THE Mornington Crescent Thread

I think I've made a terrible mistake, hoping I don't end up with a points deduction. Finsbury Park.

You will be fine as Queens special dispensation applies currently. Knightsbridge

Pollen levels a bit more manageable today, so the Wapping caveat applies.

[DRFC1879]

Ha! I've been waiting for someone to cite the Wapping Caveat. It's a common misconception that it applies only on low-pollen days. The rule was changed in 2014 but as it was an addendum to the Canning Town embargo it slipped through pretty much unnoticed. Of course the embargo came to an end within a few weeks but the Wapping caveat change remained in place. Anyway all that trivia, no matter how interesting is pretty irrelevant when I'm playing Morden.

The Canning Town embargo was a deliberate, falsely added, erroneous, misleading ruse perpetuated by the Wapping Caveat. It has caused myriad problems. May they rot in Cockfosters, (Without the by pass ruling).

That is completely over the top but valid.
Back to Cheslyn Hay rules

On a Friday? You're having a giraffe. In that case, I claim the ZSL Dispensation and call Regents Park.

[Road2Ruin]

It's about time someone said it...Bow Street and I am not even ashamed.

[Gecko1978]

I had wanted to take part as I had just received that latest leatherette bound rules with silk divider but sadly it feel from my pocket which I believe occured at Holborn

[caziques]

Pimlico variant - Woodside Park.

To celebrate Charles and Diana's wedding anniversary, I have consulted the 1982 Handbook, the third addendum, and call Blake Hall.

You are of course aware the addendum to the rules, postulated in 1992 and finalised 1996 superceeded said hand book and thus I believe we are chalk farm

Not with a TravelCard you don't! I suggest you go back to Finsbury Park and try again.

Ah but the recent update to the Wembley Stadium Capacity Rules enabling women to wear trousers to the Henley Regatta means that Finsbury Park is now temporarily closed and the only recourse is to move to Cockfosters

Brompton Road

Wow that was impressive use of tantric delay.
Russell Square
