• Parky: Tooting Bec Tootologically speaking.
• PaulWay: Foxed, but not outfoxed, I shall reverse sally to Oxford Circus. Victoria is now tinged slightly green.
• Zinnwald: I hope you asked Sally nicely before you did so! White City fading to ...
• Software: Green Park changing lines but escalators out of order.
• JLE: Upney, by quadratic strile.
• Kretschmar: You can always rely on [JLE] to make a complex situation worse! As intended, that quadratic strile will bring imaginary solutions back into play. Goodge Street should maintain reality
• JLE: And you're afraid of imagination, Kretschmar? Get thee back to CAMREC, thou cream-faced loon!
• Parky: "cream faced loon". I must remember that one.. Oxford Circus bumping [PaulWay] back to that slightly tinged (now slightly singed) Victoria.
• Tuj: Bow Road, completing the square.
• Zinnwald: Marylebone - naturally
• Software: Euston simply.
• JLE: Euston Square, glaring.
• Tuj: Euston, glaring back.
• Kretschmar: Angel, glaring forwards
• Tolken: Oh. Phooey!
• Parky: And with that all I can play is Chinatown. As in Hong Kong. As in Hong Kong Phooey “number one super guy”. Oh never mind. I'll get me coat.
• Tuj: [Parka] I was thinking the same thing!
  Meanwhile: Essex Road, 2 white podumes thereon also.
• Zinnwald: Turning Oval - and regretting that I have no black podumes
• JLE: [Zinnwald] And just how do you expect anyone to square the circle from there? The best they'll be able to get is oblong. Surrey Quays
• Tolken : Forward Pass.
• Parky: I've got this horrible feeling that the LV has dropped to a dangerously low level. Anyone else detecting it? What can we do?
• Kretschmar: Run for the hills! Mill Hill Broadway in my case
• PaulWay: Stoking the boilers with Tooting Bec - Toot Toot!
• Puckoon: Pimlico because...
• JLE: West Kensington despite...
• Parky: Hmm. LV is low but not as catastrophic as I thought. Balham therefore I am...
• PaulWay: I blame JLE. Pimlico
• Zinnwald: Yes - it's all JLE's fault. Stockwell :(
• JLE: Okay, where are you going to put this scapegoat? Chalk Farm if I'm any judge...
• Blob: [JLE] That's just made it worse ! Bank
• PaulWay: I should make it clear that I didn't blame JLE for the falling LV, I just blame him generally. You know. New Cross Gate, allowing B-class straddles on all east-west lines.
• Zinnwald: [PW] Quite - and I hope you are not limiting the blame merely to this game either... Hammersmith taking advantage of straddling options
• JLE: [PW] I know. I know. Ah well, the one good thing about this is nobody can call me paranoid. Bearing that in mind, Moor Park
• Parky: In the words of the old Secret Affair track, it is Time For Action.
• Parky : In the words of the old Secret Affair track, it is Time For Acton
• Kretschmar: All Acton Stations?
• PaulWay: I think that counts as a B-class straddle, but it does set up some unfortunate resonances in the Stratford area. Avoiding that with Wembley Central.
• Zinnwald: Kellner Counter! Swiss Cottage
• Parky: Out of turn, but I couldn't resist a sub-round of Dwellings, Mansion House
• JLE: Barons Court, in that case.
