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

      I am keeping my fingers crossed the next few days are not so loud. I honestly think it is the private, back garden displays that are most problematic as, in general, there is no way of knowing when and where they might happen. For those letting off a few bangers in the garden I get it is tempting to think what's the harm in a few minutes of 'fun', but it is the absolute randomness of sudden bangs that can do irreparable damage to people and animals. With organised events that are well advertised there is some forewarning at least, and the hope is that organisers of such events can be persuaded to adopt and make a virtue of using only low noise displays in future.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.

      They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
