In honour of the great BC I'm starting at Monument and I've got the genius edition out. Doing the Lambeth walk to the tune of agadoo.

I'll be taking my swanee whistle down to Embankment then.

PatriotCanes · 28/01/2022 20:17

You'll have had yer tea then?

Are we evoking Keith's rules on the diagonal?

gracewitt · 28/01/2022 20:20

Royal Oak.

Cuck00soup · 28/01/2022 20:23

Ooh It's quite late to be out with a Swanee whistle. Quite louche for a Friday.

Dougal and I had tea together in celebration.

Pinner.

Clapham North.

It's what he would have wanted.

BlackeyedSusan · 28/01/2022 20:29

Clapham Junction

BlackeyedSusan · 28/01/2022 20:29

Are we playing in nip?

Eloraa · 28/01/2022 20:29

I’ll take a Burrington to Elephant and Castle.

Oh he will be missed!

AgathaMystery · 28/01/2022 20:33

Bit early for Clapham but if you insist. I’m going to play my joker and use the Bakerloo hypothesis. Rickmansworth

Tarrarra · 28/01/2022 20:33

I’m making an audacious jump to South Kensington… make of that what you will.

RepentMotherfucker · 28/01/2022 20:34

Aha!

Kennington!

RIP.

I’m assuming we’re playing the Yorkshire variation rules in his honour.

If so: Parson’s Green

Cuck00soup · 28/01/2022 20:38

Fair point about the Yorkshire variation. I think we should also take the Leeds elevation into consideration.

Augmented Vector to Belsize Park

Had to go back on myself because the parrot threw a tantrum.

Having a mosey through to Imperial Wharf.

Keith’s waiting.

Tempusfudgeit · 28/01/2022 20:39

I'm invoking the Stephenson Manoeuvre with a cheeky sideways leap to Elephant and Castle.

RIP, Sir.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 28/01/2022 20:39

Monument

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 28/01/2022 20:40

Under the Derbyshire Huff. Obvs.

Eloraa · 28/01/2022 20:41

As we’ve had Monument, it’s only polite to Cannon Street.

LynnThese4reSEXPEOPLE · 28/01/2022 20:52

Controversial, but ... Green Park.

AgathaMystery · 28/01/2022 20:58

Didn’t want it to come to this so early in the night but going to excuse the Yorkshire Variation and head to Piccadilly Circus

Cuck00soup · 28/01/2022 21:03

Sorry, but I'm going to play a Lyttleton's conversion. Keith is worried that there's no stopping at Arnos Grove.

Did anyone bring their copy of Edward's variation?

OP posts:
AgathaMystery · 28/01/2022 21:05

We stopped using Edwards in 2011. Remember you can’t use it for 17 years after the future Prince of Wales has got wedded.

SouthOfFrance · 28/01/2022 21:06

Can't believe noone has gone for Bank so far, so I'll say, Bank.

FasterthanBolt · 28/01/2022 21:07

My boss was very surprised that I knew who BC was and even more shocked that I know the rules to this fine game. So, I will play Raynes Park.

SoMuchToBits · 28/01/2022 21:10

I'm impressed that my 21 year old ds told me the news of BC's passing. So I'll go Newbury Park in honour of all those rail replacement bus services we have done together.
