Mornington Crescent (1 Viewer)

[Mr Chrysalis]

does anyone fancy playing Mornington Crescent from the panel game "In sorry I haven't a Clue"?

I'll kick it off with "Piccadilly Circus"

"I'm sorry I haven't a clue"........



........
How to play.

 

[Minxy]

I think its the name of tube stations ... how about Paddington!

 

[bladerunner]

Are we playing the kazekstan reverse rule or Beijing classic?

I never understand this game. When can you say Mornington Crescent. Am I thick? Don't answer that.

Ah @bladerunner , I see you are an expert! Let's go with Reverse Beijing. In that case, to follow @Minxy Girl 's Paddington, I think it would be Nelson's Column.

... Im sorry I haven't a clue how to play the game ... really I haven't ...

I just put Paddington as the new film's out!

 

[s7ev0]

I sense false modesty hiding a bluff, there, @Minxy Girl ! Gamesmanship already!

Ok then, if you're going to play that game - Caledonian Road!

No, seriously, I've never actually heard the programme being broadcast other than the odd 'advert' for it, but have heard OF it ... not telling porkies ... honest ...

... shouldn't that be Caledonian Road and Barnsbury though ....

Ahah! Gotcha! Barnsbury was only proposed!

Caledonian Road still stands (in fact under Reverse Beijing it will take some dislodging).

She's good isn't she @BritStops , but don't let her fool you into the Scottish Offside penalty

Thanks for that - nearly make a rookie error there! Can't believe I forgot about the Scottish Offside trap!

Well seeing as I haven't got a clue how to play, have never been on the tube and don't live anywhere near it, I'm just looking at a pdf file and the name is clearly shown as I have stated:

I said "I'm sorry I haven't a clue" and meant it.

Mind, if I can bluff you maybe I should take up poker!

You were right, @Mr Chrysalis - she went for the Scottish Offside trap!

Cunning. Very cunning...

It's a bit of an unusual move, but I'm going to try it to see where it takes us:

As you can see I have not got a clue but I remember the former tube train carriages we had on Alderney had Mornington Crescent on them.

I used to listen to the programme when Knickerless Parcels did it I think umpteen years ago!

I know there were/are? some on the Isle of Wight but not sure what use they would be on Alderney - unless as a waiting lounge for Aurigny Air?

@nicholsong, this is pasted from the website. I would love to be able to dig out the pictures I took back then but they are on an external hard drive which I can not (as far as I know) couple to my vintage iPad.

Surely this infringes rule 3(b)(i) of Mornington Crescent?

 

[Easyliving]

Too many bloody amateurs on here who have no idea how to play, spoiling it for the rest of us.

We need Samantha to explain the rules. By the way, for those of you who have never met Samantha - here's a photo.....
