I had an argument
In a pub in Dundee (Deacon's if anyone wants to know) with a random who thought I was sad because I liked to play computer games. I asked him if he watched football. He said of course he fucking did, as he was not a nerd like myself. I asked him to name some players from whatever team it was he supported, he gave me about 20 names of current and former players, unasked he then gave me goal statistics and such (falling into my trap ya see) AH HAH! Says I, now who's the nerd? What do you mean, says he, this is football! No, actually, its a bunch of names and statistics. And everyone knows, memorising lists and statistics is REALLY the domain of the socially inept/bored off their backsides.
