Unfortunately it seems that in this time stream Brunel was a sanitation engineer. Congratulations Lucius you now make the finest line of Water Closets in the western world.  So, from the coalfields of Nottingham I think the only sensible course is... DerbyZ. |

In this timestream, Bavaria has a thriving airship industry, bolstered after Prince Luitpold was deposed. As such, Bavarian cities can be reached by dirigible.

I play Canary Wharf, then, while the Doctor is busy dashing around being all clever, I steal the alien tech and subtly alter all of my toilets so that those who use them come under my mind-control.* With all of Europe's richest under my secret control, the game can't last long before I hit MC...AHAHAHAHA!!

That would have made the entire trilogy much shorter... Frodo and companions purchased tickets to Mount Doom, Got off the train, ran up the stairs and tossed the ring into the fire.

'Well, that's the end of that' Said Frodo. i was once told (but never seen my self so this un authenticated) of a web comic (or maybe a cartoon, i cant remember) where after the council at elronds gaff Sam and frodo hitch a ride on a pair of giant eagles, fly straight to to mount doom and drop the ring in on a fly by, Sam turns to frodo and says "that was easy, can you imagine if we'd had to walk the whole way" lol |

Curses! Even my clockwork latrines cannot break an Upminster Double Loop, and of course the Brunel Side-slip cannot be attempted twice in a game...
Hmmm...

You can't break an Upminster Double Loop by moving to Dollis Hill. OPB, your move is invalid, and you have to pay 2 (two) strumpet tokens.

If you havn't got any strumpet tokens, I'm currently trading two harlots for a strumpet, I think you'll find that hard to beat...
