Big Marv Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 It appears that with these and other threads, we are building a FM census/demographic. But I honestly have wondered what other FM addicts have around them when they play, what is required in their FM world, so... Computer: Laptop/Desktop etc. Soundtrack: Silence/Crowd noise from the game/Radio (sports or music)/Sky Sports (live or news)/CD's/ipods etc. Snacks: Bag of potato chips/crisps, Big bowl of fruit, familysize bag of popcorn, dominos on speed-dial... Venue: Bedroom/Office/Spare Room/Lounge So for me: Computer: Work Lap-top (managed to install FM08 after assistance from friendly IT guy) Soundtrack: Various, but predominately music from either CD or ipod, skysports news or live footy in the background Snacks: If I'm on a FM binge, then it tends to be all your daily meals eaten while playing FM Venue: Spare room/office, although I have been utilising lounge more often, or hotel rooms if away on business Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snacks : Anything that's going really, but if I'm on a 12-hour-binge then I tend to use International matchdays to go make a sandwich or two, and stock up on munchies for the the next 2 hours or so. Venue : Bedroom mostly on weeknights but at weekends I tend to use living room. And I've never played with other people, but me and my mate spend at least half an hour (generally more like 2 hours) talking about it every day at school.
