Finsbury/Elkington hasn’t been used for years - not since The Birmingham Incident. Do try to stay current.
Woodgrange Park
If you want a current game, start your own !
Brixton
Hammersmith! Under the No-Sleep-'Til-Rule, this should have an impact. A quadruple interchange to shake off followers. this is the Dope, not Instabrat!
Sloane Square
Wait - Circle or District line? If it’s Circle, I cry foul. As demonstrated by the 1985 Johannesburg Friendly and reinforced by the 1996 Glasgow Open (Never you mind the brawl that broke out. There is absolutely no evidence I was involved), the Circle line is closed off after the No-Sleep-'Til-Rule has been invoked.
Aldgate
This is exactly why i specified the Finsbury/Elkington rules (1977).
They’re simple, unambiguous and non fungible.
Any post 1977 amendments do not apply.
So…
Knightsbridge
Aw, come on, do not apply is not even a proper Station! I must urge more caution when bolding. Italics is the way to go in such cases, as per the Montmorency Addendum Appendix.
So three stations up to Pickaninny Piccadilly Circus. If pickpocketing tourists does not give me some points at last, I don’t know what will.
Speaking of points I’m going to spend half of my remaining points to change to a Bakerloo line destination. Since I assume we’re playing New American Rules (2020 Amended) that means I can choose any station on that line. I say…Paddington
I do not think New American Rules can apply, since we have at least one antipodean player, and @pjd is insistent on Finsbury/Elkington (despite the obvious asbestos hazard). I may have to look into some of my back copies of Twistleton’s Monthly to find a good play.
Rickmansworth
I’ll do a zone 7 lateral and take us to Carpender’s Park
Wow! Just Wow! What a glorious play. Magnifique! Elegant, subtle, profound.
Look, you are obliged to tolerate neophytes invoking all the obscure, fanciful and apocryphal variants. A bit of saccharine fun. Then you can see how all that faux dross and tinsel can be swept aside, laid bare, to expose the genuine dross and tinsel underneath.
That folks is how you play.
I bow in your presence, Sir! You are a true Master. I can die happy.
White Hart Lane.
ISWYDT: Highbury & Islington
This is (supposed to be) a friendly game; there’s no need for sarcasm.
Hackney Wick
When I use sarcasm, there’s a whiff of cordite.
When I dish out genuine praise as here, I do it with a trowel.
Plaistow, just to watch what happens next.
Plaistow? Plaistow?!? The heck am I supposed to do with that? Time to break out the Old School strategies.
South Kensington
Putney Bridge
HaHaHaHaHa !!! Get out of that, suckers !
You asked for it: Baker Street Elemen… no, actually not a quote. Just tempting to say it. hehehehe…
When the going get’s tough, the tough go to:
Bond Street
Monument
Preston Road. Still laughing? Thought so. <smirk…>
