This is a strange question for an online forum but how much is to much online living?
Most of us now do so many things online line it is unbelievable. We shop, we socialise, many people now work from home online. It seems that we live more and more of our lives though out computers. Now I'm as guilty as the next person at this, I don't send out party invites anymore I just put an event on facebook, but there are certain things I still won't do online. I won't buy fresh fruit and Veg in my shopping for one. I don't like the idea of someone Else telling me this is good enough for you. I like to get to the shop and pick it up and hold it and smell it.
But is seems to me that we are being pushed so much more online, booking driving tests is done online, paying your TV Licence can be done online and so much more. I think that if this continues that we just wont leave the house anymore except for going to the pub or on holiday and we will lose a lot of the social interaction that is slowly being eaten away but the World Wide Web.

An Early Morning rant
Good Morning and welcome to the first post on the Wood Splitters Blog. Now I'm English, and after what happened after yesterday I'm slightly pissed off.
How is it that 40,000 people in a stadium in South Africa can clearly see that a goal was scored yet the two people who matter can't. Now I'm not one who thinks there may be a bit of under the table dealing going on, but what is FIFA'S problem with bring tech into games to sort out critical points such as this. All you need is a bloke in a office with a mic to the ref and the coverage of the T.V. Most sports have it now a days, Tennis has the referral system, cricket has video refs for run outs and they are bringing in the referral system for other dismissals and even the NFL has it. FIFA needs to have a good hard look at it as there were two goals scored today that should not have been allowed, the Germany one and also Carlos Tevas's goal vs Mexico. But hey enough about that.
One a lighter note, I play cricket myself at the weekend and for the 1st time this season both the Saturday and Sundays sides one on the same weekend. The Saturday side did really well as we were all out of 57, I top scored with 20 and I came in at no 10, yet we managed to bowl them out for 53, what a game it was. On Sunday we batted first again and we posted 164 for 8, thanks to Danny and his 87 odd. We them managed to bowl them out for about 120, again thanks to Danny with his 2 for 5 off 10. It was the Sunday sides 1st win of the season. So an up and down weekend. if you want to come and visit us the link is
