    If you were running a bit-torrent (or other) client/server, then they would be able to tell because you'd need open ports in order to operate.

    Well that remains to be seen. If our information commissioner survives (he made a lot of enemies during the MP expenses thing), then BT will probably be brought to book. Though any penalty will be peanuts to them.

  • Good evening everyone. Just got in from a horrible day at work. Now have a banging headache so plan on having a quiet evening in with OH. Went out with my mates last night so think a night in is needed!

    back from a lovely stroll around the park, it's a really nice evening, just a bit of a breeze.

    OH is paying his son whilst he's home from Uni to do various jobs for him - he came round and mowed my front and back lawn the other day and OH is paying him (!) and i'm really tempted to ask if he fancies doing the weeding and a bit of hedge cutting as the rest of the garden is a jungle.......£5 an hour apparently his dad is giving him.......I reckon it'd be well worth me paying him £10 or £15 to do it for me one afternoon - I won't be doing it - I despise gardening!

    Intrigueing :think:

    Me thinks we had better not talk about this on here :money:
    we are bending the rules

    Sharing files is not illegal. Sharing illegal files is illegal. You can go here and here should you want to share some files with the blessing of their producers.

    This one is particularly good if you want bells and whistles.

    Bit torrent is a legitimate filesharing utility.

    sorry you are having a poo time, turn it around into the positives - you have a partner who loves you, a beautiful baby, the chance to start a fresh job or career - who knows where that may lead - AND pizza :T

    evening all. I'm in pain and grumpy today. I've chipped a bit off of my top wisdom tooth (not having much luck with these bloody teeth) and I'm in pain. Also I asked my daughter to tidy up the girls room because it was shocking. She was up there for a couple of hours before she went off for a sleep over. Stupid me should have checked the room before she went but i didn't. So, I went up after she had gone and realised the state of it. So far I have created 11 bags of rubbish, broken toys, litter and junk. A complete mountain of dirty washing, including some brand new never worn clothes. her PSP and DS were in bits under the bed.. along with 1 and an half black bags of litter... and it's a divan!!! Seriously that room was like one of those out of the Kim and Aggie show. I'm really pee-ed off.

    So, I've pretty much emptied it apart from clothing, no toys or games, no tv or any nice stuff. if they can't look after it they won't have it. I've really set off my hip pain again though with all the bending and lifting grrrr.

    Then I came downstairs and my son had been in, cooked himself lunch, made an ungodly mess and went out again. leaving me with a minging kitchen to sort out. Am I the only one with any standards in this house? It's like living with a bunch of tramps. Hubby would help but he's away until tomorrow. I wish I'd flippin gone to work now. Sorry for moaning. I wish I could open a bottle of wine and work through it with a dvd but I can't even do that!
