I'm sorry, but I can only play Street Level at the moment, partly for reasons of conscience and partly because I've lost the key which would enable me to unchain myself. Given J Edgar Hoover's notorious attempts to purge the Game of perceived communist associations during the 1950s, the fact that your faux American accent is slightly more convincing than the Prime Minister's attempt at an Australian one does not make it in any better taste.
Euston Square. And may that be a lesson to you.

Don't think I haven't noticed that you're playing unplugged. This of course would get you into serious trouble under the US secured version of the London 2012 rules, for which there is a strict dress code (glowing orange vests or grey suits with mirror shades) and where all non-sniper personnel are required to be available for plugging at all times. Fortunately, with Street Level rules it merely decouples your Central Line flankage and puts you in peril of boxing at Limehouse. Hence:
Bond Street.

While you make up your mind whether you are playing London 2012 - US secured (#95 and #99) or Street Level (#97), I'm going freestyle under which flankage isn't an issue so long as the ramps are up.

In the immortal words of Tim Brooke-Taylor when faced with a combined double shunt with nip in two to four and a speed-hump from Barry Cryer in the offing: "Eh?"
I am playing Street Level rules. I have been playing Street Level rules all along, and I shall continue playing Street Level rules until the game ends or somebody comes to drag one or both of us away. Hence, undoubtedly:
Neasden.

The run-up to Christmas is precisely what makes it good for blocking, especially if your present manoeuvre misfires as tragically as I anticipate.

I'm flirting with Canada Water, but I suspect you mean to straddle at Arnos Grove, which could make for unfortunate results.

Forty-seven hours and twenty-one minutes to force you back from a rampant Mudchute to Edgware Road. Anyway, since when was speed a requisite feature of the Game? It's based on the London tube system, after all.
Holborn.
Which codifies the outer muckles and brings the northeastern quadrant squarely into my forceps manoeuvre even if your next move isn't Osterley, which can hardly be expected from someone with your limitations.

The only limitation I have is to be saddled with an opponent who - IF he actually adhered to Street Level rules, would now be out of time as per the universally accepted Kiley's Overhaul of 2005.

Your modesty does you credit, but (the indubitable dubiousness of Kiley's overhaul notwithstanding) that is by no means your only limitation.

Leytonstone is an unrenovated part of the network. Under Street Level rules this queers your transverse laterals and catapults you straight to Oakwood.

On the other hand, it opens up my points for suburban clenching and renders you liable to be boxed up to Finchley Central, unless your intersections are a good deal cleaner than the last time I looked.

Have you even read Street Level rules??? Mayhew's 93rd amendment explicitly states that when a player mixes up his interstitials then his last move is reversed, which clears the way for me to play Mornington Crescent

Gracious in victory as in defeat, I see. Understandable enough, I suppose, since you must be so much more used to defeat.
