In that case I'll employ the reverse-Luwenhoek (1901) variant...

But I thought that on a tuesday the reverse-was void? I haven't got my annotated rules in front of me but I'm fairly certain you can only use the straight Luwenhoek (1901) variant at this juncture! May I suggest South Wimbledon as an alternative?

Dredging my memory, I believe the 1932 Quorum did apply the Tuesday limitation to the reverse Luwenhoek (1901) variant...
In which case I'll employ the Hurst (1966) attack:

I feel suitably qualified to call you all raving amateurs and ask you all to observe a Mornington Crescent master in action.
Using the Prince of Wales rules of 1913-14 and 13th October 1927 (3.14am) I must invoke the Berko-Gleason manoevure which allows me to immediately go to KENTISH TOWN, while not passing go but still collecting 200 pounds

Ha! If you insist on outdated manoueuvres from the last century, I have no choice but to drag this game into the 21st century:
Employing the Hawking quantum-shift (2001), I'll jump to...
Waterloo

I was defeated you won the war.... Oh, sorry, got a bit carried away there. OK, if you want to play it like that, so will I. the Mandela overtaking left-turn-only (1994) dictates thet I would be perfectly justified in moving this game to...
Da-da-da....
BOND STREET.
HA! What've you got to say about that?

Is it too late to join in? If not, I place a pink token on Hounslow North, thus effectively placing Bond Street in Vorderman for the next two moves.
I twaddle to East Ham.

Welll, if you're going to be like that, I will employ reverse triangulation to enable the Rimsky-Korsakoff progression to King's Cross.

Well if we are using blue counters, as introduced in the 1932 game between Buckley and Finnigan- shortly after Finnigan had taken the world tiddlewinks title- I will employ a river 3 pronged move and take myself to Putney Bridge.

Using the Frank Pick rules of 1927 I will counter that with
Gunnersbury

Was that a 'straddle'? Frank Pick's Rules don't allow straddling, only the Belutzoff-Zhabotinskii variant.
So I shall counter with:
Arnos Grove

The Mole Posted Dec 19, 2001
You are very bold making that move. It was last used in 1998 by Madonna with using her "Virgin" rule book. With the benefit of hindsight I will slash through your attempt with
Mudchute
Any more takers?

I'll straddle Heron Quays and perform the Heseltine manoeuver (1967 variant) to Bow Church.
