I've been back home in Fermanagh since June, and still haven't set eyes on young brownrob (though our mothers have conversed - this event and a thousand like it are the very fibre of society in these parts). Last time I was regularly resident in Fermanagh, brownrob had not yet acheived his full height...
I too have barely time (or energy) for simple life tasks, let alone tabletop BB (most of my BB career, certainly the best of it, has been played online). Sadly, the number of people in these parts that are a) old enough to remember Blood Bowl when it was last actively promoted by GW and b) due to their heightened intellects from calculating all those 2dbs and assists, yet have not moved away and found city jobs, roughly equates to the number of fingers on my right foot (excluding myself, of course). |

Well,
I live in Belfast, and have heard nothing about a local league. When I asked at the local GW I got laughed at, go figure.
If anyone knows of a tt league or wants to start want let me know.
Cheers, |

Why ask me? You could be embarrassingly late for the bandwagon and paint 'em green and white like the Gaelic team, or after your favourite (English Premiership) footy team, or just pick out three pots of paint at random and use those as your primary colours. Try to pick something to complement the paintjob on those Darkies you did (rather good they were too). They'll be natural rivals (even if you do have to play yourself :S)
Don't get me started on those pipsqueaks in Belfast GW! Snot-nosed, slack-jawed, swivel-eyed, callow, pallid....(running out of adjectives)...youths! |

I by chance wandered into the Light Gallery recently to see what wares they had (front half of shop = lighting fixture showroom, back half = RC and modellers' corner - it's an unlikely combination). Of the (I think) three people that were there, at least two were out-and-out nerds of the old school (bizarre, shabby clothing, 40ish+, obviously single). Plus the guy who runs the place has a manner that somehow bugs me and makes me uncomfortable. I get the feeling you'd be better off looking elsewhere...
At least they had large rolls of synthetic 'grass', coloured for the different seasons, ideal for constructing BB pitches. Only a few quid per roll, too, and you'd get a lot of pitches out of them. They had other basic modelling supplies (flock, GW undercoat and varnish, other bits n bobs - paints are mostly enamel, though ), if you can overcome the fear of being seen there... |

Distances can be a bit of a problem, especially since I am reliant on the bus to get me anywhere, haven't gotten the nerve to try hiring a car here yet (from Canada originally).
Working on a necro team and trying to touch up my wood elf team at the moment.
Really just need a way to get my BB fix, since the firewall at the Elms Village is so restrictive that I can't connect to the proxy server to get a game on line here. |

Elms Village?? Is that what they call the halls of residence these days??
Bah get yourself in a QUB house in College Gardens, best year of my life at uni, non stop parties, random goings on, late night movie marathons, and all 32 housemate's going for a making a fry on a friday morning instead of going to class
Brilliant!! |

Elms Village is what they are calling the halls of residence now.
And I was in a Post-graduate house for a while but since I am now a deputy warden I have to live on site. Part of the deal for the free rent.
But it sounds like it would have been a blast!!! |

Tee hee...
as a molecular microbiologist that does a fare amount of genetics I'll try not to take offence to that.
Although admitedly genetics and biology are not for everyone.
Wish I had time next week to get a tt game of bb in. Unfortunately I have marking to do this week.... man being a post grad sucks sometimes... |
