I find it is always best to go up the Arsenal early on:

King's Cross to Highbury and Islington.

Huh? This is a game? How do you play?

Posted: **Mon Nov 13, 2006 5:59 pm**

isn't it obvious?

ok Lance, just google it if you really want to know. Wiki has an article.

Thanks. It's all clear now. Maybe I'll just watch for a while.

Looks a little too Rightpondian for me. Anyone up for a mindless game of 1000 Blank White cards?

(Seriously, I think I'm going to sit back and watch for awhile, too.)

Noooo, not the Mornington Crescent, NNNOOOOOOO

AAAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!

Very well, I will invoke the Framlington Codicil, change lines and go to Stratford.

How about Worcestershire? is that appropriate with the Beefington Wellington?

Dangerous!

I'll play it safe and go for

Bank
instead

To avoid Knip I'll have to go to Waterloo.

Well you shouldn't have. :twisted:

Euston Square and you are in rucksack.

Posted: **Fri Nov 24, 2006 2:36 pm**

I should have seen that! I'm a bit rusty.

Rucksack!

I feel a journey to St Pancras is in order.

Uuh-hu, you are getting close to MC... How about I don't like that and steer you away from it:

Ealing South

Still keeping Heid in my rucksack...

Posted: **Sat Nov 25, 2006 5:15 am**

I'm going to lie down on the tracks...

Posted: **Sat Nov 25, 2006 9:05 am**

Ealing South? A bold manoeuvre, but doomed to be finessed by Elephant And Castle...

Posted: **Sat Nov 25, 2006 5:14 pm**

Not quite.

London Bridge

Posted: **Sun Nov 26, 2006 7:39 pm**

Ok... Embankment

Posted: **Sun Nov 26, 2006 11:29 pm**

Hah! Make you sweat...

Oval

As I'm coming out of rucksack, I claim my free line change:

Pimlico

Posted: **Mon Nov 27, 2006 10:35 am**

Invalid move, as Oval is only on the Northern Line, so Pimlico is unreachable. Very poor.

I will say Mornington Crescent in 2.

As stated, I used my free line change for coming out of rucksack. Oval to Stockwell, change line to the Victoria Line, to Pimlico.

Not yet, man, not yet: That would have been possible (I know, the old wag the dog twice stratagem) only with Heid still in rucksack, which I ended with my move to Oval (by Second line change Commandment), and there is that free line change after it - never seen Urquhart win the 2004 championship against Cunnings and DeLaitre with that little smug move? (The tabulature is in Acta Morningtonia 46 (2005): 235-245, with a brilliant comment from our Elder statesman Trevor Rookman).

No, man, this isn't over just yet. I hope
Kings Cross St- Pancras
causes everyone else a bit of pain... :twisted:

Nice move and closing in; but I can use Cholmondley's Contraction and return to Highbury & Islington.

Posted: **Tue Nov 28, 2006 10:42 am**

Chapeau!

Hmmm, maybe

Finsbury Park 8)
