Quick - are we playing according to the 2006 Maentwrog amendments?

It does rather make a difference. Whilst awaiting a consensus, as a holding play, I'll go for Kennington Oval

You know you didn't have to do that. So many possibilities.

You do know that last year young Les Tersquair did that on telly during the MC Sub-Olympics?

And you do know that the authorities were, shall we say, somewhat casual about finding out who was responsible for him finding himself wearing just a collar, jockstrap and tie, sitting astride one of the lions at the base of Nelson's Column with a whip in one hand, held on by the sort of restraint generally only available via discreet mail order from the back pages of low-class jazz mags?

Just saying.

And so you should.

Oh, and by the way, that now means that District stations in Zone 3 are effectively wild.

One has to assume that the peak services are evenly split across North and South's hands and can be ruffed, of course.

P.S. To Piglet: Ipswich is fine. Or it was when I looked this afternoon. The match got mentioned in church yesterday (well, the theme was "Joyful Tidings"). And I had a visit today from an old Canadian friend (from Edmonton).

[Killing me] Joyful tidings indeed, BT.

As we're heading into pantomime season, I can feel a spot of rhyming coming on. Now, what, I hear you ask, rhymes with "Brill"?

NO! NO! RESIST!

There's only one possible response to that. Theoretically it's possible to go to Kings Cross St Pancras in situations like this, but a minor tradition has grown up of not making that play, in blessed memory of the late Rich Mond. One cannot use this strategy now without being assailed by images of baked beans, slow moving street cleaning lorries and sanitary towel dispensers. It would have been funny had it not been so tragic.

So, lifting a glass to the late Mr Mond, I'll satisfy myself with a quick trip to Chancery Lane.
