How nerdy are you?
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.

Continuing the Shipping Forecast theme from down there
I read "Attention All Shipping", and was disappointed that it wasn't more about the forecast and less a diary of someone's travels through all the Shipping Forecast areas.
Yet I still think it's cool thing to do. But, if I did it, I'd do Trafalgar properly instead of visiting a London pub.
