I must repay your kindness and warn you of our present company. I believe that Madness' game is not entirely cricket. We have all seen the gameplay, which at face value looks awfully lot like the "Good ol' Pig & Whistle rundown", but there are frustrating elements of "Principalities gambit" acting in counterpoint and some of the strategy resembles "Peripheral Movement" plays of the grand master Razenda Marcus. I get the feeling that he is actually designing a completely new Trojan Horse type strategy as we speak. I believe we must act swiftly and get wise to this chicanery, or we might be applying the atrocious "Trojan Madness of TZ, 2015" in a couple of decades.
I'll start by cooling the game to get some time to breathe. I will invoke "A Fog As Thick As Pea Soup" as the Gulf of Taranto precedent allows, and take us swiftly via Bond Street to Paddington. Before you make objections to the double move, see "The Unabridged Michaelmas Rules And Field Regulations, 1981" which clearly states that "In honour of Michael Bond, after being de-spooned, you are allowed to move from Bond Street straight to Paddington, if Michaelmas will follow in less than fourteen fortnights. This will also make all future Spoons of the game sticky with marmalade until Michaelmas, unless a Dishwasher is invoked after five o'clock PM on any day starting with the letter "T" in the following month."
