Explain please this "wider phallic manoeuvre". It's not in my edition (which admittedly is not quite up-to-date) and is obviously the only reason why Canada Water could be illegal. FL clearly agrees. Please explain in suitable MC detail why you can claim to have won.

Ah but its quite elementary my dear David. If memory serves me correct it was first used during by Liberated Mornington Crescent Society during the 3rd Glastonbury Festival (it was fringe gathering only reported in the local press). It was considered far too risqu? and puerile until its revival and inclusion in the mainstream game by the Royal Society in 1993.


The easiest way to explain would be for me to take you through the moves we have seen above:


Cockfoster's -> Nelson's Column -> St John's Wood


Successful execution usually leads to victory within 6 moves.

Quite - never can put things in simple terms! One minute they're accusing the winner of trickery and calling for an enquiry (I concede by the way), the next they're defending them using the most arcane rules of them all. Game in 6? Pah! We had same in 3 predicted before and that never happened.


But (grudgingly) - well done Peckhamgatecrasher. Let's play again sometime, though I'll need to review a more recent rulebook with this sort of competition!

Sorry but I Haven't A Clue why nobody else hasn't objected to this reference to Humphrey.


Mis-spelling of that fine fellow Humphrey LYttleton surely disqualifies PGC's thread-winning move?


Referee(!)(?)

I am an independent adjudicator from The Royal Society. This game was called to my attention by one of the players. I've put the moves through the Society's Analyser and technically none are illegal. There have been some churlish and rather silly, wicked and confusifying moves (e.g. the game could have been brought to an end after the move to Nelson's Column [via Monument obviously]).


I have no choice but to reset it to VICTORIA (get it)?!!


Enjoy the rest of the game (shouldn't be too far off now).

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
