Okay, seriously…you guys are speaking English, right?
Yes. I think that’s the problem. 
Rotherhithe. (Diagonals are void, aren’t they?)
Sheesh. Why didn’t you tell me we were playing Goldsborough-Thompson rules? I wasn’t expecting my Bank Holiday blue token play to be in any way controversial. As you wish.
Listen, you guys, since this is a thread about “American culture for non-US’ers”, if you’re going to start tossing around funny terms from wherever, could you kindly explain?
And btw, Bank Holidays are one of those concepts that most of us furriners have problems with. In most countries, banks only close on days that are holidays for everybody. Same with American Government Holidays: they’re not a “country shuts down” kind of holiday, like they’d be in most countries, but merely a " federal government offices shut down" kind of holiday. So not a holiday at all unless you’re a federal office worker.
Sorry for hijacking this thread. I originally demanded that it be flown to Cuba, but GorillaMan (correctly) pointed out that doing so would take me south of the river, and that would place me directly off-fotheringhammed unless I had a comissioner’s exemption. Apologies. It was truly a schoolboy error on my part.
Is shooting an Aussie illegal?
throws balled-up paper at Aussie instead
I’d play but I’m in Spoon in fiendishly intractable way.

Thank you, Struan, let me know where do you want the thank-you cookies sent…
No cookies for you!
You English types, always trying to bastardize our pure language…
Heh.
Indeed it was. Of course, under the Snider-Fosbury rules of 1909, it would have been quite alright to take this thread to Tanganyika or Singapore, but only if you changed at Charing Cross and passed through Waterloo (not Waterloo International!) Station, provided it wasn’t Queen’s Birthday Weekend, in which case you can only transit through Heathrow Terminal 2 before lunchtime. 
I’ve never understood the complication regarding trans-lateral intersections and Waterloo East. Can you elaborate?
I think old man Tewkesbury finessed that move in '27, but gulp everyone else since has been trapped at Dollis Hill.
Well, not strictly, but the Tewkesbury Maneouvre has been a bit harder to successfully play since the Blitz, although a modified version does allow you to go via Cabinet War Rooms.
What are these “cookies” of which you speak? As long as I can have biscuits with my nice cup of tea, I’m happy.
Do you put gravy on those biscuits?
no cookies for amarone? OK, then… here, thank-you biscuits for amarone…
tin can’s empty, no more cookies or biscuits to go around
Gravy on biscuits?
Are you mad?
