h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Over the years listening to Radio 4 I have gradually realised what an anally retentive clique Mornington Crescent players are.

Baffled by the pointlessness of the game, I made the effort to look up the rules, but of course we ordinary folks are not allowed in.

This 'humorously' keeps any colloquial riff raff in the dark, whilst a small band of London hoorays maintain their overblown sense of self importance. How terribly British.

Please stop these old men laughing at their own unfathomable jokes, dribbling on interminably. It is a sorry waste of time.

My Dear Oliverini.

I can quite understand your frustration as the rules are most elusive. I can certainly give you some starters, such as Mornington Crescent (the modern version) is most definitely based on the London Underground, but the thing you must understand is it is not dependant on said underground as our history shows us.

Two key components of the game are composure, of you which aparently have none, and of course patience. The nature of the game is very much like chess and games have been known to run on for years.

Can I recommend that you get a copy of the underground map and have a really good look. I'm sure with time, you will start see some clues.

My final words are reverence and myrth in equal measure. Yes there is humour in the game, and what is wrong with that? How stern a household you must run.

Now run along, there's a good chap.

Someone just doesn't have the time to get involved in a game, or the point misses them totally. Not a great loss then.

Someone else doesnt notice he in fact toddled off 2 years ago...*ahem*

Yet came back. Life happens, but dead brothers and fathers tend to stop things for a while.

Do you want a parachute up there on that high horse?

Who is ruder, the shameless rude person (Me!) or the person that is rude in return, and indeed offers an insult, personal opinion and an utter disregard for anothers knowledge of backstory which the shameless rude person did not know anything about, so person arriving is sitting on a stool on an even higher horse because of it?
Hang on, I lost the point I was trying to make...erm... I think it was something to do with Morny being for playing not making points...damn I hate it when I cant think of good philosophy.

Have we just wrong footed and caught each other off of what would normally be such a friendly guard?

I do hope so.

Yes!

Ah.

It looks as if we have both just had quite a dance indeed!

Good old us!

Dance?? Do I hear a Tango

Lil, lil beaustiful lil, I would dance with you any day of the week including tuesday Unless it was the mamba, I do not have the posterior for it.

I sure it does a lovely wiggle

Aw, shucks...
