Nice move sir bow However - does the DLR count?
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...

I'd need to consult Appendix 17.3.ix to be sure and I have to store appendices 15 to 20 offshore for the obvious reasons. But i think posting without making a move sees you in Knipp for two turns.

Harumph......it may be legal but its just not the thing a Gentleman would do......given the current conditions allow a Stoeply Hillingdon stand down, then onto Whitechapel would calm some nerves...

I don’t need to be in Knip for two turns because I haven’t utilised the Novak Drop.

Gotcha

Novak's left hand rule states that Victoria after Green Park is only valid if playing south of the river. I believe that invokes immediate disapprobation for three turns.

Under the very same rule though I am duty bound to point out that you have one legal play open to you, though its not without risk.

That can only be Vauxhall.

Haha. That leaves you stuck unless the Gonzales Spanish disambiguation applies.

Vauxhall, from that position... fiendish and jolly well done.

But there is still some charge left in the Thrumbleton Oscillator I purloined at the Billericay Open last year. If I deploy that now I should just make Pimlico.

I’ve been trying to explain this game to my 23 year old daughter. She is baffled I can remember all the complex rules, and currently googling the Harrington Feint. smile

Whilst she is researching I will employ it and double down

When she finally realises she's never going to understand it, could she explain it to me please?
Meanwhile, as I'm going around in circles why not add Old Street.

Old Street on a Sunday with Jupiter ascending? Bold Street more like because that's quite a move sir. I hope you know what you're doing because powerful forces have been unleashed.

It's either move to the core for safety in numbers or retreat to the wild lands to watch from afar...

I've made my choice - Charing Cross

Thought Old Street was safe in a roundabout sort of way, sounds like I'm getting stuck down Mudchute instead and dangerously close to Millwall.
