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

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!
As the song of the London Underground Railway Planning Sub-Committee tells us:
That certain night, the night we met,
There were projects abroad in the air;
There were navvies digging up the roads [an early reference to the 'cut-and-cover' technique]
And a station was planned for Berkeley Square.

I may be right, and I may be wrong
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That those present voted by eight to three
to cancel the plans for Berkeley Square.


So Chalky's challenge is perfectly valid - sorry, PP.
Thank you Wol :-) ... wonderful singing, by the way.
OK PP - I don't want to come over all patronising-like but have you been playing the game called Mornington Crescent for very long?
Years actually. Of course i did come into the middle of this game and may have miscalculated the set of rules you are using. If the Stanislaus Basic rules are being used then I believe, despite Wol's eloquent and lyrical singing, that I am perfectly correct. If however, you are using the Kaminski revision of 1893, then I would be wrong, in which case I shal revise my move to Mudchute
Jolly good show. In my experience these Long Games often fly on the face of strict and rigorous adherence to one nominated ruleset. As the excitement unfolds then so does the action drift, organically, as it were, from one ruleset to the other. For instance, Kaminsski revisionists had their day back in June this year. For now, Stanislaus Basic appears to be driving this train, albeit tweaked by that Watling Street Variation which was forced through on the 11th anniversary of Black Wednesday as recently as September. Damn nearly caught me out, I can tell you!
OK - now for a move. I'm still sporting an extra eyebrow, so I shall attempt to be rid of it by exploring that Quex lateral, hence a cautious Bethnal Green.
I am afraid I cannot let that superficially cautious (but in reality audacious), move go unchallenged. You know as well as I do that the Quex lateral can only be explored when Grebblings' Impulse Function is at a sine value of minus 1. Putting things right with Colindale. Tsk!
Bank defiantly.
Rayners Lane, impulsively.
Epping, effervescently.
Buckhurst Hill, oddly.
Barking, loudly.
Wapping predictably.
Kings Cross slyly.
Mudchute, bizarrely.
Shepherd's Bush, Dairylea.
East Finchely, spurning the Dairylea in preference of Primula.
Alperton,seeing your Primula and raising a pack of Red Cow Triangles.
Waterloo sunset over La Vache Qui Rit. [Dazed - Laughing Cow, surely?]
Alexandra Palace past the man with the Kraft singles.
Euston Square, and throwing Philadelphia into the equation.
Camembert, Camembert, Cam-den Town.
Goodge Street
Notting Hill Gate, and don't forget the crackers!
Double Gloucester Road. I think it's a bit runnier than you'll like, sir.
Going out on a cheesy limb here - Chesham cheese.
Edam Court if we're into a dairy cycle
Red Leicester Square. Cycling further.
East Ham; different sources of protein.
Well, just to throw it open, I'll use a turquoise podumeto get to Limehouse.
Is that like a pimento?
Colindale- a well known cheese from Yorkshire. P.S. I sufa from dailysex, so excuse me if I mess up
Hoho - it seems the joker has arrived. I feel it may be just the moment to flourish a trump - Elephant & Castle!
Aaaaagggggghhhhhh! If it wasn't for the signalling problems at Finchley Road station (correct at time of going to press) I could have put you in Nid, Chalky with a dashing move to Baker Street. That would have taught you a lesson for the reckless trumping you have been doing. As it is I shall have to respond with a Royal leap to Victoria
In keeping, a 5-point turn to Royal Oak
Tsk!Tsk! ZK I fear that you have missed the point and fallen into PP's simple but fiendishly cunning trap.I believe, however, that I can retrieve the situation by using the Faraday Lightning Strike. (It's an old trick but it just might work). Onward to Bethnal Green
