What is the best spam message you've ever received?
Do you have a favorite non-gaming Web site?
Where did you live in the United States?
So, I take it that you're probably not on Facebook or Myspace?
You know, I don't know any of my neighbors. I mean, I don't speak to them -- not because I'm antisocial, well I probably am antisocial, but it's just once I'm away from work, I'm quite happy to be by myself. I'm an only child, so I've always been used to that. I'm not in the social networking thing. I'm much happier to either pick up the phone and talk to someone or go see them. Is there an online trend that you'd like to see end?
No. I think the Internet mirrors a lot of things. It does a lot of things well, and it does a few things you can get irritated about. But in the end, I think it will normalize because that's the way society works. It can be a pain in the ass when you've got pop-ups and all that other stuff happening, but in the end, normalization pressure will just mean those things will go away. I don't see it as different from any other thing that we do. It's just because it's a bit newer, it will do things that irritate us, but in the end, they are not sustainable because people don't tolerate things they don't like. When's the last you gambled? And are you up or down?
I'm not a gambler per se, but if I go to the race track for horse racing, which is quite popular in Britain, then I will have a bet there. But if I'm honest and take my lifetime betting at horse tracks, despite the fact that I've had good days, I would say were I breaking even, I would have a smile on my face. But as a thrifty Scot, I certainly haven't lost a boatload either. Otherwise, I'd be a frowny Scot. Do you own any pets?
Is that your only?
What's your horse's name?
That’s all of my questions. Did you have anything you'd like to add or something that I've missed?
