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

Ah ha! Invoking the Sixty-Fifth Perorgative I can thus use the Green/Green Lateral loop moving to Wood Green and jumping with the double twang bonus to Cockfosters.

BZZZZZT! Repetition! But Rayners Lane will do me whether that last move was valid or not.
Euston while we're waiting to find out.
Caledonian Road seems like a good option from here. Now, if I can just avoid creating a vortex on the way through Holborn...
Dropping Line Velocity to 1.5 from 15 with the intention of causing board rotation as a result of kick-back inertia. This should take me off on a diagonal and shift me to the adjoining paraboloid, hopefully leaving me resting at Harrow on the Hill with the rest of you in confusion.
Not only in confusion but also in spoon. I shall retreat to Morden and await developments.
CHalfont & Latimer, waiting.
Have just been shunted into a siding at West Harrow. Come on, who was it?
innocent - I was quietly restacking my podumes at Southfields.
Out of shunt by shuttling to Rayners Lane.
Bank - L.V. generally 2 rising to 3 shortly.
Finally I'm able to re-enter (this is only my fifth move in this game despite playing the 9th move back in January 2003), Boolbar's Gants Hill really knocked me out ... two years I've been sitting on the sidelines waiting to play Oval ! Phew ! At last !
You're not leaving much choice for a new fellow! Earls Court I suppose then, despite it being a junior move.
Skittering to Wanstead. Sorry Blob, I don't think that does much for you, but I had to secure the potential peach podume point on the diagonal at Homerton.
I'll just drop in here with Colindale.
Employing Watson's Strategy to take a diagonal to Baker Street thus impeaching the Jubilee Line to the river.
Dropping by with Clapham Common to sidle out via a broken ticket barrier.
London Bridge, bonuses applied for (six week wait expected).
[Blob] I see you are back! Gants Hill
Boolbar] Or at least was... Pudding Mill Lane, knip invoked on IJB.
Ouch! Heading South to Green Park to chill out, leaving a Henderson Expansion as a parting gesture. Deal with it as you will.
The 1833 Half Scrotum to Battersea Park. (...Not very inventive, though)
Hmm. Kentish Town, hoping my scrotum is a whole one.
What are you people on?
[Efros] The 18.42 from Sanity, calling all stations to Madness Junction.
Calling Kathmandu Time with a line to Timbuktu
The Dark Side of the Moon
Ooh, a tough one to follow. I'll have to bifurcate to A Night At The Opera/A Day At The Races.
Going mad with Locust Abortion Technician / Trout Mask Replica
Taking my prudhommes to Piccadilly Circus where I intend to go to Starbucks.
EUSTON!!
Angel
Inexplicably found an orange podume, so on to Canada Water. Hey, don't shoot the messenger.
Ah, remembering Stratagem 3: Revenge of the Stovold I'd have to pick Morden.
day? night? dark? light? That leaves Temple on the right.
A rather rapid Victoria.
out of patience, Blackfriars
Not again... Tooting Bec
En route Paddington
back to the Circle with Sloane Square
missing the point completely, BANK!
Aldwych please
(Still awaiting developments four months later) *Farkle*.
I'd better °farkle° as well.
Turnham Green!
uhm... Lewisham, sideways, for three and then three more.
Gordon Bennett, I haven't been here for a couple of years! How are the lot of you, loathsome spongers to the lot!...have half a crown and Morden
why hello Little Jim. I think you'll find I am not a sponger, being closer to a leech in technique. Turnham Green.
Redbridge
New Cross Gate, keeping powder dry for now. Well...if seven years between moves isn't dry I don't know what is.
Impressively dry, that. And still a good aggressive move after it! Gallions Reach
Which puts me on a unicycle somewhere north of the river, looks like Mile End.
Highbury & Islington, straddling the Chelsea-Hackney Line and the East London Line extension, a move so staggeringly illegal it glows in the dark.
