When Keith at the office gives me World of Warcraft, bidding me to “spend a bit of time with it — it’s really addictiveâ€, 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.

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.
