I feel, Ms Keeper, that you got us verily into this mess, and verily should the burden lay on your shoulders to get us out again. I shall Dollis Hill once more, before I feel obliged to steal your sienna tokens
Nonsense. If you were insane you wouldn't be sane enough to know that pleading was required. Regents Park, raiding ZK's obvious Home while he's out, for one silver, one teak and one osmium token.
It is nice to play with people who know what they're doing - I've seen some amateurs on The Weakest Link, really, they just keep shouting Bank all the time. No style.
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
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)
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!
