See if we can get a decent game going. If you're unfamiliar with Mornington Crescent, here's a link to the game being played - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8538EzCvr8
This game will be played under King Canute rules, with the 93rd Elgar variations in effect. The Dollis Hill loop will be active.
For a map of the London Underground, see http://www.afn.org/~alplatt/tubemap.gif
I'll start with Ladbroke Grove.

It's basically Calvinball for British people on the radio, in that it has no real rules or points and you have to have a subtle and dry sense of humor that is rarely heard outside of British radio.
It also requires a familiarity with London well beyond knowing it's the city where that huge clock is.

The nature of the signature is significant and natural.

Not really. That's why I've supplied a helpful map. I know absolutely nothing about London.DancingMad wrote:It also requires a familiarity with London well beyond knowing it's the city where that huge clock is.
Re: Mornington Crescent
I'll start with Angel.
So what, do we just move by one station each round until someone reaches Mornington Crescent?

Re: Mornington Crescent
Not really, Aposke. You move after someone else. Their move may help you get to Mornington Crescent.
Good move to Angel, all I can do under the 93rd Elgars is a quasi-vertical to Elephant & Castle.

Re: Mornington Crescent
I'll move straight down to London Bridge.
Ha, we're on the same line now, what are you gonna do about that?
