Mornington Crescent - New Game, Beginners Welcome

00:58 / 03.01.03

Sidestepping the trap you have set to box me in, Chairman: St John's Wood, in the biblical sense.

Brigade du jour

02:39 / 03.01.03

Queensway. You asked for that under the 1975 Teddy Bear amendment.

07:32 / 03.01.03

Cruel, cruel...

Damnable President of Peru and his Teddy Bear Amendment. You have been doing your research, Brigadier. I am stymied, momentarily.

14:03 / 03.01.03

Shepherds Bush. That'll put your gas at a peep!

Jack Fear

15:07 / 03.01.03

Such cunning webs you weave, Xoc.

You leave me no recourse but... Marylebone!

Brigade du jour

20:30 / 03.01.03

Anally retentive I know, but ...

Mudchute.

Sorry by the way, I don't know how to put my stations in bold! Duh, computer virgin ...

09:08 / 04.01.03

Felicia: Put < b > and < /b > round whatever you want to bold-lerise, without the spaces and Bob's your slightly seedy uncle that always made you play 'horsey' as a young child.

Meanwhile, due to a hangover, I'm going to play Camden Town. Solid and dependable.

10:02 / 04.01.03

And, these days, comes complete with body parts in black plastic too.

Body parts: only way to go is LIVERpool Street (invoking the Rose West Revisions of Chalk Farm).

Brigade du jour

19:46 / 04.01.03

Whitechapel. Abberline rules 1888.

And how did you know about my uncle ... ?

11:34 / 05.01.03

Oklahoma

11:21 / 06.01.03

Zagros Seven

Sorry, force of habit. BTW, did anyone hear the 'Best of ISIHaC' on Radio 4 yesterday morn. I know, I know, most of you were still unconscious but they had Raymond Baxter doing the commentary for MC...

Tottenham Court Road
Just to swive Felicia, because I know ze likes it, and I used to laugh at her uncle, because he was Bobby Ball, of Cannon and Ball fame.

Whisky Priestess

16:10 / 06.01.03

I'm more of a listener to than a player of this game (and of course it's a thrilling spectator sport - ITV is biddong for the rights as I type) so I don;t tknow if this is terribly naive, but -

Warwick Avenue

16:11 / 06.01.03

Pimlico

16:37 / 06.01.03

Nobody likes a show-off, you know, grant. Well, we like you because of the whiskers but a handlebar moustache will butter few parsnips in the ancient Burgundian enclave of Pimlico. So, for your own protection, I shall spirit you away to Earls Court, where the boys in the Coleherne will know what to do with you.

And, yes, SIHaC was exquisite, Lord Flowers.

14:39 / 08.01.03

Faker reflux - there is no Oklahoma.

Fenchurch

this may seem like a silly move but i refer you to the Wandering Jew clause...

Goodge Street

Standard Monk's Gambit, so obviously:

Tottenham Court Road

Hattie's Kitchen

12:58 / 09.01.03

Warren Street

wembley can change in 28 days

09:42 / 10.01.03

Gah, It's difficult to get ones head around these 'Express' games when one is used to games that take days and involve sleeping bags, provisions and small stoves for cooking the sausages...

Euston- Bank Branch only

13:01 / 10.01.03

Wembley Central

And I know I can do that, because it's my first time.

grant

13:22 / 10.01.03

Blackfriars.

A young wembley's first time should be such a magical, beautiful thing....

wembley can change in 28 days

13:48 / 10.01.03

Would you believe, grant, my knees are still shaking?

14:40 / 10.01.03

First time I played MC I was sick afterwards...

19:05 / 10.01.03

I always enjoy a cigarette afterwards. Sometimes, I find, the Earth moves. Causing delays at Paddington.

Tezcatlipoca

19:25 / 10.01.03

My first time was whilst listening to Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture (which was subsequently delayed until 18:47 owing to leaves on the line). A vicious game in which double-loop shunts were wild and, paradoxically, there was only one 'Ffenning Bypass' accorded to each player.

Which reminds me...

Paddington

20:14 / 10.01.03

God Tez, I never realised your upbringing was so rough, so much of your past now makes a morbid kind of sense...
Great Portland Street

Constitution Hill

23:01 / 10.01.03

There are always delays at Paddington.

so Goldhawk Road

11:38 / 11.01.03

On the subject of delays at Paddington I'll plaay the much coveted Mile End

No stations with the letter "r" in them for three moves. No exceptions except for Pirates who are allowed to have an Arghhh in any move.

12:19 / 11.01.03

Old Kent Road, arrrh! *strokes parrot and rattles doubloons*

14:04 / 11.01.03

< Monty Python >

What about Saint Arghhhhhhhh! in Cornwall?

< /Monty Python >

Tezcatlipoca

17:53 / 11.01.03

Stop that. Silly person. Now, for the young at heart and weak in the head:

Embankment

12:25 / 12.01.03

Xoc, if them doubloons is actually made of chocolate then I'm going to have to collect a tax for my move to East India
