Well, I do occasionally have muscle spasms that cause that - seems that
my muscles have gotten used to exercise, and when I don't, they remind me.

No, no, no. Note today's date because I'm lost for words and it doesn't happen
very often.
I don't know, they did series in 2002, 2006 and 2007.

Yeah, that's what I knew about. But I haven't heard any of those series
either so even if it was a repeat, it's still new to us. :-)

I think rule 47(a) says that the winner is permitted to start the next
round - and I'm already in hoc to you for a bought round, so I figured
let's give it another go and see if I can earn that bought round back. :-)

I think that the teams are too small and we need an adjudicator.

Well, the teams aren't too small, because we had 2+ months of a game with
teams the way we are now....But I'll call in an adjudicator, one
moment. :-)
OK, adjudication is in......
I am permitted to start this round, but my next move has to be to
Bayswater.

You can't fool me, your lips moved. We need an independent adjudicator.
If you are at Bayswater then I will meet you in the Redan at the top of
Queensway.

My lips couldn't have moved, I had an independent adjudicator. Of course
it was my wife Amy, but she's independent. :-)

Hmmm.
Well, I'll go for Elephant & Castle, then, keeping with the chess theme.

Well, oddly enough, she made the same observation before ruling on the
issue - so I think she's probably done so in a completely fair way.

Well I've gone to an independent adjudicator and the opinion is that it is "mugs
away".

Paddington is out of bounds due to it being up to me to start and I'm pondering
the rules to play by.

No, you get to start the next game. :-)
Since you didn't make a move, you miss your turn and I am just going to
sit on this train and ride it to Bayswater.

As we're using the simplified international variation for overseas visitors. I
remove a qbit and find myself transported to Mornington Crescent on the number
27 (Not a bendy bus so I don't fall foul of the Johnson Trap).

So rather than fall for the Johnson Trap, you instead fell for the Boris

Perhaps, but that means you forfeit your turn again. ;-)
So I'm going to continue to stay on the train I'm on and go to Notting

Well, no, the Boris trap you fell into invalidated your last move. ;-)

Ah, now I missed that part of the rule. Fair enough.
Given that your adjudicator said it was a mug's game, I guess that means
I get the first go this time around. :-)

Mug's away, mug's game is something different.
Anyway I thought that the game had reached its natural conclusion and would
return later for a new series.

I kinda figured you'd be familiar with it, being familiar with the Warner
Bros. cartoons - the dish comes up quite frequently when Yosemite Sam
shows up on the scene.
I spent probably far, far too much time as a kid watching those
cartoons. I wish they still ran those classics.

Although I liked Bugs it is a long time since I've watched any. Not since I was
in my teens and again that was so long ago they were in black and white. ;)
I seem to remember that puppets were more popular here in the UK. Bill and Ben,
Stingray, Four Feather Falls and of course Muffin the Mule :-)

This conversation has been going on so long that Thunderbird has
actually wrapped the header position back around to zero. I didn't even
know that was possible.

Well, they were colour here when I watched them, but it also has been a
long time since I've seen any of the "classic" cartoons. "What's Opera,
Doc?" being one of my faves.

Wow, I didn't either. :-)
Isn't that one of the reasons this thread started?

I suppose so. Now I mostly wonder by what factor this is the longest
p.o.t thread ever.

It was probably my eyes that were in B&W then ;)
I particularly disliked the Yosemite Sam episodes preferring Daffy Duck.
