THE Mornington Crescent Thread

[Turn7]

Isn’t it the case that the Piccadilly - Victoria junction is only applicable at times of “unrest”, which means that move is invalid.

One may then, using “Churchill’s Addendum” activate the junction and proceed.

However, Siddleys Fiifth Buttercup adendum also applies, so....... Maida Vale.....

I think you forgot the Hartley Flip (see version 56.7 para 3.4.56 of the advanced rules subset 4)

So I'll use it - Latimer Road

Invoking Newton's Hypotenuse, I get Victoria via Hammersmith - we could possibly be seeing Mornington within a couple of moves!!

Not if I have anything to do with it

Hammersmith!

Has nobody told you?

May God preserve us...

Heathrow Terminal 4

Chalk Farm

So close.

I assume you are referring to "It's A Thursday" the seminal treatise on the game by Von Stomplehomplehoff published in '79?

If so, yes I did consider it, I consulted it even. But given old Von only ever played on Thursdays I was willing to chance it.

Woodside Park

Rumours are currently rife that the Wagner Group leader is either dead or incarcerated in Russia. But we have it on good authority that he is held up at Snaresbrook so we are headed there via Stratford.

[caziques]

Matariki in NZ, therefore the ONLY move is.....Alperton.

If in doubt refer to Stovold's Mornington Crescent Almanac.

Every Friday I wake up and hope that people haven't fallen into the trap. But they do, every single time. EVERY SINGLE TIME.

The Grimbenberg Schlosssert trap.

Move three steps sideways to Gallions Reach.

Nice move sir However - does the DLR count?

Assuming it does - Canning Town

Canning Town? I was about to alight at Cannery Row but then realised there wasn't a station there.
Pulled the "ring pull" for an emergency stop.

[CheesecakeRunner]

It’s probably too early to play the High Stratagem 2 rules isn’t it? So no move to Curzon Street?

Guess it’ll have to be Euston, if I can make it there.

[BrettMRC]

Given the RIAT is getting going it make sense to saunter over to Hendon Central.

Magnum has just realised that he will have to go to his London office next week. This is annoying; the office is on Bressenden Place leaving him with very few choices. It's potentially a risky play, but: Victoria.

Do you work in the Nova building? I was Nova North

Green Park could also be a play for you

It could be. We're the other side of Bressenden Place; the building with Waitrose on the ground floor.

On that basis, I may play Green Park for a better walk to the office!

It does but frankly, it's a pretty amateurish move to be honest.

Anyway, if we've come to Chorleywood via Green Park, then I can finally invoke Hideaka's Logarithmic Loop Variation of 1982 and leap straight to Barkingside.

I've only been waiting about 14 years to do that...
