Nice notes about your school Tango, but tell me more. What lessons do you love/hate. Describe teachers. Who are your friends? How about adding some historical notes for your submitted piece, like when did the school open etc (ask your history teacher - he/she'll think your showing an interest).

Oh dear, if there's one thing about my school I hate it's the IT facilities. In particular I hate the access to the net. They have a filter that refuses to let you look at a page if it contains certain words. This, for me, is a pain because I run a warez server and warez is one of those words. I've tried everything I can think of to get around it but short of running an encrypted proxy-server (which I've never been able to find for windows) there's nothing to be done. It won't even let me look at this site.

Count yourself lucky! After a short time at H2G2 it blocked it! Call that a stupid restriction!

My school grumbled because it had sex on it.

That could be why mine did, the front page mentions it a bit. Any idea why I could logon for about 10 min before I was (permanantly) chucked off?

Yeah, the first time you logged on it simply generated a file which told you school's server never to let you on again. The next time your computer sent a request the server refused it.
If your network admin is dumb (and let's face, how many of them aren't?) you could try going to http://www.anonomiser.com and looking at it from there.
