I am well aware of where you fished the name Mrs Trellis.

I installed the punters into the aircraft today.

That's a very interesting move.  Assuming that we are allowed to play the Winchester Riposte variant, may I offer South Mimms as the next logical step?

Well that's quite the assumption, but let's run with it...

If I recall correctly, Winchester Riposte allows for reverse over-steps does it not? In which case, Turnham Green.

This thread seems to have taken the proverbial left turn at Albuquerque... I don't know where it's going, but I'm along for the ride.
Thanks!

I haven't the faintest idea what this is all about.  :o

Is it something to do with the Monopoly game?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

It's from the radio 4 panel game  I'M SORRY I HAVN'T A CLUE.  It's  explained (perhaps) below



Mornington Crescent?   Strong men have been reduced to gibbering  incoherence trying to explain the game......:-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mornington_Crescent_(game)

Strobez, I'm not sure that a left turn at Albuquerque is a sound strategy at this point in the game.........you could find yourself up against the buffers in Podunk, Nebraska in the next couple of moves.

I'm not sure that Winchester Reposte allows that on an even numbered turn. Did you posset first?


There are places in the Multiverse where Mornington Crescent can get serious:

As a courtesy to  Zenrat, whose thread we seem to have annexed,   do you think that we ought to declare "Mornington Crescent" at this point and let the poor chap have his thread back?.............or, as he is Antipodean, perhaps the appropriate conclusion would be "Mornington Peninsula?

Amusingly, Fred lives on the Mornington Peninsula, so that could be an appropriate end point. ;D ;)

What is that H?  The Hawkmoon reference makes me think Michael Moorcock might be involved somehow.

Anyhoo, back to the modelling.

Despite the aircraft still undergoing construction the occupants have boarded.
