This week Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, died. A whole generation of pasty dice-obsessed nerds owes him big time. Me included.
So, in his honour, how nerdy were you? Are you still sunlight-averse? What are the sad little things you do that nobody else understands?
As an example, a B3ta regular who shall remain nameless told us, "I spent an entire school summer holiday getting my BBC Model B computer to produce filthy stories from an extensive database of names, nouns, adjectives, stock phrases and deviant sexual practices. It revolutionised the porn magazine dirty letter writing industry for ever.
Revel in your own nerdiness.

That film annoyed me too. It started when Arthur's boys turned out to be using stirrups a few centuries too early and escalated when a Saxon army with crossbows started swanning about north of Hadrian's Wall.
And on the subject of Horizon et al...Yes I know you have to make science accessable to the plebs but do you have to keep repeating the same bit of info three or four times? I got it the first time, thanks. Argh.
