TheKiwi thinks that the internet has two purposes only:

a) Filling forums with (generally) misguided waffle

b) Ordering the occasional book from Amazon (Tom Clancy, or similar, I expect)


And judging by his previous.. (and totally bizarre).. "stay away from MySpace.. it's full of paedophiles" outburst, it's no wonder something like secondlife wouldn't appeal. Perhaps it, too, is FULL OF PAEDOPHILES.

I have had a quick look at the demo, in the same way that I decided to go to the millennium dome in order to be able to slag that off too.

It's desperately dull with some of the clunkiest graphics and interface I've ever seen. I've briefly *ahem* been sucked into the likes of eve and world of warcraft, and whereas I understand that these too are desperately geeky, there is at least some sort of purpose, and and enjoyment in them.


Why would anyone 'play' second life. If you want to set up a shop then do it down your high st, you might actually make some money, and your customers won't be strange avatars from the wrong side of the uncanny valley

Thanks for all this "constructive" comments, my original question is " has anyone any experience on secondlife" ? I NEVER said I played, my interest is sparked by the fact that someone has made serious money on it and large companies are moving in buying lands to advertise their products... I am not intersted in playing secondlife as I am too busy with my first and ONLY life... to me secondlife could be a potential source of money... That is why I am still interested in "being illuminated" by a secondlife expert.....

Thanks again

      And from what I remember, she eventually cut the tea shop for a similar  reason to chandelier.  Chariot style buggies

      Oh yes, it could have been about there, I can't remember exactly. At one point there seemed to be a load of pizza places opening on NCR. I vaguely remember the one we used to use was put out of business by another one which opened. Wasn't Grace and Favour's food offering more of a tea shop at the back of the actual shop? If memory serves the owner, whose name escapes me now, was one of the earliest people I know to move to Hastings. Which must now be crammed with South East Londoners 🤣

      The Mansion Tax

      By James Barber · Posted

      Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, You won't be aware that i proposed infill sites for housing in East Dulwich - the garages on Bassano Street and Henslowe that respectively became 1-4 Dill Terrace family houses and the 78, 80, 80A Henslowe Street family houses. These were council owned garages and it was frustrating how slow the council was to go from my idea to completion (roughly eight years). East Dulwich has some other vacant WW2 bomb sites I'm guessing that the private land owners have been sitting on.Owe for a land tax for vacant land.  WRT to the builders yard by East dulwich station. Southwark Council has an agreed policy the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum. But the approved scheme is 9 storeys of student accommodation. Very hard to put this genie back in the bottle. The council has recently publicly stated lower ratios of social housing will be required. I will be amazed if the developer doesn't submit another application now they have the 9 storeys approved but with significantly less social housing. The less social housing the higher the land values. The higher the land values the less social housing viability reports state are possible.  If we really want to increase home supply - Southwark have over 6,000 empty homes. Vancouver charges a low % of the value of empty homes and rapidly eased this problem. Parts of Wales have introduced under Article 4 planning permission is required for second homes seeing within 12 months a dramatic decrease in property prices. Southwark Council have Article 4 requirements - why not add this one? It takes National political will to solve this AND regional and local authorities such as the second home council tax premium and these being used promptly.
