h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

feeling sorry for myself

hootoo looks like it might move on to pastures new, and i will follow on my home PC

but here at work where i do most of my hootooing, we have a very restricted intranet and apart from .gov sites, the bbc is one of the few we can get,

all the interesting convos all the things i have learned over the years all the friends i have made and adversaries i have clashed with will be locked away from me

feeling a little sad now

looks like its back to books and lonlyness

You sound like a monk being confined to his cell after a wild trip to Rome

going from 11 hours of hootoo a night for a week

to zero

what do you think it will be like???

If we continue, as hootoo in another form - maybe you could persuade your powers that be to make an exception to include it?

Me too, Taff, me too

BTW everytime I tried to publish that or anything else on the new system I was 'nanny filtered', perhaps they're trying to tell me something.

Norti, smileys are filtered out in the new system for some reason.

Which other sites can you access, Taff? Do they have to specifically allow certain ones, or do they block specific ones?

we are a government intranet and can get any .gov sites a street finder/rout planer and BBC

all other external links are blocked

Don't really know what to say, but will do for now.

a bit of venting is all i need

better to vent here than punch some ers lights out

Precisely.

I do fear for our culture though, because a strong BBC is needed now above all times with the *S888* storm coming with all the cuts.

*S888*??????

Sorry its the free speech problem here.

I've been subjected to a lot of censorship of late and got really paranoid. It begins with an s and ends with a t

you can say shit

just nou m uff

it

>you can say shit<

No not always.

If you talk about the BBC treating people like it...it just sort of disappears.

that the protection filter

you can't have the BBC and shit in the same sentance

Hi Taff,
did I mention I got a verbal warning a few months back for being top internet user in the establishment? Yep its true, I did a bit of overtime and back to back night shifts. Which made my on line hours pile up. I asked if they wanted to check the bookmark in my book in case I had read to many pages overnight Have the powers that be got nothing better to do? .......best not answer that.

norti said he had that honour at his nick a couple of months back

i dont think they do it here??

This might come across as me making a dig, but it's not. Why not use it as an incentive to look for a more enjoyable job?

theres nothing wrong with this job

its the best job in the world

i was just a bit miffed because i had the best job in the world & hootoo

and i am going to be going back to just the best job in the world

a step down in an order of magnatude of pleasure
