If my wife told me anything, 999,037 times, I'd be dead by now.

Didn't I say it was going to turn wild?
Golders Green

Mwahahahaha.

That sounds to me like I am claiming that you would like to travel on a train in a particular instance, not that you have a general liking for train travel. Doesn't it? That's the weakness of the substitution, but there is a price for every simplification... How about the NZZ? :twisted: Well, O.K.,...

Well, since hardly anybody actually uses these distinctions, you will be fine. And you can always help yourself out with "KOS sagt, ich würde gerne Zug fahren". It's not technically correct, but short of the Frankfurter Allgemeine, hardly anyone will notice.

I seem to recall something about the two Konjuntivs, that if I were to say "Arneb sagte mir, er wäre zu Hause," it would mean I didn't believe you. Is that correct? This implication is correct. "Wäre" is Konjunktiv Imperfekt. In indirect speech, it denominates the "Irrealis...

O.K., so English is hell for pronounciation, and stylish test-tube names don't make it easier. With this game console, I am at a complete loss. How is this thing pronounced?

O.K., sorry folks, I didn't want to come across as the know-it-all throwing Latin words around. It's just that I learnt most of my grammar during my Latin classes, and I thought it would be easier, not more difficult to understand, to use the Latin expression because I figured they would be used in ...

If I tell you 999,043 times that this process is called Primzahlenzerlegung, will you believe me?

Come on, you can do better than that, can't you?

Bad form Lance, never come out of character during the game. Enzo, please join us. This was the deepest truth you could ever have said about this wonderful game. By the way, some minor and irrelevant website reports in an otherwise totally clueless and respectless article, that extraterritorial mov...

In Germany, you can (and some do) make a comfortable living from writing books criticizing how many linguistical mistakes (other, always other) people make. Something you rarely hear spoken or even written correctly is indircet speech and consecutio temporum, which admittedly are quite abstract and ...

How about coming back to London?

Well, you're the economist here, I guess you'll make a mistake with these statesment only every 999,052nd time.

That's...unusual, but you put us in a tight spot.

Well, against a Hamburger, there is always

Pudding Mill Lane[/b]

[Split from Mornington Crescent 2]

Since I win this one, let's start a new game with

Beckton Park
A bit old-fashioned, I know, but Spanish openings have that uncanny knack of turning wild after the third or fourth move :?

How I hate it when they display those false shark fins in the water just because it's April Fools Day.

Yeah, 999,055 copmes along as modest, too, doesn't it?

Sorry, Lance, no escape. Great Portland Street I reach Mornington Crescent in two moves... :twisted: [spoiler] Heid is in rucksack, KOS can only choose between Heathrow Terminal 4 and Acton Town, which would immediately force a Thameslink breakdown and give me instant MC; you do have your spoon priv...

Oh, oh, oh, a trillion kicks
From nine-nine-nine-oh-sixtysix

Am I now in spoon? Yes, you are. You can exercise this privilege during the next three moves. Two strategies Heid? Hmmm, I see a third one. Not Leicester Square; not the tired old Viktoria gambit via Vauxhall... :twisted: Instead, London Bridge , via the Monument crossover opening (remember the rev...

No, in the 999,071st,

Trying to put things in order 999,070 times...

Lance wrote:Okay, tentatively, I guess I should try for Leland Square.

Dang! That was the better of the two possibilities. And KOS blocks the Southern escape at Vauxhall.

O.K., I have to let go of Heid, who is now out of rucksack, but

Stamford Brook at least saves me my sidehopper advantage.

You think that's bad. I need 999072 boxes just to keep some order.

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 :twisted: [spoiler]One false move, and it's Mornington Crescent in two. In fact, Lance...

Lewisham

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