Two airports in a row means the next call has to be determined by consulting a Ouija Board. The entity summoned turned out to be a Roman soldier who very predictably wanted to go to Rickmansworth.

Oh dear. I played that not too many moves ago so that puts you in Nidd.
Having consulted my slide rule and the 1903 rule book - never officially released - I find the only logical move is Amersham.

Consulting the 1928 rule book. No.48.2 states that 3 moves in a row outside the capital is viewed as a crime punishable any upto 3 weeks in the stocks. To avoid this I head to Putney Bridge.

That’s an interesting move. I will counter with a move to Morden

Oh dear. Using Higginbottom's passing encounter is clever. However unfortunately for you I have read Zinoviev's great work as well, so I know that you are trying to suck us into a Northern Line doline. The only effective defence involves a move that many will find upsetting. Chorleywood.

As a stab in the dark I’m going to play the Dagger move and say Bermondsey.

You can't stab in the dark in broad daylight. Let's lighten things up and move to White City.

Do you realise what you have done? The last three calls taken together have sufficient power to break the seals on the vault in which the secret horror that fatally terminated the 1647 outing of the game was buried. I’m going to ground in the bunker under Dollis Hill.

Ha, very clever, going Underground eh? I wouldn't do that personally but Colliers Wood.
If there were any mines left and on the subject of ordnance brings one to Woolwich Arsenal.

Football is depressing today Southgate seem to be the only place I can escape it.

Sorry that's a forward pass - and under the Marquis of Kingsbury Rules it's an automatic 15 minutes in the sin bin.

Having just cremated the toast, I feel inspired to go to Burnt Oak.

That now requires rule 1666 to be played so it’s off to Monument.

Oops, we have accidentally taken a wrong turn while searching for the emergency exit signs and have ended up in Burgess Hill. I have a feeling the way out will be long and arduous...

I would keep quiet. Get your head down and hit Kentish Town.
Hopefully no-one will notice your mistake or you could be publicly flogged.

I think some sense needs to return to this game so I will offer Hainault.

In The Young Man Of Hainault and the Secretary's Pebble (Cooper-Smith, 1997) the first station mentioned that isn't Hainault is Mordor. Sorry, make that Morden.
