Websense - an oxymoron. I once googled "plumbing and insulation suppliers". Websense blocked it stating - "advocacy groups".

BcensoredKS!

There are a number of different alternative domains for PH. Try the .co.uk version for a start. There are also a load of others (or, at least, there used to be) but I'm afraid I don't remember what they were. I think there was a domain for HSV Monaro that resolved to the full Gassing Station, and also one to do with track days.

Tried them most of the time its fine, just when someone links to something it doesn't like. As in my screenshot it turns out there is a link to air guns.

Ah right. Websense is blocking because the page links to something bad? That's a bit strict.

another thread on PH being overtaken by knobs about the use of roundabouts and indicators. I wish these kids would just go back to school!

Today's inclement weather.

I had planned to drive the Sagaris to work today, since it's been nice all week. Cue leaden grey skies, lashing rain, and cloud cover so low it obscures the tops of radio masts. frown

"Up revise." My somewhat youthful team of engineers (to be - perhaps!) have got this bloody phrase into their heads and I have no idea from where. I shall beat it out of them letter by letter. grumpy

that and "reach out" to me...wtf...why not just say call or speak.

Q. Are you a member of the four tops? NO? then "reach out" has no place in conversation at work.

that and "revert"....don't get me started...

The problem is too many fkwhits filming on mobiles held incorrectly when they start filming. And mobiles that only realise they are in the correct orientation about 3 minutes after being held correctly. (I'm looking at you samsung and your stty phone...)

You gotta love British weather frown
That's why I got rid of my Dax Tojeiro, got sick to death of always getting caught out in the rain. Even driving to le mans with no roof, having to use dustbin liners on our legs to try and stay dry took the edge off the whole thing frown

At least the Sag has a roof!

The roundabouts on the last couple of miles of my route to work get very slippery when it rains.

Saw a blue MX-5 enjoying a full 270 degree spin on one of them, was fun to watch. Did make me think: 'I wonder if he/she even knows their car is RWD?'

People walking oddly.

I am overcome with an inexplicable rage when I see someone walking with their feet splayed out to the sides or turned in at the toes. People who walk on the balls of their feet so their heels never touch the ground elicit the same visceral reaction.

I would never act on the feelings I have and I can't explain where they originate. I can only suppose that it's some profound animal instinct.
