    Underground

    So, I received an invitation today for a drinks party with a theme of "London Underground Station of your choice".

    I think it should be fun but am aware a few of the people attending have been to one of these before. I am therefore trying to think of an idea for one of the less obvious stations in order to avoid duplication.

    Any ideas would be appreciated - am prepared to be reasonably outrageous, and the quirkier the better - I think! GULP!

    Thanks in advance.

    Re: Underground

    You could just go in your normal clothes and during the night everytime someone tries to take a drink or a nibble or go to the loo etc etc etc come up with some complicated rule why that "move" wasn't allowed.

    "I'm sorry you can't take a drink until Shepherd's Bush has spoken to Green Park" etc

    then when people are getting really annoyed and ask you "what the heck have you come as anyway?" just reply "Why, Mornington Crescent of course"

    Fab play on words. Had been wondering how to do Mornington Crescent - very subtle (probably a bit too subtle for me!!).
