I will try an audacious little move and say:

Euston, yes you heard me EUSTON

Im not scared by any of you and your staid and somewhat pedestrian moves,

I would have more competition from a 5 year old.

thats right Im mocking you, so what do you have :supafrisk:

It's a "game" played on the radio, part of the BBC Radio 4 programme "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue" which is a bit of an institution on the mainland. I don't really listen to Radio 4, but when I'm up at my parents' house, Radio 4 is on all the time and ISIHAC is always good for a laugh.

Wait, wait, when you say StanSubMet rules, are you refering to the proper set or the mickey mouse version with the bonus for avoiding locations with the letter G? Because frankly that makes the entire game ridiculous...

A particularly cheeky move, given that under the XR3i anomaly you did not specify Dagenham East or Dagenham Heathway!

I'll play the cherub card and go

Proper set, albeit with the possible inclusion of quantum slipstreams.

Not necessarily. I once played by NIR rules a variation - "Bangor West".
I recall tactical moves via Dublin Connelly and Roscrea!

Should have said! In that case I'll invoke the Infinite Improbability Injunction and go Vauxhall. Lets see you deal with that one!
