"I use the Zimbabwean Inverted Declension (1952 and bar) and arrive at Barking" Last played, I believe, during the 1979 world championships, held in Basildon, during the infamous 3 day long quarter final. Now, as then, I counter it with White City | |||

"Umpire! Surely Bullingdon 4:vii (1952) permits no further than Arsenal during weekend play" Assuming that you addressing myself as MC Chair?(as we don't have an umpire). The restriction you refer to was lifted some time ago, players are totally free to use the entire current LT rail network as displayed on the standard plan. My last port of call today:- South Kensington. | |||

"Down street (Mayfair) but the local residents are up in arms about having riff raff in the area" Invalid move!! As stated in the 1952 Bullington Club Convention Rules (As amended) - The First Amendment of 1995 reads:- "Players are totally free to use the entire current LT rail network as displayed on the standard plan". Down Street (Mayfair) has been closed since 1932, and therefore as such, is not part of the "current LT rail network as displayed on the standard plan". Such a serious disruption of the game leaves me with no option other than to abide by the rules by proclaiming:- Mornington Crescent. | |||

"Permit me to begin the next round: Balham" Thank you, well played! Perhaps an opportune moment to pay tribute to the tragic 68 souls who perished at Balham Underground Station on the night of October 14th, 1940, when a German a bomb penetrated the road outside and exploded in the underground station. May they all Rest in Eternal Peace.🌿🕊️ | |||

"Dashed bad luck old chap, have you tried mail order from Trellis & Co Ltd of North Wales? Last move from me this evening: Pimlico (Does one need a passport)" Oh begads! The entire business of Trellis & Co Ltd of Llandudno Junction, North Wales has been impounded by HMRC following an ongoing investigation by the local constabulary, I can't elaborate further atm. However, my old chum Trumpy procures his spatterguards and piccadills from a small place just off Jermyn Street called Cuthbert Maudslay & Co.and he has kindly offered to pick a pair up for me from there. Bless you Trumpy ol'boy! There's a few drams of Tomatin Malt awaiting you on the bar at The Bullington. Pimlico? Eh what, what? oh Lord no! A passport is not required, but please do give my regards to the plumbers there especially to Big Norman who was simply a whizz with my seized header-tank ball-cock in the freeze last back-end! Now, without further ado, hoping to avoid any holdups, I'll try my nocturnal luck at Sloane Square. | |||

I'd never have thought of that one, very subtle and dashed well executed! Bravo! ..Covent Garden?..Hmmmm! well blow me!! Good to hear that Big Norm is still on top form, I simply won't let anyone else other than he touch my pipes, he is indeed a most talented chap! Well, I must dash, meeting my old chum Trumpy for coffee at Russell Square. | |||

"How remiss of me, I forgot to mention the Maestro Cryer. Shall we start anew. Say from Gerrys club, Shaftsbury Avenue." Begads man! There will be no further references to those buffoonish egotists on the wireless who attempt to ape and mimic our esteemed MC game, it constitutes a serious breach of the 1952 Bullington Club Convention Rules (as amended), the penalty for such a breech is the issue of a Club Warning (herewith) any further breach will result in the issue of a Black Ball🌑 and a period of suspension. Sorry to have to mention this sensitive matter, but MC Club members are adamant that I must run a tight ship, you will doubtlessly understand my reasons and in that sentiment I thank you. Now, just where was I going? Hmmm...oh yes to The Ivy to discuss the details of The All Gas and Gaiters Society's Annual Luncheon, so via:- Leicester Square. | |||

"Tottenham Court Road Mornington Crescent" Invalid move!! Only one station is allowed to be named per turn, two moves in one effectively cancels both! In accordance with the rules, I'm bound to issue you with a Club Warning! (Herewith). May I remind all MC Club members that it is our sworn duty to make ourselves totally familiar with the 1952 Bullington Club Convention Rules (as amended). Thank you all. At such a late hour I will take a short jaunt to:- Baker Street. | |||

"Ah yes, 221B the home of the private investigators Holmes & Watson, trading as Clever Dick Inc. I make the move to Marylebone (It’s elementary my dear)" The good old Baker Street and Waterloo Railway, a nice subtle and well executed move there ol' chap! I like it! 😁 Oddly, in the days of Holmes and Watson, the highest property number in Baker Street was then 85, so although time has since produced a 221B, in Sherlock's book it's very much an unsolved mystery! Keeping to the broon line theme, I'm going to put my new spatterguards, an early seasonal offering from my dear ol' Trumpy, to the test with a quick spin to:- Paddington (remembering my Finest Dundee Marmalade Sandwiches to devour en route of course!) 😋 | |||

I gave them a test run earlier and spiffingly,dashed - tip-top is what they are! Excellent quality too! I'm thrilled with them and Trumpy's kindness too! But I have made a note for future reference about Messrs.Nickett & Floggit of Bond Street, purely by coincidence that's just where I am heading off to now for an extraordinary general meeting of the All Gas & Gaiters Society, which reminds me, can anyone advise me as to a source of supply of a pair of top quality gentleman's gaiters? Well off I toddle to Bond Street, avoiding those pesky cross headings again of course! | |||

