I've just had a thought - does anyone else know how to play Mornington Crescent? We could have a massive game here if a few people knew! I haven't played in ages but used to be something of an expert, if I say so myself!

If you have no idea what I'm on about a basic introduction can be found here: http://www.dunx.org/mc/ or here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A617744

I'd venture that we should play by the standard Thurgood-Hamilton conversion rules, but banning semi-lateral shunts; if anyone has a better idea please say so.

And hence, my opening move has to be the McWilliams manoeuvre: Harrow-on-the-Hill it is. I eagerly await someone's response!

I'd venture that someone is clearly bored in the library.
:D

I thought about trying a double threadover. I'm told there's strike action pending, though, so I'm just going to recapitulate to Fulham Broadway.

Ooh, good move Duthie. Reminiscent of the Chelmsford game of 1992...
This could be a controversial move, but might yield good results in the end stages, Barbican

Controversial indeed Charlie; you've left the south-west diagonal open for Tyre! Fortunately I can close it by looping to South Ruislip using the new Jubilee line extension. Score!
