Is anybody out there familair with the old Sorry I Haven’t a Clue favourite Mornington Crescent?
I thought perhaps you might like to join me in a game. I think we can make do without the German Switchover rules - don’t want things getting to complicated!
I’ll start us off with[COLOR=blue][B] Holborn[/B][/COLOR]

( am am using this tube map )
[color="#300090 "]Never heard of this game, but then I am across the pond from any “tubes” as you call 'em.
Not knowing the rules, I’ll phrase my reply in question form.
Would [B][COLOR=“Blue”]Chancery Lane[/COLOR][/B] be an acceptable next term?

P.S. Tarrentella, your name appears familiar to me. Have you ever been to the [U]HP-Lex[/U] Forum? [/color]
I don’t know how to play!

Here is the Wikipedia explanation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mornington_Crescent_(game )
(although I am still not entirely sure, or even partly sure, on how to play)
I read the Wiki too- and was like “WHAT?” It sounds like something I would love though!

Since there aren’t any rules, this side of the Pond or the other, I think Tarrentella already won by writing “Mornington Crescent”.
I have absolutely not won. OK so it is a little obscure, but just follow on and see where you go.
Of Jumps Jack made a very good choice with Chancery Lane, so i think my next move would be [COLOR=red]Notting Hill Gate[/COLOR]
[COLOR="#300090 "]I now wonder if the tubes have directional (one way) routes?
[B][COLOR=“Red”]Liverpool Street[/COLOR][/B][/COLOR]
Oh a wiley move there Jeremy.
[COLOR=red]Hammersmith[/COLOR]
[color=#300090]Ha ha![/color]
[color=blue][B]Embankment[/B][/color]
Hee hee, I was just at Embankment not too long ago- rode the London Eye
Oxford Circus
ETA I have no idea what I am doing- please call any illegal moves out!
Baker Street
Sorry, I haven’t a clue about this game.

[color=#300090]If I [explain it to you ](Mornington Crescent (game) - Wikipedia , then I’d simply be Kirk talking about Fizzbin to get [I][U]A piece of the Action[/U][/I] . If you [U]Mind the Gap! [/U] and follow the dots , then you’ll be on the right track . The game is afoot, old chap. Good luck![/COLOR]
[Color=Blue]Leicester Square [/color]
[SIZE=4]Soooo I went up for air and walked to [/SIZE][SIZE=4][COLOR=Red][B]Victoria.[/B][COLOR=Black]Does that count? [/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE]:blooby:
[color=#300090]Well, my next stop is a guess.

[COLOR=Blue]Holborn![/COLOR]
[color=#300090]Well, bust my buttons! Have I made it to…
[color=blue]Euston[/color] ? [/color]
I say, hardly seems a legal move to me old chap. I’d say [COLOR=MediumTurquoise]Cannon Street[/COLOR] is far more likely.
