Now, can anybody explain 'Nip'?


Are we allowing swiving?

Ian


Ian,

do you mean swiving under the Québécoise/French Canadian rules, Pre '74
Whiting-Bellamy accord rules or open-play swiving?

I understood that swiving was only allowed in a game that started from Blake
Hall, but as that station has been closed for some time and you are still
managing to swiv, think you may find that you are the greatest exponent of
this lost (and by me) much missed art.

(I can dip in and out of this game all day!! I work from home. What's your
excuse?)

Giles


What about Sir Henry Cruns exceptions - if someone can explain it
properly to a newbie like me!

Open-play. I'm not sure the others still apply following the publication of
Stovold's Rules and Origins.

I do my best. ;-)

I work from home! But I'm off out soon, so maybe we should call it quits
now.

That was a good little match, chaps. Funnily enough, the opening was

Pre1974 (and as all experienced players will know) the Whiting-Bellamy
accord was the loophole to get from Euston Square to Southwark in a
Bakerloo line or non-Bakerloo line starting game.


No, that amendment was actually introduced in 1965, to coincide with the
creation of the Greater London Council. It was not widely adopted by
non London players until 1973, when local government reform reached the
rest of England and Wales, finally reaching Scotland with their reforms
in 1974.

How could I have made such a schoolboy error and committed it to print?!! It
always catches me out that Pre'74 is in fact Post'65 within the old GLC
boundary. Sorry for any confusion caused.

No explanation is needed. Your problem is that you are looking in the
wrong place for the information. Try "knip".

Well at least it doesn't beat as it sweeps as it cleans.


No, *that's* the WonderBra



I thought that was a hazelnut in every bite?


Aren't we going off-topic here?

No, it's Mornington Crescent with the clothing and chocolate
option


Ahh - how about Angel whip?


Sorry, religion is forbidden in Mornington Crescent.


Come off it, Mornington Crescent *is* a religion.

Although I do now have a sofa (see archives), I still can't see any
rulebooks under it. Just some fluff.

Will that do?

Can you re-arrange the fluff to make some new rules?

Hang on, I'll have a look.

No, sorry, . It's all carpet-coloured. It might work if I used a
contrasting surface...

Try putting your rules through a Dyson. It really mixes up the
play somewhat


Don't you have a problem with looping?


Come to think of it I think that may be how the whole Dollis Hill
fiasco got started :-(

Religion? Are you talking Angel or the whip?


Both (but different religions)

I've found that this actually causes more problem with spoon, as well
as sometimes leading to a knip in the air.

It does tend to stretch the diagonals and separate your tokens

(and being a Dyson it *keeps* stretching and separating - or was that
the WonderBra)

Thats a whole other topic
