A pre-festivities sharpener of Mornington Crescent?

[MarkWithaC]

Unfortunately I was absent for the thrilling climax to the game yesterday, and offer belated congratulations to LlynTegid. It's not often you see that move deployed with such laser-like accuracy.
A last hurrah before we all disperse for our traditional mid-winter break? (I'm for the Canaries this year with the curate and his new-ish special friend, a dear young man).
I'll start us off with a good invigorating Hudson's Cast: Goodge Street.

I don't think I've seen anyone attempt an Obverse with that sort of angle. Round of applause!

I'll essay a full Maltese to Island Gardens.

I think we need the help of the Elizabeth line rule here once we have got to Canary Wharf, to move to Tottenham Court Road.

I pride myself on my angles, Mark, as you may recall.

Stockwell

I wasn't going to say in polite company but, yes, I do recall.
South Kensington

No need to be so coy, Mark. I was and remain very proud of my winning performance in the talent contest at the Eastbourne playoffs in ‘97. Nobody had offered a trapeze act before or since.

Barons Court

Ah, I see, you meant those sorts of angles, not the ones we were talkign about that time with the Flight Lieutenant— <<shuts up>>

Bow Road

I'm going out on a limb here (quite a bold move I think)
Cockfosters

I like your style, HazelBite!

Ravenscourt Park

Sets me up nicely for a Wazzock’s Belter to Kensington (Olympia). A robust move, but sometimes finesse is unnecessary, as I’m sure Mark can confirm. Or if he can’t, the Flight Lieutenant can.

I see everyone’s losing their inhibitions as it’s Saturday night. I shall enter into the spirit of things with a diagonal shunt to

Edgware Road

I'm injecting a feeling of calm into this now Wood Green ( I think it got a bit raucous on here last night)

I've missed a lively weekend, haven't I?!? I was unavoidably offline, trying out one of those off-grid cabins, somewhere in the New Forest. It's the retired curate's new little project. They're charming, although I did have to gently tell him that the artworks he's chosen for the sleeping area are possibly a little... niche in their appeal.

Bermondsey (frontlined).

PS Duck, Finesse was, oddly enough, the name of the Flight Lieutenant's favourite bar in Shanghai back in the day. I was never invited but apparently it had quite an eye-opening downstairs area, if you'll pardon the expression.

Let's move to London Bridge.

Yes, good move, Llyn.

Mile End, using a half-cocked Punt.

The only reply to that is Embankment

Oh, I say!

Temple

Saw that one coming, Hazel! Lovely.
Bond Street. And yes, I realise the risks, but bearing in mind the amendment in MC: Them's the Rules (Or Are They?) autumn 2017 to the Hammersmith and City exception should see us right.

Very risky @MarkWithaC but genius! I can only counter with Goodge Street otherwise I could end up in Nidd!!!

The Northern line can be full of traps for the wary player of the game of games.

With the aid of the Elizabeth line rule I move to Paddington.

You're too kind, Hazel. I can only credit dear Lord Tabernackle for introducing me to Them's the Rules, on a rainy day at the MC and Croquet jubilee in Lyme Regis back in 2016. He is a very enlightening man in many ways...

But anyway.
St James's Park (reverse latitudinal)

Hmm. Of the several options open to me, the best seems to be

Turnham Green

Very clever not to go for the obverse there, Maud, as I think a lesser player might have.

I'll take an Individual Bengt to Snaresbrook.

It’s a tricky one, so I think the safest option is to go wide with Theydon Bois

Oh, darling, darling Theydon Bois. Now let’s get moving:
