Sometimes, chatting at an online bingo site can be very productive, especially when you happen to be a woman. It was recently reported that six female bingo fans, who share a growing apprehension towards the fast-approaching Football World Cup, allied to create the World Cup Widows Club, a new online website.

At their Internet site, the ladies offer their visitors tips as to how to avoid fights with their football-loving husbands and boyfriends during that difficult month, and provide anti-football activists with chat options. The site also displays links to activities, including bingo games expected to help wives and girlfriends feel less neglected. Although the site's founders are all Britons, the list of club members now reportedly includes individuals from all over the world – both men and women.
