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.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's NestIs the only film I've ever seen that was every bit as top quality as the book...
Jack Nicholson played McMurphy exactly as the character had been portrayed in the book.
And Nurse Ratchet? Can't remember the actress' name (I think she got an Oscar for that film) but, by Christ, she oozed every bit of menace - I wanted to slit her eyelids with a blunt, rusty razor blade in the film; just as I had with the book.
And you're spot on about Captain Corelli's Mandolin - the film was a travesty of the book!
