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.

Ah, well, that at least in my experience is certainly true.

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. :-)

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, if that's the case, then I have no choice but to go to Paddington.

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.

Well, if you lose this one you get to start then.  Deal. :-)

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 
Trap. ;-)

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

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.

I suppose so.  Now I mostly wonder by what factor this is the longest

It was probably my eyes that were in B&W then ;)

I particularly disliked the Yosemite Sam episodes preferring Daffy Duck.
