"The 39 Schleps" : same as the idea but after midnight when the buses have stopped running. |
|
| |
It's one of those charabancs you use for shooting
parties, often though with not so much champagne,
sloe gin and shotguns on board. |
|
| |
// with not so much ... shotguns // |
|
| |
Try the No. 118 after about 2130 ... then again, 92Fs and TEC-9s are more the current fashion. |

Or the Tube..... "Train to nowhere" Savoy Brown. |

BRYAN FERRY LYRICS
"The 39 Steps" |
|
| |
Your place or mine
What do you want from me
And is there time? |
|
| |
Where do we go from here
I wish I knew
Getting too hot to bear
Let's keep it cool |
|
| |
Where do we go from here
I'm in the mood
Living on borrowed time
Let's make a move |
|
| |
Don't ask me why
My heart is breaking
Don't get me wrong this time
Trouble in mind
I'm tired of wanting
Some other spring some time |
|
| |
Don't ask me why
My heart is yearning
Don't get me wrong this time
Trouble in mind
My heart is breaking
Some other spring some time.... |

[8th] my old herring sandwich, could you perhaps clarify which aspects of this idea were not invented solely to satisfy a pun? |
|
| |
We'll get back to you on that. |
|
| |
Where stop are you at right now - Mornington Crescent ? |
|
| |
You don't get us in Nidd that easily ... we know that Clebb's Gambit forbids successive parallels. |
|
| |
Not if you've played a Stoker's Treble in the last 10 moves it doesn't. |
|
| |
Meet for a pint up the junction? |
|
| |
I hope that's a euphemism. |
|
| |
Come on 8th it would be great! |
|
| |
Yes, well, we haven't. If you had been following the game, you'd realise we started from Mile End on the Central line, subsequently changing at Euston Square for Green Park. Even Sven couldn't fault that one. |
|
| |
We ain't frit. Name the date and time, [po]. We'll see your pint, and raise you a Party Four keg of Watneys Red Barrel .... |
|
| |
From what I hear of [8th] you're more likely to get a small one up Artillery Passage. |
|
| |
Anywhere on the northern line. Pick your date. xx |
|
| |
//If you had been following the game, you'd realise we started from Mile End on the Central line// |
|
| |
I see. Well, then, that would be fine unless we were playing with Stavendish's "pikes and garter" rules. Oh wait - we are. Nobody like a bad loser, [8th]. |
|
| |
Gillian Anderson. What about the details for meeting ? |
|
| |
// Oh wait - we are. Nobody like a bad loser, [8th]. // |
|
| |
Ah, but we played our Joker when we crossed the Circle line ... so there. |
|
| |
You played your Joker? In the presence of a lady??? Sir, I bite my thumb at thee. |
|
| |
How about 'Cask'? (see link) |
