I've been ruminating! That's quite a mess you landed me in, you know... :P

Now, the pattern of the game so far has reminded me greatly of one partiuclar historical match of much local fame, namely that of the "Two Joshiah's" in 1785, between of course Wedgewood and Spode. Wedgewood managed to trap Spode in a similar manner, though of course the rules were somewhat different - the Potter's Wheel Rules have never been widely used outside north Stafforshire, and have generally been quite unpopular here since the 1820's anyway. But, as I say, the situation was similar enough. And of course Wedgewood thought, as did all the spectators, that Spode's defeat was only a matter of time, but somehow in a moment of clarity Spode percieved that all was not lost after all...

So, using Spode's Third Kiln maneuver (as it came to be known), I will make my next move:

Hyde Park Corner.
