In Bloodbowl time can be a real issue. The 4 minute rule and whether you are obliged to time someone out, causes major arguments. Time though, can be an even bigger issue in real life.

Which is why, I'm such an idiot. I Woke up this morning at the usual 4:45am ish, got up, put on the water heater. Made breakfast and sat down in front of the computer, but something just didn't feel quite right. It was really really quiet.

By this time I'd been up 20 minutes or so and it was around 5:10. Usually there's a lot of activity. Allah and the disciples have usually started their daily gig of the popular hits OOOOhhhhhhh AHHAAaaahHHHHHH and the unforgettable AHEEEEEHHHAAAAAH AAHHHH AAAHHHhhhAAH. Also there's a general 'hubbub' in the apartment block, as other overly paid 'consultants' try to fit their tummies over a belt.

Strange I thought, I better check the time. - google - 'what time is it in Saudi Arabia?' and there it was, as I sat there with a half finished bowl of cornflakes and an orange juice flashing away at 02:11..............

My computer keeps reverting back to UK time, the popular opinion is it's a bit homesick. So at some point, I must have changed it the 3 hours forward twice! Being in Saudi, I can't even blame it on the alcohol!

I should have known better when I looked at the microwave and called it a 'cheap piece of Saudi shite' and spent 5 minutes changing it by 3 hours too! (Yes, really 5 minutes, it's a bit difficult to do when you're half a sleep in the middle of the bloody night!)

So if you're listening.......I'm really very sorry Microwave, you're not really that cheap or shite or indeed probably Saudi.

You on the other hand laptop are a piece of filthy capitalist cra - - BLINK - -
