We should all look at the flat lizards as an example for how we should conduct territorial disputes. I’ll go ahead and flaut wildly and wait for your answer.
Notting Hill.
A perfect example, from recent cinematic history no less. We have much to flaunt about behind closed curtains.
Oh, please. That station was discontinued in '57.
As I said earlier; Avoid the river at all cost!
It’s true that Thorold Gossett’s theoretical work has taken some of the excitement out of Mornington Crescent, but there are plenty of variations still to be analyzed.
Marie of Romania has long been a popular game at the Bethlem Royal Hospital, but now we’re experimenting with playing Mornington Crescent and Marie of Romania simultaneously. You can’t play unless you make legal moves in both games at once, and you don’t get full victory unless you are Marie of Romania at the Mornington station. It’s a very tough game: the closest we’ve come to a full victory is when Marie of Romania made it to Warrington Crescent. To make the game workable at all, each player starts with an extra 12 red stickers, 5 large chocolate toffees, and a Get Out of Heathrow Free card.
12?
That’s numberwang!
I’d like to respond to the OP, but I’m in Nidd.
In your case, I would recommend taking Tooting Bec to Charing Cross, as Queen Anne’s Dispensation applies for persons in your condition during the period between New Year’s and Three Kings Day.
I was quite under the impression that Queen Anne’s Dispensation only counted if the penultimate player’s turn had landed him or her in West Acton or East Putney, according to the Landsdale Maneuver of 1958. Allowing the use of the Dispensation without either of the preceding conditions is clearly a violation of the spirit – if not the actual letter – of Landsdale’s addendum.
Landsdale’s addendum?
Bloody heathens…
Doesn’t that only apply if the next opposition player is on a cross-diagonal?
During the Lewis and Clark expedition, *three *translaters were needed to negotiate the purchase of horses and other supplies from the Shoshone Indians. Capt. Meriwether Lewis spoke English to François Labiche (whom they’d picked up as a boatman on the Missouri River), who spoke French to Sacagawea’s husband, Toussaint Charbonneau, who spoke Hidatsa (a Siouan language) to his wife, who spoke Shoshone (an Uto-Aztecan language) with the chieftain (Sacagawea’s own brother).
I don’t see what that has do with the Acton Road gambit, since none of those people were married to a Catholic nor did they have a special dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury.
But if you view the Mississippi River as the Bakerloo Line, the Missouri as the Piccadilly, the Yellowstone as the Northern, the Clearwater River as the Jubilee, and of course the Columbia maps to the Hammersmith; from there it’s obvious St Louis is East Ham, Fort Mandan is Hyde Park Corner, and Fort Clatsop represents Willesden Green; finally, Sacagawea is a clear stand in for the Archbishop, as are the Shoshone for the CoE. From that obvious analogy, I would think the application of the Acton Road gambit should be clear, and the implications of the winter rules for Shepherd’s Bush Market crossover shunt become self-apparent.
