Blocked by BMW!
So, here I am, sat in Fawdington BMW’s hospitality area, waiting for repairs to my car to be completed. I spy an internet terminal and, after a few minor hassles, manage to access to the web. Sadly, I can’t check my email, as the terminal’s using the company’s standard website-blocking settings i.e. GMail’s locked out. Thankfully, not everything’s blocked, so I still manage to read a very good post at xlab as well as a number of other regular haunts.
Then I decide to see whether anyone’s commented on my recent posts here (as if!). Lo and behold, what do I see?
Your organization’s Internet use policy restricts access to this web page at this time.
Gah! You mean the employees can’t read my glowing reviews of their service?!? Maybe that’s not such a bad thing, considering what I’ll be saying in an upcoming post... ;-)
P.S. they didn’t stop me blogging from their terminal, mind. He he.
