It might on the Northern Line but eventually we all go to Mornington Crescent!

[TragicMuse]

Quickly setting up the new thread before we run out on the previous!

The prop forward did not describe it as a fracas. I suspect it was one of the times of his life. One does feel for the mezzo-soprano though. I think she mainly performs outside the UK these days?

Kew Gardens

Oh. Well…

Bank. Naturally.

I can only play an alternating half to Notting Hill Gate. (pace Teddington 2015).

Ah, the gauntlet has been thrown down. In riposte, I offer a spliced transverse (2004 version) to

St John’s Wood

Oh, I didn't see that coming. I need to mug up on the 2004 manual; I'd forgotten that one. Well played!

A top-loaded Miyake to Seven Sisters

You do realize that the typo in the very important position in the second imprint of the 2004 manual has created over two decades of chaos? What a difference the omission of a comma can make!
A Scottish play to Caledonian Road.

Yes, I know about the typo. I discovered it when I tried to play a back-handed left to a District Line station (I forget the details; it was a cocktail-hour game at the second bassoonist's lovely house). People may have been slightly merry but they did not let me get away with that one.
Bow Church

Demon-players, even in their cups!

Turnpike Lane. Only possible with a jabot I’ve been saving for just such an occasion…

Apostrophes are also important in the game of games. Thankfully not needed if you move as I do to Southgate.

Indeed they are, Llyn. Do you remember the terrible scenes when a formal invitation to a tournament at Garsington was found to contain a redundant apostrophe? There was a retired civil servant present (I won’t name names) who became so angry that I feared there would be bloodshed, until the Archdeacon managed to placate him with a well-chosen cocktail.

Wood Green

Many of the tensest moments in the game of games have been calmed, I notice, by the judicious introduction of a cocktail or two. Speaking of which:

Holborn

I am sure that somewhere near to Hyde Park Corner a suitable cocktail could be found.

'well-chosen' is certainly one word for the Archdeacon's cocktails.
Grange Hill

I believe the Archdeacon learnt all he knew from a particularly lively part of his life at the Criterion Bar. Before taking the cloth, of course. I gather he’s still handy with a muddler.

Piccadilly Circus. Naturally! How could one pass up such an opportunity?

There are pictures of the Archdeacon as he was in those heady days, if you know who to ask.
Lovely move; I do admire a well-executed Plinth Second. Brava!
I'm going to say Moorgate

And then Bank. On the perpendicular, obviously.

St Pauls'. Maybe we will find the Archdeacon there.

Oh we are getting to the business end now.
A Parson's Vortex to Sudbury Hill

Ooh, you stumped everyone there, Always!

Let’s see if I can rescue the situation with a Jennings Brace to Northwick Park. Haven’t had occasion to use one of those in a long while ….

A good move on the first day back on GMT, @DuckonaBike .

Time for a short move then, before the Major gets wind as he did in the 2001 tournament when this move was played and he took to the gin far too early- Northwood Hills.

Does the Major need an excuse to start before the sun is over the yardarm?

Marylebone. I believe it meets the current rules vis-a-vis stations on the 2nd move following a Jennings Brace...
