|
Subject: RE: BS: Mornington Cresent - April Game From: Folkiedave Date: 13 Jul 06 - 11:45 AM I am certain it was the time they held titles. They did try and form deep and meaningful relationships though. Some of the personal adverts were a bit risque. In fact I shall start a new thread along those lines........ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mornington Cresent - April Game From: GUEST, Topsie Date: 13 Jul 06 - 09:46 AM Gotta be Fox Corner then. (They didn't live very long in them days then Dave? Or was that just the time they held the titles?) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mornington Cresent - April Game From: Folkiedave Date: 13 Jul 06 - 08:45 AM Yes!! Found my Stovold!! I never realised that the first Cornishman to win a master's title was "Wee Airchie MacSporran 1700- 1707" (pp. 14-15). And that there is a book called "Feng Shui for Commuters". Remembering the congestion charge, I'll go for Raynard's Lane "We used to make us own fun in them days." Mr. 'Blister' Lister's sister - Notable Player 1909-1917. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mornington Cresent - April Game From: Mr Red Date: 11 Jul 06 - 12:59 PM Bunnahabhain - you do realise that starting from MC on MC puts you in nid for three full semesters. Pythagorian inclusions notwithstanding heretofore. So why not Cockfosters....... BTW for the confused beginners look at this , or this , you might see a familiar name (or two). |

Subject: RE: BS: Mornington Cresent - April Game From: Bunnahabhain Date: 11 Jul 06 - 09:14 AM The cat has bben very serious recently. I hereby invite all everyone to settle their differences through a less acromonious means, and am therefore declaring a new session of Mornington Crescent. The rules are simple and well known, so I shall not explain them. Here's the only legal opening. Mornington Crescent |

Subject: RE: BS: Mornington Cresent - April Game From: Folkiedave Date: 30 Apr 05 - 04:18 AM "I can see where this is going". Would "Glenmorangie" give you a clue into which way the thread appears to be heading? Glenmorangie Dave |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mornington Cresent - April Game From: GUEST,Bill the Collie Date: 30 Apr 05 - 01:39 AM Sorry for my last post it's just that my beloved says that I always respond to the shipping forecast "Rockall" by shouting "folkall". Specialists and Consultants have failed to find a reason for this. It's hard, life, sometimes, so it is. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mornington Cresent - April Game From: GUEST,Bill the Collie Date: 30 Apr 05 - 01:33 AM folkall |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mornington Cresent - April Game From: Bunnahabhain Date: 29 Apr 05 - 08:14 PM That's clever. I can't. Shipping forecast said visability is moderate to good, but it's all dark out there.... Rockall |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mornington Cresent - April Game From: Folkiedave Date: 29 Apr 05 - 08:03 PM I can see where this is going. Islay. Dave |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mornington Cresent - April Game From: Bunnahabhain Date: 29 Apr 05 - 07:43 PM I knew I should have stuck to locations outside of London, and so avoided any chance of actually winning. I'll start it again, and pretend this never happened.... Cape Wrath should be safe. Bunnahabhain |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mornington Cresent - April Game From: Folkiedave Date: 29 Apr 05 - 07:28 PM I did not seem to make myself clear - apologies. I copied and pasted the post from Bunnahabhain to point out that under the rules (not verbose please) that was in fact a winning post. If you would care to check the ISBN number you will find the book exists and so do the rules referred to. The page numbers are correct also. In fact newcomers to the game of Mornington Crescent should try and get hold of a copy as they will find it invaluable. Regular players will find it valuable. Best regards, Dave |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mornington Cresent - April Game From: Bunnahabhain Date: 29 Apr 05 - 04:44 PM I have to say, I did not make the referred to post a few below this one I wish I had, and it does sound like my kind of verbose and almost certainly self-contradicting meanderings, but it is a fraud and a fake. BTW, Barwick Green. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mornington Cresent - April Game From: MuddleC Date: 29 Apr 05 - 03:10 PM Ahhhh! My copy of the rule book had a coffee stain over that bit; but now its plainly obvious that the degreee of diagonal is the PYTHAGOREAN equivalent of the archemedian linear. (There was a suggestion that instead of measuring in degrees, radians should be used.) Utilising the Duckworth-Lewis is only possible when you can get the wood. or even ST.John's Wood |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mornington Cresent - April Game From: Folkiedave Date: 29 Apr 05 - 07:37 AM I am really sorry to be boring about this but can I just go back to this post? April Game From: Bunnahabhain - PM Date: 28 Apr 05 - 12:23 PM "Stovolds Mornington Crescent Almanac" published 2001 by Orion, ISBN 0-75284-729-5 clearly states (p. 92) At the Annual Peculiar Rule Changing Committee Meeting 2001 Season, Rule 147.22a (For those of you not familiar with the rules of MC this refers to the Angle of the Diagonal) "The Angle of the Diagonal is to be no less than 45 degrees and no more than 53 degrees within Permimeter Buildings" It goes on to say..... "When playing the contract version people may prefer to use Stovold's Original Ruling (itself derived from Warburton) which states "The Angle of The Diagonal is 48 degrees and that's all there is to it"". There is a new simplified wording that says "The Angle of the Diagonal (hereinafter the angle) shall be agreed to be any angle agreed to be an angle agreed to be betwen the angles of 1 Degree and 359 Degrees". (For any newcomers that is Celsius of course and not Fahrenheit). There is even an illustration showing this to clarify matters on p. 93 but that naturally is a straight line. Remember in MC the Diagonal is that which is deemed to be that line which is not monagonal, polyagonal or hemiagonal and is one part removed from linear conjunctions of stations. It seems to me therefore that unless anyone was actually holding Tadge then that was a winning move. Of course this is open to interpretation and I am happy to be corrected on this point under the Duckworth-Lewis Method. Best regards, Dave Eyre |

Subject: RE: BS: Mornington Cresent - April Game From: MuddleC Date: 28 Apr 05 - 07:55 PM 75% is more than 25%...... You're out!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mornington Cresent - April Game From: GUEST Date: 28 Apr 05 - 06:13 PM GWR are only 75% of the value of UKM. So that neatly keeps us in the bosom of Baron's Court. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mornington Cresent - April Game From: MuddleC Date: 28 Apr 05 - 06:09 PM If you're going to be picky, Barons Court isn't stricty part of the GWR, so either lose a turn by visiting the buffet car or accept a shunt. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mornington Cresent - April Game From: GUEST Date: 28 Apr 05 - 03:52 PM The ruling was overturned by the grandson of Duruthers. So, extricate oneself from Barons Court. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mornington Cresent - April Game From: MuddleC Date: 28 Apr 05 - 03:47 PM -look, I'm sorry , but some of you seem to be making the rules up as you go along.... I expect it of some of the colonials, especially where chinese labour built the railway but those who can't or won't remember Brunel's 'wide gauge' ruling are just being 'narrow minded'........ -----Paddington Terminus! |

Subject: BS: Mornington Cresent - April Game From: Stu Date: 26 Apr 05 - 05:02 AM Seeing as Cheddar Gorge has started so well, and we haven't done this for a while, I thought a game of Mornington Crescent may go down well. Not wanting anyone to interrupt the flow of play, and realising not everyone is familiar with the game, this page will help you find your feet. Rules in force for this game: Stick to the official game layout so well all know where we are. Diagonals are allowed but not if they incur repetition. Fouls will not be tolerated. We'll play the Piccadilly Line as east-west only to make it easier for beginners, and we'll stick to the Uxbridge Amendments of 1867. I'll get us started with an easy one: Fulham Broadway |
