Don't blame you Eddie. But take your time... you have plenty (see below).
Duke: In all the times I have played Crowley's Invocation and sent my ghastly minions abroad, no one has ever before come up with the simple counterthreat of holy water before. That is an inspired riposte Sir, though I fear your dramatic inspiration will lead to nought.
Gentlemen, this aggressive stance of mine has all been a ruse, a diversion, to draw your gaze away from my real intention. It is difficult, I admit, to ignore the ragings of 20,000 Millwall supporters. And it is probably unwise to ignore the insidious chill of vampiric shades which have their own interpretation of what "terminal" means. But the idea was to distract you both with these highly militant manoevres and leave the way open for simple endgame play.
Thus, while you are busy with entrenching and otherwise preparing for a scrap around the City, it is my duty to inform you that the scrap will not materialise. For in thread 1, while your attention is elsewhere, a simple reverse shunt now takes me unopposed to Mornington Crescent. And in thread 2, I can cash in the massive token fall that came from my Septimus Divergence at Seven Sisters, translate this to Line Velocity, and - in the words of Encyclopaedia Morningtonia - "strile unimpeded to Mornington Crescent with several dozen bonus points".
Since I thus reach Mornington Crescent on both threads simultaneously, the game is mine gentlemen. But I must say you have both been worthy opponents and in particular I am recommending Duke for a citation in MC Monthly for his ploy at St. Pauls - a stunning move utterly belied by his earlier stodgy play.
