Runtychain	First go and I have adopted Waldridge's Stance on laterals, which for a first timer is little uncomfortable. I'm going Temple
St Pancreas	Been out of the game for some time so forgive my if I'm a bit rusty. I can see you've now adopted the 1972 Bakerloo-Hammersmith ruling in this game, which puts me in a difficult position both vertically and horizontally. Tower Hill it is then.

Roger Wenack	Kings Cross
Mikkel Petersen	Mill Hill East. I'm fairly new to this game, but perhaps some of the more experienced players could tell me whether this play fulfils the four-four-four criterion, thus placing the Finchley Central player in Nidd? I realise Mill Hill East opened in May 1941, so it would fail according to standard rules - but I should think four-four-four takes precedence over both standard rules and the Southwark temporal amendments? Can't find it explicitly stated anywhere, though?

Roger Wenack	Kings Cross
Just A Friendly Nazi	Colindale
Chris	Camden Town
Scorpion de Rooftrouser	Now that's a tricky one to counteract. The obvious temptation is to triple-back to Roding Valley again, but I'll wager that's just want you want me to do. Next thing I know I'm trapped in an Epping Moebius. Tactics like those are killing the game, you know. I've seen many a neophyte get condemned to that eternal Nidd and subsequently swear off the game forever. Fortunately I'm no beginner and have noted the opportunity for a Ruislip Corollary, allowing me to squeeze into Digby
Jazzy	I'm going to go somewhat against the grain and play that little known gambit Loughton. I know the diagonals are sometimes in opposition to this, but since Black Horse Road has been left undefended I saw an option to double back through the Roding Valley loop.

Dingle Bingle	In that case, Watford
Digby	From one park to another - Regents Park.

Tom	moor park
optional	Digby, the Regents Park loop hasn't been allowed since the Conference of Gruyeres finally codified the supremacy of Haymarket's Ledger over the Winstonborne Pamphlet. And if you want to use pre-Gruyere rules it's a stipend of 400 Swiss francs or a hundredweight of carob. Either stump up or find a new strategy. In the meantime, Gospel Oak.
Stath Eagle	I appreciate the purists won't like this, but the smart play here is Blackhorse Road.
Skeleton Jones	Snaresbrook
Digby	From one park to another - Regents Park.
Frankly	I know I need to brush up a bit and this is a bit of a reach... High Barnet?
Cardboard Cockney	I am going to do an Espinoza dissection for the first time since I played in the the Zagreb under 18 European championship some 40 years. A negative splik over to Blake Hall is a highly irregular move I would agree as only 18 people have this move since the turn of the century but the situation dictates

Digby	I think I need to use a Northern Line clause in order to avoid Nidd, so will go to Borough.
Gav	Sneaky sneaky! I'll have to slide down to Pimlico in that case.
Peter	Hainault, obvs
Sarah Merriner	Goldhawk road
Arch	Blackfriars
Digby	Hah! Morningt... oh, wait now, I forgot I can't go there after the previous player went with a parallel reversal. So near and yet so close! So in that case I will simply play a straight lateral to Turnham Green.
Kat	A good defensive move there Gav. I'll take Seven Sisters.
Gav	Like on the Weakest Link - I'll Bank.
barbirolli	Queensway
Digby	I hoped it wouldn't have to come to this - Maida Vale.
Gav	Nice move Adam - I'll go with Canada Water.

Norman Frederick Stovold	Lets get back on the network- West Ham

bleh	West Hampstead
Eagle	Paddington
Pedantic	Charing Cross is outlawed in August except where there is a full moon and it hasn't rained in Stratford since May. This was introduced under the Simeon Welsh variation of 1979. Now more commonly known as the Maggie. Therefore Cybill, Embankment.

Victor	East Finchley

Cardboard Cockney	I am making a royal refusal based on Konev's inspiration at the 1976 Barking & Dagenham Open. As I am sure you all know, no moves with regal connotations can be played for 72hrs.Moorgate.

Digby	Bard - happened to me too! Mudchute.
THE Bard of Croydon	Now I don't know who's just played a couple of moves masquerading as the Bard Of Croydon but it wasn't me, I've been away since I played Ealing Broadway. Now, I reckon St. Paul's should be quite comfortable in this stage of the game.
Bilbo Baggins	If I may join at this time (Snaresbrook Protocol) I shall go with Stratford

Anthony	You must think I'm really stupid. Who could forget the Fairlop via Bank fiasco? I'm sorry guys but I'll have to play the diagonal. Wimbledon.
Digby	That's okay Anthony, even Grand Masters make mistakes! Wimbledon's a pretty good move. Let's do a lateral shift to Golders Green.
Digby	Sorry Anthony, the rules state we have to take your first move. However it's not a bad move - it gives me a chance to play Vauxhall without sending anyone into nidd.

