We're in a lunar Waxing Gibous phase as we head towards a Full Moon on Monday 13th, so the time seems most opportune for another round of the time honoured, yet unfathomable game globally known as:-

"Mornington Crescent".

The 1952 Bullington Club Convention Rules (as amended) apply.

All aboard folks as we raise the green flag, blow our whistles to set the wheels rolling once again at:-

Mornington Crescent.

With much wonder and trepidation where, oh where are we heading?

That stirred a few memories of youth Homooso! Those carefree, halcyon student days of the mid-70's😍 Well executed, admirable dovetailing!

I move :- King's Cross St. Pancras:-

Which inherently resonates with MC's vibrational frequency caused by:-

1. The numeric synchronicity of its platforms (12+9=21).

2. The celestial alignment of the station's architecture.

3. The obscure 19th-century pamphlet "The St. Pancras Paradox," hinting at mystical connections.

Following on from these mystical and mysterious alignments and invoking the deeply flawed and risky move of the “dioflop pretemce”, I know, I know, I shouldn’t make this move so early and especially as a rookie flinger…

But the game is sharp today and i need to push onwards… proclaiming “Angel” as the only subflagger available to me..

That's quite a move to King's Cross St. Pancras, agree with the numeric synchronicity, and celestial alignment. However when it comes to "The St. Pancras Paradox" I think that you are pushing it a bit.

Maida Vale "

Thanks Homooso, I had heard of the perils of the Cricklewood void and was kitted up with the necessary equipment in compliance with H&S guidelines. It was marvelous to see the century old Brookhirst Switchgear that is amazingly still in use in the abandoned void that still has aid-raid warning signs on its walls from from the dark and dismal days of the 1940's.

A subtle manoeuvre there to Maida Vale using a Mackenzie, I must brush up on my skills in that direction too.

Ah yes, Black Rod. Traditionally a gentleman who summons the Commons to the Lords. For the first time in 650 years Black Rod is a woman. Perhaps she should be called Black Sarah; she used to organise Wimbledon Tennis so should know all about balls. Anyway, she clearly doesn’t have a black, or any sort of rod, about her person so I guess she uses the previous Black Rod’s rod. A bit painful when used to hit the door of the Commons.

Part of Black Rod’s ceremonial attire are silk stockings although it’s not clear if they are hold ups or suspended.

Hoping to catch a glimpse of the above hosiery I travel to Embankment for the short walk to the Mother of Parliaments.

I might bump into Silver Stick in Waiting there; but that’s another story.

The famous picture of the Fallen Adonis with the large pendulation by Van Klomph is certainly worth seeing, although both Grumpy and I were disappointed with the much discussed pendulation which seemed to have a peculiar bluish hue, on being questioned on the point, the curator reasoned that it was caused by the winter temperatures! 🥶

Quality play there chaps, my understanding is that the Lady Usher of the Black Rod is supplied with traditional garters to hold the silk stockings in situ following the age old tradition of the Gentlemen Ushers.

I can confirm that the hosiery was all in order and also that she had for the occasion procured a most magnificent rod in ebony from a gentlemens emporium in Solo. It even came with two magnificent orbs on the base which served to provide a good grip while several of the gents present attempted to gauge its size by insertion.

His teaching could not with justice be styled docetic or Apollinarian, but its mystic tone was so pronounced that it proved a propaedeutic for monophysitism.

I shall visit the British Library tomorrow to look up many of the above words I don’t know let alone pronounce.

Well played there Hardy Old Chum.

I think the description of your Greek Civilisation Master, in simple terms, could be summarised thus:-

"His teaching focused on Jesus' spiritual aspects, which later influenced others to believe Jesus was solely divine."

I trust this will be of help in unraveling the mystery.

After Trumpy's trumpet troubles at King's X led to a tangled web of strumpets, harlots, whores, fannymongers and gigolos, we took a hefty draught of Trumpy's Speyside Malt to calm our frayed nerves which has now true and welley kicked in, and we're both feeling rather...erotically poetic so we've decided to take a nocturnal stroll along the Thames, and the misty riverside air has inspired us to compose an epic ballad about our trumpet-filled escapades.

Sir y Fflint - Gogledd Cymru

In reading through these mind-blowing,stunning MC moves, it reminds me of time President Nixon asked Mao Zedong when he last had an election to which Mao replied "ah! 'twas just before bleckfast" 😁...Errr.... Moving swiftly on:-

My attention has been drawn to the situation that the hypotenuse of the isosceles triangle formed by the lines connecting Green Park to Covent Garden is precisely 47.32% longer than the sum of its adjacent sides, thus creating a geometric paradox, which will be resolved by a lateral synchronisation on my arrival at the latter bearing the sealed secret formula. So to:-

Covent Garden. (Paying homage to Pythagora - Requiescat In Pace).

"Brilliant Move. And no escalators"

My sincere thanks, although in accordance with the 1952 Bullington Club Convention Rules (as amended), it is my duty to invalidate a non-move and reluctantly declare:-

Mornington Crescent.

Harsh, but fair dearest chairman. Permit me to commence play with another classic opening move. This time from the 2002 Bullington Golden Jubilee festival:

I counter that move with the Archbishop’s Ascendant Perk and a touch of the Chancellor’s Black Hole,

Chipper chaps...totally chipper!! Bravo! Bravo! and indeed!...thrice Bravo! 👏👏👏

Now chaps, I'm not sure that I can match such outstanding play, but I humbly propose taking the tube from Arsenal Station to King's Cross St. Pancras, but only after purchasing a packet of artisanal, gluten-free, vegan-friendly biscuits from the quirky bakery on Gillespie Road. The biscuits, infused with the essence of Tottenham's finest botanicals, grant the consumer temporary expertise in navigating London's labyrinthine tube system.

Upon arriving at King's Cross, I shall take the Northern line to Camden Town, but be sure to alight at the correct entrance, which is only accessible by solving a cryptic puzzle etched into the station's wall. The solution, known only to a select few, reveals a hidden passage leading directly to:-

Mornington Crescent.

Voilà! Game to me, rather devilish of your old Chairman eh what? 😀

Once again, in accordance with the rules, I'm having to implement the "Inactivity Rule" and reluctantly declare:-

Mornington Crescent!

Over to my honourable friends the MC regulars to instigate a new round.
