THE Mornington Crescent Thread

Given there's no mention I can see in my dusty copy of the Tudor Court rules of any mention of acid I suggest you make your way swiftish back to Covent Garden my friend, and mind the slippery steps. And that move IS covered in the rules, page 47 I recall.

I'll walk you through it. Given the last play was Ongar you have three possible plays (four if your consider the Paddington Broad Gauge Anomaly played in April 2018), that is Bethnal Green, Ickenham or with a short reversal either Queensway or Kingsbury (since the Regents double reversal amendment of 1843). However, since you are a new player I'd stick to the rather more conventional move to St Pauls. Any questions?

Edit - Don't listen to 'Last Visit' above, his plays have been suspect since the St Ockwell Scandal of 2016.

I'm so sorry. He forced my hand.

Ah Radio 4 and a bunch of "Oh look how clever we are" luvvies. That explains it all then.

I'll stick with teaspoons, where the true intelligencia reside.

Interesting there’s been a line closure and a re-route enacted by the game referees. All reset to Temple, apologies to all.

The failure of the two-tier Mornington Crescent doesn't bode well for the three-tier lockdown.

You cant just play Mansion house without claiming the Heathirtingon/Dominionion fault play surely ?

But that was yesterday and as yesterday was International Day of the Girl Child it meant I could play any station opened in 1871. No need for fault play.

We could tell you, but then we would have to... carry on to Shooters Hill.

None of you bothering to consider a left handed Knightsbridge?

You've left it wide open for me.

Two minutes early? Not a chance. You'll have to forfeit a turn.

Bit late to the party I'm afraid. I'll take the late start bonus though, in accordance with the 1994 "Chippingham" rules.

Think that lands me at "Kentish Town"
