin. Fine stuff.

Yes, but Old Lagavulin is a bit of the map, but at least it eas aged in OAKWOOD

Oh now, it was fast and furious yesterday. Some bold moves and some stout defense. Thrilling stuff. Today has resumed at a much more sedate and considered pace.  Very possibly due to closures (part and planned) on Circle, District,Hammersmith and City, Metropolitan, Northern, Waterloo and City, and Overground.  It doesn't leave many moves safe at this time.

It puts me in mind of Boris Spasky when faced with a late Dollis Hill move in the Grandmasters MC Challenge in Moscow in 1978. Nigel Short had just played Bank in a rash move that could so easily have paid off.  Spasky took a record two days and 14 hours over his next move to Knightsbridge. Kasparov was bouncing up and down in his seat like a two year old seeing the cross-town Northern Split open up, but he was pipped to it by Deep Blue calling MC and bringing to an end one of the most lengthy, star-studded and interminably dull games of MC ever played.

Back here to the fast paced game of some seasoned amateurs.

Holland Park.

I think I will try one of those new S7 trains on the H & C to Latimer Road my old stomping ground.

You mean there ARE rules? Methinks nebulous does not do it justice :smiley-laughing:

Mustermark

Off-side!  Hangar Lane was the 30th move of this game I believe.

You need to take a forfeit and I believe you are in spoon!

Take another turn.
