    Well gamers it's been awhile so lets kick off another game. The World Cup is over and we can't be without games.

    So, since there are many new members here we'll start with the beginners rules. No mimsy or gyring with limited temporal banderwagging.

    To make it festive we will all start in Grenadier Guards regalia, bearskin hats a must, with an ample supply of vaseline.

    I shall start with Denmark Hill.

    Keep the kertuffleing to a minimum please.

    Tally Ho!

    If bearskins are on and we're keeping a check on the kertuffles I'll march into Monarchical merryment with Royal Oak.

    I foresee a stopclock challenge and take a left to Bank, forcing players onto Hatton Cross, unless they are wearing their standard book-whap moleskins.

    For shame Chadderz, for shame.

    Here we are trying to play a beginners friendly game, trying to entice others into the Joy of Mornington Crescent and you had to go and mention the "stopclock challenge".

    You know of the carnage the last time that challenge was played. The wreckage, the bodies of many a dewy eyed newcomer caught in a maneuver they had no hope of completing. The horror of it all. The dark underbelly of our noble game displayed so brazenly and wantonly.

    For shame.

    I shall sally forth to Queen's Park to lay a wreath a the tomb of those poor unfortunate souls.

    *shudder* The Stopclock Challange Calamity of 97. Like many others I was caught in the hubris of the Poppleton Foreplay, occasionally almost rising from my Crescenting Chair in the excitement of the Challenge. Almost.

    We must guard against such folly and only allow such raucous and dangerous play to take place under carefully controlled conditions, between seasoned professionals, and on no account must kedgeree be present again.

    I shall lighten the mood with a quick trip to Kentish Town.

    Since Chadderz has upped the stakes in this game I am invoking the Mayan Misinformation Gambit. All signs and schedules will only be posted in Mayan hieroglyphics. Grab your translation gear and get a move on.

    I am off to Burnt Oak or to use the new gambit,

    Stopclock challenge, Kentish Town and Burnt Oak!

    All rather down market for a gentleman of my stature.

    One adjusts his cravat, dons the Oxford Brogues and takes a walk to Saville Row from Piccadilly Circus.

    I knew it wouldn't be long before one of them upper crust blokes used our fair game for a bit of strutting about.

    So then, donning my garb as chimney sweep I shall dance my way, all Mary Poppins like, to Elephant & Castle.

    Fair play ice cream, but I see through your brown paper and if you lend me an able and willing I'll be off with the rest of me china plates to a nice all time looser in Whitechapel.

    Come on dude, game breaking moves aren't fair on us country bumpkins :p.

    As a late comer I invoke the Cthulhu Imperative, polish my turtle and hitch a ride to Burnt Oak thanks to Ice Cream.

    As as someone else entirely new to this I cannot help but wonder,
    World Taekwondo Federation are you all on about!?!?

    And where are the rules?

    As has been stated we're using beginners rules, so you miss three turns while industrial action on the French side allows you access into the channel tunnel. :D

    My time is over in the rub a dub, so if I can make it back to Waitrose in time it's back to the chaps for Pimms o'clock. All meet at canary Wharf.

    Remi, I'll keep this easy for you. I am going to counter Simon's move with a simple Scottish Dragoon dismount and march. This allows me to move straight on to Tower Hill. If we had been full on I may have added the Dutch Lowwater Scuffle with a twist to bandersnipe up any counters.

    Your turn.

    Ah, the bleating distress of the Jabberwockies with the first ker-snip, ker-snip. I love this game.

    Are mome raths outgrabe in this rubber?

    You keep your mome raths to yourself, this penny-farthing has been swash-buckle jellied!

    Besides, we need to play by the Thanksgiving Turkey rules for Remi.

    So if from Tower Hill the JubJub bird were chased to Mudshute and some how found it's way through the Dogs to the foot tunnel and hence to the Gypsy Moth Father William might balance an eel on the end of his nose all the way back to Brunel's maquette of the channel tunnel?
    And leave the French out of this. Their involvement will be limited getting Interpol to enforce MHA detentions in Tennessee. And that's more work than they've done in years.

    Be glad you are a beginner because that would have had you fined and possibly banned. I don't know how to make it clearer. So Don your spangled tutu and sasche down to Angel.

    As for me I will whistle for luggage, pack my book of spells and trip the Disc to Forest Hill.
