I propose an online game.

Northern approach rules apply

I'll go first. What say you to Tufnell Park?

Right. I'm taking a bold diagonal to Maida Vale.

Depends. Are you adhering to the Kensington decision?

Before you play Mornington Crescent it is assumed that because it was Tuesday yesterday you will know that the short rules only apply and from the 2nd turn in reverse order during September. Please also remember rule 7b: All Egyptian moves are disallowed except crossovers and double takes.

Please avoid all surface lines that back onto Mrs Trellis's home between 7pm and 7am on a Wednesday.

I am going to play my traditional Manifold defence by rolling out Finchley Central. Prior to 1978, this was unbeatable but I am gambling on noone here knowing the correct counter.

Heh, I could rummage up and down SW Cobbler's Lane, but why even bother when I can just rezrov every shop in Diagon Alley and load up my inventory on the cheap.

Oh yes, and I WILL be blorbing the Fabergé egg until I figure out how to get it open, just to make sure no bedraggled adventurers come along during the night and run off with it before I get up in the morning.

I couldn't figure out where to buy an oyster card so I'll just take the East Coast back to Leeds where I can pay cash.

There's a restaurant half way between Oxford Circus and Tottenham Court Road that serves breakfast anytime. Has anyone tried French toast during the Renaissance?

On my way home from Fulham Broadway (Jon Obi Mikel, he scores when he wants!) I got reminded of Nigel Short's favourite saying "there are so many refutations of the KG but the problem is Black can only play one at a time so it's actually quite playable"
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.
