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

[Kiwi Chris] newbies are always welcome, you will find me fair, kind, conciderate to other players and always generous. However there is some unfinished business! Ruislip Gardens and introducing an LV spike on the Jubilee westbound.
Egads! How did you do that? Retires in disarray to Seven Sisters to reconsider.
Just as well I *did* get out of the way. Long Buckby, still out of town.
*farkle*, demurely, watching the melee.
Springing from Barbican to Arsenal and wading into the melee, sabre up on high.
Seeing new opportunities arise - Leicester Square
Amazing, I can semi-straddle to Putney Bridge, and initiate a cross-server blot!. I have no idea where you can go from there...
Well there's nothing for it I'll have to play Church End, Finchley.
Well that does cut down the options somewhat ... the only place I can reasonably go without shedding too much LV now is St Pauls... so that's where I go
Bank
Such a long pause, a gathering of breath before a huge plunge perhaps? Unnerved by the long silence, I scuttle to Southgate
Well... I can but move Junction Road for Tufnell Park, via Junction Road Junction.
*farkle*, established since 1985.
Oooh nasty... Well I think that laves me with a quick visit to Broad St, for Petticoat Lane Market (Which isn't in Petticoat Lane).
Right then, feeling a little continental (but she doesn't mind, really), it's Holland Park for me :)
Which forces me to Stratford.
Using the Butter Warble precedent I shall stride manfully into Ealing Broadway
I don't like the look of the Deschapelles Oscillation caused by that last move. Consulting my Federov Tables suggests that the best way to return some balance to the game is to march boldly to Blackwall and place a mauve podume into play. This I now do.
hmmm... Looks like a quick colour (color for those on the wrong side of the Atlantic) round Whitechapel
Invoking a colour cascade to get the necessary momentum to strile to Silvertown, doubling my podume stack at New Cross Gate.
And now for a Double colour move Golders Green.
Mearly a crossroads, in the middle of fields, in my day.
Moving carefully, so as not to disturb newly re-established balance ... tip toe cautiously to Edgeware Road
At last the W&C delivers me to the correctly spelt Edgware Road, Circle Line.
Alas, this edging about has bunched up so finely that according to my Dominant Lane Axis Graphs, I could unravel the entire structure and enter the game with a single Reverse Archipelago Pin straight across the third bilateral to Mile End.
Westminster, but I seem to have dropped the legume counter somewhere.
Gadzooks! Surely this doesn't leave me with a fiendish Dollis Hill?
Sucked in.... Dollis Hill.
Fidgetting madly at Dollis Hill.
oh for the love of God no! Dollis Hill!
You know, I think I saw this coming ... doesn't help me avoid it though. Sighing now, at Dollis Hill
Sorry I'll have to pass as my daughter's "Dolly's Ill".
still hopelessly mired in Dollis Hill. Sniff.
Guess Where. Again.
I'll spend 4,186 purple podumes to break out of this D****s H**l loop, and play Temple
Podumes well spent methinks ... move with alacrity to Hackney Central
Taking an artistic move to the North of Hockney Central aka Blackfriars
nice and elaborate. I counter with Sudbury Hill.
Announcing Ongar
...and introducing Bermondsey, reversing.
Stepping in through Lancester Gate.
ah. OK then, changes things a little. *thinks* Cannon Street.
Getting fired up - Monument
Swooping magnificently upon Northfields
Shuffling schemingly to Seven Sisters.
stuck at Euston for the last 9 weeks..........arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
BANK!
Since [widey] has Euston stuffed, I'll travel to Birmingham (Moor St) via Marylebone.
Having wed the french medial condyle of the humerus we move swiftly to a reception at Highgate to be reunited with distant relatives
Nipping up to the High Level station, I wait for a train to Alexandra Palace
Breaking into this throng of Knights of the Realm with Knightsbridge.
Taking a leaf from Sir Joe - Mudcute (sorry!)
.... er should read MUDCHUTE . . damned war wound
Sidling back in to Stockwell.
Holborn, raising overall LV by five points.
Ahem - Morningto . . . . hang on, is Haskin's Tally invoked? If so I'd better change to Victoria (handy for New Scotland Yard.
I would salute that move, except it's not very military, so I'll go to St. James' Park for the guards barracks.
King William St
Barons Court
Queensbury
Tottenham Court Road
S'easy Arsenal
Descending upon Great Portland Street with my ravening hordes following along behind me...
Waiting at Pontoon Dock for the railway to come
you might be waiting a while. New Cross, chav declared, and shunting ZK (wherever she is) to zone four.
Vauxhall [nights] sorry but you can't declare chav unless you can achieve a diagonal four vector leap - which isn't possible from Pontoon Dock, unless I am mistaken! Perhaps the new-ness of the station confused you?
Oxford Circus, without lions. [Sir H] you might be right. on the other hand, I might just be being an idiot. it's your call. n.
Denying chav at Knightsbridge.
Come on people what's poor old Chav done now?
Muswell Hill.
Roding Valley - natural counter I believe.
Pimlico [Major] which line would Muswell Hill be on then?
It's on the line between Highgate High Level & Alexandra Palace the other station being Cranley Gardens.
Island Gardens, narwhal amendment denied. [Major] thanks for clearing that one up...
Belsize Park
Aha! The dreaded Inverse with red uncovered! All players with red tokens are required to forfeit their Transport Card.
Oh, sorry... Latimer Road. I'd dozed off there for a mo...
don't worry mate. in the meantime, Knightsbridge.
what sort of move do you call that?
It's pathetic really...you should have used the Midland Railway's Harlesden for West Willesden and Stonebridge Park
[hugh] oh now that's not on. look at the rest of the page. does anyone else ridicule moves made by other people? thought not.

Brixton, inverting LV on Jubilee line via Hetherington Corrolary.
[Hugh] that's easy for you to say! I much prefer Essex Road.
nights] Well... *bites tongue*
Barons Court, shifting up a gear.
[Tuj] none of that, thank you.

Notting Hill Gate.
I say - Arnos Grove!
[nights] maybe I know who the other player is & this how we normally greet each other, and all this in Colindale
[nights] [Hugh]'s right I known the idiot for years, we used to go the school together near Holloway Road.
I stand corrected. And slightly bent over. Holborn.
All knights please rise. Brighton has been played, with odd numbered wheels scoring double points.
Aha - Earls Court double points all around and a pint of fosters (pref not cocked)
I shall lop my way across to Fairlop.
Rayners Lane, playing ping.
Since the clock has just chimed, I'm really left with no alternative other than Bank. Has anyone here ever played Stanley Random Chess? I would think it would appeal to dedicated MC players, since the same principles are applied to chess.
I declare home at Cannon Street and make a monumental opening move at Monument.
All northern stations are declared closed on account of snow. After enjoying a delightful Exhibition Game in a cafe, I move to Midland, rolling a double and so turning both wheels.
[santa] what a very festive link. you do realise, that people have had limbs removed for lesser acts of HTML excitingness...

And so to the matter at hand. I choose Baker Street, sideways and with a cucumber.
Oh no - drawn inexorably towards Monument . . does anyone smell burning?
Sir Henry] Yes, and it's Santa Claus. Well, he did put up a flashing hyperlink and it's been a long day...
Move? yes, OK: Lewisham, spreading flame coloured podumes.
Oops, that was a clumsy (accidental; br/hr) line... imagine it's not there...
