The Internet Police......

#1 Post by DavShill » Fri Oct 07, 2011 3:48 pm

.................. at work have blocked the site. Spoil sports. I was always surprised it slipped through anyway as they are really strict. Anyway they've caught up with me now so I'll have to stay on line more at home.

There are ways around it, but if the company has blocked it you'll probably get the sack. If you want to dice with dismissal, I'll PM you the details. :smt002
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

Tsk, never understood people surfing the net when they should be working!

I didn't have Internet access at my last job (ok 15 years ago ), but I didn't expect it! Isn't it still a case of work is work and play is play ? God help you if I was your boss :smt003 :smt003 :smt003 :smt053

A lot of firms encourage a certain amount of responsible access as people are effectively sel training on pc"s and if they are banking chatting etc they are not taking time off to do it. We allow access as people are trusted well everyone except me and I am part of the Internet police at my place which is weird
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

There ain't no internet access from my van. And it's tricky surfing the web and driving at the same time. You make so many typo's it just not worth it. :smt003
I'm right 98% of the time so why worry about the other 3%?

Our firm doesn't use interweb filtering of any kind. They use the cheaper method of only having really crap old pcs and a piece of string for a connection.
