Can you watch TV? Well, you can’t because it’s unwatchable. You could go to the pictures, but there’s nothing decent on. You could read a book, but I’ve read them all. There’s no other choice but game.

I played last night. It looked like I was going to win but I didn’t notice that the enemy had taken all four relics. I had all the deposits of gold. I had all the castles. I had developed a new city centre. And all of a sudden the computer told me I’d lost. And I shrieked with pain, banged on the desk and shouted: "I am cured! I am cured!" And today? I feel like playing again. I’d like to get down to it again because now I know I’ve got to keep an eye on them relics…

See, it’s easier to play than not to play.
