Ironic last orders for Lifebyte.net

Those of you who keep abreast of the woes of the dot-com world may have noted the demise of youth portal Lifebyte.net, reported elsewhere in these pages (MW February 1).

The Diary was invited to Lifebyte’s wake, at Deux Beers in Farringdon, and few people could believe their eyes when in walked actress Claudia Harrison, out for a quiet drink with friends.

Harrison plays dot-com founder Lucy Fisher in BBC drama Attachments – which centres on the trials and tribulations at lifestyle site SeeThru.co.uk.

Harrison was gobsmacked when the irony of the situation was explained to her. It seems life really does imitate art.
