    Bit pointless isnt it???


    'Mornington Crescent'

    There.

    Think that means I win.
    The overriding concept of MC is that it is played by Big Boys Rules. Those that can't justify their audacious moves with appropriate caselaw from the annals of MC therefore invalidate their move.

    Therefore I put it to the House that this leaves us back at Ravenscourt Park.

    Of course form there, with the 2008 Reduction-in-Expenditure rules limiting teams to 23 stops, that we find ourselves at:

    Bromley-by-Bow.
    Well owing to the fact that I'm off time travelling and will be back last week after collecting 12 different types of potato from farmland just outside Kiev,I think you will find that you are disqualified from playing this 'Game' anymore.

    Therefore this game restarts from Heathrow Terminal 4


    Or something.

    Re: Mornington Crescent

    I'm gonna play Withen-Smythe's Pointless Fecking Chatter Rule, and move onwards from Bromley-by-Bow.

    Alperton, as is the traditional move.

    Illegal move old boy.

    Last accurate move- Bromley By Bow.

    After my required forfeit I’ve decided to take drastic measures & play my most cunning & devious gamble- The Double penetrative bum woogle. First implemented by Lady Duckworthy-Guano in 1786, when she dropped her crumpet at a tea party in front of Sir Thomas Dashwood & the Marquis De Sade. This audacious move involves covering oneself in warm butter & going through the tube tunnel backwards, but also going forwards. Thus arriving at the destination prior to departing & being well lubed up for the next move.

    Due to the technical brilliance of this manoeuvre, the kinetic energy expended can only take one as far as the very next station – West Ham.

    Residual line velocity above 27% with a waning moon provides the opportunity to play a Herringbone Snatch. One has consulted one's Stovold but the section referring to the aforementioned move has been chewed by the dog. Using a predated Wimple, the move appears to be legitimate but one does recall a certain type of cheese was involved. No doubt Mrs Trellis will correct one sternly if a problem arises.

    I doff my cap to you sir! I know when I am outclassed and therefore plead the "mess webbley" and retire.

    Puttlock was a charletten and a walt, he unkowingly based his concepts on welsh mountain railway practice, ok for the Vale of Rheidol but quite out of place here.

    However as you have raised him I suggest we include the cross rail (pilot project) proposal and go for Southall, if we are in agreement, it was proposed this summer at the Leatherhead symposium.

    You are a bounder and a cad sir,to have defamed the name of one of the greatest living proponents of the MC game,it was he alone who fought for(By winning the Dance of the Flaming against all odds) at the Berlin beer fest in 89 for that now great move played by all renowned players of this game, namely the "Swivel Back snatch," which had been outlawed due to the implimentation of the infamous "Baron Von Snossle decree" (1889-191However, in deference to the Leatherhead symposium(at which time i might add i was a member of the committee)I will hold my fire and give you Beckton Park Have at you,you baggage.
