Smile Lets play and here is a little humour

Just to lighten the load and mood and help everyone get back to sharing information good, bad or ugly I would like to relate a true story and hope it will bring a smile to everyone in the Fanaticus Forum.

When my son and his friends were about 13 they were going places on the internet at one of his friends house that they should not have been. Without them knowing it the father caught it and installed a filter. They never complained because they would have told on themselves;until his friend was assigned to do research on the Titantic. Every time he got to the second "t" of the Titantic, it shut him down. I think this is hilarious. So guys lets go back to playing games and having fun.

Scott M.

Talking Here, here!

Put me down with this one. It's a game. We play games for fun. When a game stops being fun for me, I stop playing it. If it stops being fun playing with someone, I stop playing with them.

Default Skin condition

Filters can have their funny and serious side.

My father had a very unpleasnt skin condition, when he tried to download some pictures from the internet he was not allowed to do so.
He made a note of the website address and let his doctor know.

When I was a schoolboy it was a case that the Littlewoods catalogue was the schoolboys porn.

I remember when they first put in really aggressive filters here at the school. I laughed at an older instructor who got shut out when he tried to find some leather working sites (its his hobby) but then he had a laugh on me, when, to practice my Latin I tried to access the Latin Vulgate.
