I'm going to ask Samantha for a ruling on that last move. In the meantime I'll play a straight bat:

In accordance with the 1901 rules I'm wearing a collar & tie which allows me to go to;

Ok, I cheated slightly there, anyone that watched "Mornington Crescent AM" the other day would have seen that move talked about.

I did see that talked about. Rather silly to remind us to be honest because I also remember that the best way out is to perform a triple Keynes-Phillips instep manoeuvre and head straight to:

Swiss cottage.

Close call for Catfish there. It's a Bank Holiday weekend which opens up Frindell's frisson (the wormhole from St John's Wood to MC). Named in honour of the bearded wonder's masterstroke during the 1981 Mornington Ashes. Humf would have smiled down on us to see it used for the first time in 30 years. Never mind, too late now ...

Yes, it's always bad play to let another man in your mudchute. If it had been Tuesday then I would have understood such a move, but today of all days? Still, it does open the game up a little so I can just go for a simple semi lateral shunt to

Lewisham

Sweet FA, eh? I know it's dreary, little better than a wonk-twiddle really, but here you go ...

Right, I really need to get on with some work now, so I'm going to jump immediately to Charring Cross, which under the Farquharson-Smythe-Chomondly-Warner innovation of 1923, temporarily places me in NIDD for the rest of the afternoon.

You do know that if we were playing under World War 1 emergency rules that move would have put you in Nidd for 4 years!

Lancaster Gate

Yeah, funny how the game has evolved since then, much more pace required now, rather than stamina. And the tactics are so much more complex.

Anyway Charing Crosss eh?

A backforce left, with semi-lateral shunt on a diagonal vector would give Tooting Broadway, so I'm going with that.

Seeing as all Southbound platforms are temporarily closed on the Victoria Line I'm going to have to disembark at;

Tottenham Court Road

Very predictable Catfish......
Even on the double level board I saw that coming...

Park Royal by the way.

Come on Questions brush up on your rules. Everyone knows the Earl of Rochester was sent to the tower for trying that move in 1846.

1847 I think you`ll find. These little inaccuracies will eventually cost you. As it did the Earl old mate.

Ruislip Gardens....... ha ha
