How can anyone follow that last blog

From todays UK Guardian ......

Apparently there are certain tell-tale signs you should look out for if you suspect your husband of getting back in touch with his first ever girlfriend; increased time spent on the internet, furtive texting on his mobile phone, having a huge love-bite on his neck and "Gary 4 Shazza 4 Ever" scratched into his forearm with a fountain pen. This week the divorce rate reached its highest level in seven years and part of the blame was laid at the door of internet sites such as Friends Reunited.

It's been one of the unforeseen byproducts of the internet revolution that people can easily contact old flames instead of using computers for their intended purpose, which is stealing music and downloading hardcore pornography. The problem is getting so bad that in a few years' time they'll launch a new site called Divorcees Reunited, where all the people who left their partners for their childhood sweethearts can find out what their ex-spouse has been up to since the big split.
