Mornington Crescent

[Asset]

all guns blazing for the luvvy fest.

High Holborn

[ThinLizzy]

Have to bring this out to keep the Spectrum Convention ongoing

Palmers Green

[macroban]

ZX81 convention?

This was better:

Dollis Hill

[David Mc]

Blimey - Piccadilly Circus????? Very daring. Particularly with the Spectrum Convention in play. But legal nonetheless. I propose: Kensal Green (weak I know - but so much for Brendan's prediction for Game Over in 2 moves)!

[Siduhe]

I see your Kensal Rise and raise you Clerkenwell Bypass (today being the 22nd, so the Mortimer Variation is permitted in play)...which takes us nicely to...

Pinner...

[Horsebox]

Sorry Sidhue, I don't recognise the Mortimer Variation as valid weekend play and as Branch Line edition trumps all between 02:00 and 03:00 I'm going with:

High Barnet.

[Siduhe]

And normally I would accept Branch Line edition (although, High Barnet, really?), but today Jamestown memorial rules apply, so I am reversing direction with with Mortlake...

[macroban]

I go away for a little while, have my hair done, return, and I smell corruption.

If this is now a death-trip:

Waterloo

[Michael Palaeologus]

Strewth Macroban.

I have been studying that move for some time and am forced to concede that it is the first example of the Beeching Stratagem that has been seen for nearly 40 years. A BOLD and potentially devastating move indeed.

My congratulations, you seem to have succeeded.

Maida Vale - safer territory.

[David Mc]

Double digit dates (i.e. 22nd) need stations with 2 repeated letters, so well done with PiNNer. This must continue until someone moves to a legal station on the you-know-what line. I propose:

QuEEnsbury

[charliecharlie]

Come on Sidue, you know full well that once Kensal Green has been declared, the following player may not

use the Pinner move until two or more players are in confluence.

To get things back on track I feel compelled to play my 'trump card'

Ickenham!!!!

I know it's rather an obscure move, especially for Mother's Day, but you left me no alternative...

[David Mc]

Apologies for not recognising that a whole series of excellent moves had been made on the 2nd page of the thread so I thought I was responding to Sidue's expedition out to Pinner with my Queensbury move. That 2 repeating letter rule on double digit dates doesn't apply on Mothers' and Fathers' days (I looked it up) so I'm safe. Phew. But I'll have to retreat to:

Aldgate

Obviously.

[macroban]

Bah!

Aldgate is an old get out when you can't work out what comes next. This strategem was banned before you were born.

The correct move is:

Hainault

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I beg to differ, Macroban. The current moon phase is a waning crescent which means it must be Camden Town.

[ThinLizzy]

Double digit letters and for extra points adding the digits together to find the correct 'zone', hence I propose

Bounds GrEEn (Zone 4)

[buggie]

hmmmm, how about Earl's Court - instigating the sunday apostrophe rule.

[Asset]

Theydon Bois

[woofmarkthedog]

oval

[ThinLizzy]

..you can't give Oval -- it contravenes the General Shapes After Dusk Clause -- a safer option is to apply the Country Pub Garden rule, hence:

Cockfosters

[FrustratedLawyer]

I feel I must take the the bull by the horns, so without further ado I invoke the 1957 Alesbury Paradigm Variation and ...

Nelson's Column

[ThinLizzy]

...Whoah there FL, you whipped that out of the bag pretty sharpish....

[David Mc]

From where on Gaia's Earth was Nelson's Column ever a valid Mornington Crescent move? Explain - or I'm going straight to MC!

[ThinLizzy]

..It's a dire Monday, so with the Reflected Abbreviation Rule I give you:

DenMark Hill

[David Mc]

Using "The Hills Are Alive" Rule (introduced after the film of The Sound of Music came out in 1965)

Dollis Hill

[Michael Palaeologus]

Using the Ambridge parallax:

South Kenton
