A little Mornington Crescent - anyone care to join in?

I just fancy a change of focus.

I'll jump right in with Great Portland Street - I think I'm entitled to do that, with it being beyond the autumn equinox, but before Halloween?

Any takers?

Cross referencing Sassh's Boshida convention with the double cross switch back, and applying the Scandinavian principle of simplicity, I play Stockholm Central. With a side lay to the Arlanda Express, so you can all make it to the airport and back to known lands. Watch for dragons....

Ah, just to honor him today of all days I'm going to invoke the Cressilda-Hawewel paradigm and go for Mile end.
Blessed are the blue.

So, Hainault via Newbury Park, due to the lack of escalators.

Ok, occam's razor strongly suggests that the next move, hopefully to set me up for a chance to win, is Hyde Park Corner.

Blimey charlie, are we still going?

In that case I think I might slip in a little cheeky Wembley Central before bed.

MrsWilliamBodie · 30/10/2013 00:22

Barkingside seems obvious, no?

Cailleach · 30/10/2013 00:34

Hendon, then. Not Hendon Central, mind... that would be a total rookie error from Barkingside, as any fule kno.

Leafrog to Ealing Broadway (as Aldwych is closed, and bypassing Down Street)

Curioustiger · 30/10/2013 06:40

Acton

JuliaScurr · 30/10/2013 07:03

Acton?
ACTON???
Have you gone collectively insane?
Aldwych is closed, or did nobody see Piglet's move?

Mornington Crescent.

Simple.

MaureensWhites · 30/10/2013 09:47

I don't know how to play.
If I boldly went in with Monument would I be making an utter arse of myself?

TheHeadlessLadyofCannock · 30/10/2013 10:38

Very disingenuous of you, Maureens Grin

You know very well that starting with Monument in the Diurnal Period (westerly) is a Very Good Idea Indeed.

But I can still invoke the Wilkins Amendment and make things more interesting by playing Bond Street.

Gosh HeadlessLady... have you pipped us all to the post? Are you relying on the Armitage variations? I though they didn't apply in odd-numbered years... does anyone know for sure?

TheHeadlessLadyofCannock · 30/10/2013 11:19

You can apply them to any year if you take into account Sharpe's Affidavit from 2006, remember?

MooncupGoddess · 30/10/2013 12:06

Of course Blush I am a bit weak on post-2000 developments, I must admit. Need to play more often to get myself up to speed.

Congratulations!!! Grin

MrsMeeple · 30/10/2013 12:48

Jolly well played there.

TheHeadlessLadyofCannock · 30/10/2013 14:55

Thank you all. How kind. [modest]

Shall we continue, though? Technically I made the last move (Bond St), so can't go again.

MooncupGoddess · 30/10/2013 15:01

Tbh I need a rest... it's been quite a ride with all the dramatic twists and turns. Maybe start a new thread in due course, HeadlessLady?

KittyFucker · 30/10/2013 15:06

Hats off to Headless!

Smile
MrsWilliamBodie · 30/10/2013 15:10

Well done Headless

what a corker.

TheHeadlessLadyofCannock · 30/10/2013 15:12

Honestly. Lightweights. Grin

TheHeadlessLadyofCannock · 30/10/2013 15:12

PS OP I really hope I didn't completely hijack. Didn't mean to; I just wanted to join in. Sorry if I took over. [guilt]

MooncupGoddess · 30/10/2013 15:18

On the contrary, Headless, we were flagging a bit until you galloped in and revitalised the thread. It has been a pleasure.
