Is Blackpool a nice enough place to play Blood Bowl?

Why are you going to show up England in front of Europe by holding it in the cultural hell hole that is Blackpool ffs?

As an Englishman, I for one would like to apologise in advance to those attending.

I dunno, Blackpools got a lot going for it.

For example, there's...well, you can...um...oh yeah, there's always..no, that's Blackburn....uhhh...

Nope, DW's right there.

Well, it's good enough for the Tories for a start...

I rest my case.

We picked the location due to the price and the accessability of it.

Its easy enough to get too from liverpool and manchester airports and a lot cheaper than london.

Coupled with the cheap accomodation and the fact we will all be drunk all weekend it doesn't really matter ;]

Like to also thank you for the cooperation on keeping this thread on topic, how do I get someone to moderate this?

On request of Dook I split the Blackpool discussion from the rest.

...the Marine Conservation Society has slammed the coastline of the North-west of England, including Blackpool and Morecambe, as "little better than a cesspit".

I've been to Blackpool.
I had never planned on returning.

Let's face it chaps, what do we do on a BB weekend? Er, play BB during the day then find some cheap pub and drink beer until we can't see properly. I sincerely doubt that ANYONE is attending for the real life culture. Put in perspective, the only culture we saw in Germany was a set of bongos and a tree (!).

What do you want? Paris to host it so you can have a trip down the champs elysee in an open top horse and carriage?

Sorry if this comes across strongly, but it's in perspective with the original post.

I'll get me coat (flat cap and whippet)....

What about the hat with "Kiss me quick" on the front? (and "F*ck me slowly" on the back!)

Maybe we can give every participant one as a memento

Darkson · Post by **Darkson** » Mon Jun 06, 2005 7:06 pm

What, a kiss on the front and a "F*ck on the back?
