Inkspot - Invoking past tense with slept to initiate a reverse block.

Tuj - North Gherkin, blocking the Slimm Line.

Valentin - Tolpuddle straddle to Gherkin Gardens partially reopening the Slimm Line (south of Constipation)

Flix - Adding Beef & Breadbap to force all Gherkins into Burger.

Tuj - (Hehehe, I'd really like to see this map, I never got a '57 annual... do have rare 1913 and 1922 ones thouhg...) Nipple Creep, gherkin to Hedge.

Flix - I fear Nipple Creep will force me to go Moist like Boolbar.

Flix - I fear Nipple Creep will force me to go Moist like Boolbar.

Flix - No idea what happened there...

Gusset Login - I guess that leaves an opening to Bush. [Tuj] I had no idea you were playing blind.

Boolbar - Vigourously Toweling myself down.

JLE - Match, burning both Bush and Toweling.

Darren - A pre-emptive play to Cress.

Tuj - Gusset Login] I saw one once, and can roughly remember the outline of it... the more moves, the more powerful I am MUAHAHA
Oh dear, excuse me! Compass South, invoking gherkin embago.

Boolbar - Custom Pants (for ExDirectory)

Kim - Wank (forced).

Robin - That allows me to whizz down the blue diagonal to Scooby-Doo.

Darren - In that case, Homer Simpson again. I get the feeling we're not actually going anywhere.

Flix - Well, not if we carry on like that. Honestly, you're playing like an amateur. Hopefully Marge will set us up for a Butter Reversal.

penelope - [Flix] Butter-side down, I'm afraid. Dripping, but I warn you, it's softening rapidly.

Gusset Login - Nipple Creep obviously.

plump - Going round the back way to Clench

Inkspot - Avoiding any unpleasantness by going to Bolt and closing all stable doors.

all - I think Oats would be good here.

Tuj - Bifurcating shamelessly to Oats / Chekhov, and wondering how many stations we've named so far, as I have no map...

Gusset Login - [Tuj] The problem is that we've spilled over into street names and I'm fairly certain "Marge" is in Reading. Slept/Aaaaaaaargh!

Boolbar - Lard / Wet Wipes - could this be the start of the end?

Kim - Boatswain/puppy - let all just hope its not the end of the start!

all - Moist/Laser Display Board - I think I've lost the map, can anyone remember what Mornington Crescent was renamed to?

LotUS - Sven / Samantha [all] I'm sorry, I haven't a clue.

Gusset Login - Ronnie/Barker I think we need to reunify before we end this.

Darren - Ronnie/Corbett No need. This game can go on forever.

Tuj - Reunifying at The Two Ronnies.

Darren - A rather self-referential move to Code Breakers' Crescent.

all - That leaves an opening to Porridge on a diagonal.

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

all - I thought Porridge was Kentish Town, clearly I don't use the tube often enough. Which one was Kentish Town?

Boolbar - [all] According to my copy of the map, it was Dripping, easily confused with Porridge. However it was still a valid (and worthy) winning move. Congrats!

Darren -

Exercise for the Reader
If you have a spare evening or two, why not try drawing the map we used to play this game? Fun for all the family! (I, the task-setter, would do this myself, but I can't be bothered.)

Gusset Login - [Darren] is it OK if I just copy it out of the 1957 annual? [all] Good win.

Darren - [Gusset Login] Yes, but you must post it here.

Tuj - Darren] Ye gods, I am that sad and lonely and twisted, I may just summon up my non-existent artistic talents to combine with my boundless enthusiasm to do that. Just as vengeance for someone winning while I was abroad, you understand.
