If it was a dream then there would be rum Another POTC reference for you!

 

[Mvann]

You are without doubt the worst pirate i have ever heard of!

But you have heard of me!

To carry on the drink theme - Cutty Sark

 

[OxtedL]

...Lewisham...

(You all stand no chance against me!!!)

 

[Mvann]

Cannon street

 

[Buttsy]

Has to be Chalk Farm now surely?

Well, if Dr Beeching's interpretation of the six-inch rule applies in this situation, I think that Osterley Park is not out of the question.

(Bet I had you all thinking I'd say Edgware Road!)

With the game you've been playing, that move didn't surprise me at all. Edgware Road would still have been a good move, but Osterley is very cunning. Personally I would have moved tactically to a Jubilee Line station.

By calling a zone 4 there, you have blown Westminster right open.

Yes that's right everyone, Westminster. I bid you good luck ...

 

[Eagle]

Ah, but you don't know that there's a quick way out of Westminster that was only recently discovered by Thomas Cruise (no relation), or so I read in the latest Crescent Monthly.

This theory relies on the discombobulation of the Copenhagen interpretation of the sidewinder repechage system, with a couple of fiddly bits involving Huntington-Blohm strategy. I won't bore you with the details, but from Westminster I go to...

...Westminster. Leaving a three jump-clearance for rapid development. Ha.

 

[Mojo]

Baker Street

 

[Mintona]

Dastardly move Mojo.

I would like to get involved, and my first move will be a reverse double-split to Plaistow.

 

[OxtedL]

That was foolish, my friend, because now I can play...

...MORNINGTON CRESCENT...

muah-ha-ha-ha-cough-splutter-ha-ha-ha etc.

 

[Eagle]

Not quite. Due to an inverse Schafernaker that you failed to notice, you are in fact compelled to return once again to Dollis Hill. Minimum sentence 6 months.

New game, and the K is flashing, which can only mean Kenton.

ahhhhhhhhhhhh a fellow Schaffernaker aficionado! Well played my good man

 

[ralphchadkirk]

Ivo's been remarkably quiet in this thread - have we scared him off?

 

[OxtedL]

Aarrrgh.... foiled in my attempts....

Kensal Green, then.

Ivo has next-to-no internet at the moment. Otherwise I'm sure he would be wow-ing us with his insane skills.

 

[Eagle]

Ivo has next-to-no internet at the moment.

Ah. I thought he was just stuck behind a contrapositional sidestep infringement ban at Amersham. It happens to the best of us.

Oh, and Amersham.

 

[ralphchadkirk]

Aha! You've played a remote station on the Met with an M in it, so I can make a reverse Green (as seen in the 1983 championship) and call a station with an M in it - Mornington Crescent!

Errr.... Mornington Crescent, mate... [look up ]

 

[Mvann]

Wasn't there when I posted.

 

[ralphchadkirk]

Wasn't there when I posted.

Err... the Crescent was posted at 2111; you posted at 2116

Anyway, shall we have another game or adjourn to tomorrow?

 

[dzug2]

Not the BLE... In that case it's time to invoke a collateral and shift to Earl's Court, putting dzug2 in Nidd until page 25

Well I'm out of Nidd but can someone tell me where I am??

 

[DarloRich]

Dzug2 - you may start a new game if you wish as you have been in Nidd for so long!

 

[Mvann]

Well I'm out of Nidd but can someone tell me where I am??

Somewhere near harrogate?

 

[dzug2]

Well I'll start with Pudding Mill Lane and hope I'm watertight

 

[OxtedL]

Well I'll start with Pudding Mill Lane and hope I'm watertight

That's pretty impermeable - at least until Crossrail picks up steam!

From there straight to Lewisham, methinks...

 

[Anon Mouse]

may I play Wapping?

 

[OxtedL]

Does anyone happen to know what rock type Wapping is built on? I can't remember. Bit of a b****** actually, pretty important...

I think it's close enough to chalk to count. You'll have to check the Geological Appendices, though...
