    I watched Humphs tribute video but am none the wiser. Is it to do with number of syllables rising from say two to five and then down again.? Will someone please explain to a simpleton.

    John, have a look at this. It should explain it all for you

    Fleegle, is that move allowed?

    Mornington Crescent was devised by someone young at heart and small of brain. Yet the rules remain a mystery. Till someone smart figures out what it's all about we just suggest a tube station entirely at random, and invent imaginary rules.

    For example Fleegle invoked the zone 1 inverse rule with his "Grange Hill" which means he is in spoon till Samantha waves her wand

    I was under the impression the zone 1 inverse rule had been outlawed since London 2012 was announced and had been replaced by the 'five ring rule', which, if i remember correctly, means Fleegle's move is not allowed.

    Sorry guys, but the Tudor Court Rules of old do not allow pre-emptions of the initial code. Nice try, but you have both found yourselves in a state of knip.

    Accordingly, I will continue:

    Finchley Central

    Tread carefully, as I am within an ace.....
