A little Mornington Crescent - anyone care to join in?

[OverAndAbove]

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?

Bounds Green on a Tuesday. before the Chinese New Year is very dangerous, bordering on reckless play toaster your only saving grace is the avoidance of that of which we do not speak....

i humbly offer mudchute by way of finch's paradigm

I'd clean forgotten about the Incident. I hope my move didn't contribute to that Dollis Hill blip.

I'll be careful and just Cronk, widdershins, to Piccadilly Circus.

Oh botheration, Wankwings, that Cronk has put me straight into Nidd.

No, Goddess, you're fine! I'm not so careless. That Hollingsworth from a few moves ago lined up an Apsewards Bunk. That's why I went for Piccadilly Circus instead of, say, Sloane Square, which LOOKS at first glance like a similar move but, with the Bunk, would have been pretty disastrous.

Hmm. Are you sure? I thought Macaulay's 1934 Commentary on Hollingsworth was pretty definitive on the issue...

I'm pretty sure, yes. Macaulay doesn't devote much space to this and what it does say is technically only in relation to Piccadilly Binding, from which Sloane Square has always been exempt.

OK, I'll take your word for it, and essay an elegant gibe to Lambeth North.

Glad to see we are out of danger. I think a reverse triple shunt to Colliers Wood would consolidate the position.

and from there, the sensible move would be a plant into Bow Church

And from there a triple jink to

Stanmore

Bow church to stanmore? ... That gives me a double move!
"Hackney central " hackney wick" leaving out homerton for obvious reasons..

After a lot of thought I'll use Tobermory’s Stratagem and play Chalfont & Latimer.

Swift move to " Kenton " but now I've made the next move a bit too easy

speed research leads to Archway being proposed.

Hmm. Very challenging. I'll opt for

Pimlico

Was going to play Bethnal Green but remembered we are now in February just in time. Playing safe - Chalk Farm.

I think a fair gimble to Bank evens the board up a bit IYSWIM....

Bother, I missed the weekend's action and see I've let an opportunity to play a Fandeagle slip through my fingers.

Never mind. That Bank gimble means that if I call a quarter-mark I can take us all to Euston Square, and as long as the Hampton Convention prevails, MC in about six or seven.

Look whats happened...that leaves only one move (if we are to go by the former rules of shappleton) ...Baker Street.
If not following these rules then MC is not in sight.

Aha. Some very innovative play here, so I will abide by the Antwerp Convention rules and perform a double Tharp to

Kennington

Ah - I think then I really need to play the 1983 variation on the transverse Mountain gambit to Farringdon.

Very nice move there.

Don't you have one up your sleeve, Maud? I think there's an opportunity to Trifect there that would be right up your street.

But seeing as the field is wide open, I'll call Pinscher Time so I can play Harrow & Wealdstone.
