Mornington Crescent

OK, then. I'm in need of some geographical exercise. If you don't know the rules and can't be bothered to Google them... well, tough.

I shall open with a Lyttleton Back-Fold.

Ruslip Gardens.

Are we playing by Dinglebury's criss-cross rule? If so; North Acton

You are correct, my friend... but, playing by the Revised Edition of Dinglebury's rule book (1994), the next player may then jump to any disabled-access station in the same travelcard zone.

Therefore... Willesden Junction.

Ahhhh! The revised edition! But that allows me to use the slide rule!

Therefore; Elephant & Castle

Curses! I forgot about the slide rule!

Baker Street.

Oxford Circus (just to play it safe)

Marble Arch.

Notting Hill Gate (Am I doing it right, using interchange stations ?)

Illegal move: Kruschev's 2001 ammendum to Dinglebury's rules state that after visiting an interchange station on the Central Line, players may not jump to another interchange station for two turns.

You miss a turn, and after that may not face North for two turns.

Holland Park.

Bank (using the Penrose-Johnson {1937 - amended 1963} rule)

Tower Hill.

I assume you are using Craig's pedestrian rule (1990, amended 1993) which allows you to walk to Monument, I can therefore use the amendment and take the DLR to Canning Town!

Yes, but you have failed to account for the fact that the amendment also means that I can now jump to London Bridge and then make an additional jump, using any mode of transport, from there.

Therefore... London Heathrow.

[COLOR="White"]hint: if you go to King's Cross or Kentish Town, I get Mornington Crescent[/COLOR]

The BAA rules do specify that if you go to Heathrow, you must specify the terminal! However since they are on the same line; Finsbury Park!

(and I suppose a lot of you non-brits are wondering what is going on! LOL)

I know that Transatlantic Rules are generally frowned upon these days but, for the sake of inclusiveness, may I call Times Square?

Keith

Ah! Clever use of Fosbury's Slingshot there, so this shall be interesting...

Canal Street.

Sorry must bring it back to Britain, so I invoke the Rhyddol rule (available only in Welsh); Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch :lolflag::lolflag::lolflag:

Oh, very good. But you really had two turns there, didn't you, because you had to jump to JFK first...?

Therefore I invoke the Anglesey Escape Rule, which allows me to jump to anywhere within the European Economic Area.

Donc... je visite la Gare du Nord.

Sangatte

Lille.

Using the Detent d'Paris Stratagem of 1537, amended five minutes later; Brussels MIDI

Using Littlejohn's EU escape manoeuvre (trust me, that's not one I wanted to invoke)...

Grange Hill.

I which case I am forced to evoke Quarks Theorem (Stardate 51298.3); Eastenders! :lolflag:

OK then, matey. You asked for it. :lol:

Using Picard's Nacelle-Assisted Slide Rule:

Barnard's Star IV at Warp 7.

And according to Szilard's Idle-Engine theorem (stardate 41468.2, amended 59554.7)... after twenty-four hours of no moves, the game jumps back to a randomly-selected station in Travelcard zone 1.

Picadilly Circus.

And by the Bletchley park convention 1987... Mornington Crescent! No, wait, actually... can't do that, because von Maus's rule dictates the square-triangular nature of Picadilly circus, Mornington crescent becomes Balham for fifteen turns.
