Interestingly, subsections 3(g)(2) and 3(h)(2) uses the precedent of Lig Lury Jr whose lunch breaks merely marked a temporary period of absence, even when taken to excess. Frankly I think the author of the regulations was trying to sneak in pop cultural references and thought no-one would notice. At any rate, this game is still in progress.</p> <p>Since recently built streets require a year's grace before being subject to the exclusion variations, I think I'll play the often overlooked <strong>Bannerman Cruik</strong>. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1274&page=2#post-258026 Wed, 23 Aug 2017 17:37:32 +0000 Arellcat 258026@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ooh, sneaky move, steveo.

Anderson Comprehensive Amendment (complete with Airport Inclusion Confusion Extension 318) that I found in a branch of a Save the Children bookstore in 2003 (signed).</p> <p>Therefore from Rodney Street the only feasible option is to look at rule 55(1)(A)(a)(mcmxcci) which states that, "When in a location which is within 100 yards of a desired, but so far uncompleted, cycle facility*, the player must adopt the 'moonlighting' phase of play."</p> <p>Therefore I shall private hire cab it to <strong>Pleasance</strong>.</p> <p>*when this particular rule was drawn up the Rodney Street tunnel route was still a mere twinkle. The pedantic player would suggest that as it is now in existence the rule cannot be invoked. However, by dint of the 1917 Mindful Moments explanatory notes drawn up by the late, great Humphrey Lyttelton himself, personally I'd love the Scotland Street tunnel to be opened up, and this in itself counts as 'desired' for the purposes of the 2003 Amendment (marvellous foresight there from Humph 86 years previous). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1274&page=2#post-26801 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 11:27:36 +0000 ruggtomcat 26801@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Puncture!
