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

Keeping to Tuke's Arboreal with Aspen Way

A bit off-side there Angus, but I suppose that can be permitted in the circumstances. Stockwell picking up the tangerine podume JLE so cleverly diverted our attention from with his threat of the Upminster Trick.

[Bob the dog] You really should have learned by now. My bluffs are never *single*... I assume a certain amount of intelligence on the part of my competitors, and thus knew the Upminster trick wouldn't fool you. But what was the tangerine podume a decoy for?

Here's hoping you don't find out till it's too late.Warren Street - *not* playing the bi-directional driveback I suspect you were expecting, and planning to be knocked out of trouble with... and where are you going to move from Stockwell? You're fine where you are, but every move is a disaster...

Words words words. And I was NOT off-side, not even by a little bit. Progressing, with Junkin's Defence, to Dalston Kingsland
