Whoah... steady on... 'straight for Green Park' you say? I'm up for most things, but is this some strange 'Real Geography' variation?

I would feel much more comfortable with a gentle 'Acton Town' setting up the almost inevitable...

You're ignoring the absence of hail in those parts and given it is a Monday, I therefore feel a move to Green Park is not inappropriate, however if you want a more aggressive game I will be apparating to Sloan Square

Woah! I call foul on the Howlett's Transitory Reverse Shunt ruling of 1981. You can't slam in reverse on an even day of the month like that.

Keep up... the entire Howlett's ruling of 1981 was suspended in 2012 for the Olympics, and never reinstated as far as I know. And MC is much the better for it.

STRATFORD.

You must have missed the IMCC ruling recently this year (January 2017) which effectively re-instated Howlett's ruling of '81. The legal campaign was incredibly brutual.

Moorgate.

This is a risky move, but I'm going for it - Colindale.

Excellent. A sideways slide into Borough is in order.

I know it's going to be controversial, but I'm going for a 'Robin Hood'.... SOUTHWARK.

I usually play a tactical game, but given the current opposition HOOFING it to the big man up front seems to be my best bet. So:

COVENT GARDEN

No nonsense.

What about Docklands Light Railway stations - In which case "Mudchute" which sounds idyllic.

Can we expect a ruling as to whether "Crossrail" will qualify for inclusion once it opens?

DLR variants can be entertaining... but Tramming is completely beyond the pale.

It was indeed a schoolboy error

Can I recover the situation with a Kings Cross St Pancas reverse?

I reckon this calls for an inverse loop (as we're in an odd-numbered month) which, by my reckoning, lands us at COCKFOSTERS.

Nice try, but in a prime numbered year you leave the door open for a figure-of-eight. That leaves us hurtling towards EAST FINCHLEY
