By Willie Rushden's ghost, I believe this entitles me to combine the Fischer and Helsinki maneuvers in one turn. May God preserve us...

Totteridge and Whetstone

All well and good, except for the not so minor objection that Willie Rushton made it plain that there was no sensible question to which T&W could ever be a remotely correct answer…

I've been diagnosed with Sudden Onset Crescentitis.

Man, the colours.

Not very inclusive old chap?

However, that does leave me room for a late Spring Rollover, (As per the 1963 final edition rules) ending at Caledonian Road.

Actually, if you’re going down that path, and more power to your elbow etc, then up to 1967 you had the considerably more elegant Mark Lane and Tower Hill exit on the Circle Line open to you, but the swine then closed the station and the loophole.

Is the loophole the centre of the rollover.

I'm afraid you have to miss two goes according to Lyttleton's Lemma, for mis-spelling "Rushton". I'm not even going to start on "maneuvers".

Handily I can see what you're aiming for and so your penalty means that I can sideblock you with South Kensington.

And, yes I know it's currently closed, but as all escalators are being replaced at the same time, rather than just one, Fry's Rule of the 1988 variation does not apply.

Camden oxymoron:



Chipping Camden excused. It’s still Camden.

Monday; Monument.

[Gary C]

Ah double cross at Bank which cancels the Monday service and so

Monday; Moorgate

At this point, I must interject with Montague's Second Stationary Ruling, purely because today is Monday 9th.

Nine Elms.

[Deranged Rover]

Not only is it Monday 9th but it's my birthday, which, as we all know, opens up a whole world of promise south of the river for one day only, so:

New Cross Gate

Point of order, the Montague SSR doesn't count in a Jubilee year as I recall ?

IIRC, the Ruling was first introduced in 1977.... But I may be mistaken.

I shall therefore invoke the Mornington Croissant variation, and in typical French style I shall go on strike for the rest of the afternoon. My boss may not be amused.

Mon dieu !

Unfortunately, its MY birthday today as well...

This means that play is disallowed , as it breaches the Kenisan Smythe protocol, and therefore leaves you firmly in Nip, and me in.....

Poplar.

[Gary C]

Hang on, are their two games going on here or did you just Huff me from behind on my point of order !

I guess that counts as a Derbyshire Huff?

If so, Aldgate.
