Goodness, piglet, that's a brave move, nearest station to the lawcourts and all that. We get enough lawyers (barrack room variety and all that) here on MC without tempting them by playing Chancery Lane. ![[Ultra confused]](graemlins/confused2.gif)
Quickly moving on, take the next train to Mile End.

Meadowhall Interchange, obviously. Buses, trams and trains are all running.

What is it about Sheffield that draws you there like a moth?
Why not go to Westfield at Shepherds Bush instead? There are plenty of buses, tubes and trains there too although I admit to the lack of Supertrams.

It's not uncommon, where there are a range of possible moves, to use stations you know well.
But to make you happy, Heathrow Terminal 5

Is Heathrow terminal 5 actually functional at the moment?
On the other hand Kelvinbridge most certainly is.

Hardly relevant, given sub para 3 of Section 5 of MC 2010 by a Mr Brooke-Taylor and a H Lyttleton (dec.) - not in print, of course, but I thought everyone serious bought a copy as soon as it came out anyway.
Harrow and Wealdstone - I think you know why. Red Token if you'd be so kind.

Do we really have to take notice of them? I mean, it's not as if they invented the game or anything.
St. John's Wood for Lord's, where they can doze undisturbed until - and beyond - the beginning of the next cricket season. Mind you. Mr. H.L.'s doze will last longer than that. ![[Angel]](graemlins/angel.gif)

Since their yearbook is (or was) a distillation of rulings, rather than their specific ideas about how the game should be played, it's a useful reference.

But we could go even further than that: Chesham.
I don't know if they have restaurants there, but surely they must have - it's leafy Bucks, for goodness' sake!

If we're on the hunt for good restaurants ...
Belfast York Road is reasonably handy for Nick's Warehouse, a favourite haunt when I worked at the Art College and D. worked at the Cathedral; it's just round the corner from both.

That's a bit iffy, Kingsfold. Strictly speaking, given that Essex is now in Nidd, that qualifies as a parallel block and in an international match the referee might well rule advantage to your opponent and spoon you.
We're a bit more flexible here, so perhaps rather than require the move be rerolled, or impose the spoon, perhaps I can move to Finsbury Park?

As an acquaintance of mine wrote:
I can hear the loud snoring of the girl that I love
As she lies here beside me asleep with the night
And her drool in a slow trickle soaks in my pillow
Reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight
I have nibbled her ear, nuzzled her shoulder
Spooned up behind her and fondled her tits
Yet still she is snoring, still she is drooling
Ah well no rumpy tonight then, ah shit.

That was totally unnecessary. You could have played a Finsbury Fandango, off the top of my head.
But, of course, now you've started it:

Won't work, I'm afraid. The Finsbury Fandango only applies to Saturdays when Arsenal are playing home matches.
So we're still at Dollis Hill, even though I grant that the banks of the Ver offer a more pleasing aspect than those of the Brent.
P.S.Where's that Welsh Vicar-chappie just when you need him? A disgraceful dereliction of his responsibilities, in my opinion.
