I'm at an awful disadvantage due to all the spoon contortions, and did I read that EVERY station was now in contempt? I'm well off the pace, but the revival starts here.

Pushing the boundaries there, aren't we?

Hm! That allows me to overlay both Westminster and Warminster by playing the Minster shuffle (similar to the Overlord Strile but essentially different), opening

DOLLIS HILL

for free flow.

Yes, close play there. The diversity of moves this week has been fascinating.

I'm going to continue the natural progression of the minor fifths here with a cunning slip to:

DOLLIS HILL

Spoon!

There's no such thing as a minor fifth, so this therefore invalidates your move, meaning I can claim all 5 billion tokens, and shuffle along as quickly as possible to:

Hah! Taking all 5 billion tokens, monetary value £0.54, would leave you open to allegations of Contempt by default (Stovold 1867 VII ch5:432-435, Default Rules. "And then Trellis was forced into Spoon by a major fifth* whereupon the Tokens in the Token-bank were deposited and the denizens of Fleet-street laughed like a single, fat badger. Thus was the law of Defaults. Amen.")

That opens up Kings Cross to uni-turnal shufflebacks. Employing one of which, I invoke
DOLLIS HILL.

*n.b. not a minor fifth.

Well, you leave me with no option but to declare that statement null and void, as there is no such thing as a major fifth either.

But, try as I might, I still can't seem to escape from:

Oh dear, such amateurishnessmentalism.

Everybody knows that minor fifths are permissable under the Rome Treaty of 1984 (see also Monk vs Garrison from the year before at Eindhoven).

All three of the previous moves are therefore null and void and as I made the move before FB contested the minor fifth usage, I can re-double the line speed and push the envelope just off to the right as I force contempt of Southgate:

DOLLIS HILL

The 5 billion tokens are returned to the pool and the beast has been placed on guard to ensure no further novice-like attempts at grabbing them.

The key signatures for this passage of play have now been reversed so the tone of the whole section has been somewhat altered for the worse.

However, with careful application of Bach's Second Law of Token Dynamics, we can play:

DOLLIS HILL (sharpened 9th, flattened 5th)

and still remain very much in key.
