all this talk of tube-travel...the posibilities for getting lost, confused in a labarynth of foot-tunnels... odd and archaic rules and regulations guiding your path, throwing you into places previously unknown... desperate to find the safe.. the familiar...
have a look at this film, I believe that the documantary team that made it have all be recovered, save for the one sound recordist.

... Oh my goodness no!!!! Marble Arch!!!
I was nearly the laughing stock of the forum then! redface

I had serious reservations about this move until I checked it and it IS legal under the provisions of the R30 Bus amendment. Classy move Cherrytree, I can see I am going to have to be very very careful. So just to slow things up a bit and give me some extra thinking time
Shadwell on the DLR
I'll raise your Shadwell and see you Galleon's Reach.

Sorry Mmmaybe, this is an illegal move on two counts. The 1997 Modernising Regulations under which we are playing clearly state that only public transport or a walk of no more than 5 minutes (10 if you are in a wheelchair) can be used, Taxis are out. Also the regulations have never allowed for any travel outside of the M25 (Watford, Oxford, Romford or East Grinstead if playing uder Turdor Court Rules which we are not) which leaves us back at Chalk Farm.
I would so dearly love to move two stops down the Northern Line to Mornington Crescent and win however random_orbit has invoked the The Hamlyn-Troufaux Submission which prevents an even number of stops in a southerly direction on the Northern Line.
Under the circumstances I really have no option but to play an extended farcklesnap whch takes us to the District Line at Embankment
Hmmm... fair point. OK, the ferries count as public transport so I'll head down to Tower Hill from Embankment. I don't need to remind potential objectors about the Boleyn Convention, do I?

lol... As if we'd make such am amateurish mistake!
So much subterfuge going on in this game that I feel I have no option but to declare Sloane Square but not on bank holidays.
As the next bank holiday is on a Friday And in an even month of the year I feel resonably safe in playing Hyde Park Corner
dare I declare

But of course you can! And it would be a fantastically clever move, reminding many scholars of the game of the famous Eddington - Friptree clash at Oxford in 1923.
However, and I really must point this out, Wildfire did play his Blinded Jester and since this a Monday, and we are playing the Tromso and Omsk Left-Handed, Catholic Bridge and Crochet's societies rules and the rule of no snibbling under the watch of a Felch means that any attempt to land on MC without first having Furtled your neighbouring station (with an escalator and kiosk, but without a lift and crisp packets between rails) and then proceeded to roll a double eight means that your move is not only illegal, but also punishable by being forced to eat the group raspberry.
I must therefore sadly move you to Aldgate and give you a whining lemur card as penalty.
I do apologise.

M O R N I N G T O N C R E S C E N T confused:

I don't think so Kazsc as there is no direct route between Hyde Park Corner and MC. I cite the TFL journey planner in evidence As the game was started under English Rules with no diagonals using the Modified Regulations of 1997, you would have had to play a Buchanan Conversion with unsupported shunts. However that has to be declared at the beginning of the move, failure to do so transports you to Amersham and puts you in Nid for 3 moves.
Really really sorry about that but it's the small things we tend to overlook.
Well played guys.
The Aldgate - Amersham combination leaves me pretty much out in the cold. I will await an unlocking move.
Nid! You can't put them in nid! We've not seen a nid since the Thripps - Charleston clash in 1963, and that was instigated by an unexpected bout of narcolepsy!
You are a harsh taskmaster Wildfire...
Ah! At last Nid! Thank Humph for that!
I can act accordingly.
Gadies and Lentlemen, may I say firstly and forth, nay fifth, rightly though:
Honestly your game play here has been such a mind mauling and brain steaming assortment of pure methodonicism, reckless risks, with particular reference to Cherrytree’s last second realization of impending kharmic quarterisation that led to such a beautifully executed Gernoidle Back Thrust in All Five Quadrants, as introduced, alas terminally, in ‘73 by Baron Enrid von Mooseblaster I (dec.)at Wapping Sugery, ah heady days, back into Marble Arch, halting without spilling anything over South Kensington! Marvelous play indeed. Had she continued her devastating path to destruction, said borough would have had to have been designed. What of the shopping then? Devious and dangerously shrewd. This player must be watched and marked with the Splayed Ring Swab for future reference. Well done you. And applause from South Kensington. (Relieved) At least it looked like one of the Baron’s. Anyway.
So now there is a lull in the proceedings due to the timely evocation of ‘Nid”and all withdraw to lick dripping nails and festering nodes, may I hereby, with respect to all, call on the rule 76, Charter 150,238,364 of ‘Nid’, (details forwarded by post only as the file is simply too large for the internet to handle.) request the next move?
I assure you my move will be swift as a gnat, straight to the veign and as simple and as direct as to not interrupt your gausel flow. I hope. Thanks muchly.
Iwill accept a minority vote.
oh, go on then

By all means Man_overboard, take your rightful move, any careful scholar of the game will have no doubt been impressed with your ebullient appraisal of Cherrytree's quasi-genius play.
I would respectfully remind you however that Nid is enforceable only on Quarterly endowed stations which sell Monster Munch and that the Parcells-Wump stipulation, is in full force until on 3rd April.
Good luck and we shall be watching with interest...
Why thank you Resonance.
Thank you also for reminding us of the Parcells Wump stipulation which has been a constant cause of argument foul mouthed and well. actually rather damp in certain lanes for the last silmenear but I am able to inform you that there was an exemption to this rule lent to my great aunt Lady Betty Wunway in 1926 at Ealing Broadway. (Around BST it is remembered by some) which does not of course mean that I am exempt but it does give you the opportunity to disnobriciate it for 12 meals after lunch on Fridays. So as it's Tuesday it does look as if you are standing by said rule and I thank you kindly for it.
Right here goes. It’s only a little move, just to get the wheels rolling again.
Ahem:

Quasi-genius? How very dare you Sir.
I do not wish to damn with faint praise, m'lady...

Certainly. I will be carrying a pineapple and tomorrow's copy of The Morning Star - Please bringaccoutrements.
I'll be dressed in the gasmask and day-glo codpiece, with a "Frankie Says This Way" T-shirt and an Arrow pointing to the aforementioned Codpiece. I'll have a pair of lime green wellies on with a pair of mauve leather chaps, slit up the side for easy access. To finish the look it will be a string vest, with egg yolk spilt down the front Ala Jim Royle and a had with "Kiss Me Quick before you vomit" on the front.
I was going to carry a copy of the latest Take That CD but I didn't want to embarrass you.
