Bushabloke - I personally find the 1927 rules compendium much easier to follow. If you cannot find this edition then there are some superb rulebooks from the former East German associations, although accurate translation remains an issue (due to the the unusual dialects used throughout, and the references to maps from the Moscow underground, rather than London.)
@bushabloke I Googled it. I don't think there really are rules, except what they're choosing to introduce on different days. Most of the time I think it's mostly about ettiquette & making stuff up. There's apparently a game from a 1960s mag called Finchley Central. You had to name different stations as you pretended to travel the underground, only saying "Finchley Central" at a moment just before your opponent was going to say it. If you say it on your second turn, the opponent is disgusted.
I believe it's going to be a rotating panel of Stephen Fry, Rob Brydon and Jack Dee taking over from Humph. It starts on Monday 15th June 2009 on Radio 4 at 6.30pm
They didn't use the Solway Firth Rhombus rule? It could have given inverse routes straight to Piccadilly, where it would be easy to put the others in irreversible Spoon!
But then again I suppose those rules leave you open to a lot of parallel "danger" moves. Maybe they were trying to play a less risky game.
She had to pop out to the butchers, she has a favourite one that often handles her rump roast but this time shes been recommended to try out some lean pork in the back room.
I've just got a ticket for Nov 15th at Sage Gateshead....I'm so excited.

If you can play Bridge, you can play Mornington Crescent. I can play neither.

Humph passed away over ANZAC weekend ISIHAC can't go on without him and still be the same. I hope they do one last tribute show and end it.

No such luck,
There is no way ISIHAC can continue without him.

They said that when Willie died. It may take a while, it may never happen at all, Humph is a hard act to follow.

I thought she was at her boyfriend's. He cooked her a meal - instead of the conventional beef in ale, he went for the more risqué tongue in cider.
