Am I unkind to print this story off and keep it to comfort myself whenever I think I don't get out enough?

The actual article in The Times (the "second life" one I mean) had a photo of the real-life couple. Again I am being unkind but the bloke's real surname of Pollard is no less apt than his assumed one, which is Barmy.

Dear me.. those avatars are a bit of wishful thinking aren't they!

wonderstuff · 14/11/2008 15:02

Didn't realise the article was from July. Why were you looking at the times from july?

I wonder if it is totally made up. There is never any mention of the parents even suspecting anything. I would think as parents they would have at least had the thought that they were a little too close should have crossed their minds at least once. Even if they denied it, didn't they have any friends their age that would have thought something was a little off?
The article sounds like they were shut off from other human contact...even the four years older sister.
It would make me wonder every time I saw a family with the same background of four year older sister, brother a year older than younger sister etc. The comment that it reads like a porno is probably closer to the mark. It leaves a mental scar. Yuck. Thanks so much Balloonslayer...TMI. That is exactly what I needed to start my weekend off with (sarcasm emoticon). Leaving to go scrub my head out with a sterile wirebrush now.

wonderstuff, the comments are about your add on. Balloonslayer...I had to read the whole thread (batting head against the computer now). Thankful my disfunctional family and past marriages weren't THAT bad. Mind wipe please.

Incest link - reminds me of incident at school (Catholic);

Girl: "Sir, what's incest?"
My mate: "Its the stuff they burn at Church"
Teacher: "Would you mind repeating that MM"

BalloonSlayer · 14/11/2008 16:14

The one I found isn't from July. It's in The Times today. The incest on OTOH, is an old one.
