Mornington Crescent - Modern Jive stylee

[David Bailey]

OK, I'm bored, so I'll start you off with:
Catapult at ISH.

which could only lead to a bounce at Fulham.

[clevedonboy]

I expect that we are playing Barker's variation that allows Leroc venues, So A Man Tunnel at Shoreham

[Stuart M]

Ha! Questioning a previous move allows me to pull the legendary Ceroc Scotland Forum Gambit.

Accordion Comb Pull Crab at Marcos.

:mad: Excuuuuse me, people! We're playing to the 1987 AngeLau rules, OK? Obviously... :rolleyes:

So please, keep to the rules in future. :flower:

With that in mind:
Seducer Dip, Balcony at Ashtons :D

Which leads, surely, to the spin dryer at Coventry

Hmmm.... sneaky.... :respect:

OK, I know it's a bit dodgy, but I'll counter with A Wurlitzer at Hipsters (Tuesdays).

[clevedonboy]

Blimey Lynn have you played this game before? That leads to an obvious In & Out in Exeter

[Lou]

That leads to an obvious In & Out in Exeter
All moves lead to Exeter. Unless you're exiting, of course. Which I do, with a Ducasi Comb at Glasgow Jumpin Jaks. (Franck Pauly rules, natch)

Going to have to get from Glasgow to Brighton. Only one way to do that...

Woodface Travelling Spin :waycool:

[Jamie]

*get's back on balance*

which leads to a Wurlitzer Turnout (with 10 spins) in Doncaster!

[David Bailey]

Nice :clap:

To which I can only reply: neckbreak at Fulham.

[CJ]

Nice :clap:

To which I can only reply: neckbreak at Fulham.

I would have to play the joker, and introduce the Vince slap at Hammersmith.

Not quite the double points of my last shot, but am surely in the lead??

[Cruella]

OK, am I the only one that has no idea what the heck you lot are on about? :confused:

[CJ]

Is this the Mornington Crescent equivalent of a pitch invasion?!?:eek:

Just tell me she's not streaking... seeing her facial hair is bad enough!!

[FirstMove]

If I delete dominated options and reverse through reversible options , I think I can -

Brazilian Mangle at Gloucester

Double Fanucci triangular reverse. Lovely.:respect:

Has to be First Move Reverse @ St. Neots.

[Lynn]

[David Bailey]

Oh goody, I was just waiting for a move like that, cos I can now go for a Columbian at Belfast! :clap:
Again, good move - there's clearly a lot of talented players here :clap:.

But using the "Wednesday reversals" move, I'll have to trump that with - straightjacket at Hammersmith. Hah!


OK, am I the only one that has no idea what the heck you lot are on about? :confused:
Sorry, but as everyone knows, rule questions are only allowed on odd-numbered posts.

[Beowulf]

Looking over the moves so far it's left me little option, I'm playing the wildcard and suggesting :-

Sitting out in Aberdeen ;)

[Lynn]

Looking over the moves so far it's left me little option, I'm playing the wildcard and suggesting :-

Sitting out in Aberdeen ;) Now I'm getting confused as to which version we are playing!

Is that a legal move?

(Still pretty pleased with my last move though, I knew I'd get to Belfast somehow! :D )

[Wobbly Dave]

Legal?? Possibly - Immoral?? likely... however if you follow the follow the standard Thurgood-Hamilton conversion algorithm, but ban semi-lateral shunts - I don't see a problem with it

Ever onwards - Half-catapult monkey-walk with leg-hold dip in Worcester

[David Bailey]

Now I'm getting confused as to which version we are playing!
It's July, therefore it should be obvious. Blimey, do I have to spend all my time explaining the rules? :rolleyes:

Exactly. I'm glad someone's keeping up.

:hushed gasp:
OK, it's a tricky one, but I'll go for.... West Manhattan, Blues Room, Berko T-Dance :D

[Lynn]

OK, it's a tricky one, but I'll go for.... West Manhattan, Blues Room, Berko T-Dance :DNice move! :worthy:

OK, taking a risk here and (given that its July :rolleyes: ), I'm applying the 5th rule sub clause (the 3rd amendment) and going for Ochos at Putney T-jive.

[Mezzosoprano]

Be gentle please... I'm new at this!