Gary Backyard	Fripp! Gonna slide across to Mudchute
Shakes	no need for that sort of langue scott you might Turnham Green
Bard of Croydon	That really does spice things up. Balham.
Digby	Let's spice things up a bit - Embankment
Shakes	Putney Bridge
Bard of Croydon	Mile End.
Shakes	Gurtcha Digby that means I'll have to play Upton park
Digby	A fine move Bard, but I'm letting my ruthless streak show - Becontree.
Bard of Croydon	Bloody hell, what's happened here? Chorleywood, I suppose.
Digby	Whoa!! Steady on Gary! I'd better put your shenanigans to an abrupt halt by playing Waterloo East.
Gary Backyard	Ahhh there it goes again ... Gonna try Vauxhall instead, home of the other spooks.
Gary Backyard	Holborn - exploiting Rothman's caveat
Gary Backyard	My PC is haunted by the ghost of Hump!Back to Mansion House!
Gary Backyard	Holborn - exploiting Rothman's caveat
Gary Backyard	Upgrading to Mansion House
Shakes	good move Digby Swiss cottage
Digby	Using Planter's Picadilly Principle, thus effecting a reverse diagonal, I shall play South Ealing.
Shakes	New Cross Gate
Bard of Croydon	Hammersmith.
Mystery player	kings cross
shakes	I've been away to my move is Gunnersbury
Digby	Sorry Baldrick - I'm gonna be a b*****d and play Cannon Street to keep you in Nidd!
Baldrick	You smeghead! Holborn should get me out of Nidd... I hope...
Bard of Croydon	Finchley Road.
Baldrick	I play Rise of the Clown! By sacrificing Debden, I can force all players to Notting Hill gate, provided I go to Nottingham.
Digby	Looks like it's battle stations then - best hop to Woolwich Arsenal to stock up on ammo!
Baldrick	A-ha! I reveal my face-down card: Polymerisation! I combine Moorgate and the Guardian of the New Cross to enable me to play New Cross Gate... in attack mode.
Digby	I think I'll take a chance on Chancery Lane.
Bard of Croydon	Canada Water.
Baldrick	I'll play Moorgate in Defense Mode, and put one card face down.
JL	Look at this board state, it's patently absurd. And wonderful. Willesden Junction.
Digby	Time for a crafty terminus move methinks! Wimbledon.
Bard of Croydon	Well this is very interesting indeed. Caledonian Road.
Baldrick	A reverse reverse diagonal should end your ploy. Cockfosters.
Dame Celia	Playing the reverse diagonal, Morden.
Digby	Hmm... interesting. I'll have to tread carefully here! Umm... Royal Oak.
Baldrick	That's any line with a service that calls at Bank locked out... Slough.
Aeolian Harp	Totteridge and Whetstone (contradiagonal exception 7iii from the Guild of Deaf Piano Tuners' alternative handbook 1911)
Baldrick	We'll transcend the Underground and move onto Penzance. That's one hotel on Mayfair, please banker!
Digby	I know this won't be popular, but needs must to avoid Nidd - Farringdon (sorry!)
Bard of Croydon	Bounds Green.
rosso	If we are allowing 'Ghost Stations,' British Museum
Gary Backyard	Clever, putting on a play to Tooting Broadway
Digby	Canny move Bard! Mudchute
Bard of Croydon	Sorry I've been away for a while, my move's to Ealing Common.
Attila the Pun	Using the old barrister;s oyster card gambit to avoid the fares , I am laughing all the way to Bank
Shakes	I will go with.....Euston SquareAlight here for the Brittish Museum and Friends House
Digby	Thanks bard, we all the know the importance of quick thinking in this game! Stonebridge Park.
Bard of Croydon	Very quick on the uptake there, Digby, I had half a mind to take Upney myself. Northolt.
Digby	Phew! now that the District line is back in play, Upney.
Bard of Croydon	Edgware Road, Bakerloo line.
Digby	Solid move, but as we all know, a move to Barons Court locks out the District Line for the next three moves. Barbican.
Captain's Daughter	Although... yeeeah, apologies, I see I can't just jump to Aldgate East like that. Barons Court.
Bard of Croydon	Leytonstone.
Digby	Nice move! Got to think outside the box to avoid Nidd - therefore, Gants Hill
Captain's Daughter	At this point it's quite a challenge as certainly Stoke Newington would be an obvious move.. Took me an hour of office time to come up with something tricky - Goodge Street it is then!
Bard of Croydon	North Harrow.
Shakes	Parsons Green
Digby	Some rapid-fire moves going on here! Poplar.
Hannah Hassall	Finsbury Park
Bard of Croydon	You most certainly are, I've not had to get out of a situation like this in a long time. Alperton.
Digby	Monument - am I on a roll at the moment or what?!?
Bard of Croydon	Well colour me impressed Digby, that was one hell of a move. Any defence is bound to be little more than a compensatory effort, so I suppose Becontree works well enough.
Digby	Kennington - how's THAT for a cunning stunt?!
Bard of Croydon	Chiswick Park.
Digby	Thanks Shakes! I shall now invoke Boris's Blackfriars Bonus Bonanza!!
Shakes	Great move Digby,Tower Hill
Digby	Hmm... interesting move, I'll need to be careful to avoid Nidd. London Bridge.
Bard of Croydon	OK, Gants Hill.
Digby	M... Mo... Mor... Morden.
Bard of Croydon	Nice play. Osterley.
Bard of Croydon	Alrighty then, Cannon Street.
Digby	The cabbies shelter near Lord's does a nice cocoa to let's go to St Johns Wood!
Attila the Pun	Alas I have missed the hob nobs. Perhaps there will be cocoa later. Bank
Bard of Croydon	Clapham South.
Digby	Okaaaayy... with that in mind I shall make a conservative play and go to Waterloo East.
Bard of Croydon	Ruislip, I think that ought to work quite nicely.
St. Pancreas	Cunning play here. My only realistic option is to travel north-south-north to Borough. Biscuits have remained north of the river ready for collection.
Digby	That was me by the way! Let's all go to Charing Cross. Don't ask me why... it's just going that way y'know!
Shakes	Nice move dig Stratford
Dig	Nice use of Covent Garden exit strategy there! Which leads us nice and neatly to Beckton.
Shakes	Covent Garden (exit only)
Bard of Croydon	Thank you, I thought there was definitely something there. Elm Park.
Digby	What. A. Move!! Really hard to follow that one... Let's see... Goodge Street.
Bard of Croydon	Oh, very nice. Very nice indeed. Buckhurst Hill.
Digby	Good call, gives an opportunity for a seriously aggressive move - Greenwich. BOOOMM!!!
Bard of Croydon	Mansion House, I think.
Digby	Hmmm... Maida Vale.
Shakes	St Pauls
Digby	I shall use Robinson's Reversal Ruling and go to Goldhawk Road. There are a couple of Hob-Nobs left if anyone wants one!
Shakes	Bow church
Hannah	Euston
Bard of Croydon	Wanstead.
Shakes	Wapping
Digby	Hmm... I'm getting a distinct feeling of deja vu with St. Panreas' latest move so I think we should disregard it! I will go with Heron Quays to get things back on track.
St. Pancreas	Cunning play here. My only realistic option is to travel north-south-north to Borough. Biscuits have remained north of the river ready for collection.
steve	charing cross
Shakes	Digby I think I'll skip the biccys and move stright (or as stright as I can be) to the cake Victoria
Digby	Shakes - No Bourbons I'm afraid, but there are some choccy digestives waiting at Finsbury Park if anyone's interested.
Shakes	I'm more of bourbon man myself on which note I'll go Blackfriars
St. Pancreas	Cunning play here. My only realistic option is to travel north-south-north to Borough. Biscuits have remained north of the river ready for collection.
Digby	Euston - picking the biccies up along the way! Custard cream anyone?
St. Pancreas	Cunning play here. My only realistic option is to travel north-south-north to Borough. Biscuits have remained north of the river ready for collection.
Shakes	In which case using the latterals South greenford
Bard of Croydon	Covent Garden.
shakes	Beckton
Digby	Aaaaaaaaall the way out to Amersham!
Shakes	Having missed out on tea and bisuits i'll go Harrow on the Hill
Bard of Croydon	Nicely done; I'll take the old '49 Spin over to West Finchley.
JL	With the last of the biscuits spoken for, I will reflect a lateral off Elephant & Castle and end up at Queen's Park for a nice pause in the action.
Shakes	I'll go see the bard Southwark
Bard of Croydon	The Bard sees you, and heads to Woodford for those biscuits.
Shakes	I'll go see the bard Southwark
St. Pancreas	Cunning play here. My only realistic option is to travel north-south-north to Borough. Biscuits have remained north of the river ready for collection.
Bard of Croydon	Hmm...Clapham North.
Digby	Nice one Shakes! That leaves me able to use Osmond's Ruling of 1975 and go to Morden. And as we all know, playing Osmond's now means that the next three moves must be south of the river.
Shakes	Temple
Bard of Croydon	You're right, that really has disrupted things. I suppose I'll go for Debden then.
Digby	Now I know this won't be a popular move but circumstances dictate that I must play Tottenham Court Road. Gotta avoid going into Nid somehow!
Shakes	Grange hill
JL	I will take a cue from last year's Madrid Series semifinal and double-jump to Turnham Green.
Shakes	Seven Sisters
Bard of Croydon	Thanks, I try to go for the unusual plays. Mill Hill East.
Shakes	Intresting move Bard Chigwell
Bard of Croydon	Excellent, biscuits always change things up. Croxley.
St. Pancreas	If biscuits are ready then I could go to Rich(Tea)mond or possibly Hol(Bour)born. I will in fact go for the obvious - Green Park.
Shakes	Sudbury town
JL	Bow Road. The Piccadilly timer now rolls over to zero, which means biscuits are ready.
Shakes	Sudbury town
Bard of Croydon	Yes, that's a good point. Latimer Road.
St. Pancreas	Looks like all Bury's are now wild- Highbury and Islington
Vforcostomrservice	Mor...Mor..monument
Bard of Croydon	Queensbury.
Vforcostomrservice	Mor...Mor..monument
Shakes	Gunnersbury
Vforcostmerserves	I'm goingt o follow the yellow brick road to Watford
shakes	I'm going to go with....Ep.. no scrach that Chigwell
Bard of Croydon	I often find myself skirting the upper levels of spoon, though admittedly this is a little higher than usual. Chesham.
St. Pancreas	Blimey. I leave the game for a few days and it has escalated dangerously close to ?maximum spoon?. To restore a bid of law and order - Parsons Green.
JL	Ah, at long last the laterals on the Circle Line are open! Thus, Aldgate.
shakes	South Ealing?
Bard of Croydon	...Northwood Hills.
shakes	South Ealing?
Bard of Croydon	East Putney. Oh yes.
Tom	Swiss Cottage
Shakes	I was just trying to avoid Nid Greenwich
Shakes	Perivale
Bard of Croydon	Ah, I see. Not the path I'd have taken, but to each their own. Rayners Lane.
Shakes	I was just trying to avoid Nid Greenwich
Bard of Croydon	Bank...hmm, that's interesting. Not quite sure of the intent there, I'd better be on guard. Manor House.
Shakes	Bank
Bard of Croydon	Oh, well played. Well played indeed. Let's see...Kilburn Park.
Digby	Of course, playing Harlesden now means that all Zone 3 stations are wild. With that in mind I shall play West Acton. 'Ave summa thaaaat!
Bard of Croydon	Thank you, I've been working on my precedence game. Harlesden.
JL	Excellent foresight being shown here. If I'm not mistaken, Bard, you now have precedence and I'm in the bizarre position of having to move to Knightsbridge (yes, a Zone 1 station!) to avoid an access penalty.
Bard of Croydon	That really shook things up, especially with the Morden move - please, take a seat, tell us your name, I think your style might make things interesting. Anyway, I'm for West Hampstead.
	Ooh errr missus i will go Mordor no sorry Morden
Digby	Time to throw a monumental spanner in the works - Theydon Bois.
Shakes	Great move Bard Putney bridge
Bard of Croydon	The pace has really picked up here, this is getting tense. South Harrow.
Digby	Well intercepted! Farringdon.
Vforcostomerserves	Ahh I see the trap you were laying Shakes you can't get me that easy Euston Square
Shakes	Get your passports ready Pimlico
Bard of Croydon	Loughton, I think the potential huff might come in handy.
Shakes	Got a new car it's a greenford
Digby	Ooohh, good play Shakes!Waterloo East.
shakes	Chalfont and latimer
