    Never have I seen such viscious game playing!

    In that case I shall have no other choice than to use a triple reversal and play it safe with a move to the seldom used Turnham Green.

    Oooooooh, try and stop me now!!!!!!

    Ah, I see.
    I think I will use the "Flip" move to counter the illegal Southwark move.
    Using the "Flip" manoeuvre and bypassing the, USUALLY incured, Warren Street penalty I choose


    Chalk Farm

    Sooooooooooo close ... [face_praying]


    (Oh and Richie, you miss a go and have to chose a station south of the river without and 'S' in the name next move you take!)

    I don't think so Jimbo, I invoke the rarely used "Round the corner" gambit and jump lines.

    Finchley Road & Frognal

    I can see no one has been brave enough to challenge Hal on this move.


    I will use the "Christmas card" and jump to Brent Cross.

    I realise I'm late in joining the game, but I'm calling the Old Street blunder position, and entering myself into the competition. Now, I'm going to play a old english slip knot move by taking Bank, and as every surely recalls, that entitles me to a free junction station, so I'm taking Charing Cross.


    I hope the newbies are keeping up, and are going to join us in the next round.

    Well, with all this pathetic defensive play going on, I'd be surprised if this round ever finishes :rolleyes:

    Right, let's heat things up a little

    I'm sorry, but I've shown you up on so many occasions because you over-stretch before establishing a solid backline. There is an established precedent on how to play this game, but you constantly push the limits of what is acceptable game play.

    However, I've decided to fight fire with fire (key to the yuletide variation of the rules), and slap you in the face by taking Barbican.

    I really wish I had the time and inclination to figure out how you make up your made up game.

    I'm tempted to join in and start at Mornington Crescent but I'm sure I'd get it hugely wrong.



    I think I'll just sit back and watch your Random Mumblings from my cosy seat in Piccadilly.
