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 can't believe I didn't get to take a turn and play Angel. I guess that's left to Mr C himself now.

And Sven asked for a double entendre so the barman gave him one.

Can we have a second memorial game?

Starting at Baker Street.

MangoSeason · 19/02/2022 12:15

Yes we can under the Winchester Precendent. Switchback to Barbican.

GonzoFlyingProducts · 22/03/2022 21:19

Hmmm, a switchback like that may cause you to shunt - so obviously - Putney Bridge.

PuddleglumtheMarshWiggle · 22/03/2022 21:39

Predictable, but it's time for my favourite move
Grange Hill.
Permissible when the moon is in the seventh house

Are you all playing the Yorkshire opening? In which case the horse will have nothing to eat in Hainault.

GonzoFlyingProducts · 22/03/2022 22:03

Yes but as it's a memorial game neccessarily it's an open variant so Embankment.

AgathaMystery · 08/08/2022 23:02

I’m invoking the Cribbins protocol so off we go again - High Barnet

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 09/08/2022 07:17

Leicester Square Hole

PuddleglumtheMarshWiggle · 09/08/2022 08:49

Following the Cribbins protocol surely means it has to be

Wimbledon!

balalake · 09/08/2022 08:52

Then a move to Wimbledon Park.

TheQueensCousin · 09/08/2022 09:14

Well if we're playing by the Yorkshire rules I'm going to jump in with Richmond (did you see what I did there?!). It's a circuitous route but one that should be allowed in Cryeresque style 🧐

HazelBite · 09/08/2022 10:48

I'm throwing a curve ball

Croxley!!!!

Cuck00soup · 09/08/2022 12:12

Surely we have to go to Wimbledon Common by way of Orinoco Junction?

There is no Wimbledon Common station so we are back at Croxley. Taking the rarely used curve I move to Rickmansworth.

HazelBite · 09/08/2022 16:21

Going the full curve Chalfont and Latimer!

balalake · 09/08/2022 19:28

Well I don't fancy a long journey in these temperatures, so it will be Amersham then.

TheQueensCousin · 09/08/2022 22:53

Going to do a short traverse to Kew, too hot to consider travelling further.

balalake · 10/08/2022 06:51

After sitting under the pergola there, I think it is not too hot at this time of day, so will move to Turnham Green.

mighteeaphroditee · 10/08/2022 07:30

Sorry if this throws a spanner in the works but I have tickets for the Fringe, so I'm invoking the Regional Expansion (though for the life of me, I can't remember which Protocol reverses it)

Thus...Edinburgh. Confused

balalake · 10/08/2022 09:45

It is a long time since the Regional Expansion was invoked, this could cause the panic that happened in the 1982 tournament.

So let's hotfoot to Kings Cross St Pancras.

Lysianthus · 10/08/2022 09:52

With another deferential nod to BC, Elephant and Castle

balalake · 11/08/2022 09:54

Let's move to Oval as I think BC liked cricket.
