I suppose Queenstown Road Battersea then, although I'm not sure if you'll allow that. Is it unsporting to block the next person off from the entire Inner circle?

It would be foolish to fall into the trap I suspect you've set for me here.

Instead, I shall reverse the polarity: CHESHAM

Would I be allowed to double back to Feltham again? I'm only playing this in order to strengthen my position should the Dollis Hill loop come into play, perish the thought. I know that some of you purists out there might seethe a little at my unrefined move here, but I think that things will start to heat up in about seven moves from now...

Oh, you fool!

By advocating possible use of a certain loop, there is only one course of action from here:

Ha! I've been waiting months for this situation to come up in open play, because I thought up the most excellent counterpoint gambit for it. Here goes...

What you wanted to do was:

Yes, apparently the line is closed between Stanmore and Neasden, and Willesden Green and Stratford in both directions until September 2007.

You could run down the other side to RODING VALLEY

No, just kidding. Of course it's, DOLLIS HILL
