THE Mornington Crescent Thread

[Silent1]

I'm calling the taxi (post 1990) rule to move me from pimlico to kings cross thereby causing the jubilee line to be closed due to an outbreak of drunken homeless people

[toppstuff]

Ha !

As far as I can tell the Bovington accord of 1946 still applies, and therefore I can make use of both Parisian and London branch lines.

It is not officially open yet, but good old Dickie von Trumpel ( remember him? ) tells me that the channel tunnel does now connect to St Pancras international.

Granted , there are a few Polish builders in the way fixing up the plumbing at St Pancras but that never bothered Dickie Von Trumpel when he was batting for both sides back in 1943 and so I can go straight through them ( his German is very good you know) .

So, I call St Pancras via Rue St Honore with a brie sandwich and a cheap bottle of Beaujolais en route !

my my
tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how could I ever refuse, I feel like I win when I lose

i appear to be stuck at Waterloo - couldn't escape if i wanted to

In the spirit of the Swazliland-Butu-Butu Declaration of 1837, I skipped over the concourse of Piccadilly Circus, making a Shaka-Butu reverse and vaulted over the ticket barrier to go to Covent Garden without financial penalty.

I, therefore, claim Covent Garden to be my own on the 'Zulu's Thousands of 'em' adjudication of 1897.

Afraid not, it was overturned by a Honda Accord in August 1994.

And I'm still stuck in a queue at Bank. Bloody call centres.

In memoriam of this thread, I call a Dollis-Hill loop based on the Knightsbridge to Ongar Bob Crow buggeration rule of 2001.

I thought buggeration wasn't allowed in light of the PH post-2008 anti-inflammatory language ruling?

True, I guess I'll have to downgrade my Mornington Crescent in three to twenty-three due to the 'elf and safety commune ruling of 2007.

Am I able to call Paddington station, via the Swindon (GWR works) ruling of 1904

Nope it's still valid, you see on that day all the escalators at TCR and Oxford Circus were runnning in the down direction, yet Green Park and Victoria suffered an anti-crisis where all the escalators were running in the up direction.

It caused no end of mayhem at St Jame's Park as their escalators shutdown altogether and non of the staff could get into Channel Four Television without walking from Pimlico.

A sorry state of affairs I'm sure you'll agree, but the buggeration rule has been revoked.

Ah, I hadn't realised that buggeration is acceptable these days... It certainly wasn't an acceptable move for gentlemen when my original leather bound Torvolds was released.

Im going to ruff South Kentish Town. Ha.

If the committee will permit me - according to the latest edition of Stovold's the Rushton pardoxical shunting convention should permit a neat transverse loop across the parallels (which seem to be reversed now) even when the lifts are not operating, thus avoiding Nip and neatly placing me at :






Chalfont and Latimer

The expiration of my Oyster card has thrown me beyond civilisation as we know it. I am now at Hainault, waiting outside the Renault Dealership for the courier to bring my replacement. The trauma has caused my father's sister to run round and round in very small circles and all I can think is 'Oh, my giddy aunt...'

My part of the world - I live very close. However I do feel it incumbent upon me to inform you that it is no longer a Renault dealership; it has 'crossed the streams' so to speak to sell the wares of PSA; you therefore suffer a 'Contusion Confusion' for three turns.

Meantime the overbearing Frenchness makes it impossible for me to avoid Stade de Gerland, in Lyon.

You are Sir, a bounder and a cad. Have you no shame? Unauthorised switching to Mornington Croissant during the hours of darkness is exactly the sort of trick I should have expected - but doing it on a Sunday leaves me speechless.

I have little choice but to call Bristol Parkway - please note that shunting and straddling are completely unacceptable on this forum.
