Is anyone up for another game of Mornington Crescent?

[Flopjustwantscoffee]

I don’t know if we need to apply the rule relating to bilateral diagonal moves or not in the present circumstances...

Oh-ho! Blowing the dust off the old Shotts-Bryce manoeuvre, eh? Good show! That means it has to be a Fairies’ Footsteps to Bank.

Ooh, are we pigging the Central Line? I’ve read about it, of course, but never seen it done in a live game. How thrilling.

Notting Hill Gate.

Sneaky, Esteban!

Under the Parsons Memorial Triplet, I'm going with Cannon Street.

You all seem to have come to terms with the new rules. However, I’m going to hark back to the glory days of ‘76 and play Green Park.

Outraged that these new fangled rules only permit a Trumpington Curve on the third Tuesday of the month! How is one supposed to retain one's recognised mastery of the move with such restrictions? The game has been ruined by petty tinkering. I have sent a strongly worded Missive to the Council and woken up the Brigadier. This will not end well...
I play a furious forward fankle to Moorgate and await developments.

Bank!

I didn’t realise there was a conçurent game of Monopoly running?

I think I’ll take advantage of the ore-noon ‘36 amendment and try Hainault

Ugh, that’s a dastardly use of ‘36, Hippo, but I must grudgingly applaud your chutzpah.

Let’s open it up again with a diagonal cross-back to Clapham North.

Diagonal cross-back only allowed under regulation 72 rules. I don’t think anyone has invoked them yet.

Only in the most literal readings of Featherstonehaugh, I believe, but I’ll withdraw that play gracefully.

A pedestrian but uncontroversial move to Kilburn it is, then.

Gosh!

Parsons Green

I'll take the Tuesday route to Stratford.

@PaulinePetrovaPosey it’s not Tuesday? Is is acceptable to take a Tuesday route to Stratford on Wednesday. It might be acceptable in the rules, but it’s just not cricket. Barons Court.

Doh! I'm on Mat leave and I have no idea about dates.

I'll take a penalty Alperton.

Leaving the game wide open for me to go for Southwark. Cheers!

Being the hipster that I am, I feel almost duty-bound to spearhead that most trendy of plays; the Fotheringhay Manoeuvre. Which naturally leads us to...

Walthamstow Central.

Well, it is being gentrified, after all.

Ooh can I play? It's been 25 years since I left London to move to Yorkshire so I am terribly rusty, so I'll go for an old fave as it's a fairly safe bet;

Caledonian Road

I’m not sure I can follow that. I think I’m going to have to play my wildcard.
Warren Street.

Goodge Street.

I see your wildcard and raise you an even wilder card, the veritable tiger of cards given its ominous name and the fear that it brings to arborists across the nation, ^Burnt Oak*.

Burnt Oak even, however I see that I have been usurped by a usurper. I will head to the gallows immediately.

Oh dear, I fear you’re going to regret that very unwise move as I come right back at you with... Arsenal.

Madness! I will save the game by moving us to Southfields.

If we are playing Madness rules it must be
Camden Town

Oh interesting interpretation of the madness rules there but I can see the precedent -
Ok - Turnpike Lane
