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.

If there's heavy snow forecast, then Aviemore's probably as good a place to be as any.

In that case, Ptarmigan Top Station.
I agree about the perils of snow at Abbots Ripton (posted upthread), although I do think that our signalling and brakes have improved somewhat since 1876.

Guys, just a warning that we'll be closing the thread for a break fairly soon. We wouldn't want the electronic scoreboard that KLB so kindly brought along to run out of batteries now, would we. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
I'm not going to give the game away, but I'm pretty sure one of you has an open reverse shunt into MC if you play it right.

You mean we haven't got either the lovely Samantha or the equally lovely Sven scoring?
Well, that's blown my daydream then.
Anyhow, I think Highgate suits nicely.

Samantha and Sven are both involved, fret not. The electronic display board was set up by Sven, but it is a little temperamental; Sven doesn't seem to quite have the knack, which does make him quite cross, but he soon brightens up when Samantha appears to twiddle his knob whenever it goes down.

Bad move, Chorister. No way out of those sidings, thanks to the weather.
All routes to Mornington Crescent are blocked due to the wrong kind of snow. Please feel free to panic.
