Potential partners The first three on this list are surprisingly insightful, Zoe. Motorists and wolf-whistlers though don't even figure on the list, for most of us anyway. I am surprised that you are surprised. [Why do you think I put them some way down a list I specified was incomplete? And no comment on the position of existing partners - presumably too obviously true, yet uncomfortably embarrassing, to be worthy of response.]

Becabecca wrote: But it's interesting how even small things can have an effect on how other percieve us. Are you talking from the male point of view now? I speak as one whose thing is not at all small, and that makes a difference too. [Or are you referring to letter order, which may appear trivial, but can have a massive impact on those who care.]

Is a difference that makes no difference a difference?

Ive noticed height and hair color have a thing to say here even if all else remain the same.. That also makes me think. For those of you that have/have had longer romantic relationships in SL, is it easier to keep the feelings strong if that other person doesn't change their avi a lot (except changes that could easily be done in RL, like clothes)? I love to play around with different looks and hairs. So all sorts of thoughts come up in relation to that, for example when you feel you need extra big puppy eyes to make your partner forgive you for something, then having bigger eyes for your avi would be good? hehe And would the strong feelings you have for someone be lessened if that someone made a less physically appealing avi? Yes, I know sl is sl and only pixels, but still.. our brains probably react to it anyway. A briefly look at the marketplace, shows how important the look of our avatars obviously is. Apparel: 1615736 Accessories: 396112 Avatar appearance: 29115 Avatar components: 220590 Complete avatars: 35065 Of course our look affects the way we are treated, whether we like it or not...A lot of people do actually make a living, by speculating in advertising and developing stuff to sell you, regarding to this fact. The signals you want to send out, and the signals other people seem to receive from you, are not always the same though, unfortunally. Here is a partial list of people that women try to make themselves attractive - in rl and sl - for: 1. Other women 2. Themselves 3. Potential partners . . 23. Wolf-whistling builders . . 47. Passing motorists . . 99. Their partners

Blokes don't care what their female partners look like in SL; it's their actions that matter.

Just to say, there is absolutely no chance of Australia winning, so it is all moot.

I laughed, but I wonder if your humor translates across the pond. It does. Everybody marginally literate over the age of 40 this side of the Atlantic has read Mickey Spillane, Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, to name but a few whose anti-heroes espoused a copious interest in cheap booze.

Well, since democracy is a political system in which just over half the pliable stupid adults in the population (about 30% of potential voters) are convinced by lies, more lies and statistics to vote for, and give unlimited executive power to, a ham actor puppet manipulated by major financial forces, then the inhabitants of SL V2 can expect to have imposed upon them a landscape of magnificent boredom typical of that epitome of the democratic socialist state, Sweden. The control that inhabitants will have will be how many virtual kilometres of nothingness will span the distance to the next region of nothingness. Have you seen Wallander? There were more real life suicides among the cast than fictitious murders to be grudgingly solved. Are you surprised that Ebbe left, but is now homesick for the almost-void?

My mother (whose maiden name is Ann O'Dyne) would be delighted to hear you say that. Unfortunately, Pep's treatment of her caused her to run away with a penniless foreign animal-lover whose grasp of English and geography was tenuous; she occasionally sends me postcards (lacking postage stamps) with various furry animals pictured, inscribed with messages which I am unable to decipher, from places that do not seem to appear on any atlas.

This is interesting. Did Ebbe ever consider Void's situation?

He annoyed me the other weekend, though, when he referred to Dana International as 'he'. There's a small but non-zero chance you might mean the other Sir Terry, in which case I'd like him back too. And compliments on the non sequitur. I thought Dana International was an airline. I am sure I flew on it once or twice in my youth. PS Nice Lulu reference!

Thanks for the heads up; anywhere but Bermuda. You wouldn't return to Scotland? Ah, that's right, it's not a separate country.

It's not dead, it's sleeping. [Cue either a parrot sketch or a fairytale reference.]

You should start a Twitter account called Boss Linden, or Jumpy Linden, or Turniphead Linden and make pronouncements and start rumours. Most of the gullible SL users believe anything they see from someone called Linden, even if it's on a completely different platform over which LL has no control.

. . . would you emigrate to if they kicked you permanently out of the one in which you currently reside, and you could go anywhere? I'd move to Bermuda.
