Holloway Road to Russel Square
[spoiler]This is in hopes of forcing him to the Circle via the Central. Similar to the Yankee Tourist Gambit.[/spoiler]

I take it the three-corner transfer stratagem is excluded by Ingersoll's 1995 "escalator-free play" dogma?
In that case -
Holland Park!

Drat, I hadn't seen that.
Hmm, you want to trick me into doing a South End rollover.
"Birmingham" opening instead:
Ladbrok Grove

I'll quench, bring the DLR into play and go to
Pudding Mill Lane

Yeah, a bad move in the beginning can force you into the defensive right from the start. What about
Ealing Common
though. That should knock the breath out of your DLR introduction.

Should we take this uncultured American seriously? I say no -
Chorleywood is a lot more appropriate.

Okay, then how about:
Morningwood?

Heid, can you help me with this one, please?

What?
Did I get lucky?

On the contrary, Sir,
quite, on the contrary.

Apologies for the delay, compounded by this morning's derailment.
As the tennis is on and the country seems fixated by East European aeroplane blondes:
Wimbledon
Not the safest move and it leaves me out on a limb, but sometimes you have to be topical.

Oooooooooh cheeky!
I'll use the sportsman's conjuction, sidestep nip, and go to:
West Ham

Hah!
Mind your steps, KOS, or it's MC in two...
I have to counter Heid's attempt to put me in nip, so I'll play it safe:
Wapping
Your Wimbledon move was orth all the wait, Heid. Good to get things going again.

After all, the new lines are there for a purpose (mwahhaha).

Is it too late for me to join in?
I'll play the slip-n-slide step maneuver and try to sneak to
Hamonrye

Nice one, and from a beginner at that!
O.K., with Heid safely in rucksack, I can do a double King's Cross swingby and catch KOS in knip with
Clapham Common.
Only the two of us left for the moment, Lance
[spoiler]One false move, and it's Mornington Crescent in two. In fact, Lance has only two options left.[/spoiler]

Okay, tentatively, I guess I should try for Leland Square.
