Picadilly Circus

Good move. Not at all certain what to do here.

Shadwell I think is an allowable move, but I fully expect all of you to laugh at me now...

Not at all laughable. Actually, quite tough to move well from there.

Leicester Square.

westminster

Not sure that was the best move. Far too risky to use the Circle line at this stage in the game!

Perivale. Get out of that one.

*cautiously*

East Acton ?

Mile End??

(I couldn't of shouted Mornington Crescent just then could I??)

Yes, you could have shouted it. Sorry.


South Bank. MC still possible (I think) in three.

Hyde Park Corner

Hyde Park (above) did indeed make MC possible in two*

So Oxford Street, prevents MC being possible in one*





* I think!

you take this way too seriously

earls court

As long as you stay off the Northern Line, how can you lose?

Conversely jour opponent has to be a bit of an idiot to let you win.

And...


Mornington Crescent



Starting again:

Shepperton

Kensington High Street

Sloane Square

I've just learnt a new move in this game....



Paddington

oohoo !

ok - Aldgate East

Marylebone

I thought the Marylebone maneouvre had been banned

Yes, that does ring a bell ..

Not so fast....



Warren Street (MC in 2)

Dare I say it - Euston....

Argh, foiled again



Mile End

Phew - thought I'd sacrificed it all then: luckily my desperate gamble paid off.

Stepney Green (an unorthodox move, but one which might just work)

baker st

Elephant and Castle

(phew )

Kings Cross

I'm gonna take a gamble guys....

Maida Vale?

THAT got you.

Yes, unusual move.

Picadilly

Earls Court

West Ealing

hmmm a tricky one... westminster

Knightsbridge

Oooh...

Marble Arch

Hmmmmmmmmm

Baker Street

Tower Hill

Whitechappel

mile end

Wooo, good move.

Edgware Road (Circle Line)

I know that Edgware Road (Bakerloo Line) would leave a blatantly open Mornington Crescent opportunity for the next player, and we can't have that

Good heavens, Barry, that's a sneaky one.


OK..... Angel

Clever. On any other day of the week, I could go to Mornington Crescent from there. But, according to rule 234XJ95b2QD101, I am forbidden to go straight to Mornington Crescent from Angel on a Sunday. Silly rules...

So let's go to Dollis Hill instead.

Dollis Hill?

Well, that will call for a rather different angle of attack.....


Elephant and Castle

Well, it's a ponderer, that move...but after careful consideration and consulation with Stovington's regarding use of the Northern Loop, I'm going to go for:

Holborn

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!!

Well, that depends on what rules you want to use

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.

Indeed - RIP Humph - and thanks for all the laughs too!


erm - Upminster?

Erm sorry to interrupt, everyone

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

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.

Barking

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.
