Subject: If you don't know how to play Mornington Crescent
Try listening to yesterday's I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue - and for our friends over the water, they played American Rules MC, too :-)
New game anyone?

:-( Must admit I get the same in Opera, and have to use IE - try going here, scroll down to "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue" and click "Listen"...
Back to the game:
I suppose Putney Bridge presupposes that transverse diagonals are allowed, so I should be allowed
Highbury and Islington
Subject: Re: If you don't know how to play Mornington Cresc
I've modified this post because I don't want to "let the cat out of the bag". ;D
Thanks for the info, Philbo!

should link to the earlier game which had another link to the rules of Mornington Crescent. The thread is titled OK Mornington Crescent and was also posted by Philbo

As Homer would say, Mmmm, crescents.
Subject: Re: If you don't know how to play Mornington Cresc
If diagonals are allowed, my next move would have to be from H&I to
Ealing Broadway
Subject: Re: If you don't know how to play Mornington Cresc
Well, I suppose I'd better join in with
Stockwell
Subject: Re: If you don't know how to play Mornington Cresc

Subject: Re: If you don't know how to play Mornington Cresc
Baker Street
Subject: Re: If you don't know how to play Mornington Cresc
We're really hitting the main routes... I guess a south-easterly turn is required or we're going to finish too soon:
High Street Kensington
PS I've had a thought: why don't we make the next one a game of Evergreen Terrace - a Springfield variant... I've even found a map

Cheesy! I'll slow things down a little with

Moorgate
Subject: Re: If you don't know how to play Mornington Cresc
You do realize that the Barking->Moorgate approach could have seismic reverberations unless speedily followed by
Embankment
PS Has anybody managed to listen to the ISIHAC recording on the BBC website? 'Cause it's really rather funny.

You might need a bit of patience on a slow connection: it buffers a bit before it starts playing. I think it's RealAudio, at least, it behaves a bit like RealPlayer. Anyway...

A quick strile lands me on

and puts the circle line (westbound) in knip.
I always listen to ISIHAC and thought that this week's was particularly funny (Cow, Lake, Bomb? Hilariously barmy ;D)

I thought so, too - even a particularly good round of Mornington Crescent (which was why I've tried directing people to the BBC website)... Aldgate East, hey? Let's try for

Subject: Re: If you don't know how to play Mornington Cresc
Bank? Totally round the bend... but continuing the aphasic warp takes me to just down the road from where I am now (and so close to Homer territory):
Springfield Gardens
Subject: Re: If you don't know how to play Mornington Cresc
I'm a little lost here but I think
North Haverbrook
is a valid move ?
