dewolfe believes... That people who can't distinguish life from a video game need to get out more and live in the real world.

A woman in Cornwall is divorcing her real life husband because she caught his avatar video character cheating on her avatar video character in a virtual life computer game. She went on to say how angry and devastated she was when she found out what was going on, feeling betrayed and let down. What a bunch of Muppets!

David insists... The British are obsessed with traffic cones. We seem incapable of having a stretch of motorway without randomly sectioning off a lane or two with cones for no apparent reason and for years on end.

I've just driven through Holland, France and Belgium and not a cone in sight! I can only imagine that the head of the transport department has a massive share in the "Cones R Us" company.

King Henry thinks... Catering for dinner parties is getting more problematic. So many people seem to have a dislike or intolerance or allergy of a different food type. Impossible.

Jeep knows... A lot of people would rather go on television and humiliate themselves rather than not be on tv at all.

You only have to watch your average reality tv show to see it but there are some that really get personal and show people in a poor light and yet, still, they find people willing to be part of the programme. Just strange.

David states... That in an effort to avoid binge drinking, alcohol prices should NOT increase. They should look at other methods. I don't see why the masses should be punished for the few.

PrettyPolly believes... It is insane that a woman getting divorced has been awarded £50,000 a year maintenance for her horses.

I feel sorry for her husband. He works full-time in the city, she works part-time, they have no kids. They had been married for 11 years. She's spent her time riding her 3 horses and participating in eventing (more fun than work - her husband would probably have liked a life like that!. Oh yes, she did also look after his one horse. And now he has to pay £50,000 a year maintenance for her 3 horses. She should start living in the real world, get a full-time job, and only keep on the horses she can afford.

David reckons... If you could take three days off per week, Wednesday would be the additional day to take.

Choose Monday and Tuesday becomes the effective Monday. It'd be nice to have a three day weekend but I reckon that having Wednesdays off, so you never worked more than 2 days in a row, would lead to a much more relaxed life.

dewolfe believes... That cyclists should be forced to obey the same traffic laws as other motorists.

So often I see them running red lights, swerving on and of the road, onto pavements and back onto the road. In fairness to cyclists, they should be provided with more cycle lanes but if they're on the road, they should have to abide by the laws of the road. They should have license plates, correct head gear and more importantly, well maintained bicycles with working lights.
