With all technical difficulties restored Tottenham Court Road seems the obvious move, not far now....

Due to the discovery of chapati flour on the line, this service has been cancelled. London Transport apologises for the inconvenience this may cause, i.e. me nipping in ahead of you to reach Cannon Street, leaving open the classic Karamazov gambit which will seal the game for me in 2 moves. Eat my dust, Sapsford.

Luckily, due to a Dr. Who convention I can just reverse the neutron flow and arrive safely, with time to spare, at St. Paul's...MC also in 2 Nicol...try to stop me now! Mwah ha ha!

“Mornington Crescent closed due to school-leavers on the line. Go directly to Knid, do not pass Go, do not collect £200.”

Arse!

It can't be chapati 4 as the chapati's are numbered sequentially. The chapati you must have seen chappati 8 or higher. Poinying out this gives me control of the skiffle board on which I roll an 9 so traffic warden cards are in situe ONLY. Ergo I'm at South Kensington.

Seeing as everyone but you seems to have passed on their turns this round, Chompkinson’s Turnabout states that I’m no longer in Knid after all. I’m going to invoke the Hyde Park Miscarriage and set myself upon the Central Line at Bond Street.

I'm caught exposing my parts in Covent Garden as a result of a poorly placed fajita vendor. I am arrested and charged with contravention of the Flapjack and Firkin act 1956 (as amended by the assorted Burrito regs) and am faced with a £100 fine or a day in knid with bread and water.

You'll never take me alive, filthy copper.

A broken down train forces all passengers to get out and walk. Thankfully, a friendly local invites me for a pint in a pub down the road, where I while away the snowy afternoon, before eventually staggering into Bond Street, not realising I'm going in the opposite direction from MC.

Well, as the 1981 MCPCE showed, alcohol and MC do not mix...

Northwards to Angel...MC in one!

You should have taken a hint from that tragic affair in ’81 yourself. Just as it was then, Angel is closed to northbound trains! It always is for three rounds after a player invokes the Hyde Park Miscarriage.

I’m back at Camden Town.

Damm! Forgotten all about that...currently stuck at Down Street Station, hopefully I'll return to London Above soon...

Due to a misplaced blue chip and a role of 4, I'm back at heathrow 4. Gutted

Didn't you know? It's currently being built on the Jubilee line, to service the new role playing society centre.

However, your unfortunate roll gives me an extra d8 moves, which I'll use to avoid traffic at Heathrow and finish up at Westminster. A five of diamonds will now win me the game, if I use Stephen Stephenson's "Steve" law, (aka the Steve-Steve manoeuvre)

following the leaves on the line, coupled with rain, play was terminated for some period. This has allowed me to accrue enough points to forfeit the losers gambit. I'm heading on a double four for elephant and castle! Eat that suckers and remember horseshoing is now allowed on a seven or more.
