Congratulations, Stephen. Your last post was #546 which moved us up to

Well, I made my move to the Seattle Ferry Terminal, so it must be
Stephen's turn. He did try to delay the game by claiming it was my turn,
though, so I think that puts him in Huff and takes you out - assuming
we're still playing Stovold's 47th variation.

Well, since it's a musical theme, and on Saturday we heard the world
premiere of a piece of music by Sergey Prokofiev's grandson - who's based
in London (but during the concert, was sitting about 30 feet from us),
Gabriel's symphony was titled "When the City Rules", and was intended as
a musical interpretation of life in a large city - Seattle, London, or
wherever (it was a commission by the Seattle Symphony).
There aren't any stations in common between the London tube map and Link
light rail, but there is a wormhole between Othello Station and Stratford-
upon-Avon, so that's my move. :)

That piece was quite loud, yes. There was a familiar movement - the
March - but yeah, quite dissonant.
> Don't like modern classical. :(((((
I've been surprised by a few modern pieces - Gabriel Prokofiev's piece
made heavy use of syncopation, but it wasn't just loud. It was pretty
nuanced, if highly complex.
I was very surprised last year by Giya Kancheli's Nu.Mu.Zu. - we saw a
premiere performance of that as well, and it was incredible.

That recording was made from our performance, as I recall - but it does
lose something when listening to a recorded version. The most intense
parts, actually, were the completely silent parts.

It was quite literally a case of "deafening silence". You could've heard
a pin drop in that concert hall, and it was full of people.

How did you miss the fine print on that rule? I see you've now made a

Well, if it's bridges, then Archway is the natural next step.
So I'll not be doing that, then.
The DLR to Blackwall.

Oh, that's a type of diode.
Brian Josephson was jointly awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics for work on
superconductivity and quantum tunnelling.
So it's Cardiff, boyo.

Given that Stephen has fallen in the rift, I'm going to hesitate slightly
before going to Hyde Park.

Well, as a rift in time, you should have used reverse temporal
engineering to insert your move in its proper place.
John? Do you recall what the rule is for Stephen's next turn in these
circumstances?

It depends on whether he jumped, slipped or was pushed. You also have to
take into consideration his direction of time travel, the clothes he was
wearing at the time and his last words as he fell.
IIRC he shouted 'Oh F
U
C
K'
Up to you mate. Your decision (the capital option looks good to me)

Which does make a difference. We might need a third party adjudication,
or failing that, for Stephen to bring another round back from the other
side of the rift.

I think he might have got stuck in a corner in time, so we could have a

That was unexpected. Have a beignet while you're there. :)
N'awlins means Louis Anderson, which naturally leads us to Liverpool (by
way of his recording of "Hello, Dolly!" ending the Beatles' streak of 3
#1 hits in a row, which lasted 14 weeks in 1964.
