They'd blocked .net for years, and picked up on .org a couple of weeks ago

They block Facebook too and everything else slightly fun, even though we're not fucking employees and are technically paying them a "service charge".

We must send money & food to Velvet, he's obviously having probs with the leccy bill

That's an utter pisser. I'd be tempted to get a wireless dongle and do your own thang!

Inertiaman · 12-Jul-2012, 22:40

Have they blocked rdp to your pc at home?

Bilb · 12-Jul-2012, 22:54

Or a nice SSH tunnel

Our IT folk employ the same policy. But the web is wide open unless the word "gay" appears in the title of a site... it would seem. Given that we as an institution are Stonewall champions, I suspect this policy is somewhat shortsighted.

Nomad · 13-Jul-2012, 11:40

knowing that at least shows you attempt diverse web browsing during your day

Q-Target · 13-Jul-2012, 11:48

Well, not really. I just happened to mention www.yourallgay.com the other day and when I clicked to check it still exists I got firewall cockblocked.

Nomad · 13-Jul-2012, 11:57

did you check 'you're' first, may have been a firewall grammar nazi?

Bilb · 13-Jul-2012, 12:04

Rant'o'day:

Ordered and specced an efficient car through company car plan. It specifically says that it has "low rolling resistance, energy saving tyres".

I needed new tyres, so have to go via Kwik Fit, who inform me that they'll fit whatever is best value for money for the leasing company! TWATS!

Nomad · 13-Jul-2012, 12:06

tell them that's not what you leased, take a small shrub to hug

The Big Kahuna · 13-Jul-2012, 12:10

So the boss drives around in his Porsche/Bentley/Merc/whatever with WanKing Cross Ply tyres does he ?

Tell the accountant that this policy will cost the company more in fuel over the life of the car than the extra cost of the correct tyres. See how quickly the leasing company get fucked up the arse.

Bilb · 13-Jul-2012, 12:23

it's all done through Lex leasing. So we use them for our lease management. They buy tyres based on what is the best bulk offer at the time.

They'd best be decent ones or I feel a whinge coming on!

qui · 13-Jul-2012, 12:54

This should probably be in the 'feeling sorry for myself' thread but in a week, not only will I be a house husband looking after my 6 month old baby girl while the missus returns to work while attempting to start up my own business (that's the good part and should be in the praise thread), I've also got to look after my Father who has terminal pancreatic cancer (that's also spread to his liver/spine and chest) as he's been kicked out of his house by his partner of 6 years because she can't deal with the situation.

Yeah, thanks for that.

Nomad · 13-Jul-2012, 13:04

sorry to read that, best of luck with a shit situation, his grand-daughter being there and knowing you care will hopefully help your dad through the bad time

Fuck, that's a grim one. My old man copped it due to bowel cancer, as you might know. Not a great thing to go through. At all. I can seriously sympathise m8

qui · 13-Jul-2012, 13:06

It would, if it wasn't for the fact he's suffering from dementia at the moment too.

Mazzahoo · 13-Jul-2012, 14:03

This might sound really hard, but are you really capable of doing it, dementia on its own it tough to deal with but with all the rest fella, are you taking on too much? With that little girl to look after the last thing you want to do it knacker yourself up. Isn't there any social care that could be used? even if its just respite care atleast thats something.

[n00b]Zippy · 13-Jul-2012, 14:14

Sorry to hear that, qui. I reckon Mazz is right, though.

Bilb · 13-Jul-2012, 14:33

Shit ... that's terrible.

Agree with Mazz, that you should at least be able to get a nurse/carer to pop in and help out.

Q-Target · 13-Jul-2012, 14:38

That and your not wholly reliable ticker = recipe for disaster.

stepper · 14-Jul-2012, 16:18

Fucking dog has just chewed through the boxes of two new Xbox games. Hope he shits for a week.

No doubt I'll be ranting when he shits on the floor later.

Ashen · 14-Jul-2012, 16:32

meanwhile someone somewhere actually cares...

Guess I won't get invited to his work's leaving drinks.

5 years + 3 years on license + sex offenders register for life. Can't imagine that will be pleasant for a 64-year-old. Enjoy
