Well, speaking as I was, on the subject of Cordwanglers, for sixty seconds withiout repetition, hesitation, deviation or(in my case) eeeeeeelongaaaaaytion, I appear to have entered entirely the wrong recording studio. I DO apologise for the interruption, but I would like to out that I've come all the way from Great Portland Street mate!

Excellent move if it hadn't been for the fact that due to weekend works on the Underground, one cannot get from Swiss Cottage direct to Mornington Crescent.

Listeners may hae noticed that the panel have been a bit on the quiet side. This was due to a large bluebottle which has been buzzing around the auditorium. This has now been duly dispatched by Samantha who informs us that she has been responsible for the undoing of a large number of flies.

The reason why High Barnet is that the only alternative would have been Colindale which would have led to the immediate response of Stonebridge Park and we all know what happens after that, don't we.,,

Cockfosters??? then ..... of course Royal Oak

Royal Oak's a bit severe for a Sunday morning.

I can only respond with Lancaster Gate - an elegant play by Kronsteen from the World Championships of 1983.

Sven just sent me a message by carrier pigeon saying he would be absent for a day or three because he's refurbishing his new boy scout hut,situated in Soho Square.

He's put the word out that he's hoping to receieve as many new members as he can accomodate,and says he's wide open to all comers.

Who am I to question his wisdom!

Back to Swiss Cottage? Guitaress already attempted to finish the game a few posts ago with a play of Mornington Crescent from Swiss Cottage. However the weekend works on the line still stand so you cannot have got back to Swiss Cottage unless you arrived there by one of the works trains.

David are you a tube worker infiltrating the game?

I have just come from a stonking good weekend at Knockholt.... so I offer

I still maintain that third quadrant was not allowed when in nip - but never let it be said I am a curmudgeon.

July's game should be played totally in nip - that will stop any arguments.
