go out drinking with people in the Games industry. As well as talking shop for 87% of the time and smoking the other 13% as the only woman there you will invariably be asked:
“Have you any single mates?”
“Do you know any gamer-friendly women?”
“Are you single?”
Yes, maybe and no.
I do love them all really, well some of them.
Last night a graduate designer told me that there was definitely no sex in London. Not a scrap – it’s is all in Yorkshire.

Ey oop lass. Ah’m reet jiggy, me. Eeeh. Champion. Etc.

Ah that would explain his shape dear Brother.
Oh my God it’s true Snags! But if someone sweet nothinged that in my ear I’d probably laugh… or wallop them. I’m sad for us Londoners though.

Hahaha! Oh my goodness – the memories you have just brought back! (I used to go out with a game designer…)

They have not changed Katja, not one bit.

Sex is in Yorkshire? Where?!
And on an unrelated topic; how was the evening with Adam Hart-Davis?! I’ve been desperate to know!

Apparently South Yorkshire, can’t remember where he said he was from (somewhere beginning with an E) but between Sheffield, Rotherham and the coast? My Yorkshire geography is obviously crap!
A H-D was really good. He spoke about bike wheels, sterling engines (he had a demo of one powered by a cup of tea) and flushing loos. Good old fashioned edutainment.

I’m not even sure what is between Rotherham and Sheffield that begins with E. Near the coast? I’m confused now. Did he mean somewhere like Ecclesall? Hmm…
Glad A H-D was good! Sounds very interesting…

Sex in South Yorkshire! I never saw much when I was there, dammit! But come to think of it, I ain’t seeing much in London either…. tell me oh bobblyone, are these games designers tolerant of rugby-loving ladies? As long as they stay home and play with themselves (or their latest game) while I go a-lusting after my rugger bois, it sounds like a perfik match! LOL.

Could be RMG, could be. However they are mostly oiky youf who wouldn’t know what to do with a real woman, sadly.
But hey the Yorkshire born bloke though I was his age (25) so hanging out with them does have its perks ;o)
