In the interests of a nice open game the Circle Line is Wild, and I know we have a few novices on here so we'll keep it simple and play Hampton Court rules.
.
I'll start with Edgeware.

Shepherds bush market, Hammersmith & city line, with TWO yes TWO trips up and down the escalators at Paddington on the way.

Might be a controversial move but it's still before 1am so the Lord Wimberry 1903 amendment can be played.

If you're going to play dirty, I'm going for Quainton Road.

Get out of that and stay fashionable.

Beautiful craftmanship so far. I can see this is a traditionalist collective playing the game. Particularly liked the early showing of the Lambeth Jink. Kudos, Northwind.

Tower Hamlets, all change.

Liking your style there. Tidy, effective and yet with a certain panache.

So, I'm left with no option other than.......

Pimlico. With a slight detour to the Tate to view the works of the early vorticists, of course.

Flashy, I reject your attempted rehabilitation of the early works of Wyndham Lewis and I'll plump for Carpenders Park.
It's a bit harsh, I agree, but you need to be taught a lesson.

what bizarre concoction of rules are you lot playing? It's certainly not Rubik standard.

So with that in mind,and suspecting that this may put flashy in nib - marble arch.

Hampton Court Rules Pook, read the OP! I agree Rubik is a better game but it can get a little complicated for the beginners, like Tomhoward.
.
I have a little something up my sleeve, not going to give too much away by going to Finsbury Park.

But since we've already had three Widdershins shunts, we now find ourselves in the vanishingly rare [i]Neasden[/i] loop!

Do I have to play Neasden too? I can never understand vanishing loops; the game is purer without them.

Late to to the game again! Don't worry, I've already paid a penalty in Northolt, so surely I'm now allowed to see the museums?

British Museum (1933 exempt)
Which trumps a Holborn and I'd like to see you try an Archway. Back west with ya!

I never wear plimsolls, Chipps, they squeak too much on the platforms.

To Bank, gaining an extra token of obscurity for passing through King William Street, which I think places me onto the second board.

Isn't that in breach of the 1932 rule change, due to the particularly nasty flooding of that year?

Actually it is. Oops. It's North of the Parks. May as well be in Yorkshire.

I'll bow out quietly for a while. But, before I do...