Woah. It's silenced the game for THREE WEEKS, it was that staggeringly illegal. I suppose I have no choice but to BZZZZZZZZZT! for Offside!
Right, on with the game then? A throw-in to Gants Hill.
passed to Pimlico, which I spelled with two 'p's a minute ago. heh.
...and driven boringly down the left wing to Arsenal
Hmm. This one needs some energy. I suggest a non-tactical bifurcation with spiral tendencies: Oval / Alperton. Hopefully people will try to deal with this problem rather than running away, but then tactical bad play always was risky...
Seven Sisters / Ongar. not a lot else to be said there.
Which leaves me cornered: Paddington (Circle)/Tower Hill. May as well yodel for a bit.
Oops, ah well. I seem to do this a lot. Ravenscourt Park / Ravenscourt Park, one heading north, the other south. I feel a little lost already.
Enforced lapse in play means I can reunify at Finsbury Park. Thank heavens for that!
Do I detect the faint, tinny smell of another zeroed line velocity in quadrant five? Bromley By Bow it is, then.
Cheeky play Botherer, though you've reversed the LV and I can shunt you to Leytonstone via Turnham Green for your troubles. Sorry!
Negative LV? Now there's a novelty.
Which leads me, neatly, to White City of course.
I see another four months have passed. Time for some decisive action, methinks. * Farkle *
Taking a tentative leave of absence from east London and sodding off to Tooting Broadway for last orders. Mate in three.
Herne Hill collecting unused toots.
Time to invoke the Third Left-Handed Rule of Dominance - Archway
East - West moves, followed by some unused toots & some Left Hand Dominance... getting rather kinky in here...
Which leaves no choice but Pontoon Dock invoking the new DLR route rule!
So there!
Royston Vasey a local move for local people.
A strange situation...nearly enough for the Waterloo & City line to be diddled, which has never happened in my lifetime. Sudbury Town out of sheer fear.
After 3 changes of underwear... Rhyffedd Coed, just in time for 'Snowdon Ranger' to arrive, with the mid-day summer special service.
I'll just change to a new suit thanks, with a step towards Alexandra Palace
In that case York Road
By jove, I just broke my red podume in surprise. Misses turn.
Well that leaves me with no choice but... Ludgate Hill and let that be a lesson to you!
Anyone mind if I just jump right in with both feet and a non-skid buffer, i'll make my play to Surrey Quays
Oh my goodness - I've been asleep. Sorry everyone, Croxley.
(Playing what seems to be my annual move in this game) - Pimlico side-swiping Salamander Pudding. One purple podume please.
Take yer' podume and off with you. That being my last purple I feel I am no longer safe on the defense in the southern regions. Whitechapel seems the only safe bet and may get me into a more balanced offensive set. As today is Little Ricky Day (Marking the arrival of Little Ricky on I Love Lucy in 1953) I believe I am entitled to three Red podumes from each of you.
[SP] Three Red you say? You're welcome - I wasn't using them anyway. Oh well, new year, new strategy. * Farkle *.
Oh dear, I'm stuck between Bank and Monument. How the hell did that happen?
Mill Hill to put it simply...
Just to see if this thing is still awake Knotty Ash.
Seven Sisters, bifurcation wild.
I'll bifurcate away then, as is my wont: Warren Street / Kilburn.
Liverpool Street / Tower Hill HA-HA! Take that. Winning is finally in my grasp.
Am I too late to join the long game...I have a 'get into St Johns Wood Free' card?
Oh my, everyone's welcome in the Long Game. While I'm here, Cannon Street / Walthamstow Central.
Well then - I'll play my 'get into St Johns Wood Free' card, and bifurcate the move, placing equally 4 red counters and 3 yellow squibs on St Johns Wood and Finchley Road. Not too bold a first move I hope?
Poplar / Swiss Cottage, obviously.
Camden Town / Seven Sisters, not so obviously.
Ahhhh! A little lateral thinking suggests the not so lateral Dollis Hill
Damn you tube station, you! Dollis Hill.
