NB: the GE 1899 rules exclude any further loop manoeuvres today, this being a Wednesday after a public holiday and in a Jubilee Year.

Do the GE 1899 rules apply outside the old GER lines?
It doesn't matter now anyway, and it's difficult to get to M.C. as it's at the top of a freaking loop, especially from Morden.

No no no no no AA! ![[Waterworks]](graemlins/bawling.gif)
However, as I've got some pink chips (where on earth did they come from?) I can execute a south-westerly reverse flick to
Hammersmith
which might just prevent a de-railment.

Well done Wodders, I'm pleased people didn't butcher that chance. Piglet's move was like a dummy run in midfield leaving Trisagion to defend like, well, like props stranded in midfield do.

Sorry to be PITA guys, but you can only go to Ongar from Royal Oak if the temperature in London is above 75F or if a close relative of the monarch is in hospital (Trumpington-Smythe protocol, 1933).

That is as close to sharp practice as I've seen in this game: within the letter but hardly the spirit. As for the remark about props in midfield, I resemble that remark!
Now back to the game, from your Turnham Green we go to Golders Green.

However as Scotland recently stuffed Australia ![[Yipee]](graemlins/spin.gif) Edinburgh Waverley is perfectly acceptable.

I've wondered whether to react to this. I've never seen the point of not playing to win, yet already twice I've refrained from using the rules to press a victory - and for good reason: when I do, I find I'm upsetting the applecart.
If the spirit of your version is not the red-in-tooth-and-claw spirit of ISIHAC, please advise and I'll leave you to your aimless Christmas afternoon activities.
But while I'm here, in honour of the Boks' victory yesterday, I'll take us all the way to:
Moses Mabhida Stadium (for King's Park, otherwise known as the Shark Tamk)

I'm not sure I want to think too hard about yesterday's rugby....what with the result from Brisbane still stinging an' all. So I'll bring us back to the summer game with Five Ways for the 3rd Test.

There's nothing wrong with playing to win but it does remind other players of Barry Cryer, aka The Constant Imbiber, and nobody wants that tag.

Meanwhile, back to the game: Elephant & Castle
