In that case I shall play dirty. Stringfellow's Rules, and Cockfosters to you all!

ArabellaScott · 09/12/2020 20:10

I will second the challenge, it seems a bit unfair to saddle latecomers with the straddle, especially when they won't know to sit sideways or forwards or what to do with the ballast.

I believe that brings us back to Marlyebone, though I might be losing my touch!

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 09/12/2020 20:09

But Michelle, it's a Wednesday in Advent: Carruthers (1937) is clear that the straddle is legitimate.

MichelleofzeResistance · 09/12/2020 19:59

I am sorry but I have to challenge that move, Asking

You have come at it from behind without a recognised googly station, which makes it silly mid off.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 09/12/2020 19:54

Leaving the straddle for the picking. Oval.

Barbican. Classy.

Hmmm.

No, it's late and I'm tired. Machiavellian manoeuvres elude me. I'm going to have to go for the obvious.

South Kensington.

Nice reversal. In that case as it's a Wednesday in Advent, I'll go for the Barbican.

Sorry, my mistake, had forgotten the Mackerel protocol. Euston to Warren Street

highame · 09/12/2020 17:45

Mornington Crescent

MichelleofzeResistance · 09/12/2020 16:14

Damnit, that's Kensington blocked....

No option left but Camden Town.

The Mackerel protocol? During Advent? Hmm

[Mutters darkly about the yoof of today]

Crystal Palace.

Cockfosters to St John's Wood, obviously (using the Mackerel protocol).

Welcome back Kit.

ArabellaScott · 08/12/2020 18:36

Glad to see you back, Kit.

littlbrowndog · 08/12/2020 15:54

Hi kit

Good to see you back. 🍾

HecatesCatsInXmasHats · 08/12/2020 15:51

@Kit19

I got a ban after someone went back though my old posts and reported them so having just got back, I have to be careful now....
Hi Kit 👋

@AskingQuestionsAllTheTime :D

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 08/12/2020 15:43

It was real tragedy when they closed Mornington Crescent station for a while. Quite spoiled the game.

I once found we were playing it with real stations. (In a car, WaveWalker, but I know you weren't one of the other people in it.) I always get lost behind Euston.

MedusasBadHairDay · 08/12/2020 15:34

Oh I hate typing on my phone, autocorrect breaks everything

MedusasBadHairDay · 08/12/2020 15:33

I don't understand Morningside Crescent at all, and it still makes more logical sense than certain other posters today.

I'm only engaging because I needed some distraction today.

picklemewalnuts · 08/12/2020 14:50

Apologies, I've found the thread. Only twitter's gone 'poof' then.

picklemewalnuts · 08/12/2020 14:48

Sorry to jump in all unannounced but... did the UN post go? I was reading it and the Twitter thread, was called away, and on returning 'poof'! 'Twas like it had all been a dream.

ErrolTheDragon · 08/12/2020 14:12

Well, that's apt enough.

I'm hesitant about this one.... Canada Water

(I've had to expand my game a bit since I first played online in about 1984. The same period and set of forums where I realised feminism was still necessary)

@DannyGlickWindowTapping

I'm expecting a "crumbs!" or even a "criminy!" on some of those threads. Do we have a wide-eyed gormless innocent emoji?

In homage to the new posters and their threads, I will invoke Beginner for 10 clause 3 and take us to Barking.

Hear hear!