JL	We've just entered a type 2 Lane state. Hold on to your hats, everyone, this is going to get messy. Beginning the insanity with Victoria.
Bard of Croydon	Nicely done, very smooth. Chalk Farm.
Digby	Hmm... I think a diagonal DLR lunge to Tower Gateway.
St. Pancreas	I will take the inverse of your hyperbolic path and square root it, thus leading me to High Street Kensington.
Bard of Croydon	I drink to your health then, and to your groats...Knightsbridge, the hyperbolic path it traces looks quite elegant.
(optional)	Slow recovery, poor health, down to my last few groats. Turnham Green.
Bard of Croydon	Agreed, I don't think I've ever been this deep in quasi-blockages before. Tom seems to have eased things up a little there, but it's still rather uncomfortable for my tastes. I'll pull the old '31 Switch to Leyton, that should hepl.
Tom	Oxford circus
JL	This game is quickly developing the most complicated set of quasi-blockages that I've ever seen! My best option looks like White City, scoring points off Shepherd's Bush by an en passant entry.
Bard of Croydon	Mudchute, now that was unexpected. Well, I suppose I'll head to South Wimbledon then.
Digby	Yay! The Mojo's, Blackjacks, flying saucers and jazzies are on me! Oh, and my move is for Mudchute.
St. Pancreas	Digby, by my calculation your Bank wins you a total of 12 shillings that has amassed for this entire game. Meanwhile, I will invoke Ffarquhar?s northern approach to Canons Park.
Bard of Croydon	You're right, I see it now, how foolish of me. I put it down to experience, the game is woefully underplayed in these parts. Anyway, I think I'll head for a backward parabola to North Greenwich.
Digby	BANK. That wasn't a move by the way, just banking the money amassed so far in this game!
(optional)	A mad move Bard, the kind of risk an old player like myself wouldn't even consider but I salute your youthful exuberance. Me, I'll reside at Boston Manor.
Bard of Croydon	Of course, it's been some time since I've gone down this strategy but I think I can make it work. Hmm...Barking.
Digby	It does indeed, although try and be minful of the fact that Metropolitan Line moves must be followed by a District Line inversion. So with that in mind I shall play Ravenscourt Park. Welcome to the game Bard!
Bard of Croydon	This is my first move in this game, am I right in thinking this variation allows for the Metropolitan Entry at Eastcote?
Nominative Determinism	Invoking the 1957 Korean Reverse Theory, I think we can slip past the gatekeeper and make it to Shoreditch.
Gary Backyard	Huhhm ... Chancery Lane was a little risky. I am going to envoke Dee's preference and scoot to Seven Sisters! Hah - get out of that!
St. Pancreas	Embankment is good. Haven?t seen a move like that since that infamous quarter final of 1997 in Luton, and we all know how that ended! My move to Chancery Lane will seem quite amateurish in comparison.
(optional)	Embankment indeed! I'll invoke a Back E.M.F. bush skim and make for Waterloo.
Digby	Who said that?? Come on, own up to it! No one plays a masterstroke of a move like that without at least mentioning their name!!Anyway, a class move like that needs a subtle strategy to avoid going into Nidd, so I will use a reverse shift and take us to Stamford Brook.
	embankment
Digby	it does indeed St Pancreas - Turnpike Lane enables me to employ Brooke-Taylor's Picadilly Line Exclusion Principle and take a southern lateral approach to Crystal Palace.
St. Pancreas	Looks like we?ve reached somewhat of a stalemate, Kenton often has that effect. So I?ll use Barnaby?s half-ultimatum to Turnpike Lane, which should get things flowing again.
(optional)	Well Digby, that's put the cat amongst the pigeons! Kenton.
Gary Backyard	Holborn - exploiting Rothman's caveat
Digby	I am invoking Rushton's Reverse Radial Resolution to take us to Rotherhithe.
Attila the Pun	Sounds like we may be in a somewhat sticky wicket so I'll go silly mid off with Elephant and Castle
St. Pancreas	Now that we?re in a new innings, I?ll use Botham?s half diagonal to Kennington.
JL	Now that we're on a new wicket, I'll cross over dual-diagonally to Wood Lane.
Digby	Oval - new bails please!
St. Pancreas	To avoid leaving my laterals exposed i'll invoke a Frumpington Bypass to Stanmore.
Digby	A standard iverted lateral progression leads me nicely to Boston Manor.
Attila the Pun	Using Blenkinsops fourth approach (with sidebars) - CockFosters
(optional)	First rate strategies being played here. To avoid the cross-fire and beastly traps until the new year I'll invoke a 'polymorphic paradigm' and reside in Chorleywood for the duration.
Gary Backyard	Queensway - paddle me, paddle me!
Ace	Kings cross
JL	Digby, your subtle attempt to set up a three-line Godfrey Block has not gone unnoticed! Getting a piece of the action with a lateral procession to South Kensington.
Digby	A wise move NooNoo, The Royal Paddle should be avoided at all costs. Sore buttocks can really put one off one's game! I will use a parabolic shift to Royal Oak (That's by using McWhimple's Parabolic Inversion Principle, by the way).
NooNoo	If Cryer's Third Rule from 1995 is applied, then anybody who goes for a station on the Central line is liable for a very harsh spanking with a paddle covered in barbed wire, and said paddle is to be wielded by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. As such, I shall be making a move to Upminster.
St. Pancreas	If i?m not mistaken I can go from Grange Hill to Hanger Lane for 30 bonus points and extra custard!
Digby	Grange Hill - Let's go and visit Ziggy Greaves by using Mrs McCluskey's patented Central Line Principle.
Ferrat	Hammersmith ,the root centre
JL	Oh, that's a Baker Street Triad, isn't it? Very nice. Can't let it progress to a quartet, though, so... Mile End.
michelle	swiss cottage
St. Pancreas	That move to Barbican has put a spanner in the works. The Hammersmith and city line is now blocked (for obvious reasons) and so I will employ Montague?s diagonal variation to Bayswater.
Digby	Let's throw in a curve ball to liven things up a bit - Barbican.
TESSA	Ealing Broadway
JL	I think I'm now allowed to continue Steinham's Second Series to Whitechapel. I don't have much experience with disused stations, so someone correct me if I've done something terrible!
Stern	Fairlop a rare outing of Steinham inversion via disused Essex section
St. Pancreas	Thanks for the sheen. I hadn?t taken into account rotations, so I will deduct myself 12 points (as per Norton 1987 regulations). But now that play is more open I?ll use a Bakerloo expansion to Marylebone.
Digby	Great move JL - almost worthy of a grand master! And since parks score double at the moment I'll go with Park Royal.
JL	Great move, (optional), really opens up the game! Under Norton rules, a sheen into zone 1 means that all parks score double until we reach a line terminus, so I'll use a variant Thames Slide to get to Queens Park.
(optional)	St. Pancreas, I think you've placed yourself in a Commons or Gardens Rotation. Employying a sheen, which should help? Leicester Square.
Colin Dale	Colindale
Digby	Abbey Road - to annoy American tourists who think it is where the iconic zebra crossing is (it isn't! - Abbey Road station is on the DLR and is nearer to West Ham than it is to Abbey Road studios),
Gary Backyard	Deja vu - these trembles are getting worst ...From Green Park to St Pauls by exercising Bishop's Prediliction.
Gary Backyard	Holborn - exploiting Rothman's caveat
St. Pancreas	After several weeks I'm thankfully no longer in an Edgware triangle, and so I will undulate to Green Park.
Digby	Sorry Fiercely, your move to Mornington Crescent is a bit premature. Norton rules clearly state that any move to Morning Crescent must be preceded with by a move which adopts a diagonal inversion approach. (Optional's) move was clearly a reverse lateral so I'm afraid that invalidates your move. A typical novice players mistake so don't worry, we won't hold it against you!Any, with Fiercely's move invalidated I shall go from Ealing Broadway to Russell Square.
FiercelyLoyal	I'm glad that you took that fast backtrack to Ealing Broadway, as it makes explaining my move all the more fun, I'm using the Norton rules to traverse clockwise past the 180 degrees without it being classed as anticlockwise and therefore being invalid in order to travel to Mornington Crescent.
(optional)	Excellent use of angles here and intimidatingly thoughtful play. Backtracking fast to Ealing Broadway.
St. Pancreas	That move to Notting Hill Gate has trapped me an ?Edgware triangle?. Thanks a lot. The only option I now have is to use the DLR to Canning Town. I know the DLR is generally frowned upon but I have no other choice.
JL	I know the typical follow-up to Moorgate - Westbourne Park is a double parallel inversion to Bank. Problem is, if any more tube strikes occur, that would leave the game in great danger of a very long Nidd state. So, I'll be a bit risky here and use a single inversion instead: Notting Hill Gate.
Digby	Good call sir! And of course any move to moorgate leads very nicely to Westbourne Park.
St. Pancreas	Tube strike on the central line means I must perform an emergency diagonal shunt to avoid a permanent state of spoon, which of course leads me to Moorgate.
Digby	Using a combination of standard diagonal approach vectoring and the new Emirates Air Line, I will go with Emirates Greenwich Peninsula.
(optional)	Playing a 'K2 Escalation' to Upminster.
SDCC	Belsize Park
St. Pancreas	Invoking Frampton?s second inversion, quite a tricky maneuver that, but leads me nicely to Blackfriars just in time for tea.
Digby	Oooh good move sir! I believe that takes us safely out of the Westminster cycle (unless some numptie inadvertantly sends us straight back into it by playing a reverse diagonal). So I'll play safe by going lateral to Tower Gateway.
(optional)	Complex play here. Invoking a 'Henderson Expansion' which might provide a little breathing space. Temple.
St. Pancreas	Westminster Cycle means all gates are wild, so I will straddle along to Lancaster Gate.
Digby	Good thinking JL - Gamit maneuvers can be pretty tedious to negotiate and just make a game descend into a boring series of safety moves - let's not go there. So with that in mind and in keeping with the Westminster Cycle I shall pop along to Embankment (even though the Northen Line platforms are closed at the moment).
JL	I'll have to go with Bayswater. I know it traps us in a Westminster Cycle for at least the next 4 moves, but it's the only way to avoid a Gamit maneuver, which would allow a standard inversion and then MC in 3 moves.
JL	In light of the similarity of the past few moves to the final game of the 2008 Euro Championship... Acton Town.
Digby	That means I'll have to go lateral to avoid going into Nidd - let's see... Goldhawk Road.
St. Pancreas	Oxford Circus - using Rothman's bilateral gambit and exploiting all five diagonals
Humphrey Lyttelton	Elephant and Castle.
optional	Passing St. Pancreas on contra line at Russell Square
St. Pancreas	Returning out of spoon and nidd now with Russell Square
Digby	Harrow & Wealdstone using Watson's Bakerloo Line Principle as featured in "Mornington Crescent For Dummies - a bluffer's guide to succeeding in the gentle art of Mornington Cresent (4th edition)".
St. Pancreas	Well that's left the circle line in a state of irreversible disrepair. Thus, Northwick Park (using hopkins rule).
Digby	Using Datchett's Diagonal Imperative I will play Turnham Green.
St. Pancreas	Well that's left the circle line in a state of irreversible disrepair. Thus, Northwick Park (using hopkins rule).
optional	Highbury and Islington - using Hawksworth's dialectic.
Digby	Gunnersbury - Using Watkin's third parallel gambit.
Attilla the Pun	My hat is off because I am in Nidd (obviously). Avoiding the diagonals with Euston
