The answer is a straight no as adultery is clearly defined in law and it is not possible to do that on line as far as I know!

In this BBC programme as well as discussing the situation in the Gaza right now has an interesting feature (during the second half of the programme) on the subject of whether it's possible to commit adultery on 2nd Life. Remember a few weeks back a 2nd lifer was divorced for meeting someone up on 2nL.

Take a look through and you will meet up with...

Christmas 2008

It's that time of year again when itinerant panhandlers (carol singers) make their annual pilgrimage to my front door appear on my door-step attempting to sing a few strangled verses of some long forgotten carol before being sent away with a flea in their ear and a recommendation for a few singing lessons by yours truly.

The year before last as I reported in my last Christmas message some group of lads came around and made a vague attempt at Silent Night....

Musings on sustainability - why being seen to be green is not enough

The terms ‘sustainability’ and ‘sustainable development’ are increasingly becoming part of our everyday language as well as coming to the fore of political thinking as politicians parade their green credentials. We think we understand what these terms mean but in order to take correct actions and to weigh others judgments these terms could do with an element of definition. The danger of not having a clear view of...

OK, itis cold outside, so cosy is a consideration, but does this justify the footwear phenomenon that, like early adopter Sienna Miller, simply won't go away? ffice
I'm talking Ugg boots, those Aussie clodhoppers that are capable of turning any woman under 5ft 10in into an Oompa Loompa and the shapeliest pins into the back end of a pantomime horse.

I am a fan of failure; this might sound like an odd statement, after all failure is universally hated and feared, the mere thought of it is often enough to stop people in their tracks. This is hardly surprising, as children we are taught that failing is a bad thing that will bring recriminations and shame. Then when we leave school and start “climbing the ladder of success” it seems that the only place to be is the top and to get there we have to be perfect.

But do we? A friend...

This week I want to tell you some problems that the players common meet.
First ,let’s talk about what is a fixed price.
Answer: the players pay the whole sum leveling price in advance. For example, you buy the Warhammer power leveling, you paid the money for it. You can choose abolished this order when the commodity in the issue condition. And the money paid back to your account, but you could notice, different website have different provision.

This was a good interview with Simon Heffer - pretty much on target with his views on the useless tory party.

Consulting is generally regarded as a growing profession even in this credit crunch period. For well seasoned consultants, the main reasons are obvious.

Firstly, many companies now realise that they have fallen behind in being competitive (world class) and desperately want to catch up. But do they know how? More specifically, can they do it the LEAN way (i.e. minimal investment for max returns)?

Many very experienced managers (including senior ones) might try their luck...

World Toilet Day Celebrations in Chipping Norton

As we all know last week (the 19th November) saw the celebration of world toilet day - I know 'what another crap day' - well yes actually. As we know a visit to the bathroom is a regular ritual for all of us and a person will go to the toilet about 6 to 7 times a day and with all that flushing that takes place will use around 30% of the 60 gallons of water used by an average person in the UK daily. It is something we all take for granted...

'Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action.' Benjamin Disraeli.

I have developed 7 steps to enable you first to determine whether you are in crisis at work and then to give you a kick-start to taking the actions necessary to change the situation.

I was reading through the Telegraph today and a sad picture caught my eye that of a memorial to 'baby-P'. What struck me was that even in death he has no identity - even this has been taken away in the cause of correctness. On the card with the flowers his name shown as 'Baby P'. Brutally killed, failed by society, ashes scattered in a paupers funeral apparently anonymous.

I do not want vigilantes either even those who did this should have due process but at least there could be...
