    A most unusual, neutral opening. Trying to lull us into a false sense of security, eh?

    Best be careful then. I’ll play East Ham. The walkways between escalators between Bank and Monument count as phase switchers, I believe.

    Elephant & Castle… which, under the ‘Animal or Mineral’ variant rules counts as a double word score, I believe 🙂

    shall we play threaded, or non-threaded games? in either case, I believe the appropriate move is the one suggested by Stoate’s compendium: Cannon St

    Kentish Town (showing my northern-line bias, alas)

    Ok, so we have Westminster and LHRt4.

    Bugger. Rule of fives means I have to play… erm, Pinner. I think?

    He’s trying to force Chalfont & Latimer. I’ll put a stop to that. Totteridge & Whetstone!

    You’re in danger of looping back on yourself… so I’ll play my joker and call Canary Wharf, putting you in spoon, if I’m not mistaken!

    Argh. I knew I should not have started a game in public and in knip.

    Elm Park (I seem to be stuck on outliers)

    I believe that due to the mention of a tree-based station name, I have the right to invoke the yankee bi-shunt rule. Therefore, Stanford Brook, at 6:30 on a Saturday Morning.

    At last! After missing ooh, loads of goes (thank you *so much*, Moog) I’m out on the Brook! Good thing I had that canoe.

    Turnham Green. Parks and Greens, then.

    Well, I’m *so* *sorry* but if you’re going to take 6h between turns then I think you ought to leave the fast pace of MC and go on back to your pipe and dominos!

    At this point, I’ll retire from the game… with the obvious final move of… Mornington Crescent.

    Thankyou and goodnight.

    D’oh!

    And there was me about to invoke Flinders Inverted Variation and trump you all with Spencer Street.
