In that case, we must invoke the Pakistan Observation.

Now that we're under the Pakistan Observation, huffing without exposition isn't allowed unless the Argyle Street Parabola is in effect, which it isn't. This is a fairly basic mistake to make. I assume you have read the rules?

As the good burghers of the forum have decreed Fairlop to be invalid I will with tufted grace reconsider my first posit and referring briefly to "Kliphoff's Friable Confluence" amend my offer to Cockfosters. Though I feel I must protest most strongly to the barring of a diligently cusped Parvenu, unobserved or otherwise. Thankyou.

I do believe that allows non-mainline stations to be opened though?

Of course, none with lifts...that'd just be silly!

Thank you. I was taught the game by Archibald Fussock himself. I really miss the old guy. That business with the kangaroo really broke his heart. It was that that killed him, you know, not the photocopier the media blamed it on. Very sad.

Now I know your game has a your Fussockian edge to it Shark I feel it would be a fitting to riposte with Brondesbury.

The Brondsbury method tends to leave the mainline cross-junctions exposed to segues, so I guess if you fill in the gaps with a little Grillberger, we might have an epic on our hands...

Mornington Crescent.

I obtained a P.C. Randal Index in a Peruvian brothel many years ago and I had forgotten I had it in the attic.
BEEF-SQUATCH!

Well won, Sir. I can't believe I didn't see that coming. A reverse lateral through Oxford Street avoiding all the pigeon traps and even taking advantage of Rule 17's tendancy to favour counterclockwise play. You even managed to finish the game in knip. Superb.

Well done. And any man who can brave a peruvian brothel and live to tell the tale deserves the odd break, if only to compensate for the emotional devastation. Fillips and kudos sir, kudos.
