I feel I might need something to defend myself with here in any upcoming battle, being a lowly forum member:
'Arrow and Weald stone

I imagine Harrow, given its school, may not be the best place in London to drop the H, but there we go!

I've not got my rulebook to hand annoyingly but I'm sure there's a technical fowl here regarding the alteration of a station name from it's common and accepted definition to one which has very different connotations! Perhaps someone with the rules to hand could advise?

Well, being as Harrow was/is in Middlesex when the game was invented, I would say that there is indeed no dropping of the H.

Maybe this is the time for me to do a Thursdays Only move within Middlesex south to Northwick Park

Ah! If it's the third Thursday in August I am booked in for treatment at Therapia Lane

 

[Loppylugs]

It's only the second Thursday in August. Perhaps a night on a bench at Embankment will do you good.

 

[A Challenge]

Well after that night it is now the second Friday in August, I believe we can go the newly added to the Tube Map Thameslink route south of the river to Beckenham Hill

......I believe we can go the newly added to the Tube Map Thameslink route south of the river to Beckenham Hill

Is that within the rules? I cannot find it in the Fifth Amendment. Perhaps the esteemed previous poster meant Becontree?

You know perfectly well that the District Line is banned when Jupiter is anywhere near alignment with Saturn. I really can't see what to do to put things right. Let me sulk quietly at Tufnell Park for a while.

I'll move us the short distance to Highgate then, while you think about it.

Except in British Summer Time on Sundays and the year must add up to an even number I believe.

No diagonal or using escalators but I'm going with the safe move of Archway.

 

[DerekC]

Doh! - why didn't I think of that! Now I can see the way clear as far as Tooting Bec. After that I forecast more trouble.

 

[najaB]

Questioning the moderation team? How dare.

I raise you a toot or two, at Tooting Bec.

I fear we may be stuck in a loop! I'm going to try an invoke some religious assistance to save us from Nid and call on the Angel.

 

[A Challenge]

After a quick trip into The Angel pub invoking the August rules amendment, we find ourselves back at Morden having fallen asleep on the train back.

 

[adrock1976]

I have spotted a Fridays Only special move to avoid Nidd.

For The Life of Brian, we all might as well move in the totally opposite direction to High Barnet

PS Monty Python's "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" makes reference to Barnet FC.

 

[DerekC]

A rash move, in my opinion. Having fallen into a loop earlier, I fear the onset of a Northern Line Oscillation. An orthogonal move is called for. Although the Central Line has its own stability issues, the best I can think of just now is Perivale.

Surely the instability would mean we should actually be going to Hanger Lane?

All of those diagonal moves and invalid moves has got me in a spin, therefore I will play a horizontal Sundays Only move to Hanger Lane

We're still stuck in the loop, I fear it might be time to call it... I'm going to try one last time to get us back into normal space: Goodge Street

I fear this latest round is fast becoming like a soap opera. Grange Hill.

Two fictional tube stations in a row brings us nicely to the last station on the line: Mornington Crescent.

Grange Hill isn't fictional though, so that makes your declaration of Mornington Crescent invalid.

Indeed it does! Thanks for the correction - got caught out by the school being in a fictional borough. Though, please everyone be careful: another fictional station and we've had it!

 

[transportphoto]

Uh oh! Must stay firmly within the realms of real life. Maybe a rail replacement bus terminal will help us out?

Newbury Park

 

[DerekC]

Oh no - another kind of loop! Does one resonate with the other, I wonder? Now, no fiction and something stable and real. Can't really think of anything more solid than .... Bank

 

[najaB]

Have you guys got a Bank of these stored up?

Bingo!

Bank

The loops are getting almost impossible to avoid! I dinnae ken how much more she can take, Captain.

Full power, warp factor 9 to Pimlico!

Let's go north for an expensive night out with Seven Sisters.

Burnt Oak, Sevenoaks, Seven Sisters

Infinite recursion! Got to try a hail Mary pass to get us out of the loop: Gospel Oak

 

[DerekC]

That did seem to work - the thaumometer is down a couple of cubits. Keeping on theme and my fingers crossed - Parsons Green

 

[Ostrich]

With the thaumometer now suitably depressed, perhaps it's time to take a gamble with Ladbroke Grove .....

Had it not been for having to wear my mask and not being a cheapskate (!!), I'd have taken them for a lush meal at Boston Manor.
