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

Ah well, then, here's that obliging spanner - Ruislip Gardens placing Zone 2 in spoon and power failure on the Northern Line north of Warren Street
Farringdon for your trouble
Well, just to stir up some pandemonium, Warren Street, lacking power and so spiking the SG coefficient.
Evil! I believe I can just avoid danger by hopping to Barbican. Fa la la la la, la la la la.
hmmmm a cunning move, which forces me to play a Kiev, giving me a direct diagonal into a Konstantinovka
Ha! I supercede you with a Moscow and play Tsvetnoi Bulvar
hmmmmmm I can only follow that with a simple Scotch Corner. I believe you now have the upper hand!
widey]welcome to the great game, however if I could just nudge yoou into putting a couple of 'tags' around your moves <b> to make them bold </b> , I must show no preference to any player but please accept these four blue tokens.
[Widey] And it would also be sort of nice if you moved to an actual station, or location. Indeterminate locations are all very well as a gimmick, but entirely confusing when used as a standard strategy, not least to the player who is playing them...

Wien Westbahnhof, naturally.

Moving it back into the zone and trumping wildly with Pigalle
3457879
*fanning the air around Angus* returning to a kind of ironic normality with Edgware Road
And leaving it again with Barkingside.
I would like to try a sub-sonic turn about for I may go to this place of a long time and stay.
Right... You're new to this aren't you? Custom House with a silver podume to boot
I declare Golders Green putting Angus in nid
And while all that's going on, I'll quietly hum on to Tooting Bec.
I see I see, I always did like London road
White City putting Pigeon in nip
Mansion House, pulling Angus out of knid and putting Poisoned Pigeon in spoon as well.
You think that can hold me? Me???!!! I shall come back with the three step, cross reversal. Brent Cross, Charing Cross and Kings Cross This will put Angus back in knid an LotUS in spoon and me free to roam where I will!
Golders Green/Willesden Green/Kensal Green forcing Pigeon to change lines at Rayners Lane
Its always an outisde move but I'll slip in a Stanmore in the hope of getting at least 1 point!
Old classic then - Hangar Lane gaining on all sides.
I think this move may become a new old classic. Reverse petticoats to straddle over Hackney Wick.
Bounds Green - am I too late to play trounce?
Sadly not. I, however, shall shorten the laterals and play Old Street
Clapham Common then becomes a good forcing move then. Avast!
Zut alors! New Cross!
You bounder! Gallions Reach - so there!
moving in a kind of zig-zag "don't step on the vortex" way, to Earls court
biding my time at Brent Cross and placing an oak podume on Moredon in preparation for my next.
a good plan. East Ham.
Devons Road with teak podume on Temple
East Finchely, just because....
aaaww... finchley. Bermondsey.
Have a care sir... Clapham Common because...
New Cross (Zut Alors!) opens a neat temporal vortex, and by pre-re-investment I now have 1550 silvery-turquoise podumes!
Camden Town - I wish I'd bought property in the 70s.
[nights] my father did buy property in the 70's, in Belgravia actually, my mother dined with Romanian dictators and Japanese warlords and I'm currently number 2 in the Hit Parade.......*bows head*.actually this is a soggy tissue of lies, really Amersham.
[momus] feel better for that? Loughton
Tuttlebee Lane due to the retreating furcations
Ongar a)because its a safe move and b)they have real Scorpions there!!
widey]after my last play you are so kind, a simple use of Goldensteins Lever, the way is open for a simple slip pivot to Brompton Road.
Stamford Brook, gesticulating wildly.
Ealing Common, returning the gesticulations with some of my own. "And your mother too" attached.
Mafeking Avenue bringing Rankin's Hypothesis into function.
[angus] what line's that one on? In the meantime, Stanmore, playing Mr Tickle's Special Ruling...
declaring all my genes.."taxi!! to the runway!!"..Heathrow Terminal 4..fake fingerprints in hand
[nights] It's not. Being a seasoned player, I'm sure you're aware you do not have to restrict yourself to stations. Graham Garden famously played Quex Road (and Willy Rushton went on to win from there), earning a 10 for using Q & X. I shall now play Yeoman's Row, taking one of your onyx podumes for asking obvious questions.
Lord, it's taken ages to find my way back to crescent after madeira and/or lethargicness set in. Well, as i'm here, er.....Kennington
So my Scotch Corner move was valid after all? I want my red n blue podumes back and demand a free go!!!!
Christ was the source of the Nile.. Mornington Crescent
[angus] hilarious. does that mean I can play Sandwell & Dudley?
[comus] surely you realised you were offside then? Never play a Crescent after Scotch Corner after all.....Ealing Broadway to move us past the fourth parallelogram
Perivale obviously.
well, then. Bounds Green again.
adding a little nautical flavour and moving sideways to Chatham
[LJ]I was off side indeed then , like Ike was in Turner, Mornington Crescent
...sorry, lad, but everyone knows you can't do that after Chatham!. Essex Road is a far more suitable riposte.
[Tuj] good point, well made. I'm going to invoke Mr Tickle's Special Surprise and play Walthamstow Central, Belsize Park, Blackwall and Chigwell all at the same time. I should clean up later on!
[nights] Not if I can help it, we'll halve the furbication to just a bi with West Acton and Turnham Green. Careful players, note the potential blocking moves from the south*wink*.
[Jim] Why warn us? We all spotted them of course... Green Park/White City swooping in from the north east and cornering Jim at Hammersmith.
reconstituting with Earl's Court. please retune your radios now.
[prune] fallen into the old trap eh? I cunningly had ou all looking south...now, I can swiftly counter charge with Upminster
[LJ] Had you bargained for Lambeth North, I wonder (cackles sinisterly)?
weaving madly at Canons Park.
Barking, threatening Little Jim with the Upminster Trick.
Farringdon. [LJ] Aha, so my cunning ploy worked...
Taking it right to the edge of the board (so you will need a telescope to get a good view!)and playing Cromar Beach allowing me to use the Eddison rule thus bringing Battersy Power station into play...
In which case, bifurcating with Battersea Power Station / Borough.
Crivens! We'll all be naught and washed away if I dinna stave things off wiv a bad Scottish accent and The Thames Barrier.
In that case I'll have to keep north of the river for now till the back wash dies down Island Gardens
