Quote of the day
“We were just chatting and hanging out together. It was nothing really major. I don’t think I was really doing anything wrong.”
- David Pollard, 40, who is clearly bemused at being divorced by his wife after she caught him chatting affectionately to another woman in ’Second Life’ (an online virtual world in which players can move around, meet people, socialise, and buy land and property and set up businesses with the game’s virtual currency)

I’ll be very surprised if this turns out to have been his only offence…
Well, now that you mention it, the article on today’s papers does point out that this wife (who also uses Second Life) once caught him watching prostitutes inside the virtual world….
Well, at least it actually was a woman on Second Life, as opposed to some chubby American roleplaying a woman…
You say that, but I think a real-life marriage being broken up by some fat American teenager sitting in his parent’s bedroom masquerading as a woman would be highly amusing.
Goodness I am often chatting (although not affectionately) in Second Life to people of both sexes. I hope after 47 years I am not next to be divorced. I suspect JuliaM might be right.
