Who is to blame for the Summer of inactivity?
badgerx16 replied to Unbelievable Jeff's topic in The Saints
I'd keep a low profile if I were you, Malcolm Tucker is on your case. -
Have you ever taken a bird or your Missus or both to watch Saints?
badgerx16 replied to chocco boxo's topic in The Saints
"Have you ever taken your missus to watch Saints?" Yes, we have been to several 'local' away games, despite her being a lifelong Citeh fan. -
Blackpool - they can't get the aircon settings right in our offices.

Next stop - Soylent Green ?

Good sound track as well.

Pehaps it's a frame up - Michael might just be a stool pigeon.

RNs best 4 frigates ever follow Ark Royal to the scrapheap

Yes, but to Nelson, these were frigates : -

Given the independent wealth of the Royals, especially with the tax dodging that the Duchy of Cornwall carries out, perhaps the Civil List could be trimmed as a gesture given the austerity everybody else is going through.

Wrong side of the bed this morning ?

Exactly how many tourists get to see the Queen ?

TBH I'm not bothered by this, but I suspect that in reality if we had an honest referendum you would find a much larger minority voting republican. This result is as much to do with the timing, take the same poll after the next Royal scandal. Ah, but that's the problem - you can't avoid it.

A survey of Chelsea Pensioners and Daily Express reading retired bank managers ?

Unless the network you are on also bans proxies.

But maybe just one TV channel's news output could be set aside for those of us who don't want to hear the latest news about who has wished the baby well, nor watch vox-pops with people who have camped out for a week outside the hospital ? Or maybe they could have a 'red button' republican option to suppress the "glad tidings" ?

As long as they skip Chuck I'm not bothered about who comes next.

One small ISP's response : Active choice is not a choice The government wants us to offer filtering as an option, so we offer an active choice when you sign up, you choose one of two options:- Unfiltered Internet access - no filtering of any content within the A&A network - you are responsible for any filtering in your own network, or Censored Internet access - restricted access to unpublished government mandated filter list (plus Daily Mail web site) - but still cannot guarantee kids don't access porn. If you choose censored you are advised: Sorry, for a censored internet you will have to pick a different ISP or move to North Korea. Our services are all unfiltered. Is that a good enough active choice for you Mr Cameron? ( Edit : this 'choice' is actually now on their order page ). http://aa.net.uk/kb-broadband-realinternet.html

Open up your browser of choice, go to your search engine of choice, and type in the search term 'porn', ( be careful no to accidentally include the word 'child' at the same time ).

Regardless of who tries to bring this in there is no way it will deliver what they want, attempting censorship of the Internet is a forlorn hope unless you go the way of Saudi Arabia or China, and even there the people find ways around the blocks. As usual it's a headline grabbing blanket solution to a problem involving a small minority of offenders. CEOP and the IWF should be boosted, quite rightly, to tackle the child abuse issue, but most websites directly delivering this material are already blocked by ISP's, based on an IWF watchlist. The serious traffickers in this material use heavily encrypted systems and secure communications to attempt to avoid detection. If you choose to buy a 'top-shelf' magazine you don't have to give your name, home address, and IP address before you buy it, but this legislation will require you to effectively do just that before you access www.playboy.com. Also, as I said earlier, who defines pornography ? If somebody posts a picture on FACEBOOK of their 18 month old child naked in a paddling pool, is that offensive ? EDIT : a good basic Q&A with some of the pros and cons : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-23403068

It's the wrong solution to the wrong problem. The law is perfectly adequate already in defining 'illegal' material, although the Government has cut the funding to the organisation policing it. As for preventing access by children, it just won't happen - they already know how to use anonymising proxies based in the states or elsewhere to circumvent access controls; I had to make a change to our systems this morning as another 'loophole' was brought to my attention.
