How do you play??!! I'm not sure if it says anywhere in this post, but I didn't look at all the pages as there's so many!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)


Well, that depends on what rules you want to use (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I like rule no. 2372.45bqg94z

'Anyone who moves to Oxford Circus from any station inside zone 1 will be sent immediately to Ickenham without the chance of passing Go or collecting £200. Once the player has arrived at Ickenham, it is compulsory to sing 'Jingle Bells', in the key of Eb major, while standing on one leg.'

Is this the moment to invoke the "Pause and pay respect" rule? Dear Old Humph would hate to hinder the fun I know, but this seems like the very thread where we ought to pay him a small tribute - What a man! No doubt the jazzers will add their bit over on the Jazz forum.

Oh, BTW - Embankment.

Erm sorry to interrupt, everyone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

But I'd like to know the rules for this game! Could someone tell me please? Phil Dixon said the rules could be found under 'NF Stovold’s Mornington Crescent: Rules and Origins', but I don't know where to find this!!

Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I think it has been out of print for a while...I'm sure there must be something on this new-fangled internet or that Wikipedia if you care to look.

Dear dear Humph. I wonder if the programme can possibly continue without him.

His timing was incredible, and a grea musucian too..he will be sadly missed.

I found this little gem on the beeb website this morning, on a thread about Humphrey ...

Mornington Crescent has a new move now. The Lyttleton Manoeuvre. (If you're curious, it's just like the Neasden-Stanmore Nexus, without the downside that the player must stay within the Jubilee Line for the next seven and a half syllables).

Don't know if this helps at all ?

I'll be bold and go for

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I can't play this game because I have no idea about the London Underground (if that really matters (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ), but I loved listening to it on ISIHAC, and now I am having so much fun reading your round! Has anyone shouted yet?
