Well, it may be a complicated game, but one is never too stupid or too intelligent to take part in it. Just get the feel of it, and you will enjoy it. 19 hrs without a countermove? Fine, double move for me, and it's Elephant &Castle [spoiler]this is coming dangerously close to a Straight Home Sl...

Wow, great one.

Monument

Watch it, tavarichtch!

Outer reversal at this stage, and you're liable to disappear into a looong Spoon if an adverse player manages a sideways tripover - such as, in this case

(Actually I didn't have my lungs examined, it was the qualifying exam for the title "pneumolgy specialist", but anyhow):

Bright the world now shines,
Though shrouded in winter's mist.
Because pass I did!

This borders on the irregular, but participants have been known to take detours.... O.K., let's see how we can - ah

London City Airport

The new lines really make the game more complex, don't they?

In a similar vein, why not a nice 7x50 binocular and a turnable star chart + a "go stargazing with granny and Lance and have barrels of hot chocolate at your favourite inn afterwards" voucher. (O.K., not cheap, but you don't want to be responsible if Universities can't get decent science s...

Well, all the more reason to join in :D

Absolutely not! :shock: We are playing a very serious game here, and too many such remarks will not sit well with the players. Surely for the information age literate person, it should be possible to obtain some useful information about the nature, rules and habits of the Mornington Crescent culture...

It is!

Isn't this so much better than American "Football"?

Yes, Goodge Street's the one. Otherwise it would have to have been knip or MC in two This way, however... :-k Let's see what we can do with Moorgate [spoiler]Goodge Stret was indeed the only one with which Heid culd avoid knip or have me move to Mornington Crescent directly. The move i called the st...

Yeah, that happens - I thought I had sticks at BAUT in Deep Knip once and forgot about a new stratagem first employed in the 2005 World Championship - he slammed home to MC n one move. Man, that hurt a lot.

It doesn't any more. It's gone.

I wish I could count a llama among my friends.

Chapeau!

Hmmm, maybe

Finsbury Park 8)

I will say Mornington Crescent in 2. Not yet, man, not yet: That would have been possible (I know, the old wag the dog twice stratagem) only with Heid still in rucksack, which I ended with my move to Oval (by Second line change Commandment), and there is that free line change after it - never seen ...

Considering the troubles it's having at the moment you wouldn't even know if it's still therewhen you come to visit next time

Hah! Make you sweat...

Oval

Hmmm, 59 %, and I've lived here all my life.
Probably because they confuse being German with following certain Bavarian folklore. But doesn't everyone...?

Du schaffst es! Und dann mußt Du Deutsch lernen...

I wish I could use the night for some stargazing instead of... you know.

You didn't. It was a week ago.

I wish all this forum nonsense wouldn't distract me from revising for my exam...

Well what could he possibly do with domineering moderatrices like these?
