That makes it safe for Stamford Brook but I'm running low on tokens, time to look for an opening, if I raise the LV 0.5 that should gain a bit of time.

Time to slip into Ealing Broadway and await the next move!

Thanks widey, just what I was waiting for. (Apparently) sniped by JLE's double double crossing - Holborn. For those of you who are new to the game, this effectivly puts the Central and Northern lines into doubleknip (see Broadbear & Broadbear 1975). Any takers for the Jubilee-Grey tokens I left at Stockwell?

Me! I claim them by high-tailing it to Burnt Oak, placing the DLR under curfew conditions.

Perfect. Holborn, via Green Park, shunting Bob to Bethnal Green. On a double-knipped line *with no means of interchange*... I could escape from Warren Street by the Victoria.

AP] That was uncalled for and terribly mean, that leaves me in a bit of a crisis. But if I play an underscuttled Golders Green the effect on JLE should be to send him to Angel forcing a token cascade along Northern, all I have to do is sit here and wait.

Double G's and all to play for, Picadilly circa 1937.

*elbows her way in with* North Harrow if you'll excuse my audacity, I've been at the pink lemonade again.

So, beginning from Angel, I guess I've got nowhere to go except on foot from the double-knipped Northern (and a remembrance that, okay, Inkspot has a few extra podumes, but with the double knip he's going to need them all - I'd be surprised if he actually gains anything by setting off the cascade, given what he's about to end up spending.)

So, at risk of wearing out a pair of shoes that weren't really meant for walking long distances, Great Portland Street.

Best to steer clear of that foreclosed diagonal then. An incredibly underhanded Cavendish Square, cutting off all of JLE's retreats.

So satisfying to catch JLE finally caught out. Not being mean, you must understand (curse his pro-playing hide!). Charing Cross begginning snood alignment.

Oh come on! Stop being so wet Googolplex and hit him where it hurts! Manchester Picadilly via Euston

Hmmmmm using my space-time conveter thus changing picadilly into London road circa 1928 and using the old link into Victoria for a swift halfmoon manouver!!

[Little Jim] I'm afraid of what he'll do to me!

Well I think that went rather well all things considered. That double knip was a small price to pay. But thanks to the cascade I seem to be up one red and one blue token. Standing back at Gants Hill after placing a well worn Oak Podume on Epping , with what looks to me like E R srcatched into its surface.

Oh balls. *farkle*.

It thus seems logical to play Uxbridge, particularly as there's no-one else around, and thus earning back two podumes from Angus that were confiscated a few weeks ago. But I forget - do I get to choose what type or do you, Angus?

Neasdon. For religious reasons.

[ZK] I do. You can have a yellow one and this peppermint one I found at the bottom of my coat pocket. Sorry about the fluff. Meantime I shall move to Turnham Green, leaving JLE, Little Jim and Googolplex only one possible move. Not that they needed warning.
