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?

I wouldnt dare diss your library Mooncup - I only reference the fact that you may not have it as your spelling is generally perfect and you would therefore have little need for....

Oh MC called. Well done you! A nice bottle of single malt speyside (virtual of course) from everyone to you.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 29/11/2013 16:58

Well done, MooncupGoddess. Please also accept this tasteful bouquet. Flowers

MooncupGoddess · 29/11/2013 17:41

Thank you, Maud and Albert. It is a proud day for me.

A well-played game all round, with some masterful moves. I think we all deserve a celebratory single malt (or perhaps Wine given the baffling lack of a Glenfiddich emoticon).

AlbertGiordino · 29/11/2013 20:07

glenfiddich? better be the 18 or you'll have gone down a notch in my estimations mooncup

GuybrushThreepwoodMP · 29/11/2013 20:39

Very well played Mooncup. You've got some serious moves there.

MooncupGoddess · 29/11/2013 23:22

Of course the 18-year-old, Albert. Though actually I am more of an Islay sort of girl. Bowmore 15-year-old... Ardbeg... or perhaps a nice Lagavulin...

Anyway. Anyone fancy starting another round?

TheHeadlessLadyofCannock · 30/11/2013 17:10

Oh, I missed it! Heartfelt congratulations, Goddess. That Caledonian Road move set you up nicely. Played with brio.

Right then.

Tottenham Hale.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 30/11/2013 17:36

And off we go again. Using the Barnsley Precedent, I will play

Brixton

MiniMonty · 03/12/2013 01:33

The Barnsley Precedent, interesting. That would leave the entire District line wild for three moves - what the hell:

Putney Bridge

TheHeadlessLadyofCannock · 03/12/2013 09:42

What the hell indeed, Mini! That's a very flamboyant move. I like it.

I'm taking Uptrimble to go to Cannon Street.

AlbertGiordino · 03/12/2013 11:11

wahey!!! Xmas Biscuit

Cockfosters

TheHeadlessLadyofCannock · 03/12/2013 14:13

Cockfosters when Barmingham's Conundrum is in play can only mean...

Wood Lane!

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 03/12/2013 17:29

Hmm

Westminster

MooncupGoddess · 03/12/2013 18:06

Playing it safe for now:

Oval

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 03/12/2013 20:58

I'm going to take a gamble on Newton-Wadsworth and go to

Oxford Circus

FrankelInFoal · 03/12/2013 21:23

Well played Maud, you nearly forced me into a Knip! I spotted your trap though, so go with

Vauxhall

TheHeadlessLadyofCannock · 04/12/2013 09:42

I was thinking about Knip too, Frankel. Nicely avoided.

I quite fancied a Long Skimp, BUT with the Jubilee low I'm not sure that's the best idea.

No, I'm going to go for Barons Court instead. Following Hempel, not Schatz, obviously.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 04/12/2013 18:52

Hmm. Clearly, I need to raise my game.

High Street Kensington.

MooncupGoddess · 04/12/2013 21:03

Hmm. It's Advent now, which means I can play

Whitechapel

FrankelInFoal · 04/12/2013 21:51

As it's almost Christmas surely we should be playing Bethlehem Rules? In which case I go with Shepherd's Bush for double points.

FrankelInFoal · 04/12/2013 21:54

As an aside, a perfect little stocking filler perhaps?

MooncupGoddess · 04/12/2013 22:01

Very good, Frankel. I simply have to counter with Angel.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 05/12/2013 04:26

I have that very book! My next move is

Euston Square

AlbertGiordinHoHoho · 05/12/2013 08:52

Bethlehem rules eh? Nice onre Frankel, I'm going to have to do a inverse shit to

(Three) Kingsbury
