Mornington Crescent!

we're on Russian Forsyth.

Nice to see Я, to see Я nice!

Huzzah, I was hoping for another game. mdcc_tester's Leicester Square jink to close that was admirable though.

Which A-Z are we using? You may be interested to know that at the Hammersmith club we play the original rules but using the 1971 A-Z as the 1952/3 Compact is hard to come by. Also, none of us had ever heard of the LS jink until very recently! Membership of the club is growing with youngsters joining all the time. We also organise social events including visits to recordings of ISIHAC.

I should clarify: Reference to the actual A-Z is of course forbidden during matches. What I meant to say was that new members are loaned a copy to bone up on and the Referee uses the 1971 edition for Dispute Resolution. However, since a Challenge to the Referee's decision leads to expulsion from the club if the Referee is proven to be correct on reference to the hardcopy, we have very few Disputes and we haven't had a Challenge for years. This, and the fact we've banned playing for money means we have a very harmonious club and avoid the problems I know some clubs have.

Not going there then if there's not chance of an argument and punch-up. Hump would be disgusted.

That's what I wanted you to think! I'm keeping quiet about what I actually did.

Up until the winter of 1983 we played for money. Unfortunately the New Year game at Malcolm Standford-Smythe's ended up in a brawl which spread into a neighbouring public house and three of our players, eight members of the public and a horse were hospitalised.

It wasn't a great way to start '84. Especially for the horse.

Just coz it's radio doesn't mean the audience can't see your hands. Same with internet; you really should turn those webcams off when you are doing that.

No indeed; that was appalling. One more and you would have had a respectable dozen. Shows a lack of metal, unfortunately all too common these days.

Right, less talk, more MC.

Cockfosters.

I'm just saying that anyone who knows me knows I never jink in WC2

That's the point of a jink though isn't it? Nobody knows your real intentions. Although I suspect it involved Green Park.

York Way

Hump. What a legend. RIP. sigh

Finchley Road.

Er, York Way closed 1932. I thought we were playing with the 71 edition?

As if mdcc is going to get away with that twice on the trot.

Royal Victoria.

Your club might play 1971, doesn't mean we have to here

So what edition are we playing? Even the 52/52 compact is hard to come by, anything earlier makes it very difficult for many of us.

a lack of metal?! or mettle..

notting hill gate

If you include the horse, we did have a dozen.

Rayners Lane.

Definitely a lack of metal.

Collier's Wood

Are you really telling me they don't go tooled up with iron bars either? I don't believe it.

Parson's Green.

Are we playing real geography?

Virtually, yes.

Excellent.

Gospel Oak.

Theydon Bois.

I'll pass on playing my bonus joker there this time too.
