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

Tuj] He may well be! But Hangar Lane could well be to my advantage here.
You are all far too crafty, but the options are running out.
Taj Mahal
[Googolplex] Enough of your predilections. ;-) Ealing Common
I think I can straddle to Clapham Common, can I not?
[JLE] First time you've ever complained ;-)
[Tuj - yes, but I wouldn't shout about it!] Nectarine Way with a purple podume and in preparation for a Washington Gambit
AJ]Seeing as my token stack is a bit more healthy I can counter that with Scunthorpe Twist to lower the LV to Zones 1 and 2 at the same time as playing off South Acton
Banbury Cross to see [Inkspot]'s fine lady upon a white hoss...
restarting from Tooting Beck as I have missed several goes, but aim to do better this time!
[Googolplex] *BOOT* (friendly of course). And on that note, Chigwell
[JLE] Thanks, and you! Westferry with a small ice cube. I can see lateral passes on the horizon!
*swallows ice cube* Hampstead, splinge reduced.
Clapham common as I feel a womble hunt is way over due, followed by a diagonal shunt to Green Park...
Thence for continuity....Turnham Green and Dollis Hill, reversing parallels, shunting [Widey] to the extremities of the Victoria Line, Nuffielding [Tuj] and placing me in a rather good position for the shipping forecast.
[LJ] I should've seen that coming. Good ploy with the parallels, but I think that Beck's Coefficient's too high for a charge on the Northern Line, or even just a shunt to Blackfriars. Meanwhile, I *farkle* again resignedly.
escaping the victoria line by deft use of the blue and black levers (but not the red ones!)and using Webbs theory of independant transmission to loitre at Box Hill!!
Oh no, you don't - Temple!
[HB] Wrong religion, mate, wrong religion. At least at this juncture in the game. St Pauls would have served you better if you'd gotten there first.
...but Alperton even better, yes?
Only if you really *believe* in atheism, rather than just not giving a damn.
Oh ye of little faith, so many prayers left unanswered, Oval.
Then build a Monument for your piety.
Oh, and Elephant and Castle, which is named after the pub, for all those who believe that the real meaning of life will be found in booze ;-)
Oh, and according to "What's In A Name?" by Cyril M. Harris, the definitive guide to the origins of station names, the name of the Elephant and Castle (the pub) does *not*, as is popularly supposed, derive from "Infanta of Castile" after a Spanish princess, but from its original proprietors - the Cutlers' Company, whose use of the Elephant as their coat-of-arms derives from the ivory used for their craft: the first recorded appearance of the Elephant-and-Castle coat-of-arms is by the Cutlers, at the marriage in 1445 of King Henry VI to Queen Margaret, who was most certainly *not* Spanish. (One presumes that the Cutlers were at the time one of the more important of the ancient trade guilds, who would appear turned out in their best livery as part of important processions and ceremonial occasions.)
Royal Oak, continuing the licensed premises cascade.
Well, somewhat saddeningly forced to Mudchute.
[Tuj] And therefore, off you go to Willesden Junction. Heheh, I'm on a roll: you're next JLE! Scattering the fractals by reverse passing to Embankment on the Bakerloo Line.
[JLE] needs to get out more....Seven Sisters.
[Little Jim] needs to actually look at what's *around* him more... Walthamstow Central.
Gants Hill maintaining a northward drive with banked Notley Spin.
[JLE] needs a sense of humour;) heh, let's go Picadilly Circus for the clowns!
*splats Little Jim in the face with a custard pie* Oxford Circus. Clowns? Does anybody actually find them funny? :-)
[JLE - no - terrifying!] Circus Street. Always preferred sword swallowers myself....
[Angus Prune] No comment. Still ensconced in my powerful position, I redirect Little Jim to Northwick Park, place one teal token on my stack and move to Stepney Green.
Chalfont & Latimer, the standard riposte.
That has opened up Mansion House what a gift! I'll just reverse the flow on the Circle and the District to shunt Googolplex the Amazing Balancing Goat from Luxembourg to Upminster.
[Inkspot] You utter swine! Well that's my advantage gone. I am now very cross.
[Inkspot] That's a bit of a big shunt isn't it? "From Luxembourg to Upminster"... Blackwall.
I'm horribly confused - my Fronsky diagram and Becks calculator are giving me completely contradictory readings. Nothing for it, then but to * Farkle * until the situation has stabilised.
*whangs an egg nog at JLE* that's the spirit laddie! Chalk Farm via Rosemary Avenue and Morden. Dark, isn't it?
Chalk Farm shunting Little Jim to Amersham. [LJ] Dark enough for you?
... ... Camden Town (Bank to High Barnet Branch). Crossing points 20a & 20b very carefully... that's where the train derailed last October.
Bugger it. *F A R K L E*
Yeah, I'm left there too, again... *farkle*.
Chiz chiz [Molesworth]! Oval.[LotUS] pass'us the torch then...
Stops off at Embankment to see what the Metropolitan District Railway Company have done to my specially designed riverside...
What about the drains in Hackney?
Well, last I heard they were more concerned about the earthquakes in East Acton.
Ello 'dere. Winds light to variable. Errm... Balham gateway to the South.
Hello everybody! It's me: Blunebutton! Places lug in lug 'ole and sidles up to Eccles. Ooooh, I like 'dis game: no hit hit hitee or deading! Bermondsey incognito.
Essex Road, to avoid dedding again.
Cannon Street, firing.
Our father who art in Hendon,
Little Portland Street, Little
Tooting, toot toot.
South Harrow, touche...
West Harrow, threeche, even... how are you at mathematics?
Holloway be thy name.
Being flusterd and botherd at Kings cross.....pah, where's my sandwich?
Crusts on or off? Crusts on, it's just behind the bread bin, crusts off, not sure....oh, hang about, Morning-...arse! Neeped and tattied!
Stopping off for a scratch in flealess East Finchley.
Thy Kingston come,
Thy Wimbledon[sorry SNS]
In Erith as it is in heaven.
Give us this Bray in Maidenhead,
and forgive us our bypasses
I see others are sad enough to know The Bus Inspectors Prayer.
