Liking the gambit, but I'll see if a goonish comment will make him show his true colours and make Eccles say 'Earthquakes in East Acton'.

 

[High Dyke]

Ooh...I'm on to you my good man... You don't catch me out that easily...trying to say 'Earthquakes in East Acton'.

I'm going to see what my friend Bluebottle says about this... He comes from East Finchley

Mad Dan Eccles

 

[backontrack]

Ahah. Carpenters Park!

You didn't see that one coming, did you?

 

[Bodie]

We most move on by bringing into use the 1972 local government parking enforcement act:

Therefore we're now at Hyde Park Corner

 

[90019]

I think I'll take this opportunity to use the Fruitbat manoeuvre, and take us on over to Arble March Marble Arch.

 

[backontrack]

Um, oh dear.

I'll make the only move possible from this situation: Bethnal Green.

 

[Bodie]

It falls to me to enact the 'nobody's had a go in over 12 hours' rule which means we are sent kicking and screaming with a tiger in a wheelbarrow to...

London Bridge

 

[backontrack]

And as to get away from the 'Life of Pi' style move made previous to ours, we jump out of said wheelbarrow and board a Northern Line train to Borough.

I feel we getting off piste here - need a fast skeleton run down hill all the way to Westminster Jubilee line

 

[Buttsy]

"You fall asleep on a District line train, go to the end of the line (Upminster) and miss a turn"

 

[DarloRich]

it could be worse - you could be in Morden on the last tube of the night having meant to get off in central London.

 

[Buttsy]

"Missing turn"

 

[deltic]

it could be worse - you could be in Morden on the last tube of the night having meant to get off in central London.

ending up at West Ruislip is worse

 

[backontrack]

Not Ongar, when it was open?

Nowadays we must detrain at Epping.

Hampstead Heath

RUBBISH!!!! You've put almost every play in Nidd with that move. Remembering Unsworth's second rule, I think a move to Alperton will allow all those players living below the Bristol - Wash line to escape from Nidd.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Oops!!!! By freeing everyone else up below the line, I've landed myself in bl**dy Nidd! Grrrrrrrrr!!!!!!

 

[DarloRich]

The only possible thing we can do from here is Turnham Green

 

[Buttsy]

Still in Nidd

 

[backontrack]

Buttsy that was stupid. There was always one move possible. Remember the Pimlico Proviso?

Stockwell via the Victoria Line.

 

[DarloRich]

As it is League Cup final day - Wembley Central

 

[High Dyke]

Keeping up that sporting connotation...we venture to Oval

 

[Buttsy]

You and a friend desire to watch the boat race. Go to Putney Bridge and miss a turn.

Oh dear...

you and your friend's desire turns amourous and you stay the night in local hotel - miss another go

Oh...perhaps it's not so bad missing a turn after all.

 

[DarloRich]

We are not going to Clapham Common again are we?

 

[deltic]

We are not going to Clapham Common again are we?

Certainly not - as Stovold makes clear when there are two missed turns players must travel on the first available rail replacement bus service provided that the bus is non-DDA compliant, at least twenty years old and in a non-standard livery - Sullivan Buses are usually acceptable. For the mobility impaired a TfL replacement taxi (in reality usually an Addison Lee mini-cab) is acceptable.

By a strange quirk of fate this somehow leaves us at Victoria Coach Station

 

[backontrack]

Aargh, we're in Nidd again!

Only one way out. Hatton Cross.

 

[Buttsy]

I'm going to have to trump that using Charing Cross, Kings Cross and Brent Cross
