Bowls a long over-arm between leg googly, with a subtle spin...

Chatham House Rules anyone?
Or does that go without saying?

Well, yes, but you have to take into account that Marc is playing form Australia, so the Mahtahc House Rules are equally in effect, so large parts of Wyoming are excluded.

Well, normally yes, but the LEC convocation has been invoked, in the presence of the NOIC and a player has passed (out). Unless, of course, we have closure at Elephant and Castle (did I miss that move?).

I don't know about the table, but given how pleased the Queen is, I suspect that the consort's dice are weighted, as well as shaved. Which might explain the odds you have been experiencing.

The mental damage of daffy felt green is sufficent to mean that I think you and I need to break out of here.
<RWood, -- don't let them know, but I have a plan. As cunning as a fox just appointed as Professor of cunning at both Oxford and Cambridge. Now, I know this game is key, and as soon as I work out what the rest of it is, I'll let you know and we can get out of here.>
But just let me finish this game. I've nearly got the other players exactly where they want me to be.

However, since bringing up the unnameable subsection of the unmentionable rules, I can definitively state that the Appendix A of Att 1.0 of the Rules of the Menz Room allow me to play Winnebago Street and West Avenue.

Hmm. That means London Zoo is impassable. Which means that antipodes are hyperbolic. Hmmm. With the cross-lateral wicket under threat, East Ham shielded, and the play tending Barking, the only defensive play left is ...
Canary Wharf

And I invoke no-passing on the Bakerloo line as Angel preceded Ham in closed play.

That invalidates Canary Wharf. Doesn't it.

Panadaborg and Mindy are black scarfs. I didn't expect that. And me only a yellow sock.

Well, I think in the case of Chatham House, I have to pass. again. Unless someone can double and reverse on the Picadilly Line.

<Psst. RWood. I need some help here, if we are to make it out....>

Mindy · 08-01-2008, 05:41 PM

I reserve Covent Garden and Piccadilly Circus (I patronise the arts dontcha know), straight to Go and collect £100, tankoo verra moosh.

RWood · 08-01-2008, 05:50 PM

Just bang the drum slowly and make them think it is a funeral drudge. They should part before you as you wave the incense burner from side to side as Mindy dances a two-step. Zelda can keep them distracted either through portions of strong drink or tricks performed while using her jet-pack. If all else fails (as it most often will), catch the circle line to Waterloo and escape through the air shaft in the loo when you change trains. We will meet you in the park near the Peter Pan stature although that is on the north side of the river. It is hard to get there from here as the London and Washington "undergrounds" or "metros" are not directly linked. I still have an old hand puppet of Bunny Rabbit from the 1950s Kaptain Kangaroo TV show on CBS that should throw off Marc for a few hours. Chocolate Ex-Lax Brownies will take care of the laddy by the door -- no you can't eat one now, you'll never get up the air shaft if you do.

Um ..... Maida Vale. And also right hand on blue. (Whoops, watch my sword there. Don't accidentally impale yourself on it.)

So that's why GeoffC took the opportunity to twist. And why RickyMaveety started smiling. And possibly where her Royal Zeeness got to.

Hmm. The arts are now in play and the ham is still shielded. There was no reverse on the Picadilly line, so I'll use the Siberian front defense.

Balham.

<Psst. RWood. Sorry about the chocolate. I think I can hold on with just the one. I don't fancy the idea of ZP doing low-level acrobatics in her newly acquired boots. Especially if she's had some of your chocolates. I think I'll make bid for Waterloo. You lead and I'll follow. Now, we just need to wait for Samatha to score ....>

RWood · 08-01-2008, 06:28 PM

Better still to follow badgooddeb, she always knows a way.

RickyMaveety · 08-01-2008, 06:39 PM

(The duckbilled armadillopuss ducks into the entrance to the Circle Line and disappears amidst the crowd ... which is quite a feat for a duckbilled armadillopuss.)

Wait --- you mean duckbilled armadillopusses have FEET as well as duck bills? Are they webbed, furred, or feathered?

UncleDuke · 08-01-2008, 08:42 PM

no one gets out alive
that's what james douglas morrison said

zelda_pinwheel · 08-02-2008, 09:21 AM

since the last post was at 02:42 i am invoking the "Circle Line 11 hour rule" and since today is also saturday i can therefore play Paddington, unless the moon is void of course, in which case i call belote and play Blackfriars as trump.

edit : oooh !! i posted at exactly 3:21 !!! that's a triple score bonus for me !!!

GeoffC · 08-02-2008, 09:31 AM

Wait, what game is this we're playing again?
Are there any rules...
