Just before the weekend I purchased the computer game version of Blood Bowl
If you don't know what this is, it's a game invented by Games Workshop which is a bit like American Football but with orcs and elves and other things that will make Monty think you're a bender.

As a young child I used to own a copy of the actual board games, but only one of my friends liked playing it. So we would play entire tournaments amongst ourselves but having about 8 teams each and taking it in turns to manage the different teams.

I don't really have a point to this story, I'm just making conversation.

I built a gate at the weekend, I can show you a picture if you like.

Tell me something you've done.

"Last night criminology expert Professor David Wilson, of Birmingham City University, said the extremely violent nature of the attack was significant.

He said: ‘If you are disembowelling somebody you are defiling their body. It is what you might call “ritualistic slaughter”. The question is how can something like this take place in Frankland and why didn’t the staff protect him?’
"

I think this is most amusing, asking some rent-a-quote "boffin" for an opinion in a story which doesn't remotely warrant one. Clearly he was a nonce, people in prison hate nonce's because it makes them feel better about being criminal scummers by having someone else to look down on.
