BE banned at work!!!
Well i haven't been on for a while because all the servers got upgraded at work.
My boss took this oportunity to ban British Expats.
I was distraught when i found out and went up the wall. I couldn't threaten to leave though, cos i am anyway at the end of the month.
Just seems a little petty to ban a the best forum ever when i'm leaving so soon. I miss BE so much....
ahhh there i got it off my chest.

Why don't you try using an anonymouse proxy server. 
Something like http://anonymouse.org/anonwww.html .
A bit of googling will find numerous alternatives; your boss won't have blocked them all.

I think this is a gross violation of your human rights.When our computers went down at work, I was so distressed I couldnt get on BE, when IT people came to fix it, I said I couldnt work in those conditions.
After considerable bribery of fresh scones and tea whenever he came over, IT agreed to 'fix' the problem so BE would always be accessible.

Re: BE banned at work!!!
The powers that be ( Big brother ) the bosses at work decided to log nternet usage throughout the organisation for one month..
Guess who came top with 20 hours usage during working hours
Yes it was me and all spent on B.E
They still let me use it, but they are watching me so strictly lunch time hour only.............
Harsh but fair I suppose
