    Your avoidance of knip was clever, and at this early stage I could be forced to slide a tweeter in order to stay safe. Taking a risk though, I'll employ a xiphoid slip to Knightsbridge.

    I would love to play a Texan thrust right now as this would cause an abjuration of Section 4 and restrict play to the uppers line only. However, seeing as Tumble has employed an shs and Evil is playing the crafty xiphoid slip, I'm prevented becuase of the knurling cross on endline stations.

    So I think I'll stick my neck out here and play a triple-luge as demanded in an Austrian counter when all players have matched a prolapse.

    Leicester Square.

    Nay I say to you Nay, under the Horseman Deucy rule of 1964 ammendment 1.3.11.a I nullify your move to Leicester Square and make a flying triple stucka, avoiding knip to take us to Knightsbridge

    I've been looking through the newly updated copy of the rules, and it seems that the reversal of a double shunt has been outlawed without a previous declaration of either a tottled snood or a branching poke. While I considered, the latter earlier, I did not actually declare it. But we will let off Tumble on this occasion. Under the current rules I am unable to gauge an accurate move, so I will drop into Piccadilly Circus.

    Well if the use of the new rules has scared everyone off, what say we just revert to how it was before. Standard rules, double shunts are once again implicitly reversable. Of course, branching pokes are still undeclared for those moves which require it.

    Just a reminder here, we're on PICCADILLY CIRCUS

    Let's get this game going somewhere, the possibilities are endless seeing as flips are in play!

    Sorry Evil, I was buried in one of the four Luxembourg Treaties, as I felt sure that a revert to standard rules would have made the last three plays, including but not limited to, clockwise turnabouts, cross-line pushes and even the much vaunted Wednesday bridgehead, all but an impossibility.

    However, under the Luxembourg Treaty, all those moves are valid provided that Kings Cross, Holbourn and Uxbridge have yet to be curtained with play on the fourth angle showing an open blind to the pillory.

    Given that all these conditions have been met, a Central Coup has narrowly been avoided opening up the game for a conversion within two moves.

    So I'll invoke the standard ruleset with a straight play, but I'm going to add the more modern twist of 'clipping the handle', which is MC slang for a runner down the left side, warped by a packet in the middle 'stanza' whilst being played on an open board with crips and flicks shuttered, knurds and roasteds are sacked and a pass from red to green is looped according to the Ammended set as ratified by FV Foyne and Co (0207 745 8321).

    Charing Cross.

    Damn that was good.

    If I understand correctly, this puts me in a position where I cannot avoid declaring that fleckles will now be played wooden. With that on the table, I will make a swift transverse shredded glower, and then slip in a katanoid pass to Oval.

    I'm stuck on the cirlce line, but thanks to the Cryer-Taylor conjecture, I can revert to Beale's rules and play Tower Hill.

    And, that I believe, leave's Tumble "in Spoon"