St. Pancreas	Providing hats are on, this leaves me no choice but to by-pass Regents Park and head straight to the less fashionable but more cunning Holloway Road.
optional	Leaving the Circle line to travel to the Oval via Leicester Square and Charing Cross.
Digby	Theydon Bois - a bit of a 'vanilla' move but should keep things going nicely.
Gary Backyard	Strike that, had a touch of Mornington palsy -Green Park (Verde cross mangle lateral with a cherry on top!)
Gary Backyard	Holborn - exploiting Rothman's caveat
Zachary Klaas	Bethnal Green - this would be a fantastic play if I were Jeremy.
Gary Backyard	Holborn - exploiting Rothman's caveat
	Oxford Circus
George Michael	Mudchute to Swiss Cottage - Two of the places I got caught
Hainault	Hainault - Where Peter Hain got caught for stealing a typewriter ribbon!
cosmic	Wimbledon, new balls please.
Nick Southgate	Digby, your move was illegal if you are in 'spoon'. I suggest you clarify. Either way I think you'll find Canons Park satisfies Cosmic's "new balls" directive.
cosmic	Wimbledon, new balls please.
Digby	Seven Sisters, using a standard semi-lateral-inverted-radial-diagonal-northern approach.
JAMES SMYLIE	YOU'RE ALL FORGETTING THAT IN THE MONTH OF JUNE THE ONLY OPT-OUT ALLOWED IS THE BARRINGTOON-DALBY GAMBIT, WHICH RULES OUT THE DOCKLANDS LIGHT RAILWAY AND TURNHAM GREEN
Pierre Dubois	Disappointed that this website doesn't tell me what set of rules we're playing to. Marble Arch is the only one I can think of that will work with all formats.
Lambkin	Shepherds Bush
Ben	Bank via the castle of doom and the causeway of despair.
Mystery player	Arnos Vale via Richmond.
Digby	Class move Matron! (doffs hat in recognician of superb tactical play) I'll respond by using De Willis's Overground Revision and go to Rotherhithe.
Digby	Using Trumpington's Westerly Traversal Technique I will go to Willesden Green
Matron	I'm invoking Peer's Stoppage Rules and my move is Holloway Road.
GeeGee	Oh no you don't! Bank.
Attila The Pun	Woolwich Arsenal ..that should move us on a bit
Attilla the Pun	In view of the current recession I shall abandon my principles and go to Leicester Square.
GeeGee	I think I shall play Niblett's Gambit and plump for Whitechapel
mr trellis	i double back on a bilateral, but the 1972 land slide rule mean i cannot pass go, and have to skip round the circle line to sloane square
Hugh Janus	Golders Green is rendered out of play due to Rule 37 coming into effect follwing the outward legstep and reverting to reverse elision rules means that the next move is . . . . . Finchley Central! (At last!)
GeeGee	Seeing as we're out of Nid now, I'll have Goldhawk Road. And I may be in Spoon but I have a note from me Mum. So there!
GeeGee	I don't know about anyone else but I don't recall Rule 37 permitting duplicate moves. Even if you are an amnesiac. Old Street.
Hugh Janus	Golders Green is rendered out of play due to Rule 37 coming into effect follwing the outward legstep and reverting to reverse elision rules means that the next move is . . . . . Finchley Central! (At last!)
GeeGee	The old outward legstep eh? Only to be used by experienced players owing to the risk of invoking Spant's Lateral Embargo. Pimlico.
Hugh Janus	Golders Green is rendered out of play due to Rule 37 coming into effect follwing the outward legstep and reverting to reverse elision rules means that the next move is . . . . . Finchley Central! (At last!)
Juan Saponatime	A triple spring with outward legstep takes me to Golders Green.......only a few stops from home!!
Coco Souness	There was a Lambeth South but Boris Johnson lost it. I shall have to continue my defensive play and go for Stockwell.
Juan Saponatime	Why don't they just rename it Lambeth? Is there a "south" as well? Apart from Southwark? Two golden splonders says that this forces a triple rebound !!
coco Souness	I don't think that rule applies under this variation, does it?Although I agree it has forced me into wobbling on the diagonals. Looks like I have to go defensive and play Lambeth North.
Juan Saponatime	Coco...you are out because you forgot to declare the Big Ben strike before your pass at Westminster.
Coco Souness	It's going to be a hung parliament! So I get to take advantage of Leibnitz's hung parliament 3rd variation rule and take a second turn to ensure the game doesn't end with everyone in 'Heseltine' and declare Westminster.
Coco Souness	I'd watch out on your left flank if you want to avoid a rather embarrasing slide into nid if you attempt a prime move triangulation. It happened to my grandfather in the 1983 Mornington Crescent (Scotland Region) grand final. I shall say Farringdon via standard metropolitan rules.
Juan Saponatime	The perambulator shove has taken me to Theydon Bois. How good is that?
Juan Saponatime	Bank.....That will be ?5 please.
Coco Souness	I think I shall block you with the slide rule to Aldgate East.
Coco Souness	Are you a banker? In which case I will tax you at 100% and now you owe me a fiver. I'll take a little trundle on the DLR and say Blackwall.
Juan Saponatime	Bank.....That will be ?5 please.
Coco Souness	Kennington (Bank Branch)
The Colour Bars	I think we will have some testcard special action and decamp to White City
Coco Souness	I don't know about that GeeGee; under these rules your sailing fairly close to ending up in Nid!Mind you, I think you could be playing a tactical hand to force me into a shunt on a diagonal and ruin my triangulation strategy. I'll take us south of the river to Surrey Quays.
GeeGee	Wild? It's practically the third world. West Hamsptead
Coco Souness	I think I shall play Harrow & Wealdstone under Stovolds 3rd variation. Especially as it gets double points with it being a national rail station and it is wild.
maltese cross	That'll put you in Nip - especially in this weather. If Samantha would permit - Pinner!
GeeGee	Boston Manor? You don't want to be hanging around there. Perivale
CocoSouness	I will take advantage of Monetcute's second station ruling and progress the game to Boston Manor.
GeeGee	If we're still in spoon I'll have Kilburn
Bethany	I have never seen Wood Green mentioned, and yet it has potential as a move
maltese cross	...no, I think you misheard. I said we need a banker. Which reminds me - through Green Park... and... Barons Court. Fair and square.
Ossification	No, no no no not Balham, not with these rules, sorry, can I take that back? I meant to say High Barnet!
Ossification	Balham
Juan Saponatime	Is there anyone else on this train to Bank?
Juan Saponatime	Bank.....That will be ?5 please.
Juan Saponatime	?5 wasn't enough. I should have asked for ?50 at Moorgate,mate!
Juan Saponatime	Bank.....That will be ?5 please.
Gee Gee	Dollis Hill I think
Mad Dave CM	Tricky one this ... Aaah...Lambeth North
Wonko	Tooting Broadway... hang on, am I allowed a lateral shift? It might need adjudication.
jocko	Traverse to Hatton Cross. Allowed by retroactive application of the Greyfriars' Gambit (Nodd's 2nd variation).
SX man	Uhhh... Epping's tempting, but I've never epped all the way before. So Theydon Bois will have to do.
duck tracy	I was up the Prince Regent the other day - he din't like it though!!! BOOM, BOOM!! Hainault via Newbury Park
GeeGee	Baker St. If anyone's up for a pint, I'll be in the Prince Regent
maltese cross	I think Jocko's shortly going to be in Nip - because I'm asking Humph to invoke the Hapsburg Connection. Grimaldi's Protocol therefore takes precedence. Fairlop!
jocko	Traverse to Hatton Cross. Allowed by retroactive application of the Greyfriars' Gambit (Nodd's 2nd variation).
maltese cross	Ahh - I see what you're doing. So I'll see your Finchley and raise your momentum. Turnham Green? No - it's absolutely Barking...
the one and only	theres only one move i can do a double down on the bakerloo line (totally leagal because of the previous cornet pactice at tooting broad way) so i slide on the diagonal to finchley road
Chorley's Aunt	No, he most definitely wouldn't! He has cornet practice right across the board (including diagonals) - so it'll be Tooting Broadway.
maltese cross	If Samantha would permit... oh, well, maybe Chorleywood then.
Stevey	Lateral shift to Victoria, a similar move to that used by Stovold in the 1989 champtionship final.
jocko	Traverse to Hatton Cross. Allowed by retroactive application of the Greyfriars' Gambit (Nodd's 2nd variation).
The Amazing Rando	Kings Cross. yes he is, no doubt about it.
Tooslo Byarf	Goodge Street or bust.Samantha's bust, that is.
jocko	Traverse to Hatton Cross. Allowed by retroactive application of the Greyfriars' Gambit (Nodd's 2nd variation).
Marcus	Hmm. I'll have to take the lateral route to Ealing Broadway.
jocko	Traverse to Hatton Cross. Allowed by retroactive application of the Greyfriars' Gambit (Nodd's 2nd variation).
me	Moor Park. Simple yet effective I think you'll find.
Walter Lieu	Interesting Move, how about a circular route - Oval.
Richard Mond	An end-of-leap-year swazzle inflection: Theydon Bois
Mong	Putney Bridge. Via East Putney, using the 1931 Canoe amendment.
me	Ah-ha! Bank (and I know there's no interchange thank you ).
Cardboard Cockney	My preferred move if we were using pre-September 1994 rules would be Ongar - in which case I feel a strong position can be developed using twin divergence on Southbound. I presume this would be decreed invalid by the ruling committee on this occasion and will therefore play safe using a Ulysee's switch. My move is Chalfont & Latimer.
me	Knaresborough was ditched but only in favour of the Solaglass convention. So he's not in NID. He is in Spoon mind. Moor Park.
Attila the Pun	A swift diversion to Bank. We ditched Lord Knaresboroouhs rules in 1976 (at least at County level) - you're still in NID though...
Duck tracy	Bloody Hell!! I've found myself in NID!! Miss three goes. We should get rid of Lord Knaresborough's rules!!!
MornC Master	Finchley Central for a de la rue run at mornington crescent next go
duck tracy	I can block you using the traditional en passe! Hainault via Newbury Park! HA! HA!
MornC master	cockfosters eh? that might have cost you the game buddy i can get to mornington crescent the turn after this if i play my cards right.i move to Mordern
El D	Mmm, thinks.Cunning plan required.Hounslow Central.
MornC master	damn thats messed me up now, i have no choicei have to straddle to Chalfont and latimer on the lateral
El D	Aaargh! Not the Dollis Hill loop! Only one way to deal with this. Take a long run at it and....Stratford.There!
MornC master	I place a green token on camden town and move to dollis hill invoking the dollis hill loop
El D	Kenton??Ah, Bermondsey!
El D	Mmmm, think I see the way this game is going.So ? Stratford.
Attila the Pun	Good question and well put. Neasden whilst not strictly out of bounds is largely unplayed due to the Caruther's Quango manouvrve - which as you no doubt know went horribly tits up in the 1947 final play offs
Snuffles	Tottenham Hale
gerald	lewisham (for the Jubilee extension) otherwise it will go to Earls Court Olympia, leading straight to MC the following move
Adrian	Or do Oxford rules apply. In which case I suggest that the next player assumes a reverse gruntfuttock's posture. Risky but only way to avoid repeated visits to Dollis Hill and drag this game on interminably..
Adrian	Damn. I should have invoked the Trelawny exception. Too late now, though -- We are well and truly stuck in the fortescue loop unless someone can pull off a Monckton-Twistelton reverse and get us onto the central line. Still Dollis Hill.
Adrian	Can't see anyway out of it thanks to PJ's irritating (perhaps brilliant?) move, so it's back to Dollis Hill. Groan.
Wisey Woo	If we are conducting ourselves with honour, I believe the only option now is Boston Manor
Bacon	Are viaducts wild? If so, Marble Arch.
mr trellis	turnpike lane
Rabid One	Wood Green
The Professor	Kings Cross St Pancras

