THE Mornington Crescent Thread

[Trophybloo]

Oh, very, dear!! Michaelmas is the 29th of September looks like that's you hors de combat for the best part of a year! However, in the worst part of a year where better to visit than Mudchute

[BrettMRC]

It's a bit early on a Thursday to be playing what is traditionally a Sunday gambit, but from here I can quite simply do a 1922 edition diagonal hop to Rotherhithe which should significantly reduce your options.

[angry jock]

Tally ho, tally ho!!

As it is the Thursday before the next Sunday, the sun is shining, I have my winkle-pickers on and I am carrying a badger, I wish to play a double harumph boss-eyed shunt. Tricky to keep ones balance I know....

Warren Street. MC in 2 good fellows!!

Ah, 'the best laid plans o' meece n men gang aft aglae'.

Pride goeth before a fall
Simba goes before the pride
Ladies before gentlemen
Pearls before swine

Loss of balance initiated by the verbosity gambit causes a reverse shunt to

Oxford Circus

Hmmm a tough conundrum that one!

Still, they do say: "When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping."

Diamonds being a girl's best friend, I plump for:

Hatton Cross

[probably chalk]

Old Wilberforce Hatton always was cross in my experience. Some say he held a grudge after his disqualification from the Runcorn Masters event in '78. Before my time obviously. Ahem...

Less than a week to All Hallwows Evening, as I need hardly remind you. So...

Elm Park

Elm Park

I'm sorry, but I have checked in the latest Hughes & Punting (available through all good book stores). Your reference to the Runcorn Masters was actually '79. 1978 was the Hilditch & Aguirre doubles win, over Spencer and Mills. If you check the documents Aguirre caused a little worry through her short skirts and new hair style, which was thought to distract the judges just when they were about to Reverse Shunt.

The correct counterpoint should be Westbourne Park.

[marshalla]

Hughes and Punting describes the Association game. I'm pretty sure we're dealing with an Institutional situation here. That would leave Belsize Park as the correct resolution under bye-law 57 and the Hague convention.

[Cunning Punt]

How can that be right? No one's pleaded parry, and neither Westbourne nor Belsize Park are systolic from Elm.

I must admit I'm a bit stumped here, so I shall hie me to knip and review my calculus.


ETA: on a brighter note, I see someone has turned the staircase in knip the right way up again.

Escher would be proud.
And nauseous.

Roding Valley serves my purposes rather nicely with the happy side effect of releasing CP from Knip. Obviously voluntary release of such a worthy opponent may seem tactically unwise however I assure you in this case it really doesn't matter...

Dollis Hill - by the SCENIC route.

[drivin_me_nuts]

I challenge your French Scenicery with a vehicle most flaky and moody in repost. Picasso, a crappy car named after an artist most over rated and a mere minnow overshadowed by the brilliance that is Dali.

Dali it is and Waterloo, for the old GLC and the lefty pinky ghosts in sensible shoes that once dominated the place.

A message to Bob Crow

Upney!

[Fer]

To show the power of advertising, Post Office.

[Wacky Racer]

After a rather long delay, invoking the Barrington Trumpington Smythe option, (Amended 1937), proceed to Baker Street, via Cockfosters.

[marshalla]

That's a reverse Threepwood! Well played, haven't seen one of them since the championship game of '92.

Heathrow Terminal 5.

[ManFromDelmonte]

Obvious next move: Borough

[DickyC]

Putney Bridge.

I thought I would put this here instead of starting a new thread.

Empty chair ? They clearly didn't got to the same recording that I did. She's lovely. A very game girl.

During the warm up she even told us the story about how she was down in the archives trying to track some former panellists and the archivists helped her by holding the ladder so she could reach the top shelf and look up address.


Anyhow.

Bank.


(P.S. - Humph always wanted to be known as "a purveyor of blue-chip filth", I don't see why Jack should do any less).
