Thanks Imran, a quick shuffle to Pudding Mill Lane nets me 4 of those, by virtue of the 1888 amendment regarding nisbet stealing on the Dockland's Light!

Just out of spite, I'll play Cannon Street, which gains me no advantage, but is very annoying for everyone.

Oh the delightful Arnos Grove. I've got off once there you know

But in a similar vein, I will play Cockfosters. I've seen that Northern Line convergance strategy hundreds of times before. Potent if successful, but somewhat transparent.

Come on people, what kind of bloody game is this? All you seem to be doing is f**king nisbet counting and forgetting the aim of the game dammit. If I'd wanted this level of play, I'd go to the junior league

Well anyway, I'll enlighten you philistines with the dazzling move that is Finsbury Park

I feel a MC coming on soon

To be the best you have to pick up tips from everywhere. Now for a move from the 1789 French finals, which caused riots all over the streets of Paris, and led to the Revolution.

Pah! MC has come on along way since the 18th century. For example, the London Underground being built

Anyway, for my retort, I feel that Westminster is in order.

Provost, I thought that you, if anyone, should know MC was a popular game even before the Underground! I remember reading about Jesus playing it with his Apostles. Of course, he was always accused of cheating because he won all the time.

Anyway, enough for the history lesson.

Look up Jon, Finsbury Park has been taken by me, somewhat pissing on your little bonfire, and envoking an 8 nisbet penalty.

I, however, will take Goodge Street

How are you playing this game without knowing what a nisbet is? Are you somehow bluffing your way through this game? Although with the way you are playing tonight, you may as well!

Well, thankyou gentlemen for a wonderful game but you were powerless in the latter stages at stopping me. Thus I play:

Suffering from ads?

You can't declare Mornington Crescent without at least 14 of them, and they also prevent your opponents from defructifying your teflips - very useful if you can get them.
