    I must admit I've been tempted to do something which isn't actually illegal but would lose me quite a lot of friends, prevent me from partaking in my hobbies any more and ruin my good name (:p ) in cyberspace...

    But I couldn't go through with it for the above reasons... the annoying thing is that there are plenty of people who do it and make good money out of it, I guess I have too many morals!

    I'm the sort of the person who would probably get caught sticking my tongue out at a policeman so I wouldn't dare do anything else. Who says crime doesn't pay though? The parents of a a child in my son's class haven't done an honest days work in their life but they have three brand new cars, numourous holidays a year, all the latest gear. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Jealous? Probably not, at least I can sleep easy.
