Came across this filed under "To be recycled when eveyone's forgotten about it" . It first saw the light of day in 2006, so hopefully you'll have forgotten the answers by now. How well do you know the London Underground? Figure out the following Underground stations from the clues given (including a few devious ones  ). If you’re unfortunate enough not to have been born in the UK, or are not that familiar with the Underground, feel free to Google "List of London Underground stations" Plenty to go around, so take 2 or 3. -1. Was bad news for Napoleon -2. Shrubbery for the herdsman? -3. Royal route -4. You'd be crazy to go here -5. What a rough sea would do to poor sailors -6. Alpine dwelling -7. It's falling down -8. Oriental over-actor -9. Mr Mason’s headgear -10. Weapon store -11. Elliptical -12. Trumpeting New York thoroughfare -13. Anyone for tennis? -14. Captured nobleman -15. Saint Lawrence Seaway? -16. Having reached 1760 yards -17. Monarch with the longest reign -18. Apostolic weald? -19. A bear -20. Patella's lair -21. Container manufacturers found here -22. Where to get your rolls? -23. Red rose entrance -24. Dwelling in the hop county -25. Ballet or vegetables found here -26. Heavenly messenger -27. Irate monarch -28. Where the money is -29. Where blackboard materials are grown? -30. There's lots of them on Merseyside - hint - what's the largest city on Merseyside?-31. Where 007 might be found? -32. Entry to the top floor?
To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self.
I wonder what's on television...?

As I've grown older, I've found that my memory is not as good as I used to think it was.

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
