   This involved the censoring of a word in a song or poem, If I recall.

   They're changing guards at Buckingham Palace
   Christopher Robin went down with Alice
   Alice is marrying one of the guards
   'A soldier's **** is terribly hard,'
   Says Alice.

   I always thought the second line should be "on" rather than "with"

   I once spent a fruitless half-hour trying to explain ‘Mornington Crescent’ to a German guest. A game with no rules, or rules that can only be understood as meaningless, was beyond his comprehension, until I mentioned Kafka. Then he got it. Quote; “So, the British invented post-modernism, not the French! That is good!"

   Surely Existentialism? "A sense of disorientation and confusion in the face of an apparently meaningless or absurd world", although the Danes beat Just a Minute to that by a century.

   I once met Humph Lyttleton at a party and he sent me a written copy of Mornington Crescent rules - it's very detailed but much less complex than it appears on the show once you've read through them properly.

   If anyone is interested, PM me if you want a copy and I'll pop one in the post....
