    Yes Moog ISIHAC, you are quite right. It's my favourite. Want to go and watch a recording some day.

    Always thought we should have a forum game of Mornington Crescent, would make a welcome change from Werewolf.
    Standard Forum rules of course. I'll start:

    Hmmm. Are we playing a specific Wfc variation with zonal allowance?

    I ask because otherwise I can't see how that's an allowable move.

    WFC variation so can include the Croxley Rail link, so it should be allowable. Unless you want to go to adjudication?

    For any new players here is a copy of the London Underground Map, you may like to print it out and use a small token (like a coin) to keep track of play

    Has to do with the escalator and stair rules I think, that wont become active in this variation unless someone ends up in nip!

    Hmmmm, that's fair enough, thought I might be able to slip that under the radar.
    In that case if we are playing the sounds like someone's name rule then:

    Sorry to ask but is this following the Mortimers variation, version 6 rules? If it is, I'm not sure Warren St is allowed?

    Saw ISIHAC at Reading last year but it wasn't for a radio recording, just a tour I think. Jeremy Hardy was the guest. I don't think I've ever laughed as much continuously as that evening.

    Did he sing?

    Easier to get tickets for the roadshow than the recordings. We've seen it twice (once with Humph, once with Jack Dee) and still have the free kazoos. But when they did a recording in Bath last year, Mrs Keighley was on the phone for 7 hours trying to get tickets before finally getting through and being told they had gone. At least I only had to stand in line for 2 hours to get tickets to see Kraftwerk last month.

    Oh dear I got carried away in the excitement.

    Not sure what happens next but on the slim chance I'm not disqualified I'd like to propose Shirley Temple

    There is definitely a certain unique quality to his singing voice.
    As I said Knight GT when I mentioned about exposed diagonals! Obviously a reference to Mortimer's variation.

    Ill refer you to Trumpington's forth gambit then Moog:

    If a player ends up in ‘Nidd’ they must relinquish any Piccadilly Line stations previously captured and store them in a sealed container marked ‘Nidd Stations’. Once safely out of Nidd, by at least 500 yards, the player may be given back their stations from the container.
