From "Stovold's Mornington Crescent Almanac 2002". (Orion Books 2001)
(ISBN 0-75284-729-5)


"if the game refuses to shut down then several courses of action may be tried:

Advance your slappings and sacrifice Bethnal Green. North's partner will be forced to trump. Say "Mornington Crescent" whether you have prised open your laterals or not".

Well, actually, when this thread was kicked off by Edain, you could have got to Mornington Crescent from High Barnet direct, no bother, without playing the game. Or even (as suggested by Edain) from Morden this morning.

When last seen (about 3 hours ago), there were no trains between Finchley Central and High Barnet on account of another problem on the Northern line.

Who needs a game, when the real thing is now quite surreal?

Is there anyone with you who also wants to play the game?

Has the plug been inserted?If so remover it discreetly and make yourself comfortable

Has the wall been laid out properly with the funnel in place?

If none of the above problems apply then say "Westbourne Crescent" and in the ensuing argument the game will self-start. Looks to me that's what's happening here.

I took the ferry from Queenscliff to Sorrento and drove up the Mornington Peninsula via the Nepean Highway, I didn't see no crescents!

Good service today on all tube lines. Even the snails should have arrived by now. Mornington Crescent.

I feel aggrieved. This now means I am stranded all the way out at Galleon's Reach. Humph!
