    Oh dear, that is a drain down which I do not wish to flush. So I'm going to play the Last Stand card, and move direct to...

    Hyde Park Corner > Cockfosters > Waterloo > Canada Water > Crossness > Poplar > Wembley Central > Looisham > West Kensington > East Ham > Turnham Green > White City > St John's Wood > Walthamstow Central > White Chapel

    Waterloo

    Now someone needs to roll a double 6 for victory...

    Are repeat visits allowed under this rule set? If not you need to leave at once via the town drain down train.

    I've found that due to my age coupled with the cold weather, repeat visit become more frequent.

    I refer you to the Embarassment in the pedestrian tunnel in the 2009 Lancashire league championship game.

    And now:

    Sloane Square

    Jolly hockey sticks!
    Now I can invoke the burlington variation, as defined in Stovold’s. All WC postcodes count double, but cannot be followed by a consecutive WC code. Crescents are wild as rule 42 is of course suspended.

    Kings Cross

    Oh, I call a morning commute then.

    South Kensington

  • 3dcheapskate3dcheapskate Posts: 2,720

    I'm unable to move as I'm in khazi.

    My White Chapel move was valid. However, my attempt to claim bonus points with an incorrect spelling broke the Jack Schitt clause.

    Only through the Desperate Last Stand exception (sometimes known as the Hail Mary clause), as first played by Lord Flushing of Bidet.

    Which I did invoke :)

    ah did you present your passport to the proper authorities when visiting Pimlico?

    Well, as that last move backed everything up, I think I have to make my next move as if from Sloane Square, so we'll visit the Throne room at Buckingham Palace by going to:

    Hyde Park Corner > Cockfosters > Waterloo > Canada Water > Crossness > Poplar > Wembley Central > Looisham > West Kensington > East Ham > Turnham Green > White City > St John's Wood > Walthamstow Central > White Chapel > Waterloo > Sloane Square > Kings Cross > South Kensington > Pimlico>

    Ooh that's a nasty move to get round.    I think we will have to use the Watling Street Variation, which says Players may only take the direct route between any two given points. and go straight to

    Well played sirrah.. Using The Marquess of Turberry's rules, and using Bartlett's Pass with the "Mind the Gap" amendment (The Sun is in Pisces, so that's allowed) I call at:

    Hyde Park Corner > Cockfosters > Waterloo > Canada Water > Crossness > Poplar > Wembley Central > Looisham > West Kensington > East Ham > Turnham Green > White City > St John's Wood > Walthamstow Central > White Chapel > Waterloo > Sloane Square > Kings Cross > South Kensington > Pimlico> Victoria > Twyford>Paddington

    Harrow and Wealdstone

  • 3dcheapskate3dcheapskate Posts: 2,720

    I'm still in khazi. Which is a shame as I can see a marvellous spoiler move that would back up the tubes all the way out to Zone 7.

  • TangoAlphaTangoAlpha Posts: 4,586

    Risky move this, and it could be the end of the line for some people

    Hyde Park Corner > Cockfosters > Waterloo > Canada Water > Crossness > Poplar > Wembley Central > Looisham > West Kensington > East Ham > Turnham Green > White City > St John's Wood > Walthamstow Central > White Chapel > Waterloo > Sloane Square > Kings Cross > South Kensington > Pimlico> Victoria > Twyford>Paddington > Harrow and Wealdstone

    Ealing Broadway

    Ealing Broadway

    Yes,   that's going to take some thinking about.  

  • Richard HaseltineRichard Haseltine Posts: 102,744

    Pimlico and Ealing? Is someone going for a theme?

    but then we would all have to walk, difficult walking on a tube train, or any sort of train really

    Now I'm sure most of you will be aware of the significance of my next move. But for the one or two that don't I will explain. As well as being the place that a famous dictionary was first printed it's Odean cinema was featured in the film "Carry On At Your Convenience" If I don't get double points for this I quit.

    We seem to be getting rather bogged down here, so I'll play a wild card to open things up:

    Hyde Park Corner > Cockfosters > Waterloo > Canada Water > Crossness > Poplar > Wembley Central > Looisham > West Kensington > East Ham > Turnham Green > White City > St John's Wood > Walthamstow Central > White Chapel > Waterloo > Sloane Square > Kings Cross > South Kensington > Pimlico> Victoria > Twyford>Paddington > Harrow and Wealdstone > Ealing Broadway > West India Quay > Uxbridge > Great Portaloo Street > Barking > Swiss Cottage >

    I was thinking of being generous and just coming down to Euston,  and letting someone else make the last step,  then I decided to do it myself   so

    Given the Bond Gambit opening you were probably thinking Aston Martin. Anyway, given the Highland Corollaries I think it's time for a far-far-outfield play...
