Advantages: Good fun

Disadvantages: Threatens to engulf your very soul

You don’t know how much you need something until it’s gone. I found this in the hard way, for about two weeks my phone line was damaged and I couldn’t go online.

This would be fairly annoying for most people, but for us dooyooians it’s akin to somebody taking away your genitalia for a bit of a service.

I couldn’t check my points whenever I wanted, I had to rely on going round to my friends houses and begging them to let me use their computers. It was hell. For before The Incident I would log on at every possible moment, which led to bouts of inconsolable depression as nobody was reading my opinions. Which is a pity, because they were good (well, my mother says they’re good).

And the heartbreak when somebody gives you a not useful or a bad comment. It’s like somebody has ripped out your heart, urinated on it, set it on fire and given it to a fat, smelly dog to play with. I usually try and get revenge by marking all their opinions not useful and offending them in some and offending them in some bizarre and inexplicable way, like saying that if they were a dog they wouldn’t be allowed anyway near a fresco of a small, but nonetheless quite hideous horse.

Dooyoo forces you to become a bitter and cynical person. You have to look at stuff and pick out their bad points, like getting an axe and testing the durability of your garden furniture. Dooyoo, it seems, is not good for the soul.

But however bad it is for the soul, it is great. The money aspect is good, but bringing your opinions to a wider audience and actually have them respond is just brilliant. And it does have less a chance of being monopolized than Ciao, which means most people are on an equal setting. So I’ll continue getting up at two in the morning and sharing my experiences of clotheslines and obscure Bulgarian volleyball teams.
