    Ah, here is an obscure opportunity to use the 1938 'entente cordiale' harrods cutlery canteen side slip and find ourselves in wimbledon!
    Not around too often!

    AHAAA!! You could make that move, but with a player in Spoon, it Knips you, and makes sure your Crutches are Stretchered and Unspoons the aforementioned player (who is me ) thus allowing me to move onto Kentish Town West via a Curling Time-Splice Gambit (Clitheroe, 1976)

    Damn! I'd forgotten you could get out of that spooning if someone played the cutlery side-slip.

    seeing as my plan to sabotage other players isn't working, I'll just used the underhanded-omnibus segway over to Aldgate...

    Are we playing Old Etonian rules? If so, I think I can thrust to Earl's Court by double twisting through Knightsbridge.

    Actually we are playing the revised official rules, which are however based on the Old Etonian's, allowing your move.

    As such a reversed flintelled push, followed by a connecting slithered entry, will bring me to Great Portland Street.

    ill join in by playing a reverse of hodlington's muse to shoot up to sudbury hill

    to all the newcomers: now that play is in zone 4, you are probably sitting there thinking you can get a win in 2 moves... but remember that a flip must be played before a twist so you'd be back where you started

    anyway there is a rather good move from here that should open up some interesting possibilities so lets see if the next person spots it

    Well, according to the Phips-Hobson Didactical Converse (Hodder, 1983), its possible to play a twisted flip in one move, so in theory a win in two moves is possible. However, as encyclopedic as that reference is, I know that particular point is very contentious. So in the keeping with the spirit of this game, I'll play that flip (and its a big one) to Richmond Hill.

    Wow, I am speachless at the sheer brilliance in this corner of the Internet! Even so, it seems that in the complexity of this game, the odd simple move may help? I was wondering if, well it just seems so obvious ....
    is it just me the realises that now using the Northern Line, getting off at DRAYTON PARK - FINSBURY PARK NCL TUNNELS is the next move?

    hope I haven't made a mistake here, if I have it could take weeks to get back on track ...

    Using the 1978 Northern Extension rules and a mindfull eye on the circulating cutlery, it is my finding that the only way to avoid Dollis Hill would be by applying the Tooting crossover clause;
    Waterloo.
