Welcome to Fantasy 40k
If you think your important, in the great scheme of things. Do the water test.
Put your hands in a bucket of warm water,
then pull them out fast. The size of the hole shows how important you are.
I think we should roll some dice, to see if we should roll some dice, To decide if all this dice rolling is good for the game.

Because they don't want to die or become paraplegic / quadraplegic? Have you seen the guys who play gridiron? Do you really want to be charged by one without armor? Even with the armor they get fethed up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_issues_in_American_football http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110105043857AA0iB1I

As a British person who plays American Football at Uni and has played rugby throughout secondary school I feel qualified in saying the difference between American Football and Rugby is that Rugby is a contact sport while American Football is a collision sport. There's also lots of rules in rugby dictating where you can hit someone whilst there isn't in american football. And, the best thing is? The pads and the helmet aren't to stop you being hurt. they're to stop you being 'seriously hurt or killed'.

It really isn't. I love Newcastle with a passion as it is my #1 stag doo destination.
The reasons for this are twofold.
1. The booze is cheap.
2. The local lasses are cheaper.
I found this out when having ordered a round of 10 large Vodkas and Redbull the bar keep warned me that this would cost £30 before pouring anything. On producing the whip (everyone puts in £50) for the group to assure the barkeep I was surrounded by ladies for the rest of the evening. I played up my Jonny big bananas part and pretending to be a fireman helped too. 
Also they have a fething cross channel ferry parked up there as a 6 floor night club!
