Team Spot the Ostrich

Ladies and gentlemen, to celebrate the shiny new relaunch of our beloved MC5, a fabulous party has been held! But sadly during the revelry that notorious creature the ostrich has been loosed... Form into teams to attempt to catch the ostrich first, with bonus points for style.

And so it begins...

• Tuj (Cornflower blue)
  Well, I'll start our hunt in an alley near Goodge Street. Thought I heard a rattling of bin lids...
• Botherer (Red)
  I saw feathers at Tottenham Court Road, but it was gay night at the Astoria.
• Inkspot (darkseagreen)
  Well I think it is best not to rush into these things so time for a swift one or two, just round the corner from Kilburn before moving off.
• Kim (Hampster (controversial))
  Hmmm, that rather plump lady standing outside Covent Garden has very thin legs......
• Tuj (Cornflower blue)
  Should there be a limit to the number of teams? Maybe while you're thinking about that I'll establish team base at Goodge Street and move on to an advantageous position atop London Bridge.
• Wymo (Extraordinarily dark white)
  Either that's an ostrich with its head in the ground at Latimer Road, or three supermodels are all sharing the same afro wig.
• Inspot (darkseagreen)
  Carry on, carry on stomping I'll scrunt around Green Park while checking out the loacl hospitality to kill two birds at the same time so to speak. *Burp* oops pardon me.
• Tuj (Cornflower blue)
  Purchasing an ACME Ostrich Finder is usually against the rules... but happening to find one at, say Chalfont and Latimer, that'd just be lucky I guess. Oh looky here...
• Wymo (Extraordinarily dark white)
  It's eerily quiet here at Bethnal Green. Too quiet.
• Dujon (Don't know - I've not been invited)
  Last night I trawled Kings Cross but found few birds, though there was a fair number of transvestites. I have now returned to see if my night glasses will help ... hang on a bit there's something ahead of me with its head stuck in the sand ... could it be? might it be? ... Damn, it's just my local M.P.
• Tuj (Cornflower blue)
  CHarging up the ACME Ostrich Finder at the terminus at Euston Road, and looking very very threatening.
• Inkspot (darkseagreen)
  All very quiet at Amersham, looks like the trail has gone cold.
• Wymo (Extraordinarily dark white)
  I've found some droppings at Acton Town. I'm beginning to regret not bringing gloves.
• Kim
  As no-one has joined my team, I am throwing in my lot with the Red team and will make my way to Archway, where I expect to pick up a distinct whiff.
• Kim (Red)
  Peeeeyewww!
• Juxtapose (fuchsia)
  *Completely fails to find anything poking around the Seattle Monorail Station*
  Hmm... not even a monorail...
• Tuj (Cornflower blue)
  Ah, so the ostrich might be abroad? That might be why I can't seem to get the AOF working, needs its co-ordinates adjusted... I could use an assistant really.
• Tuj (Cornflower blue)
  *cough* Hatton Cross
• Wymo (Extraordinarily dark white)
  Ostrich noises at Kentish Town! I blame 24-hour drinking.
• plump (red)
  I went to Osterley and looked in a fire bucket, all I found was a head in the sand.
• rab (Black)
  Time to kill this one?
• Tuj (Cornflower blue)
  firing up ACME Ostrich Finder* Yes, boss... It says the blighter's at Mornington Crescent. And, by Jove, he is!
• Tuj (Cornflower blue)
  Hmm. Wasn't the "*" I missed off the start, was it?
• rab (Hmmm)
  Don't think so - let's try it again. Mornington Crescent
• Audience
  *shouts, screams generally goes wild for rabTuj*
• rab (Hmmm)
  How very odd.
• rab (Ahhh)
  That shouldn't happen again - the bug that stopped Tuj from winning has now been fixed.
• Juxtapose
  Oi, slap to the forehead. I mean, considering where things usually up around here I feel a bit silly for not checking there very first thing...

This is the end of the line. There is no more.
