ah, but if theydon bois is in contempt, aswell as an east london line station being played after a dysilian edgware shuffle, then i will be safe and sound with northwood hills!

A bifurcated deviation this close to the Autumnal Equinox???!!!??? I believe that the Chief Invigilator might need to rule on that later! But for now, I'll just execute a double-bowed slipknot manoevre to take us to EALING COMMON.

it was not bifurcated - it would have been had i said northwood without the hills, but that station was and still is plinched.

i shall therefore take this chance to unplinch the entire met line with a stratichavozlic bohemian u-turn and swerve us around to south kenton.

It is bifurcated, like an Aorta, and through the Aorta runs red stuff. Thus under the Johnny Hallyday rules (1978), I'd move to Gare De Lyon (on the red RER A)

Zut alors! Changer a la ligne bleu pour l'aeroport Charles De Gaulle, prener l'avion direction Londres Gatwick, puis le train "Gatwick Express", arriver a VICTORIA (c'est la rule Mireille Matthieu, avec beaucoup de vibrato).

Paris?!?! this is mornington crescent, not mornington croissant!!

in your attempt to be cultured you have taken us to victoria cos you said it, which was a big mistake, oh yes...... Euston (bank branch)

I would question a trip to France as "cultured".

However, under the 1986 Strasbourg Convention I can now execute a bilingual inverse shunt to ...

Theydon Bois

Aaaarrghhhh!!! That forces me into a Moriarty obtuse flange taking me to BAKER STREET (Circle Line, anti-clockwise).

CrunchySaviour · Post by **CrunchySaviour** » 22 Sep 2005, 15:45

Due to the acuteness of that obtuse flange, I would strongly advise players in the future not to play Camden Town (Edgware branch) for fear of placing Finchley Road in both knip and double Contempt.

De-flanging the Circle Line and inverting Baker Street under the Holmes-Crick Addendum of 2001 (Jubilee extension reversal), I take us to

ACTON TOWN.

There's far too much obtuse flanging going on here - just as well we're outside Zone 1 or the helix would be thoroughly shafted.

Placing Finchley Road in Double Contempt is contemptuous in the extreme, but I'm glad you inverted Baker Street because I can now trade in two yellow tokens in order to restore the flangedness of the Circle line AND at the same time apply spoon to the entire Hammersmith and City Line, thus enabling me and all odd numbered player henceforth to play the rather obscure, yet elegant, triple inverse-shunt reversal pincer contortional corkscrew via Russell Square and end up at ...

Oval

i dont have a clue what this means so ill just go for the jonny lyon manoevre which was added to the custom (2005) revised rules and go for Southfields.

Post by **tubeguru** » 22 Sep 2005, 21:24

Ah yes, I saw that rule and thought it was quite cunning myself. Not sure what everyone else thinks of it but nonetheless:

Ealing Common

Ah, now since you Ovalled Ealing Common, I think I can rudely jump in here and go for the delightfully saucy Ruislip Gardens.

Well that's just asking for a lesser-spotted-U1, reverse shunt all the way on the outer flange to the abandoned station at Hounslow Barracks and back isn't it?

Still i didn't see it coming, but at the drop of my Oyster card, I shall travel with immediate ease to ... Park Royal.

Which leaves you with only one of two options...

Can an industrial park really be classed as "Royal"?

And, in English, the adjective should come before the noun, meaning that it should be called ROYAL PARK, like the Adelaide suburb that you obviously nicked it from! (Noun before adjective would be allowable in French, c.f. "Parc Royale", but let's not go there again).

But I digress....

Playing a tangential discombulation to WEST HAMPSTEAD.
