I am playing the rules of my old Salopian (dec) colleague WR
Embankment

^Down Street puts you in Nidd (Salop 1579, Para 3 (revised)). Wait your turn.

Re: Salopian Old Boys rules. May I remind you that they are under review.

Chalk Farm.

Bit of a let-down at the end there.

Hmm, I think the only way to get out of this is to use the Slovenian move.

As a late starting player I should be able to bypass Poplar and Blackwall when moving between West India Quay and East India which should put me on Great Portland Street in one go?

**Fuzzy Bob** · 22-04-2009, 08:55 PM

^ You could do but you'll be in nid

DLR? A violation of the Stringhetti rule or an interesting new twist on the Nevsky Prospekt Gambit? I'll follow Hemmelman's 1938 response to Jardine's South Harrow ploy in an attempt to escape the Zone 5 wasteland and head back to Piccadilly and Victoria Line Zone 1 civilization at Green Park.

**happynz** · 23-04-2009, 12:25 AM

Ah, I see. In that case I shall offer Bond Street in which a lie-in at Claridge's would be enforced.

**DrB0b** · 23-04-2009, 12:36 AM

A quick nod to Churchill and Roosevelt and on to Oxford Circus, which, along with Piccadilly Circus, was for many years my home station. I'd strongly recommend a Manhattan at Milk and Honey at this point.

**happynz** · 23-04-2009, 12:42 AM

A bit of too much civilisation, eh old boy? North I say! North to the Elephant and Castle Tube Station. Tally-ho.

**DrB0b** · 23-04-2009, 12:59 AM

Thank Grud for the Manhattan. On to Brixton and High John the Conqueror Oil in the voodoo shop next to the blowtorched monkey emporium in the market and a tenner bag of skunk at the bus stop opposite MacDonalds.

**happynz** · 23-04-2009, 01:33 AM

Ummm...OK.

In 1979 UK Punk band, X-Ray Spex, released a charting single, 'Warrior in Woolworths' with these lines: 'Youths meet at Stockwell tube, Weapons rule their lives.'

Feeling a bit Bolshie, so on to Stockwell.

My my, at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself

Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo

My my, I tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo

So how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo - Couldn't be safe if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you

Those Manhattens are really kicking in now, eh?

Having fun last night, gents? A fair bit travelled I see and an interesting game so far

Thank God for edit. I nearly duplicated a move. 1 missed go for me.

Euston

**beano** · 23-04-2009, 07:34 AM

I'll have to call DrBob, the rules governing Hemmelman's 1938 response clearly state it cannot be used on lines passing under a green zone.
As the self appointed adjudicator in this matter I reward myself moving en passant to Green Park.