How about a Columbian (Oh Lord!!) at INVERNESS!!!!!

*Without anyone whispering "Columbian next!"

Being so far North allows me to use the Hamish-Dougal--you'llhavehadyourtea gambit and

{Here comes a BREAK!}

Pause, .......................

[boardrider]

at Knutsford

[Mezzosoprano]

OOoooooo! The crowd were hushed and breath was baited for the next move........

[Wobbly Dave]

... which would have to be the last move after my previous move hence being First Move in B'ham Glee Club

(using the finsbury variation on collateral reverse paradox, circa 1983)

Would I be premature in declaring "Mornington Crescent Busk in two."

[jiveaddicted]

throws in a honey nut loop in nottingham :-)

Risky Dave, risky..........

[Wobbly Dave]

I am well-known for "pushing the envelope" - even when stationnery

[happygoldfish]

Sometimes beginners' move are best …

Beginners' move?? I'd say positively School boy.

The game's bagged with....

A first move jump, at the busk on Mornington Crescent.:D

No arials, surely?

Good point. Under the toaster boy roast amalgam of 7-7: assuming the Lyttleton tirangular circumvent clause of 6-6b stands, I'll miss the next two rounds.

Of course it stands... it even applies! I've checked the rules!! It was in book 7!

[Wobbly Dave]

I fear we are close now... Shrewd but bold move -

Keeping my feet (and hers firmly on the ground) Flamenco in Finchley

[Stuart M]

Keeping my feet (and hers firmly on the ground) Flamenco in Finchley
Bravo, sir.

I should warn you, however: if Richard Curtis ever lurks here, he'll nab that as the title of his next "light" "comedy" starring Hugh Grant. Contact your copyright lawyer on the hotphone!

Oh, and Accordion in Dundee, just to head everyone off at the pass.

[Mezzosoprano]

Which should, I think, be followed by an ArmJive Swizzle in the Beach Ballroom......

[David Bailey]

That's just getting silly. I'm tempted to invoke Ceroc X regulations at this point.

But OK, Shoulderslide at Slinky's.

[happygoldfish]

Shoulderslide at Slinky's.

Hmm, that's at Greenwich.

So I can use the river (if the tides are right :whistle:):


A duck on the HMS President,
out on deck!

[Wobbly Dave]

That means I have right-to-right reverse priveledges under the committee ruling on alliteration access subsection 2.

EDIT: just realised that HGF has beaten me to it - so I am disqualifying myself for 3 moves

D'oh … does that mean I'm in nip, or out of nip? :confused:


I think I'm out of my depth here …

[Stuart M]

In nip but waiting for a cleft swoon*, I think.

The original Esperanto expresses it so much better, I think - "oopscheetakrika"

[SuzyQ]

In nip goldfish ...
... so that all leads me into a first move manhattan at hipsters

[Wobbly Dave]

Definately in - and as you know using the Queensbury rules (1972 Duchess of Kent additions apply), trying a Mornington Crescent from this position will leave you in 'Nip' for a further 2 turns.

Protect your rear approaches at all times.

[Mezzosoprano]

Thank goodness it was wasnt the Marquis of Queensbury rules... 'cos that would take us into another game altogether!!

[Wobbly Dave]

Calling the marquis of Queensbury rules following a 30 minute lag since the last move.

Sadly I am still stuck in Yeovilton - can I use the helicopter right hop lateral shunt?

NOpe... that would count as an aerial!!?!?:rofl:

[Wobbly Dave]

First move Mambo - Mornington Crescent busk

Yay - I win!

[David Bailey]

First move Mambo - Mornington Crescent busk

Yay - I win!
But of course that's not the winning move in the MJ version - didn't you read the rules?

So, carrying on:
Eskimo, Southport, 3.23am, Blues Room.

[Wobbly Dave]

I thought I'd get away with it when I invoked Marquis rules as above - but I was not aware of the MJ Southport amendment.

[Mezzosoprano]

triple spin.... BLAZE1 - Ayr........

A travelling return … to Cheshunt! :nice:

[happygoldfish]

Nothing for ages …

:nice: Does that mean I've won? :nice:

Or is Humph asleep? :rolleyes:

Nurse! … :really:
