Re: The Evil of Video Games

Politicians and the media are always having a go at videogames but the content of literature is often far more sick and disturbing than their digital counterparts.

Re: Who has non-Countdown-style hobbies?

Something I have been interested in taking up is learning to how play the piano (though with my short attention span, I don't think I would get far). I am a fan of classical music and have been interested in learning how to play pieces like Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and Mozart's Sonata in C Majo...

Re: Which football team do you support?

I've traditionally always followed Liverpool, but I don't care about any particular team enough to say I support them. I'm a Leeds Rhinos fan in rugby league, but even that is superseded by my support for almost any perceived underdog. Sport thrives on uncertainty, and it feels like there's less th...

Re: Which football team do you support?

Rangers F.C for me ( Glasgow not Queens Park!). It's been a turbulent time for Rangers fans over the past few years but things are beginning to look up a bit.

I'm slightly obsessed with raising bonsai trees even though I'm not very good at it.

Re: Favourite Songs In Games

Just about anything from Final Fantasy VII for me. I can play a little of Tifa's theme on the keyboard.

Re: Any fitness fanatics on here?

I spend six days a week at the gym, but most of it is strength training now since I hurt my ankle.
It's a shame because I could do with losing a stone.

Re: Asperger Syndrome

A useful PDF document can be found at http://www.aspergerfoundation.org.uk/infosheets/ta_girls.pdf Interesting read, it certainly challenged my perception of Asperger's as a mostly male thing, although statistically that is true. I've heard that females with Aspergers are more likely to go unnotice...