Attila the Pun	Heathrow - using the BA variance approach and so narrowly avoiding the extra tax
Reinsurance king	Snaresbrook
Reinsurance king	Liverpool Street I have never before heard this on the showBut when playing central line variations it is the penultimate move
Simetra	Goodge Street
E. Harshaw, LL.B., M.D., Sc.D	A fair witness tells me that was an error so I am going back to Grange Hill
Mystery player	Blake Hall. Delayed service, was booked to arrive 1958.
Simetra	Blackfriars - Mind The Gap
Andy Hall	No, but 221b Baker Street will be my next move.
nicci	knows anyone the adress of george michael in highgate?
Bern	Arnos Grove
Simetra	Mudchute...no side slides allowed
bishnar	With the current bad weather I can't do Heathrow so I'll have to back-double to Paddington
me	willesden junction
Rjh27973	Normally from being in such a tight position I'd be tempted to go all in on the first go and say MC, but in this occasion as the Battersea Dogs Home clause of 1852 may be envoked I might just be able to get away with Hatton Cross
Simetra	Mudchute...no side slides allowed
Morningtonmaster	According to Clause 3(b) of the Bath Convention Rules (1957) I should be able to make a direct cross to Harrow and Wealdstone at this point.
Mr Trellis	There's only one place to go from here..... Either Hyde Park Corner or Bank..... but as we aren't playing the Weakest Link rules, will go to Crystal Palace.
Andy Hall	Will have to go Tottenham Court Road, Buslane thereon.
_	This is likly to be my only move of the game:finsbury park

