Great Portaloo Street
OT, Mornington Crescent: Round 8 :- (Tudor Court Rules)Now I'm sure most of you will be aware of the significance of my next move. But for the one or two that don't I will explain. As well as being the place that a famous dictionary was first printed it's Odean cinema was featured in the film "Carry On At Your Convenience" If I don't get double points for this I quit.

OT, Mornington Crescent: Round 8 :- (Tudor Court Rules)Risky move this, and it could be the end of the line for some people

Yes, that's going to take some thinking about.

Ealing Broadway
OT, Mornington Crescent: Round 8 :- (Tudor Court Rules)Well played sirrah.. Using The Marquess of Turberry's rules, and using Bartlett's Pass with the "Mind the Gap" amendment (The Sun is in Pisces, so that's allowed) I call at:
Hyde Park Corner > Cockfosters > Waterloo > Canada Water > Crossness > Poplar > Wembley Central > Looisham > West Kensington > East Ham > Turnham Green > White City > St John's Wood > Walthamstow Central > White Chapel > Waterloo > Sloane Square > Kings Cross > South Kensington > Pimlico> Victoria > Twyford>Paddington

Ooh that's a nasty move to get round. I think we will have to use the Watling Street Variation, which says Players may only take the direct route between any two given points. and go straight to
Paddleington

OT, Mornington Crescent: Round 8 :- (Tudor Court Rules)Well, as that last move backed everything up, I think I have to make my next move as if from Sloane Square, so we'll visit the Throne room at Buckingham Palace by going to:
Hyde Park Corner > Cockfosters > Waterloo > Canada Water > Crossness > Poplar > Wembley Central > Looisham > West Kensington > East Ham > Turnham Green > White City > St John's Wood > Walthamstow Central > White Chapel > Waterloo > Sloane Square > Kings Cross > South Kensington > Pimlico>

just a reminder
OT, Mornington Crescent: Round 8 :- (Tudor Court Rules)Oh dear, that is a drain down which I do not wish to flush. So I'm going to play the Last Stand card, and move direct to...
Hyde Park Corner > Cockfosters > Waterloo > Canada Water > Crossness > Poplar > Wembley Central > Looisham > West Kensington > East Ham > Turnham Green > White City > St John's Wood > Walthamstow Central > White Chapel
Waterloo
Now someone needs to roll a double 6 for victory...
Are repeat visits allowed under this rule set? If not you need to leave at once via the town drain down train.
Only through the Desperate Last Stand exception (sometimes known as the Hail Mary clause), as first played by Lord Flushing of Bidet.
Which I did invoke :)

Jolly hockey sticks!
Now I can invoke the burlington variation, as defined in Stovold’s. All WC postcodes count double, but cannot be followed by a consecutive WC code. Crescents are wild as rule 42 is of course suspended.Kings Cross

I refer you to the Embarassment in the pedestrian tunnel in the 2009 Lancashire league championship game.

And now:
Sloane Square

I've found that due to my age coupled with the cold weather, repeat visit become more frequent.Oh dear, that is a drain down which I do not wish to flush. So I'm going to play the Last Stand card, and move direct to...

Well it was mentioned, when it was visited before,
To make things extra easy Waterloo Mainline is irreversible if approached on the diagonal during a lateral pass.
Does that help any?

OT, Mornington Crescent: Round 8 :- (Tudor Court Rules)Using the Thomas Crapper adjunct to the Bazalgette amendment (which extends the Bog Standard rules even deeper, allowing unfettered access to those Victorian sewers included in Bazalgette's later maps) I'll play this and claim the quadruple bonus points for the fourth visit to a WC plus triple point bonus for three WCs in a row ! I think I also need a good hosing down, but the bonus points were worth it...

White Chapel
OT, Mornington Crescent: Round 8 :- (Tudor Court Rules)Well, following the same pattern as before, and as it's after midnight, I'll make an off-peak interchange move to bring us to:
