'Doc' Shiels was born in Salford, which I believe is near your part of town,

Yes,
it's a five-minute train journey away - I attended the
UKCBR4 workshop there in September 1999 (case-based
reasoning being a research interest of mine).

I suppose the best JSW rooms are those that can be

described as 'ingenious', so that's what I'm
usually trying to achieve.

Yes - I like the way
you can get trapped between tables in "The Red Lion
Pub" and have to sacrifice a life, and that "Funny
Tunnels in the Sand" room is a classic. I especially like
the "Aquatic Lair of the Morgawr" diptych,
too.

I like quirky features but believe that I'd have

to use them extensively rather than

sparsely.

You really missed a trick in "The Far Bank of the
Loch" - that overhead wall block is just screaming out
to have an item on top of it so you can jump through
and collect it! ;-)
