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

You were caught, by the Angel (fish).
Leading to a rather flat "Plaice"tow
Eeling Broadway. Jellied
Bugger. That means we're stuck at Dollis Gill.
No we're not. Not if I'm right and can play Goldfish Green.
Forces me to Whiting City
Hammer(head)smith
Nicely closed... Charing Cross, rectifying spin and declaring home at Goodge Street. It's nice to flex the old Html muscles again!
Ooooh! Northwood Hills.
Pimlico declaring all puce tokens void.
Rules out an early Jansen's Shift from Pimlico then...
I think I'll play Parson's Green anyway, though it might trigger a cascade.
If it triggers anything it'll be an improvement. Things haven't exactly been moving fast... Golders Green
whats'appening? Vauxhall
There's a slight vibration on the Circle, Hey Presto! Tower Bridge.
That spurges me then. Chalfont & Latimer.
Ye gods, it seems to have spurged everyone else too. Perhaps it takes a new player (to this game at least, I don't think I've moved in it before) to get us going. Totteridge & Whetstone - can't go wrong with Allbright's.
JLE] Nice to see you back around. As a mark of respect, I'll resist re-spurging at Cannon Street and bi-furcate to Shoreditch / Dollis Hill.
What's been started I can't stop, don't have enough tokens to fix the situation so will just weather the storm.... Dollis hill/ Dollis Hill
Barons Court / Ongar, for two different kinds of denial - Attacking and Orthodox.
Whoa, JLE, you've put me way off balance as I enter! No defence, oh dear! I think Prince Regent and Royal Albert may help even things - and, with a little luck, take the heat out of my declaration of home Royal Victoria.
I'll flick out a dusty podume to unify by Grumve's Second at High Barnet. It's unorthodox and raises the spin to 3.45, but I think that's mainly counteracted by Dujon's entry.
Ugh! I've been spun! Highly impressed by Dujon's entry as it happens, but I'll leave my personal life out of this! Kensal Rise with apologies for week-old podumes
[AP] It's not how old they are, it's how you use them. Woodside Park!!! knobbling Tuj for 5 green tokens.
Forced to pass then, aren't I, to pay them!
Woodside Park from Kensal Green? Traditional, aren't we? Cornered me onto the Northern Line though, curses... Hendon Central and that should block any flying nidders.
Ah, the Cheriton-Ropley block. Angus] You forgot the Metropolitan intersection - you can't avoid niddlers. Ladbroke Grove picking up a very pretty Hammersmith and City pink podume.
Arnos Grove, sideways.
Essex Road vertically with a slight limp, depositing puse podumes on the way. [Bob] Do you mean nidders or niddlers? I wish to clarify, because I was under the impression that niddlers are supremely easy to block, and only used in the infant version of the game. Their appearance here would only serve to cheapen our efforts.
Pimlico (quietly).
Anything but Pimlico! I'm stranded at Alperton of all places - for 5 moves!
Four Wents. Need I say more?
[Angus] I believe that was Five Ways (just south of Birmingham) until somebody blocked one of them and shifted the game into the past tense ;-) Seven Sisters, but not with a Septimus Divergence.
Threading (and treading) warily. Bank, which should waste what otherwise would have been a jolly good lunch break. I hope it's not a holiday or I'm in too deep and have no chance of picking up the small amount of input that this would normally afford; still, I suppose I could always toss down the hat and sing for my supper!
My first foray into the MC5 long game sees me playing my traditional opening move by declaring home at Croxley
[Huxley] Now that's unbalanced me somewhat. I'd best retreat to Cockfosters and replot.
