Mornington Crescent

[318266]

Interesting, it played the animal variant of the wormhole. Therefore we must purchase a turkey from Watford High Street

 

[Loppylugs]

Only one more Saturday before Christmas, so better start my shopping now.
Lucy Lastic and I are off to Shepherds Bush Market today.

 

[Spamcan81]

As I am watching a programme about an Aston Martin, I'll go to Bond Street.

 

[Ashley Hill]

As it's a Saturday Kensington (Olympia)

 

[johnnychips]

Because of the above’s unique location, I think I am able to employ the rarely-used ‘ratchet backtrack’ move to Vauxhall.

 

[DerekC]

For once my trusty almanac has let me down, so I don't know whether the planetary alignments support the really radical move that is possible here, before the launch window closes. Waterloo's huge gravitational pull gives us the extra momentum needed to transit direct to .. Wood Green.

 

[Trackman]

That is a passive move, so White City to gain momentum.

 

[Purple Train]

The MGR has finally kicked into life and sent me to Goldhawk Road.

 

[Ashley Hill]

I shall advance one space and go Hammersmith.

 

[Loppylugs]

Remarkable. I always thought hedgehogs hibernated in winter. However, saw one this morning obviously flattened by a vehicle of some sort.
Yes, he was Preston Road.

 

[Ashley Hill]

Ah,Penge West!

 

[318266]

We must stop the Penge escape, therefore we pull down the New Cross Gate

 

[Trackman]

Interesting move. Going with Paddington. This is the Circle and Hammersmith & City station; just to be clear before the mods start messaging me.

 

[htafc]

From Darkest Peru, to Scandinavia... I propose Denmark Hill.

 

[ABB125]

I believe, if I've understood the rules correctly, that in this situation I can utilise the rarely-used double-switchback triple crossover roundabout sliderule procedure, which produces a result of Queenstown Road

 

[DerekC]

No, no, no! The double switchback triple crossover can't be used on Sundays - please read Rule 17(b)(iii) clause 74. However what's done can't be undone so the only answer is to declare temporary insanity and head for Therapia Lane.

 

[Ashley Hill]

Going up and slightly to the west Mill Hill East.

 

[Purple Train]

I'm going to prepare for tomorrow's Morning Prayer service at All Saints.

 

[Loppylugs]

Crikey, All Saints. I can only manage to find one in St. James' Park.

 

[ABB125]

There's only one permissible route from there, one ends up at Victoria

 

[Purple Train]

The Teeth Amendment specifies that a move played at 14.55 on a Monday must always end up in Tower Gateway.

The Teeth Amendment specifies that a move played at 14.55 on a Monday must always end up in Tower Gateway.

Deary me! You've forgotten about the 63rd Amendment Rules! Part D, clause 534, subsection 21, rule 1468.37 very clearly states that a move at 1455 on a Monday must end up at London Bridge

 

[Spamcan81]

At this time of day there is only one possible move - according to Jupp (September 1937 version) - and that is Bank.

 

[Purple Train]

Deary me! You've forgotten about the 63rd Amendment Rules! Part D, clause 534, subsection 21, rule 1468.37 very clearly states that a move at 1455 on a Monday must end up at London Bridge

You are quite correct.
However, I have just found the 64th Amendment Rules, and Part F, clause 858, subsection 67, rule 2738.935, footnote 121, font size 3 states that a move at 17.55 on a Monday must end up at Heron Quays.

 

[rapmastaj]

With all those amendments under my belt, there's barely space left for mince pies and brandy. At this rate, the next chimney will be one squeeze too far unless I can find a Custom House.

 

[DerekC]

It's quite clear that everyone else is ignoring the rules of this game, so why should I spend hours researching them? I'll just go where the current takes me - Ampere Lane.

 

[Ashley Hill]

Well I’m just going to go all metric at Imperial Wharf.

 

[Purple Train]

I'm going to head off to West Acton for the fifth night of the Christmas pantomime.

 

[Spamcan81]

With all this avian flu about, it has to be Cockfosters

 

[InkyScrolls]

If I've understood the rules correctly - taking the recently published Mornington Crescent Almanac & Omnibus, Winter 2022/23 Edition (ed. Gobnal-Green, et al.) into account, I've been left with the unfortunate position of being able to play only fourth-ranking stations (under Cheesegrain's rankings; see Umpires of the Empire, Cheesegrain & Alderman, 2009:2). To avoid Nip, I must choose either Chalk Farm, Putney or Swiss Cottage; however as a Northerner I am bound by Lord Umpleby's Rule - so Chalk Farm it must be.
