With no Tournaments imminent (though why not skim the rules) i have time for some actual news. Which will have some minimal impact upon FUMBBL.

In RL i am a struggling actor, mainly paying the bills through corporate role play and training work.

This week gone i filmed an advert, which is nice (a 'blink and miss me' shot as a bus driver in the new nutra-grain advert) and the cash will come in handy, as I've just signed a 10 month contract to appear in Londons West End.

From July 1st until mid April 2014 i shall appear as the enigmatic 'Major Metcalf' in 'The Mousetrap' by Agatha Christie at the St Martins theatre.

This will be my third West End credit, but by far the longest. 6 nights a week, and 2 matinees. Only Christmas day off. Family holiday is booked but will go ahead without me, and I will also be growing a moustache. Wife is not happy.

For fumbbl it means some majors/tourneys may start slightly later, but the team can probably handle most things and bring them mostly in on time. If i feel i am becoming an impediment, I'll hand over to someone else, but I hope not to have to do so.

The Big downside could be the WIL, with every evening and all saturday ruled out. But i shall see this season out.

But mainly I'm just incredibly chuffed and want people to know, so this is all a bit shameless. Yay me.

If you're in London June 2013-April 2014, why not come see the show and take a FUMBBLer out for a drink?
