Title: Re: Mornington Crescent
Post by: Snoopy on May 04, 2007, 09:05:08 AM: Quote
Before the Roman came to Rye or out to Severn strode,
The rolling English drunkard made the rolling English road.
A reeling road, a rolling road, that rambles round the shire,
And after him the parson ran, the sexton and the squire;
A merry road, a mazy road, and such as we did tread
The night we went to Birmingham by way of Beachy Head.

I knew no harm of Bonaparte and plenty of the Squire,
And for to fight the Frenchman I did not much desire;
But I did bash their baggonets because they came arrayed
To straighten out the crooked road an English drunkard made,
Where you and I went down the lane with ale-mugs in our hands,
The night we went to Glastonbury by way of Goodwin Sands.

His sins they were forgiven him; or why do flowers run
Behind him; and the hedges all strengthening in the sun?
The wild thing went from left to right and knew not which was which,
But the wild rose was above him when they found him in the ditch.
God pardon us, nor harden us; we did not see so clear
The night we went to Bannockburn by way of Brighton Pier.

My friends, we will not go again or ape an ancient rage,
Or stretch the folly of our youth to be the shame of age,
But walk with clearer eyes and ears this path that wandereth,
And see undrugged in evening light the decent inn of death;
For there is good news yet to hear and fine things to be seen,
Before we go to Paradise by way of Kensal Green.

So there you have it Kensal Green

Post by: Grumpmeister on May 15, 2007, 03:06:51 PM: happy100

Never mind Wenchy dear, this may help explain it a little more

novice game

In a recent show, Ross Noble played his first ever game of Mornington Crescent. To make the game simple, play was restricted to to the congestion charge zone only, and the regular panellists were asked in the spirit of fair play to explain their moves to Ross

Other novices to the game may find the following transcript of the game educational.

graeme
The traditional opener, like the King?s pawn really - Oxford Circus, well in the zone, and gives you limited access to Northern parallels. But I suppose it is technically laying an off-side trap there. Force the next player into Knip if he is not very careful.

tim
So I have to go Vauxhall. Basically, things have changed slightly since the Millennium Bridge was put there, so you can back double. So it is basically a Reverse move.

barry
I?m going Regents Street, because that is bridging Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus. So it is an absolute definitive Lateral, which you can reverse on if the situation is right, so you have a double value. It is a Bridger, it is a Lateral, a very useful one early on.

ross

Since it's almost summer and motor racing season, perhaps we might kick off with a Grand Prix version. After all that Lewis Hamilton chappie seems to be doing rather well.

Just a reminder in case anyone forgot:
Quote
Grand Prix version
Pioneered by H. W. M. Stirling, one of the greatest exponents of the Speed Game. As you?ld expect Pit Stops are mandatory and don?t forget the speed limit once you have crossed the white line

Also this is going to be open to all six zones, and don't forget... Bus Lanes are wild!

The lights are turning.... wait for it...

If not Hugo’s 2nd stratagem applies you have moved across consecutive rows which are prohibited unless you are in knip and if we are playing by Bethlehem rules you are not in knip.

Knightsbridge
Title: Re: Mornington Crescent
Post by: Snoopy on December 28, 2011, 04:18:45 PM: Before the Roman came to Rye or out to Severn strode,
The rolling English drunkard made the rolling English road.
A reeling road, a rolling road, that rambles round the shire,
And after him the parson ran, the sexton and the squire;
A merry road, a mazy road, and such as we did tread
The night we went to Birmingham by way of Beachy Head.

I knew no harm of Bonaparte and plenty of the Squire,
And for to fight the Frenchman I did not much desire;
But I did bash their baggonets because they came arrayed
To straighten out the crooked road an English drunkard made,
Where you and I went down the lane with ale-mugs in our hands,
The night we went to Glastonbury by way of Goodwin Sands.

His sins they were forgiven him; or why do flowers run
Behind him; and the hedges all strengthening in the sun?
The wild thing went from left to right and knew not which was which,
But the wild rose was above him when they found him in the ditch.
God pardon us, nor harden us; we did not see so clear
The night we went to Bannockburn by way of Brighton Pier.

My friends, we will not go again or ape an ancient rage,
Or stretch the folly of our youth to be the shame of age,
But walk with clearer eyes and ears this path that wandereth,
And see undrugged in evening light the decent inn of death;
For there is good news yet to hear and fine things to be seen,
Before we go to Paradise by way of Kensal Green.
