He is also the hardest working member of the IT department and by rights should be running the department. He is, however, also shy and child like to the point of being barely functional in the adult world. His favourite restaurant is a place called Messy Joe's, where a clown comes to your table to take your order, and after work on pay day he can generally be found "blowing his money" at an arcade. Swings And Roundabouts is inspired by Moss's attempt to comfort the widow of Denholm Reyhnolm.
