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

But if it’s cricket you crave, let’s mosey over to

St John’s Wood

Fearful as I might be of a Bakerloo Redress, nevertheless:

Turnham Green

Nicely done, Ken, nicely done. Following Pilkington’s Protocol, I am now aiming for

Clapham North

Very subtle, Maud. I’m impressed as always.

West Brompton

That’s kind of you, DuckOnABike, but I know you’ve been playing the game of games at least as long as I. Weren’t you in Toulouse in ‘74?

Goodge Street

A zone 1 after a zone 2! Astounding form there Maud! I feel unworthy but can I offer a free pass to Liverpool St?

A shrewd move to Holland Park (there be dragons). But with the diagonals open and no apparently danger of ending up in Nidd:

TURNHAM GREEN

Ooops - replied to the end of page eight and repeated the move to Turnham Green without realising there was a page nine. Have I caused an Eddington?

Oh, Gonzo. We’re teetering precariously on the brink of an Eddington but I think I can fix it with a horizontal reverse brake to

Victoria

Well that's a relief!

Let us move to Northfields, possibly more fresh air and less noise given the cancellation of flights because of some contre-temps across the Channel.

If its fresh air you want how about Roding Valley

(Don't threaten me with Nidd for that move!)

If it’s fresh air we seek, I can think of nowhere better than

Tooting Bec

I was hoping everyone had forgotten about Toulouse in 1974 actually Maud. With hindsight, the strippergram may have been a mistake. Jolly good sausages though.

Ealing Common

Those of us who were there are unlikely to forget Toulouse, although several years in a Swiss sanatorium did reduce the anguish of the maitre d’ and that poor scout master who had the misfortune to be in the foyer when, well, you know what happened.

Hackney Downs

You cannot keep looking back time to make new memories, scale the heights, etc, thus I will move to Canary Wharf

Ah Toulouse, les trois jours à Nidd, le brouillard, les cris terribles du maître scout. Je pensais seulement que j'avais été mieux préparé pour la strip-teaseuse (si vous voyez ce que je veux dire). Personnellement, je pensais que la saucisse était un chef-d'œuvre, mais la société végétalienne naissante organisant son festival annuel de la tristesse n'était pas contente.

St James' Park (for Petty France)

Ah. I see what you've done there @GonzoFlyingProducts very nifty.

However, I have been here/there before.

Cutty Sark for Maritime Greenwich

Yes, a transparent ploy from Gonzo there, but it does inspire me to search for la vie en rose in the balmy environs of

Maida Vale

I think you may be disappointed in Maida Vale, not the same since the great debate there in 1998 about the use of a lateral.

Bayswater

Acton Town, Acton Central, North Acton and West Acton. A full house. Read 'em and weep suckers!

Ah the excellent Acton Gambit, I once saw it played in reverse - caused chaos that lasted until Samantha had to step in. And speaking of Samantha;

CLAPHAM

Ah, Samantha is a lively girl and so gregarious. Last time I saw her, she was playing the trombone in a crowded but very seedy bar in

Penge West

No musical instruments required to move to Shadwell using the London Overground rule.

Purists of the game of games like to overlook the Overground rule, (as I am of advanced years) I consider myself a purist therefore, back on track, to Queens Park
