It's amazing what difference a day can make.. This morning I woke up in a country, that according to a survey, couldn't even program a video recorder (you do remember video recorders don't you?)

According to the survey which has something to do with paypal,

Over 50\% of those surveyed thought that they could turn their back on technology because tech terms and new innovations baffle them.

and one in three of those surveyed still have trouble setting the video recorder, while 77\% feel that they don't know how to set a DVR.

Seemingly oblivious to the outside world, he considers himself very talented and attractive. He tends to be more sociable than Mark, but sometimes he can be quite malicious and hurtful when he wants to be, saying Mark does "posh spazzy things" and makes references and jeers to his "Weird nuts."
