Robin - [SP] Three Red you say? You're welcome - I wasn't using them anyway. Oh well, new year, new strategy. * Farkle *.

Wymo - Oh dear, I'm stuck between Bank and Monument. How the hell did that happen?

Ye Olde Gong Farmer - Mill Hill to put it simply...

Sir Joseph Bazalgette - Just to see if this thing is still awake Knotty Ash.

nights - Seven Sisters, bifurcation wild.

Tuj - I'll bifurcate away then, as is my wont: Warren Street / Kilburn.

Salamander Pudding - Liverpool Street / Tower Hill HA-HA! Take that. Winning is finally in my grasp.

Mine the Gap - Am I too late to join the long game...I have a 'get into St Johns Wood Free' card?

nights - Oh my, everyone's welcome in the Long Game. While I'm here, Cannon Street / Walthamstow Central.

Pave (ex Mine the Gap) - Well then - I'll play my 'get into St Johns Wood Free' card, and bifurcate the move, placing equally 4 red counters and 3 yellow squibs on St Johns Wood and Finchley Road. Not too bold a first move I hope?

Wymo - Poplar / Swiss Cottage, obviously.

nights - Camden Town / Seven Sisters, not so obviously.

Theydon Bois - Ahhhh! A little lateral thinking suggests the not so lateral Dollis Hill

nights - Damn you tube station, you! Dollis Hill.

Pave - Ha ha!!! Dollis Hill *bugger*

Salamander Pudding - What a lot of simpletons you are, one guy moves to Dollis Hill and you cant find a way to stay out yourselves? I suggest you all go back to the grammar school leagues and leave this game to REAL players. Dollis Hill, ahhhh crap, anybody have some crow?

Pave - [Salamander Pudding] I still have a "Get out of Dollis FREE" card.....coff.

Salamander Pudding - Thanks my friend, would you be interested in a trade now?

Pave - Maybe SP...but careful who you call 'friend'...You may say other 'things' when you see my latest Locks move...Ah heck...*passes card*. See you at North End on our head to head...*smirk*

nights - Paying the cost of LV redoubling, I make a break for Cockfosters.

Wymo - With podumes tumbling left, right and centre I make a break for Bermondsey. Oh, the humanity!

nights - Well, I think Temple.

Salamander Pudding - Seems a little slow lately. Ladbroke Grove ought to speed things up.

Salamander Pudding - Shoot... If noone else is around then Mornington Crescent Oh yeah. My first win.

Pave - I object!!! MC after Ladbroke grove, and you call that a win!!! What about the green podumes you left scattered on the inbound stretch? Bit untidy!!! Unless....no...NO You played that move didn't you?The one with the thing and the reversed whatsit....that make it a fair win then! Well done ;-)

Salamander Pudding - I was watching "The History of MC: 1346 - 1491 Not Including 1408" on DVD this weekend and realized that any moves to MC made on the 16th of March must be preceeded by the killing of a roman emperor.

Salamander Pudding - Bermondsey

Pave - I find Seven Sisters should be a good counter to your Bermondsey....

Salamander Pudding - Seven Sisters would be great on my counter, however I'll make do with the ladies around Whitechapel

Pave - Move over SP old chap, I'm doubling up on Whitechapel to compare notes! (Tuj is looking for a challenger in Lock my dear friend).

Salamander Pudding - There is always room for 2, but not for long. Moorgate.

Pave - That must be an April fools joke of a move!...No one would play Moorgate after Whitechapel, surely! I mean, look at what happened in our match recently....Moorgate and Whitechapel would do that and more!

Wymo - Nips into Shoreditch before they demolish it in two month's time. God only knows what that'll do to the line velocity.

Sir Joseph Bazalgette - Hmm... I'll see your Shoreditch and raise you Bishopsgate

Phil - Ah, thank God the Bishopsgate pause is over. Is three weeks a new record in non-championship play? I seem to remember Chaddington and Harvings achieving a 4 week B'gate pause in the '88 World Championships, although the word on the street was that Harvings only played it so he could go on holiday with his mistress!
Anyway, Goodge Street seems to be my best option at present.

Tuj - *sniff* Hounslow West

Pave - After a faultered MC from Salamander Pudding, I feel I see an opening to play the final move as it follows on well from a sniffed Hounslow West. Using the OMICRON KAPPA ancient Greek semi-lucid velocity reduction method, I there fore play Mornington Crescent....unless there is an objection, of course.

rab - [Pave] I've just unblocked the diagonal, so you might want to try that move again.

Tuj - [rab] Pave couldn't make it unless the diagonal was in Schrodinger's - if we knew it was blocked before or if we know it's blocked now he can't make MC a winning move. However, as he's attempted the diagonal is weakened enough for me to exchange my podumes for LV reduction and strile to Mornington Crescent!

Audience - *shouts, screams generally goes wild for Tuj*

Pave - oh arse
