 Mornington Crescent for Beginners August 17, 2007

The team are back again with some enlightening definitions that are often missed..."Plebicite" - web page for common people, "Suffragette" - Package holiday flight and "Rafia" - Craft fair organised crime syndicate
...and of course the always wonderful "Mornington Crescent". This episode has Harry's first ever game of Mornington Crescent and the teams decide to play the childrens junior version of the game to "help" him. So if you're looking to understand how to play "Mornington Crescent", you'll need a good working knowledge of the names of London Underground stations. Thankfully this episode is further simplified as Humph helpfully explains that, "...the Waterloo mainline is irreversible if approached on the diagonal during a lateral pass" Thank goodness, I was worried that it might have been confusing!! Harry makes a valiant attempt to join in which bring a wonderful ad-lib from Barry Cryer "..now, now don't be clever...we're not at home to Mrs Cheeky". Wonderful laugh out loud stuff...

If you want to laugh...and I mean REALLY laugh..at impromptu, witty, cynical, clever, fast, wacky humour, then this CD and the radio show is for you! ISIHAC has been running for years, and currently goes out on a Mon evening at 6pm on BBC Radio 4 when broadcast. This CD captures four fantastic recent episodes of hilarity. If like me you subscribe to the theory that laughter is the best medicine - you will be cured after hearing this!! Totally recommended.
