Exactly.. when the going gets weird.. the weird turn professional.

I did wonder if it was a reference to the game of Mornington Crescent!
I'm aware of the game, but never listened to it enough to pickup all the long running in-jokes.
A game ?
Had no idea it was a game, I thought it was in between Euston and Camden Town and full of hipsters and metrosexuals
I think they are on the 73th series! Been running since 1972. Well worth a listen.
And just for Markybeau, saying "cockfosters" for my next move. Get out of that one!

The rules are somewhat complicated, i do have a book somewhere, but just the preamble covering strategy is 93 pages long. You need at least 4 players ( unless its queensbury rules where 5 is the minimum and oddly maximum).
Players take it turns to choose stations and try to negotiate they way around a "circuit" of london in a pattern set by the last move by the 1st player.
To counter the "Trafalgar paradox" each adjacent station must be seen as either an unsuitable move or a direct "backsplice" to the opening gambit.
Im sure Markybeau has more to add, but thats the basic outline...the games internal rules are a little more complex to grasp, but well worth persevering.
I believe they run weekend residential workshop courses if your really keen.
Look at it as "Bridge" for the intellectually challenged

Oh no no no. A novice mistake and i can see how you got to that, but realistically the only solid opener after that is Finchley park. Its also the required " even" move, necessary for a " two-er" (which is the role you have selected for obvious resons).