Attila the Pun	Normally you could use a down escalator, but with the lift counter conversion active this would constitute an unviable approach. You could have taken the up escalator but that would obviously have left your laterals dangerously exposed to nidd. Oxford circus
THE DOCTOR	I think Cardboard Cockney had just discovered a new loop, or the rules have changed since my day.Clapham Common
scuffster	I'm new to this, but couldn't I use a down escalator and go "Temple" from here?

Andy Hall	I think Chalfont and Latimer is an overused move..so I huff you and go Shepherds Bush, Shepherds Walk and Ewe-ston... 3 Shepherds.... Beat that...
Hanger Lane Liberation Front	Hanger Lane
Cardboard Cockney	Ah, I feel someone something underhand (or should I have underground) is going on. Someone has played my move exactly as my previous. Dashed unsporting. I revoke the second illegal Chalfont & Latimer move as precedented by Fontague-Smyth in the Barking & Dagenham Open of 1976. Using a Bratislava reverse option, I will call terminuses are open and move to Uxbridge. This leaves a potential double route and a plausible attempt on Mornington Crescent provided the next player doesn't digress at Hanger Lane.

Attila the Pun	I notice that the previous player's name spelt backwards is Molosba - presumably a reference to the Molosba double bluff on the laterals manouvre of '42. I play Whitechapel

