While the lovely Samantha goes to "fetch" an independent adjudicator for us, I will tentatively make a snap decision...

I can't see that end move being allowed if we were still playing Mortimer's
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Okay now we've all calmed down can you take us through the logic of your move please?

Using the 1985 Johnnie Walker ruling from the Mortimer variation of May 1985 I executed a GCS shunt thrust which applies when passing Bow Church.

With no sign of Samantha returning (it seems she is taking her time and enjoying herself with the independent adjudicators), I think we will have to deem some moves void here to enable us to move on. 
So I will flip the triple switch and go Holborn.

From a DLR station? You must be mad! You have forgotten clause iv) of this year's Johnson rules!
I'm going to have to say that by my judgement ye shall be punished, but shall leave that to someone else, and go for a clause 13 sub-move to Emerson Road. I hope you see my train of thought...!

We'd better send off Sven in search of Samantha... 
See you in a couple of weeks in that case.

Yeah! If RyanB's was allowed play was still going as we hadn't come to a decision, I'm still happy to share the £100,000 prize with him though.

As it seems the last game has ended in controversy, I'll start a new game. Using Albright's second opening - Totteridge & Whetstone

The scandalous rumours relating to David Cameron's wife could wind up in Aldgate.

You might have to go to Chancery Lane for some legal counsel if it does!

Using the 1897 Mortimer's Variation section 5, clause 18, paragraph 6, I move us to Camden Town.

I'll use Mortimore's 1987 ruling and double shunt below the diagonal and go Heathrow Terminal 4

well played that man! A test book application of the 87/double shunt.
I will go for a short hop to Turnham Green

Normally you squeeze 'em very tightly to Turnham Green. That would violate the rules established by the Marquess of Qu .....

Watford Juction - using the special zone ruling of 2005
I wish i knew what was going on here! it just seems like lucky-dipping for stations to me
The rules to Mornington Crescent should be online somewhere.
Unfortunately the official site, whilst normally well maintained, seems to be down at the moment. I'm sure there's a mirror site somewhere but I can't find it at the moment. Anyone got the address?

The rules to Mornington Crescent can also be found in the first BBC CD recording of I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue.

First double with a lateral today and we'll go Pinner.
On a side note, I still haven't had my £100,000 prize. I wouldn't mind, only I've already spent a good amount of it on a trip to see Mrs Trellis in Rhyl. Aren't caravans expensive nowadays!!
