As the run of play was with the poke, Cameron was able to take advantage of two extra nudges putting Brown firmly in huff and making bus lanes wild. This allowed Clegg to back double as a result of the northern approach. As Waterloo mainline was irreversible, Cameron took the advantage with working escalators at Elephant and castle counting treble and under stovold's second convention the result was inevitable. andhrimnir on "Cameron in knip as Brown deploys the Liberal Coalition Rules*" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=4206#post-12135 Wed, 12 May 2010 08:41:29 +0000 andhrimnir 12135@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ Brown in huff as Cameron deploys Argyle Street Parabola. andhrimnir on "Cameron in knip as Brown deploys the Liberal Coalition Rules*" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=4206#post-12005 Tue, 11 May 2010 14:51:20 +0000 andhrimnir 12005@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ Well, that's you in spoon.

I accept the 3 extra penalty floplits on this occasion. Just another 5 and I get to be David C's fag for 6 months, unless he is in opposition and then it is 8. Thinks. Must be very careful.

Has anyone asked the West Lothian Question yet? andhrimnir on "Cameron in knip as Brown deploys the Liberal Coalition Rules*" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=4206#post-11970 Tue, 11 May 2010 11:49:37 +0000 andhrimnir 11970@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ Neither the Crewe Station Formula nor Fairport Convention can possibly apply. During an election Lord Grosvener's original metropolitan rules are of course hinged and you are restricted to Zones 1 and 2 with scenic routes getting preference and national monuments scoring double. Just to clarify, mainline stations remain wild, looped moves are dissallowed unless rule 7 is reinstated and huffing is allowed only by the incumbent.

Ah, but you're forgetting the Fairport Convention Matty Groves variation. I think if you consult the rules then that's clearly valid here and can be invoked under these circumstances.

Anybody would think we are playing Monopoly or snap.

Better known as his New May Fair Rules. These pre-date, and must not be confused with his Further May Fair Rules of later that year. If in doubt, remember the handy aide-mémoire often recited by seasoned players: Lloyd-George New May Fair - The Further New Lloyd-George. Remember, Prince of Wales Drive can only be approached from the South, and 3 Shepherds in a row earns a bonus point.
