David Mc Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 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)!

Horsebox Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 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 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 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...

Michael Palaeologus Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 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 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 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 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5709-mornington-crescent/page/2/#findComment-183591 Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliecharlie Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 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 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 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:AldgateObviously.

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I beg to differ, Macroban. The current moon phase is a waning crescent which means it must be Camden Town.
