Someone buy this sodding train ticket to Leeds...£20

[sunburywhite]

...has anyone got a ticket to Mornington Crescent..?

ok I will start - we'll be using the full board and second edition revises rules (I can't be doing with blocking on lateral pathways, makes everything too hard).

Everyone participating has to explain where they've gone from, where they're going to and the reasoning behind their move (there might be people playing who are unfamiliar with the rules so giving them an insight into strategies more experienced players use is only fair).

Right, my start position. I'm going to pick Tottenham court road - whilst it's arguably one of the most exposed positions on the board I think that gives it a lot of strength too as your range is consequently larger.

Anyone else going to play? :)

...I've been in Nidd since the last time this was played on here, apparently all I had to do to get out of Nidd was to throw a seven with the one die, which in all these years has worn down into a ball trying. Can I use the "Mullery Is God" protocol to start, I accept this will take me back to Wimbledon..?

[Holders]

Only if you've previously declared "E for B and Stevie Earle" whilst on the District Line.

I'll throw out a modified McGath Defense opening with Swiss Cottage.

That won't help you, it's as full of holes as Swiss Cheese

Last night I played Roulette with a Russian.

Who won? 

[Holders]

I can't remember, as suddenly all I heard was a loud bang and it all went dark.

Oh, the light bulb blew.

[Logicalman]

Ah, Russian by Candlelight, very romantic. Be careful of the grassy knoll when you go to see Reggie though!

[Ichabod Magoo]

Don't be Russian to catch the train.  You don't want to cause an accident.

Is that the dawning of the age of Aquarius?

[rogerpbackinMidEastUS]

 Is this the same ticket or for next season  ?

[Holders]

Is that the dawning of the age of Aquarius?

No, that's when the Sun is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars.

[TheDaddy]

Do you mean is the ticket to watch Aquarius the Stage Musical next season.

Its been watered down .

[Holders]

Is that the dawning of the age of Aquarius?

No, that's when the Sun is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars.

Yes but what is the connection between the Sun Newspaper and a Mars Bar, with The Planet Jupiter. ?

A coupon for free confectionery on Tuesday.

I went to Surbiton Grammar which was in Thames Ditton so quite often got the train from Esher

[Ichabod Magoo]

But if the headmaster keeps you after school for punishment, you'll miss the train and have to hitchhike and a lorry will offer a lift and you could eventually find yourself in Wales no longer in possession of the annual travel card which the lorry driver pilfered from your pocket.
