Happy Christmas!

Ok so I'm a day late in making that proclamation but I haven't had any time until now to make it. To be honest I've been very busy trying to work out what happened in the Doctor Who Christmas Special to have been doing much else. I found it very difficult to get into what with various family members interrupting and requests from people to do things meant that as far as I understood the story went like this:

Doctor onboard some space age Titanic.
Kylie Minogue.
Doctor visits London.
Asteroids hit ship.
Kylie Minogue.
Weird Robot Angels that if they were wearing power armour instead of robes would look like the old Blood Angels Captain try to kill everyone.
Doctor runs around.
Fat person falls down lift shaft.
Kylie Minogue.
Doctor finds bad guy.
Doctor talks to bad guy.
Kylie Minogue.
Bad guy gets killed by Kylie.
Doctor shouts NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doctor stops ship hitting Buckingham Palace.
Doctor saves day.
Dead Kylie (in Star Wars dead person mode) talks to Doctor.
Other people talk.
The End.

All in all it was a strange fusion of popular films such as Titanic, The Poseidon Adventure and maybe even Speed. I'm sure this episode would have been good had I had the chance to watch it properly but by the end I didn't really care whether on not the Titanic hit Buckingham Palace.

Anyhow, this is not some aspiring amatuer film critic blog but the highly Dice Not Included blog - the blog that tells the World what is going on and who is doing it.

Last Wednesday was to be the last meeting before Christmas so a small amount of Christmas fun was organised by Matt. The inaugural Dice Not Included:Christmas Fun Quiz was held. There were 50 questions to be answered and cunningly all of the answers were on the posters that are not decorating the walls of the club. Each person was given 5 minutes to answer as many of the questions as possible. In the event of a tie, everyone was asked to answer the tie breaker question.

In the end, Will Booker won the quiz with 14 questions correctly answered. Ben and John came joint second with 10 questions answered correctly. Tom managed to win the tie breaker (although it was of no consequence but it was worth mentioning). The tie breaker question - for thsoe of you desperate to know was; How many square inches of poster are now covering the walls? The answer was 21112. That's around 15% of downstairs completed. Keep those boxes coming people!

So Will won himself the Empire Generals box set - congratulations to Will.

That night a total of 4 games were played which is good. A warm welcome is to be extended to the 3 lads that have started to join us. Your names escape me once again however you are most welcome to play. I understand that they are travelling from Northwich and are here because they are home from university - let's make sure that they keep on coming back.

An important point to note that because today is Boxing Day, the kind folk at the Gaming Crypt have decided to open tomorrow night (Thursday) as the gaming night. So DNI meet tomorrow and what with it being a holiday i would expect most of us to be there at some point during the day and looking to try out all of the new toys we got for Christmas. Come on down and give us a try.

And while we're here, it's time for Magic Superhero of the Week!