Lorry M Organ	Southfields
Attila the Pun	Hypotenuse ?? Damn and blast it - I meant cosine - Ah well it's Hammersmith for me then...
E A Stacton	Ealing Broadway. Using a hypotenuse after a counter to Nesbits Gambit nullifies the move. Please pay attention!

TFL	I'll open the field up a bit as we seem stuck on stations within the circle line by going for Fulham Broadway. I hope that helps.
attila the pun	Well, I'll have to grab your arsenal by the laterals .... and say Kings Cross
Tart	That leads me quite unexpectedly onto Camden Town. Painfully, excruiciatingly close to our nemesis.
Helen	But Roz, aren't you in spoon? EMBANKMENT
roz	Which means that I get stuch in the convention halls loop and end up at EARLS COURT
moel_hebog	Which spells Krapy Rub Snif in reverse, leading us to Monkeys Align Point - or KENSINGTON OLYMPIA
mbfos	I invoke a reverse triangulation(with pike) and say Finsbury Park
Fopp	Having grabbed the Chalfonts firmly, it has cleared the way for a quick return to Mudchute
billboard pete	You are joking aren't you. With ot without the escalator rule Barbican is one of the worst moves that can be made! Hainault Crossing Manouvre, as used in the World Championship of 58, should have led you to be wary. However, you seem to have got away with it as some fool put Putney Bridge, so obviously I am going for Chalfont and Latimr.

