What's your favourite piece of technology?
My BlackBerry Curve — or, as my wife calls it, my "crapberry". Being stranded without your BlackBerry is like finding yourself naked in Trafalgar Square … we're a bunch of saddos.
How has it improved your life?
It's totally improved my life, and totally ruined it. I can work anywhere, but I can't get away from it either, so I have to switch it off or drown it in a bath to get away from it. I'm totally addicted to it, but at least I can go anywhere.
When was the last time you used it, and what for?
About two seconds ago, for checking emails.
What additional features would you add if you could?
A TV, a car or a motorbike! No, I think if it had any more gadgets I'd never put it down. Maybe it could be a bit smaller, but apart from that, nothing.
Do you think it will be obsolete in 10 years' time?
I'm absolutely sure it will. I'm vain about these things. I want the latest, sexiest thing, but then again I tend to fall in love with the way they work. So I don't want to learn a new way of learning how to operate it.
What one tip would you give to non-BlackBerry users?
Don't ever get one, it will ruin your life.
Do you consider yourself to be a luddite or a nerd?
I'd like to think I was a luddite, but I guess I'm a bit of a nerd. I started my nerdish qualities with my first computer, and would always be upstairs playing games on it.
What's the most expensive piece of technology you've ever owned?
A Sony Vaio laptop. Cost me about £2,500, I can't believe I spent that much on a computer.
Mac or PC?
I love the way Macs look, but I never really got into using a Mac. All my stuff is on PC, but I'm afraid of transferring it over. Macs have got design down to a tee; in comparison, PCs are really quite ugly.
What song is at the top of your iPod's top-25 most played?
Motorcade, by Magazine.
Will robots rule the world?
No, because Arnold Schwarzenegger is going to come back and kill them all.
What piece of technology would you most like to own?
I'd like the new Jaguar sports car, but I haven't got enough money yet.
