Please explain

It's from a naff R4 show, where well educated 'comics' (I use the term in its loosest sense) attempt to be amusing by pretending to play a game which has no rules.

However it seems to mainly be used by pretentious students to annoy the other clientele in pubs up and down the country.

ISIHAC was one of the funniest shows ever on radio, perhaps Mornington Crescent wasn't it's best regular but it was brilliant none the less

From Dollis Hill? You're having a laugh...

Gilly · 27 Sep 2007 at 22:00

Didn't want to get into a loop

Moredhel · 27 Sep 2007 at 22:41

I'm going to use Phil Simmond's 1962 double back bracing rule to do a reverse shunt onto Baker Street.

Can't do that

The Dollis Hill loop comes into effect, and by not breaking out of it, the next move once more has to be Dollis Hill!

I don't know how to play

Obviously, you can't move diagonally from a place like Dollis Hill!

BAH! CUFFLEY!

El Gringo · 27 Sep 2007 at 22:56

i'm going to take the offer of the reverse shunt and be a little bit common in using a double-back underground switch and get to Fulham Broadway. I know, i know, it's boring but it's serving me well, and it hasn't been used in at least two months.

Thorien · 27 Sep 2007 at 22:58

Good move!
But that leaves me open to double tracking horizontally behind the garages from either end to ...
ALDWYCH!

Well, thats 3 moves, so I'm out of Spoon for the moment. And I'm glad you managed to get us out of that loop.

As a way of thanks, I'll go easy on you and say Oxford Circus.

Isnt the circus rule engaged then? so.. err.. Picadilly Circus

Err.. read the OP.. "Stovolds official rules, second ammendment" you cant have that specification in the second ammendment can you?

iviv · 28 Sep 2007 at 00:23

Not the second, no. It was removed since in the first ammendment it allowed players to exploit a glitch in the circle line and avoid most of the mid-game altogether.
