Would it be illegal to run under the same name again, and hope no-one can better it this time around?

I don't actually plan to use it again, but I was just wondering.
We were talking about team names at work this week and I mentioned some from last year including the winning name and "Euston we have a problem" which I agree that was of the best ones from 2006 :D

I have a couple of crackers this year, hopefully the tumbleweed won't blow across the room when they are read out :oops:

If that happens, don't blame me.

I'll be taking the piss out of anything that deserves it :)

Since I don't appear to be able to get my numbers to add up twice in a row, can I just check them here :)

64 Stations in Z1
1 of which is closed
3 of which we've done before

leaving 60 possible start stations?

And for a small fee it can be arranged that a station on the southern part of the District line doesn't get chosen ... ;)

I'm waiting for Ric to post something about that.

But I can assure you I'm not female.

Actually not all that bad. You have to choose either NR or a double back at Vauxhall...

...or something completely different. Are we going to be allowing Crazy Interchange Stations (such as Kings Cross) to be chosen too?

My money is on Victoria being drawn.
Symetrically it would fit well given previous stations selected for the start.
The same would apply to Green Park as well.
One day I shall return!