George W. Bush	Tooting Bec
Perkin Warbeck	WHAT?? BANK? You can't do that if the vending machine is out of order, thus forcing you to invoke Mother Anna of Widdecombe's Seconde Rule of Thumbe and exclude all play on left facing diagonals. On the other hand, Arnos Grove was good play. Erm....where shall I go from there....Marylebone...
oriental connection	no no no sorry Bank
oriental connection	Arnos grove
Alfie THOMAS	Queens Park
Perkin Warbeck	Dear Mrs Trellis, I hate to throw a spanner into the teacup but I've just noticed that the Mystery Player failed to realise that old Stovold's Nip Variation quite explicitly makes no exception for the Circle Line and hence the move to Tooting Bec is in direct violation of Broke-Tailleur's Second Proclaimation of 1935, whereby conversions to the Circle Line were not permitted when crossing from an escalator restricted zone. I hope you can see where I'm coming from. If not, try looking the other way. Yours sincerely, Perkin Warbeck (aka Warkin Wardrobe)
Perkin Warbeck	My golly gosh, I haven't seen that attempted since Alexander the Great defied logic by crossing the Seventh Parallel at Charing Cross directly to Vauxhall! Erm...the only option from there has to be St Pancras
Mystery player	Tooting Bec (avoidin the problems presented by approaching the Cirlce Line in Nip)
Jem8472	humm good move,I invoke the short left slide and go to russell square
smithers	And unless anyone has involked the up escalator rule without saying so, I get another go, so Barbican

Jem8472	WOW thats a daring move. I think I need the cross line movment ruling, so I can go to shoreditch
THX`	umm... hainault. phew
Nelson	As I've just had some Lucozade the only move really is Maida Vale. Damnit, I should have thought about that in advance.*it was, of course, plain Lucozade, as no doubt you will have realised.
Nelson	I forgot to say I invoked the Double Entendre Rule, hence allowing us to return to Maida Vale. The next move must be South though, unless anyone invokes that other rule, the name escapes me...

Stanley	Livingstone crosses the floor, I presume- Kensal Green
Timbo Trumpkins	For my first and probably only move, i jump to Kentish Town invoking all the trumpets and bookmarks. Bookmarks are in play, trumpets will be moved sideways. Potentially suicidal i know, but should liven things up a little.

I have not been allocated a name!	Let's restore nomality . . Holborn, Please!
Happy Tuba	Grumpy Saxophone( are you of the Sopranos?), that's a very onanistic set of moves that can only lead to a sticky and dead end. I invoke the little rembered Trellis double-back strategy, sometimes known as the beast with two backs because it is devilishly difficult to reverse, which Mrs T. claims to have invented in the early 'Fourties whilst sheltering from the blitz in Sloane Square known at the time by the nickname of 'The Tunnel of Love!' The only known antidote is a gambit played by members of an esoteric cabal called Highgate and Woolitch.
Grumpy Saxophone	Upton Park to Mornington Crescent!
Grumpy Saxophone	Harrow and Wealdstone to Heathrow Terminals 1 is a parallel under the Chalk Farm '92 convention. Upton Park.
Grumpy Saxophone	No... thats a vertical move... isn't it? Heathrow Terminals 1.
Grumpy Saxophone	Rubbish! Harrow and Wealdstone!
Grumpy Saxophone	Can you do that? Sounds a little too much like the kilburn convention to me.
Grumpy Saxophone	Anybody? No? Well I'll play with my self. Tottenham Court Road
Grumpy Saxophone	White City
bored stendent	In the post 9/11 world, I feel international conventions such as that concerning the use of the inverted Gamit manoevre are irrlevant. So I declare Warren Street. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Mick Sing-Bowells	Doesn't Moor Park take us past our quota of Batt's Increments? I think our mystery player is looking to be given a lifetime exclusion from the game (or "Bill Oddied" to use the original term)

Eva Destruction	Oxford Circus
Viv Aceous	Why, Evan Jellicle - I do believe I have you rattled Sir! You and I both know that you were caught fiddling with st johns wood not too long ago!!!!!
Evan Jellicle	(To Viv Aceous). You Swiss Cottagers don't fool us, you're always into back down moves, taking it up the Elephant and Castle and all available tunnels! Should be ashamed of yourselves abusing our hospitality and toilets. Go back to Berne in Hell!
Dai Caesar the 20th.	Let's not forget the roots of the game as set out in the header. The original line was from Y Drenewydd to Llanllwchaiarn famous for its Shepherds Bush which had to be seen to be believed although much of it was woolly and white. However the line fell into disuse due to pronunciation problems. Still the Llanllwchaiarn Convention remains the classic arcane move known only to native pronunciers. When used as a Circle Line Parallel it is unbeatable. Joining the cabal costs the mere sum of lots of money. Please apply directly to Ivy, Mrs Trellis who will also manipulate your points for a small consideration although size does count for her.

Cameron Dennis Road (or Cam-Den for short)	Sorry, I meant Northern LINE - Northern Live is a variety show on Yorkshire TV featuring the famous competition where entrants have to make their ferret bite famous quiz-show hosts. In light of my error, I will penalise myself by withdrawing Swiss Cottage in favour of Vauxhall
Cameron Dennis Road (or Cam-Den for short)	If the Northern Live is in Spoon, then surely we have to assume that the Circle line will open up and take on a diagonal of its own? In which case, I can only say Swiss Cottage.
Oggy	Does Westminster Bank count as two moves?
DK	I think the bellfounders gambit to Whitechapel is in order here.
Gordon Bennett	Heathrow Terminal 4, reducing the line velocity by three and causing the passengers onboard to miss their flight, and putting the Northern Line into Spoon.
Froggy	(Chairman) I find that the best pint of Cockfosters with a Stagballs Single Malt Chaser, is to be found in the Trunk Bar of the Elephant and Castle. Meet you there at 9 O' the Clock. I'll be wearing a green skin.
