Damn, Damn, Damn!
If only it were a full moon I could have played Tufnell Park.
As it is I think the best I can manage is Golders Green

I'll use a Carnot flick to take us to Edgware road

domh245 but which one? If it's the Bakerloo line then I can employ the Edwinson Manoeuvre to arrive at Hainault, but that's obviously not permitted from stations served exclusively by sub-surface trains so I'll have to make do with Temple.

Apologies. I did of course mean the Bakerloo station as a Carnot flick, as you know, can only be used between stations with only a single line serving the station, so the SSR station was explicitly ruled out.

Ah, I misread that as the "Carnet flick" which would have been valid to any Zone 1 station served by London Underground (except of course those that would have been served by the Deep Level District scheme) under the circumstances. Anyway, we are still at Hainault, and it is not my turn.

It's a pity that we're not playing by the Essex rules as the allows (with the prior agreement of the chair) the playing of obliques. Although this leaves me with quite a few choices, few of them are useful, and I'm thus going to go for a safety play:
Gunnersbury.

It's now Friday so the Temperance Hall hop is not allowed, which somewhat limits my options, but I'm feeling brave so I'll risk a trip to York Road.

With that (implied or actual) time shift the old standard-stock 'cut & shut' manoeuvre (see extended-appendix L11) also comes into play. So I can move directly to: Kings Cross

I didn't realise everyone was going to be playing so dirty! I've been forced to call upon the "Bush Theory" which as you all know states that any time Kings Cross is played without the apostrophe one would have to play Debden however as miff followed up with two smiling faces I have no alternative but to play... Harrow & Wealdstone

I'm sorry, Deep Level, but you've left me no choice but to invoke Lambda Rule 4a section 9, which allows me to play Turkey Street but restricts all pseudonymous players to stations in odd numbered zones for 6 hours, 6 turns or until 6am (whichever is the shorter).

Well in that case I'll have to play the second variation on the Fischer manoeuvre in order to end up at Harringay Green Lanes.

As it's a Saturday, I'm going to take advantage of the Sophocles Convention, which allows me, until sunset at Greenwich, any station mentioned in a pop song that also involved money, and play: Finchley Central (2/6 from Golders Green on the Northern Line)

In which case South Wimbledon seems like a good next play.

With more than 48 hours since the last move either everyone like myself had a long hard weekend of drinking. Or, as a result of Chris's last move (a Stovold classic) followed by a points failure, everyone is in Nidd. Except me. Therefore:
Mornington Crescent.
As the winner of this game it falls upon me to quote Nigel Mansell's immortal line which he used to say at the end of every single Grand Prix (including the ones where he started in Pole and led all the way) "It was a tough race"

We therefore have to adjourn to Croxley..........

I was going to follow that with Bethnal Green but I think we really need to try and avoid a repeat of the Quickson Disaster of 95 and I fear that move would put us at risk of that again, therefore I will play...
Seven Kings.

This is an unusual (and, I have to say, rather difficult) position in which to find oneself.
Fortunately, thanks to the work done on the proof of conformal invariance of percolation and the planar Ising model in statistical physics, for which Stanislav Smirnov won the Field's Medal in Hyderbad, India, in 2010, it's now definitively proven that Ladbroke Grove is a fully valid play here.

Having been released from detention I have decided to play it safe for now and recover from the waterboarding at Cutty Sark for Maritime Greenwich (clearly permitted by S.P.V. Smith's treatise of 2007).

The radio version baffled me, too.
