When Keith at the office gives me World of Warcraft, bidding me to “spend a bit of time with it — it’s really addictive”, I do that special thing that women can do whereby you roll your eyes inside your head, secretly, to show that you know more than the men. Yeah, right, I’m going to get addicted to World of Warcraft. Yeah, right, I’m going to join a worldwide online community of more than eight million people, running around a gigantic and complex fantasy world, engaged on a series of quests. It’s all highly unlikely. If I had to marry one of the cast of The Lord of the Rings, it would be Sam Gamgee — the completely prosaic, normal, nonmagic one, who comes across like the owner of a garage in Cricklewood having a particularly bad day, what with this vexatious epic quest and all.
In a nutshell: dragons embarrass me.
