<HTML>and with Liverpool Street, you may just have done enough!

Interesting to see how Carla will respond. We seem to have lost Rob, Bea and Jasper...</HTML>

I leave you with Highbury and Islington and might come back at around 9h30...</HTML>

<HTML>Well played, sir. And lady. A hard-fought match, not without it's controversy ( I mean, Euston Square, I ask you...).</HTML>

<HTML>dave thanks for the mail... and yes, my lil sister is more a brit than a portuguese now ;) for some years lol and the way I see it, forever :D
I might be getting the point, which is, there are no rules!!!!!!!!!!!!
(where did I hear this before? oh right... but it was with spoons ;))</HTML>

<HTML>That really isn't fair.

I go lecture kiddies for an hour and find it's all over.

And never a visit to Ruislip !

I'd got loads of cunning moves planned.

And Carla: Yes, you can go to Hanger Lane on a Monday.
As Dave correctly points out, it's because of starting on a diagonal.
I don't want to turn into a jobsworth but rules are rules. As Stovold
went to the effort, the least we could do is play by them...</HTML>

<HTML>well if you will drop a move like Hangar Lane then leave, what do you expect? We thought you'd placed yourself deliberately in Nidd, thereby nullifying any future moves.</HTML>

<HTML>I was explaining the difference between Stovold's and the 2nd amendment.

<HTML>Bea, (or should I call you Scarlet)

How can you suggest there are no rules ??
If that were the case then it'd just be a bunch of people shouting out
random names of tube stations.

And that would be stupid !</HTML>

<HTML>Carla, he didn't... maybe he wanted to, but he didn't do a very good job of it at first and only after I posted that thing up there did I get a new one properly explaining.
Yes, I do have friends around here :DDDDDD

:P

We can play that when you visit for xmas ;)</HTML>

<HTML>Dave:
Hanger Lane would only leave me in Nidd if we were playing by
Yorkshire Rules. I know you and I are tough enough for the
northern variant (a real man's game), but I thought we were just
using standard vanilla Stovold.</HTML>

<HTML>Note for puzzled readers;

Rob Johnson, Jon Brierley, Dave Graham and Carla Ogeia were given silly things to do, and Colin Sell set none of them to music. Scores were kept by the lovely Samantha. There, that's cleared that up, hasn't it? Oh, well, go and look at www.isihac.co.uk, if you must.

On tonight's edition I particularly liked the Eurosceptics song; "I fought Delors, and Delors won".</HTML>
