No food for themselves let alone the canine members of the family?

The 33-year-old widow, who cannot be identified ...

Court order.

Just google it. It's in nearly every paper (in Britain)today.

Look. You can always feed your kids or the damn dogs, but you can't always get to level 75....

(I'm sure that attempt at a joke has dated me, since I'll bet "levels" don't exist anymore in video games, right?)

Oh dear. I wonder what kind of kneejerk anti-Net legislation this will provoke? The woman is purely blameless, of course. She fell under the spell of the evil Internet and those evil Computer Games. She had no choice or will of her own. I wonder what would happen if the court found out she also liked horror movies?

In fact, Kate, I've been so occupied with the RCMB, that... well, there was someone living with me, I seem to remember... but now there's a funny smell coming from the living room, where I think she fell down... let's see... what, is it September already?!...

I feel for people that are so weak willed that they get so addicted to computer games.
I know they can be a bit addictive, here the woman clearly needs counseling

Let's pass a law. Computer games must be less fun.
