Let's have another go, then, shall we?
Well, let's begin with my traditional opening of Upminster!
Counterbalancing with Uxbridge.
As always, Chalk Farm.
Bank, pointlessly
... on the floor in Belsize Park
Kilburn, home at Goodge Street.
Ongar, home at Wherever I lay my hat.
Hillingdon, sitting on someone's hat.
[Quenders] Oy! That was my home!
Neasden
Fairlop
Chalfont & Latimer, zone 8 wild.
Swiss Cottage?
Glide to Ickenham, keeping the LV low. [Tuj] So sorry! It seemed uninhabited.
Chorleywood, cautiously.
[Quenders] I think I'd borrowed it from nights, in fact. Meanwhile: Redbridge
Claiming an indigo token and moving to Goldhawk Road.
Sudbury Town, obviously.
Green tokens and Ickenham.
(and we circle 'round and 'round the platform...)
This isn't going to turn into an Ickenham loop, is it? Attempting to counter with Pimlico.
Jumping the counter with Hammersmith
Keeping it moving, and now that GL's provided me with an opening, I can deny the Ickenham Loop with Mill Hill East.
Well, I have no choice but South Woodford.
Embankment. Mind the..........................Gap
Minding the Gappe... Newbury Park.
Upminster Bridge doesn't stand a chance.
Canons Park, trading three grey tokens.
Onward to Ruislip.
I don't really think Harlesden stands a chance either, but at least it puts [Quend] in a very sticky situation.
Time for a Queensway, I feel.
Well, let's give Totteridge & Whetstone a go.
Vauxhall deserves a play here, yet I don't see what good it'll do me.
[Kinrah] It's about as useful as Oval is to me.
Well, let's try and get Dollis Hill out of the way without a looooop.
Thankfully, the cumulative LV is high enough to warrant an immediate escape to Mornington Crescent, calling the bluff.
[Kinrah] Well worth a shot. Canada Water
That'll be a tonic. Barons Court next, I think.
I'll bifurcate then, though it may be a bit wild. Alperton / King's Cross St. Pancras.
Mmm, wild it is. I think Shepherd's Bush tames that, though.
Eastcote. Coat!
Rayners Lane. Has anyone seen my hat?
Has the Angel got it?
Monument
Ah-ha! Hanger Lane, spinning wildly.
Mournington Crescent
Farringdon
Creeping slowly to Ruislip Manor, with minimal LV.
Edging to Park Royal
Redbridge, reclaiming my hat.
Opening at Chigwell - no surprises there then. I am just so predictable.
OK, Southgate.
Barkingside. Woof.
Mill Hill East
Boston Manor. Surely not.
I tell you there is a curse on the house of Moriarty, it's called the Hampstead Building Society.
Very well, Pimlico if I must.
Err....mercy killing at South Kenton, I think. If I'm wrong, there'll be trouble.
Bugger.....
Chiswick Park
Manor House
Audience
shouts, screams, generally goes wild for ImNotJohn
Amazing, I can't think how I got that. It just came to me in a blinding flash.

Alternatively the only way I can win is by both lurking and cheating (or picking up on really obvious clues).

[INJ] Did it have anything to do with Richard O'Sullivan?
[Kim] Wasn't he in 'Man About the House'?
Bingo!
Doh!
