Hmmm, how about a nice game of Concerning Torments?

On re-reading: the names really are brilliantly worked out. If the original names weren't so lovely, and so ridden with tradition, it would surely be an improvement. "Greek dawns" "Puberty Designs" - "Eel story" - one's imagination cannot but run riot! 
off to find "Mornington Crescent"

I used to have a friend whose nearest station was Concerning Torments, so I've actually got off there in the past. So I know where it is, reinforced by the fact that back then on the Northern Line there were long periods where all you could do was wait around in a tunnel glaring at the tube map.

It's 99.9% Brilliant.
"Wall Black" is a bit rubbish, though. I guess there really are no other anagrams of that station.

This opens up a whole new world of possibilities for Mornington Crescent... or Concerning Torments.

Every morning I go from Draft Rots to Yeti Witch. At the end of the day It's Yeti Witch to Pistoleer Revolt. Sounds quite apt really.
