Either I'm going mad or everyone else is

[EvianBaby]

I keep seeing threads about partys and all the answers (and there are alot) are really weird. But everyone seems to know whats going on.

Someone please enlighten me!

[grasscarp]

give us a link to one of these threads

[B00]

is it the joke in the jokes category? It's really clever rather than funny.

They're all in phrases and sayings. I'm clearly nowhere near clever enough. I don't understand any of them.

[B00]

Read the sentences, especially the names out loud- will become clear then.

[grasscarp]

There are quite a few threads on Answerbank that I dont understand either, so you are not alone.

[Prudie]

Really evian? You know you say the name of the child with the surname and it then sounds like something else, for example Mr & Mrs Wallcarpet and their son Walter - walter wallcarpet :-)

[Everhelpful]

I don't understand most of them either,evian.

I saw these yesterday but couldn't think of any witty ones myself to add.

[EvianBaby]

Oooohhhhh!!!! So it's just like a game with a clever play on words.

I was sooooo confused.

[Hopkirk]

You are going mad, sorry to break the bad news.

[EvianBaby]

Well I feel pretty dumb now. I don't think I'll make any attempts to join in.,

[erin-x]

Aw I noticed one of these the other night... It took me a while to click lol :-)

Evian, Its based off that BBC Radio 4 programme, Mornington Crescent. Often an end feature to the programme - different balls for the verbal jousting.

[EvianBaby]

Oh I see. I've advanced on to Radio 2 but I'm not quite at radio 4 level yet.

I'm glad on not the only one who's head it went over. :)

[jackthehat]

It's actually "I'm sorry I haven't a Clue"....where both Mornington Crescent and 'Introductions to the .....................Ball' have long been high-lights.

[Hopkirk]

The Radio 4 programme was "I'm sorry, I haven't a clue".

Mornington Crescent was one of the games played, and that one would certainly stump someone who hadn't heard it before.

[DTCwordfan]

Thanks you are right, both of you. 15 amp fuse gone here! Need to get some new wiring!

[bibblebub]

Mornington Crescent is not a programme, it is just one of the rounds in the very long running show I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue which is currently back on R4 at 6:30pm on Mondays, repeated on Sunday lunchtimes.

[Arksided]

I read them but had no idea.. what they were? They well flew over my head. I relegated myself to Radio 2 years ago... Radio 4 wow... maybe the Beeb can hang on to it until I get there.
