Surely it's the day for Mornington Crescent

[Tricky Dicky]

I'll see your Dolis Hill and raise you to Heron Quays.

[Brovion]

Well I've heard this used (by Barry Cryer I think it was). I think it's an illegal move myself but here we go anyway .....

Isle of Wight ferry.


EDIT - Perhaps possible because of Tricky's "Heron's Quay"?

 

[Artois]

We not playing the Dollis Hill loop then?

Although yesterday WAS a Thursday so we must be playing the short rules.

Hold on. Which rules are you playing?

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Spitalfields

I know, frankly there's too many rules and any game of Mornington Crescent usually involves a row as somebody invokes some little-known rule. (I'm well aware that I've just been guilty of this myself.)

Listening to R4 I sometimes think they just make them up as they go along.

I've been banned from using wildcards after infringing North Acton with Elephant & Castle twice. So... I'll play safe for now, and go for Boston Manor.

 

[Josky]

Crafty, but I'll invoke the Hottingson gambit and say...

East Finchley

See what I mean? How can North Acton be infringed unles the Central Line had been flanged by a Charing Cross - East Ham truddle? I despair sometimes.

 

[Artois]

For goodness sake lads, why can't we just have a simple fun game without someone trying an OBVIOUS illegal move.


To set up back on the correct track, I'll say Hanger Lane, albeit I'm using the overlap method.


Unfortunately, I reckon that makes MC in 5 moves for someone...

That, sir, is an absolutely ridiculous suggestion. You should be ashamed of yourself.

 

[DTES]

Victoria.

Well, that stops the imminent victory. Using the Friday Midday subrule (clause 4b), I'll take us all the way up to Rickmansworth.

 

[Albion Rob]

Oooh,, oooh, get the Waterloo & City traverse in MARTIN , I reckon you'll have this sewn up pretty quickly if you do.

I'll think you'll find that the clause is 4b(i) but I like it anyway.

I'm going to invoke the Friday lunchtime loop (only available on Fridays before bank holidays) to take us to Kensington to wave hello to Dwayne.

 

[DTES]

I am ashamed of myself. But, as you're gonna be that picky, how about Hicksman's Post-Loop Retaliation rule to leave you at Boston Manor?

Quality. DTES = NSC Mornington Crescent's very own Ben Thatcher.

I shouldn't laugh but I do like that.

Got to be Canary Wharf - easy.
