Mornington Crescent

[Ashley Hill]

A cunning move. I’m going to take flight and head to Heathrow Terminal 5!

 

[Trackman]

easy.. and I'm not using Google to cheat; the next station is.... Golders Green

 

[DerekC]

OK .... the next move requires considerable thought and maybe a bit of flaming brandy. Pudding Mill Lane can't be missed this time round.

 

[Loppylugs]

Inflation has caused us to scale down on the size of bird we eat this year. Off to see what we can find at Canary Wharf.

 

[DerekC]

- to go with our canary we stop off at Covent Garden Nine Elms for veg. Do they sell brussels sprouts singly?

 

[Ashley Hill]

Ah,the Brussels move. In that case straight to Waterloo.

 

[AlterEgo]

A good move, but as the Whittle Rules were brought into play following the stop at any Heathrow station earlier, I'm going to call...

Ickenham

 

[Spamcan81]

I believe that to accommodate the current football shenanigans in Qatar, a move to Mill Hill East is required

 

[DerekC]

As I recall, at this time of year moves involving the ghosts of stations past are allowed, so a trip to Museum is on the cards.

 

[Gloster]

Clever! But building on that, Monument.

 

[Ostrich]

However, Goedel's Incompleteness Theorum indicates that at this point, there is little alternative other than a move to Northwood Hills.

That answer triggers the Ampersand Challenge!! Chalfont & Latimer.

 

[Loppylugs]

After leaving my solicitors, Chalfont & Latimer, I decide to move south, meeting on the way Mr. and Mrs. Nington and their son Kennington.

 

[318266]

Unfortunately for us, legend holds that Mr. Nington was at the Glaswegian Christmas Market trying to figure out why they have a rollercoaster.

The Mrs. indicates that his return arrival at Euston will not be long, so we travel to Kings Cross St. Pancras, as the advent rules dictate that when an abnormally located rollercoaster appears north of Edgware you must travel to the terminal adjacent to the one where the investigator will be arriving.

Epping

Epping

Sneaky! Now I have to move back four places Buckhurst Hill

 

[318266]

It is the advent version remember, the Glasshoughton move does not require the movement of 4 places by Section 44A.

Instead Section 65 A is invoked, which requires a teleport to a station with a junction. Therefore, Aldgate would be the best possible move, as most others would violate subsection 65 A-56

 

[Peter C]

I was gifted an early Christmas present this morning - a first-edition copy of Delia Smith's One is Fun! - which clearly states (between the recipes for the sticky-toffee pudding and blancmange) that on all days other than 6th January, a move to Aldgate must be rapidly followed by a dash to Oxford Circus.

-Peter

 

[DerekC]

Hmm - personally I would have thought that a fast move involving sticky toffee pudding would be impossible at this time of year because of the low viscosity of the treacle. But I won't raise a formal objection this time. A quick dabble in Stamford Brook should eliminate any future problems.

 

[Loppylugs]

Bit nippy for a quick dabble anywhere methinks. A speedy dash to the fire by Burnt Oak should work wonders.

 

[Ostrich]

Despite this being the Advent Version, I detect a distinct lack of reindeer, so a suitable substitute move would be to Blackhorse Road.

 

[eastwestdivide]

From there to the Blue Peter advent crown of old, made from a coat Hanger Lane

 

[Ashley Hill]

I’ve just remembered I’m a Womble! Wimbledon.

 

[DerekC]

There's rather too much choice at Seven Kings, but maybe there should be a preliminary selection process.

 

[Trackman]

but.. Kentish Town
Before someone tries to trip me up, the no escalator rule does not apply as the last move was Seven Kings (section 25 para 9 subsection 12) - you can buy the book on Amazon if MC newbies are confused.

 

[Spamcan81]

Playing the Denscombe Variant - running up the down escalator - brings me to Green Park

 

[318266]

Remember that the Denscombe Variant requires our return to a terminal to avoid the Hillswick replacement.

Ergo, Victoria also alleviates the potential for a Republican swap.

Before moving onto the next station I am required by Ancient Burgundian law to produce my passport and have it stamped. Pimlico.

Coupled to post #4, that makes fourteen Kings. Not sure the economy can support that.

Anyway, thanks to new rules introduced only last night, I'll stick with Pimlico

Objection! I think you'll find that I already played Pimlico earlier in this game!

Pimlico

I think you're now both in Nidd as a result!