"I travel to the Recreation Ground established by Ms Cynthia Payne frequented by MPs, Bishops, Solicitors and other upstanding members of society, now rebranded as Strumpet, Strumpet and Trollop. Nearest station is Brixton (Anyone have a Luncheon Voucher I can borrow?)" Some devilishly shrewd reasoning there, I'm sure that Trollope the younger (he had the "e" suffixed by deed-poll), was a year or two below Trumpy and I at Harrow, old man drove a rather splendid Armstrong-Siddeley Sapphire, still in the family I'm told, as I recall young Trollope was caught in a rather compromised position with a younger boy called Bunny Radcliffe who took to wearing lederhosen in the evenings, to cut a long story short Bunny's old chap was a chum of the head of house, who pulled a few strings resulting in young Trollope getting despatched to Gordonstoun to complete his schooling. Anyway, Trumpy has wangled a few tickets for a bash at the Eagle in Lambeth for us both and for two fine young pupil chaps from chambers so better dash to Vauxhall. Last I heard of Trollope the younger was that he'd made it big in rubber! PS, will despatch a luncheon voucher over early tomorrow a.m. by motorcycle courier, keep your eyes peeled for a blonde German guy called Otto on a speedy BMW P1600 Grand America, I rather fancy getting my hands on the splendid thing, the Beemer looks a challenge to handle too! 😉 Ah yes!

Give him my best regards, if you would do me the kindness. I need to call at Maison Bertau on Greek St, to pick up some pastries for the weekend, and fancy a stroll so to:- Tottenham Court Road.

"Will the damned infernal rules allow me to get to Kings Cross." Derogatory remarks regarding the 1952 Bullington Club Convention Rules (as amended) are a breach of the rules and is strictly forbidden. As such I'm deemed to issue you with an official club warning (herewith). However putting the breach to one side, to answer your question, yes a passage to King's Cross is perfectly permissable, although the use of the possessive apostrophe must be included. Must dash, it's the Annual General Meeting of the Royal Chapter of the Knights of St Quentin, meeting my dear old chum Trumpy Humpingdon- Tripp KC at:- Holborn. | |||

"An early morning missive from the Honourable Jonnycumsslowly of Daventry, who kindly concludes the round with this:- "Reply to forum post "What is it about beards that mate men so instantly attractive??" There can only be one response to that ....... Mornington Crescent !" My sincere thanks to dear old Jonny for concluding the round with his uniquely ingenious logic! There's a large Tomatin Malt awaiting you on the bar at The Bullington Jonny ol'chap.... So to reiterate chaps, Jonny moves:- "Mornington Crescent"." I move to whichever station affords best access to The Bullington.....anyone able to advise ? | |||

Alarm bells 🔔🔔are sounding very loudly here, all bona fide MC Club members would have this basic knowledge on board, since it is an integral part of the initiation and oath of alliance ritual! Do we have yet another imposter in the camp? Be wary chaps, bayonets mounted and at the ready!! | |||

"I fancy a Langue de Chat or two so I visit the Master Bakers at Maison Bertaux in Greek Street, Soho. There are a number of establishments there that say they offer the services you can get if you are a Master Baker but the services are delivered by scantily dressed ladies. It’s not just the flour that is self raising. Apparently. Therefore I travel to Leicester Square. " Excellent move Hardy old chap, nicely dovetailed, good show! Ah yes! The most excellent Maison Bertau on Greek St, simply the finest patisserie there is, the realm of maîte boulanger Valéry Lacont, a regular at The Bullington during his rest days, always furnishes us with his specialist pastries, thoroughly decent chap, his tasty French stick is second to none! A damned worrying business with having a possible imposter in the camp, I'm calling in at New Scotland Yard to have a word with Chief Superintendent Dickie Ploddingfoot, he'll get to the bottom of things for us chaps, have n'fears at all, be vigilant and at the ready with bayonets mounted!

"What are the fucking rules to this!?" We are bound by a sworn oath to strictly adhere to the 1952 Bullington Club Convention Rules (as amended). With regard to the particular lewd activity to which you refer in your question, this most certainly not permitted within MC play or on hallowed club premises! It beggars belief that the question should even be posed!! Dear Lord! Modern society!! Wretched and damned well appalling!! 🫣 Well, chaps after such a distasteful business, I'm in need of some winter air to clear my bewildered and alarmed mind.... so to:- St James's Park. | |||

"My traditional Christmas brunch later with my esteemed Chinese friend has been unexpectedly cancelled as he has had to leave the country so I’m off to a Swedish warehouse. A trip to Wembley Park" Maybe someone could take you to pizza express instead🧐 Tower Hill | |||

A trip to Wembley Park" Ah yes! West, I've heard of the Swedish Whorehouse near to Wembley Park, has an excellent reputation for something they call S&M...so so I'm told, not dreaming of visiting myself of course! Dashed smart move though! | |||

"In this variation is it permitted to venture on to the Docklands Light Railway ? Better play safe for now and go Marble Arch " If it's on the diagrammatic LT network map and it's a currently operating station, it's certainly permitted. | |||
