Andy Taylor of Ramboll Whitbybird owns up to his sports site habit, but claims that鈥檚 not the only reason his laptop is always by his side

What is your favourite website/the site you couldn鈥檛 live without?

The BBC site news.bbc.co.uk/sport is the one I visit most, to keep up with scores around the world. It鈥檚 not always possible to catch the news, so it is invaluable for staying in touch with the sports I鈥檓 interested in.

What is your favourite gadget?

It鈥檚 a tough call between my laptop and my iPod. The laptop is never far from my side, so that I can provide solutions to any queries from projects around the world as soon as possible (the Blackberry just isn鈥檛 flexible enough). But the iPod is never far away either.

What鈥檚 the most useful website you access for work?

A tough one. I use so many websites for market research, product research, legislation, etc, that I don鈥檛 think I could single out one. In reality, it鈥檚 probably our intranet.

What was the last track you downloaded?

I maintain that 鈥淏roken, Beaten and Scarred鈥 by Metallica, which I downloaded for Guitar Hero on the Wii, was for my son. The title is not a reflection of how we engineers feel in the industry at the moment.

What was the subject of the last email you received?

Ramboll brand manual.

Social networking or face-to-face?

Face-to-face 鈥 the virtual life can be taken too far, and your 鈥淔riend鈥 can鈥檛 buy you a Drink.

Who is your favourite blogger?

I have dipped into a few but there aren鈥檛 any I find necessary to review on a regular basis.

What鈥檚 the best link/video/viral you鈥檝e been sent?

The Darwin Awards email that circulates regularly never ceases to amaze me.

The last thing you bought online?

A bicycle. It makes a nice ornament in the kitchen in the current climate.

What was the funniest piece of spam you have received?

I鈥檓 sure it鈥檚 too offensive to repeat.
