I'll make my move tomorrow but if you are going to Harrow Road then you might as
well drop in for a drink as that's where I live.

The adjudicator has gone for a long sleep so my move is westward to.
But hold on it is the 13th of the month so I can't do that. I'll go to the
Queensway invoking the degenerate prism rule.

:-)

We still have the question of whether your move was legal or not. ;-)

Now I need to wait for a few hours while I contemplate the next move - as 
I'm in the office and as I don't live there, my knowledge of the maps 
isn't as comprehensive as yours.

However I seem to recall that according to rule 19f, the degenerate prism 
rule can't be invoked during the second full week of any month except 
September, nor on alternating Tuesdays (however that would be even-
numbered Tuesdays, so on that score, you'd be OK if it weren't the second 
full week of the month).

That said, though, you can make the move without invoking the degenerate 
prism rule.  You just don't get the bonus.

Fair enough, it was probably a rounding error.

Or at least a roundabout error.

My move is St. John's Wood.

Fair enough.  I just posted my move.

Points to the American and as we all know. Points mean prizes!

My last move was going to be Swiss Cottage (next door to St. John's Wood) so we
must be homing in.

Marylebone.

What do prizes mean? ;-)

Oh, now that was predictable.  Very predictable.  Any more predictable 
and I could've made the move for you.  But I wouldn't, of course, because 
that would have put Garden's variation of Rushton's fifth rule into 
effect.

Goodge Street.
