Mornington Crescent rides again

[ComeIntoTheGardenMaud]

To nobody’s surprise, the frantic pace of this latest game means that the last thread is full and (as far as I can see) <polishes lorgnette> we don’t yet have a successor. So, off we go with a Brunswick Lateral to

Russell Square

I wonder what has happened to the Colonel and the nice player from Golders Green?

Latimer Road

The nice player from Golders Green hasn’t been seen here for several years. I hope that’s not related to the Colonel’s habit of pressing opposing players to join him in another bottle of absinthe. Perhaps if we sent up a flare he might find his way back here?

Ruislip Gardens

Maud, you force my hand here. Sorry but it can only be the Tulipomania concession. Holland Park here we come.

A daring move, Wolves. I’m going to see if I can scupper it with a reverse to Ealing Common

How well you know me, Wolves. At this time of year, I am obsessed with all things tulip.

Westbourne Park

As there is clearly the wrong kind of snow on the line to perform a reverse Hugh's manoeuvre:

Kew Gardens

Hello all!

I am on a jaunt to parts Northern. And I don't mean High Barnet.

As we are blanketed in snow I am playing Hampstead Heath. Always good for a bit of sledging.

Sledging always make me think of that lesser game, cricket, and so

Oval

I'm going with the 1992 Metropolitan manoeuvre so Watford

Watford is bold but I see your stratergy - preparing a hydraulic braking shunt - but I think i can fox you with:

BRIXTON

Good, Gonzo, but not quite good enough

Clapham North

Curses - I would have got away with it if wasn't for those meddling diesel electrics - I'll retreat to

SLOANE SQUARE

Some devilishly cunning play this evening. I think I can manage a Fosbury Flop to Edgware Road.

Following Galileo’s law of free fall, this fine Sunday morning, I find myself drawn at a rate of 9.8 meters per second squared to

Acton Town

I continue further west to Osterley. Always a nice view from the train when you travel there from Acton Town.

The absinthe suggestion concerns me.

As indeed it should, LlynTegid. One day, someone will write a book about the influence of absinthe on the game of games, and vice versa.

Royal Oak

I believe someone has, Maud, but the lawsuits are still ongoing. I can’t say any more because of the super injunction.

Shepherds Bush Market

Sunday trading laws are in play. That's IN play.

Which means...OH! Of course!

Bond Street.

It is true, DuckOnABike, that the world of MC can be somewhat litigious. Some resort to the law to suppress the truth, whilst others use it to reveal it.

Swiss Cottage

If John Betjeman was still around, he would probably want to make the next move, to a part of Metroland.

Dollis Hill

Ah Metroland.......Pinner

The Lucky Eights rule says Chalfont & Latimer, and I’ll brook no argument.

Can Invoke KLAFF or are we pre box set conventions ?

Well as we are in Metroland and at Chalfont and Latimer, the closed lines rule can be invoked and a move to Verney Junction.

Hmm. Difficult, but not impossible now.
