Not strictly a product, per sé...
 

Having trouble telling the time? I know I did, that was until someone came up with this little beauty! :D

Only £4.99! (Plus packing and postage of £100,000.01)

Big Ben sold separately.*



*The structure itself is called (as far as I know) St Stephen's Tower. The Bell that chimes the hours is called Big Ben. :)

"Now All The Time Is Downs Time"

:D

But how would all the civil servants get to their meetings on time? The Downs will bring the country to its very knees! ....meh!.....

All the taste, twice the carbs. :D

And Like a Wight, the thread is raised from the Dead!
 

I think someone suggested Barrow Downs Chess earlier. So I took it upon myself to design the pieces and board...
Well, it may not be perfect, but its a start.

Hmmm, Hookbill, I can only comment on that with Tolkien's words, spoken by a certain ruling Elf:

I didn't realize that my sinister side was showing!

Well done, and funny!


(psst - one of the Fordim figures is obviously meant to be Formendacil...)

Does this mean one Hookbill is exchangable for a Lalwende?

Can you play it like Wizard Chess in Harry Potter? :eek:

I like how Fordim is the Black Knight, I'll have Deep Purple riffs going through my head now when I think of him. :D

... Hmm
 

I never thought of it like that.
My main thought was "Well, I should be the least important piece." :p

I was thinking of adding Hills and Barrows to the board itself, but it was getting late and I... well... couldn't be bothered.

Oh, and the White Team should probably be the Wight Team.

Makin' a move
 

Sauce as the bishop though? Hmmm. I've never really envisioned him in Bishop's vestments but I guess it is true that loyers tend to cut angles rather than move in straight directions. :p :D

Great call on Lal and Esty though! I might have been tempted to name a few other Downers as the Queens but the gentlemen in question might not have approved. ;)

He'd probably be like this:

Note: Saucepan also available as part of the Barrow Downs' hat collection.

That 'plot' he's holding? Is he about to lose it? :D

*hopes Bethberry will spill the beans* ;)

I was originally going to put "Werewolf plot" but I didn't think that was funny enough, so I left it as simply "Plot" so you can fill in the gaps yourself. ;)

Anyway, this Barrow Downs Chess may be subject for a thread in itself! :eek:

Oh, and...

For all your DEATH metal and grave music and... well, I ran out of puns... but here is a format to play all your Barrow Music on.

Oh now Lal. All the fun's in how you imagine it. :D

How could you have possibly known how badly I've always wanted to be a black knight?

"Come back here! I'll bite both your legs off!"

I'm a chess piece! :D

It was inevitable.

Now all we need is the rest of the Mount Zoom Challengers and you can race them!

Ever wonder what your dreams had to say about your personality? Look no further than
Doctor Dream's Guide to the Subconscious, by littlemanpoet. As a special bonus, a chapter on Barrow-Downs dreams, complete with dreams and interpretations from this thread is included in an appendix to the text.

Available for $19.95 at your local Barrrow Bookshop.

Mums across the world will soon be hopping mad and saying "Put that thing away! I don't want to have to clean up all that lava off my nice clean floor!"

:D

Well, it's better than it being powered by... erm... nuclear waste. Or something. :p

I dunno, lava might clean the floor pretty well, except the poor Mum would have to replace several sections of the floor. ;)

Bump!
 

I was just wondering how we're suposed to pay for this stuff without a Barrow Card... then, it struck me! Monies!

Oh, and I'm sure the Saucepan man (or someone) posted about keeping your clothes as Wight as they can be. Well, now you can do the same for your teeth!

:D

Those are some sweet looking coins- and I don't say that just because I'm on one of them. :p

But I must ask... what's the other side look like? Do we get the professor's profile in all it's crownéd glory? :D

Bump!
 

I know Barrow Downs T-Shirts already exist... But I've not seen them for a while. Also, I wanted to try my hand at designing one or two...

Soon to be available from all good clothes shops and some rubbish ones as well.

Cool t-shirts! And t-shirts are quite cheap to have printed up, you know, if you wanted to get yourself a unique design. ;)

Esty turned her Barrow Downs t-shirt into a bag and brought it to Birmingham last year, making sure lots of people saw it! I wonder if she has a picture???

I may just do that. :)

Also: have you ever been reading a book and suddenly lost your place? Terrible times! Fed up with using bits of paper and third-rate bookmarks? Look no further than:

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...owBookmark.jpg

One should not cross read threads. I caught Rune's post about bookmarks on the addicted thread and this one here, put them together, and thought Rune had made such bookmarks for all his friends! I was going to be so impressed.

Maybe I should start doing that . . .I would hate to disapoint Kath.

I once was a bookmark you know

Ooh yes please Rune! You can make me one as a christmas present. :D

Random Titles go klepto
 

A nice upgrade, for those who are peculiar enough to have things in common with me: tassely-thingies made out of mithril. They'll come in handy when readers are so entranced by what they're reading that they'll unravel the tassel with their fingers. Then again, perhaps extra tassels with instructions are better. (Lawsuits for mithril-tassel related injuries could result in those annoying warning labels. "WARNING: Will cause more than bruises when in the hands of a content Downer."

Just thought I'd resurect this topic a tad.

With the increasing lack of interest in The Phantom and Alien serise, the producers thought that, in order to stur up interest again, that some Phantom and Alien costumes were in order. So, here they are:

HB, I just woke up when you took that pic. I told you not to use it.

And as far as Alien- the least you could've done is edit out the face of that half-digested child Alien had swallowed.

Got a headache?

It's Mandos approved.

That has a sinister linguistic closeness to Quietil, the euthanasia/suicide drug as seen in Children Of Men... :eek:

This is probably one of the few BD-Products I don't feel needs to be produced, but it sertainly does have intertainment value.

Ugh, I'm in the market for some of that now. My head's inflated with a cold and I'm afraid I'll float up past the pelóri... :p

Celebrity endorsement is the only way to go these days...

Buy it now at all good shops and some rubbish ones as well.

What do you consider a rubbish shop?:eek:
I was telling my mom about the Remote control operated Mt. Zoom the other day, and my brother pipes up and says "Oooh I want one!!!!!!!"

I think we should have a Barrowdown food court... what would they serve I wonder?:D

Thought I'd bump this thread
 

We can't be at the computer all the time. So, in order to make sure you never stop thinking about, interacting with and generally being a slave to the Barrow downs, here is the BarrowPhone 5790X9...

It really is as portable as it looks.

Is it made by Amstrad? :D

Really? Because that is almost bigger than my backpack! I would love that, but my lap top is smaller than that, well it's not exactly my lap top, it's really the family computer.
