There has to be one of these, doesn't there?

[AP] Sorry, I'm all in a quandry. Am I in spoon?
No, I think you're alright. I played Maida Vale too close to Remembrance Sunday, and all the poppies have cancelled the spooning effect. Whitehall with a wreath and Nimrod playing in the background
In that case, Barons Court, calling to mind Sandy's Bona Crescent strategem of 1966.
Oooh, that allows me to sneak in a quick Hackney Wick. Remember 1959 MCWC?
[Boolbar] Ah, if you remember it, you weren't there. I remember Adlestrop, though. Highgate, cemeteries wild.
Cemetery Lane then, in deference to the great Inigo Sanchez, Mexican champion 1923.
I play a Bounding Gambit and opt for Belsize Park, hopefully with impunity.
Not with me around. Lancaster Gate with slate podumes towards Kentish Town.
Well, avoiding Kentish Town that leaves me tagging 2 green 'uns at Hampstead.
Advancing 3 podumes to Gospel Park, of the pewter variety (the podumes, not Gospel Park, although I did once craft a very attractive version out of aluminium for a modern art competition)
bzzzzt! Gospel Park doesn't exist!
It didn't sound right when I was typing it in. Gospel Oak, then, and you get all my sienna tokens, dang and blast you!
Oakwood and thanks for the tokens!
wafting in on an ambient westerly breeze, scattering a few crystal tokens over Zone 6 and landing neatly on the tropicana in Kew Gardens.
*OUCH*
*hands Chalky some Intimate Cream* Hanger Lane, claiming 2 crystal tokens for a Gaveston manoeuvre.
Not if I get there first! Gavestone Crescent
Perivale, airily.
Bushey, sniggering.
West Brompton, delicately.
Boston Manor, unusually.
Benfleet, stupidly.
Thanks ZK [I hadn't spotted the palm frond]. Hmmm .. time to don this false moustache and make a move on Woodside Park [invoking facial hair].
Facial hair eh? Well, I'll play Marx and move to Highgate then.
Then I don a false beard in the hopes that I'll be asked why I'm wearing a false nose and move to Smyrk's Road
The Smolny Institute, reversing.
Eek! Um, pass, until I can think my way round that one...
I shall come in with the trimmers and play Kensington Park
Ah, good one. Now well prepared with South Kensington
Kew - I've been waiting to play that one.
Borough. I haven't.
Damnation! Cornered at Balham.
Chesham - this isn't Balham.
Amersham - nor is this, but then you knew that.
Berkley Square - And let that be a lesson to you!
Berkley Square [sic]?? Hmmm - I think I'll pass on this one and spend some time examining the latest Underground map. PP - I hereby challenge your move!
Challenge my move? I think you'll find that it's perfectly legitimate if preceeded by two shams in a row! This was quite effectively deployed in the anniversary match of '22 whereby the player went on to win the game with a beltane twist!
