Howard Mitchell Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Since my employment of the Clagwheel variant I have been inundated with correspondence regarding its correct use. Sorry about that. I have sent a PM to Mrs Trellis asking her to desist from bothering the players. Chris Too many diversionary tactics here.... I play - Kentish Town.

Ivan Viehoff Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Does anyone know if Mrs Trellis is any relation of Dr Spacely-Trellis, the go-ahead Bishop of Bevindon, who had such forthright views about matches in the Stretchford Vandals League, as reported by the Rev Bruce Nethers, fearless reporter and padre of St Attilla's, and overseen by King Norman and Queen Brenda in Buckingham Council Palace?

(Mornington Crescent in 5 moves) Now your moving into Pythagoras' theorem concerning right-angled triangles. And stridling is involved. Locks you out five moves or not. St Pancras was closer. Perhaps we should centerise with, T C R, but. No I think that, Warren Street Should help. Go for it lads. Chas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Timson Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 (Mornington Crescent in 5 moves) I agree. I am going away for a couple of days, so cannot play the game out I shall be most surprised not to find a winner on my return. Meanwhile it's been a bit quiet above the line recently, so I shall stir things up by playing: Harrow-on-the-Hill Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidcorner Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Since my employment of the Clagwheel variant I have been inundated with correspondence regarding its correct use. Sorry about that. I have sent a PM to Mrs Trellis asking her to desist from bothering the players. For some reason, a message from Mrs Trellis found its way into my E-mail system. Dear Mr Wheatstone, Word has reached North Wales about your expertise in Bridge. I would like advice about the following problem. Last week, I made an unfortunate slip by playing the wrong card from dummy, resulting in going 7 down in a Grand Slam that I should have made, and a very agressive response from my partner. Can you advise me how I can get my partner to speak to me again? Yours sincerely, Mrs Trellis PS I get the stitches out next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fidjit Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 (edited) Well now, just to say that Mrs Trellis arrived last night as a belated Valentines Day "Strippergram". Enough said. Relating her thoughts on several noted exponents, remarking that I had enlarged (!) enough tokens by my unoposed references to the 1700's in this 'minor debacle' (her words) and therefore advised me to fofeit a couple by leapfrogging Euston therby landing directly in Mornington Crescent for completion. Just remains to take the lift up to street level. Ah! Fresh air once again. How was it for you? Chas Edited February 17, 2007 by fidjit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nontox Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 As far as I understood the rules (...) this is quite ... ummm ... oh can someone explain this again?? what do the others say? I am not convinced that this was it! nontox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Timson Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 I am not convinced that this was it! Well, it's certainly unorthodox. Bold, even. I don't think I've ever seen play quite like that. I think we're going to have to have a quick discussion about this. FWIW my own opinion is that this is a master stroke and possibly even a precedent setter, and that we have a worthy winner of the 2007 Wheatstone Memorial Mornington Crescent Game.
