"SR Questionnare 2003"

In the age old tradition of Women's magazines trying to find out if you're menopausal so they can show the results to prospective advertisers for next month's issue, and in that weekly tradition of Sunday Supplements trying to fill column inches, the following questionnaire has been devised by my scientific expert on all things gaming (My cat).

It's comprehensive, covering every facet of gaming psychology, sociology, general knowledge and drinking habits; and after extensive testing on a large proportion of the general population (My Dachshund) the results have proved to be conclusive.

Take your time, your answers will be analysed and posted next week for all to laugh at.
