Believe it or not I am posting this on my wife's well-used laptop PC using a Vodaphone dongle, a svelte object that might have been sold in a sex shop if we were a thousand years in the future and a bit smaller than we are now.
We are staying in a house without broadband but with fairly good mobile coverage. This connection is noticeably slow, but it works even for this frivolous purpose.
Thanks to our nephew who lent us the device, and to ifithelps who assured me it could be used like this.
Backside! Chapeau! Pussy-cloth man!

AC, " if we were a thousand years in the future ", no chance. Battery technology will still be carp. :-(

Don't forget to delete your history, especially if you've been looking at granny porn.

Armel,
You made reference in another post about that racist prison murder - there was a R4 programme about it - do you recall what it was called ?
|
There was a TV thing about it, faction, last night or so. I didn't catch that either. But I remember the case which was very poignant and seemed to concern some unusually evil behaviour by prison staff. Just the photos of the two main actors made you want to weep, a mouse and a rabid Tasmanian devil... oh, very droll.

Found it on iPlayer - a dramadoc RIP Boy - still on iPLayer and available until Friday - must make time to listen to it. Thanks Lud for reminding me that I'd missed this.

>> ...........Thanks Lud .........
Now I remember whose favourite word was "chapeau"!

Is the lack of Broadband a temporary thing at your new country seat?
|
Not new Z, old (to us I mean, not an ancient house). There's broadband there, and in a cousins' house just across the lawn. But our house is now nothing but a front wall and half a roof, and won't be habitable for months.
The builders have taken over the phone line and broadband. If we park near their portakabin we get our own wireless connection. But the house we're staying in at the moment has no internet, so the dongle comes in useful. Means we don't have to sit in the car trying to think.
Actually tonight we are back in Kensal rise. We are imitating the sprightly yo-yo. It's strangely knackering.

maybe you can use a mains broadband system to piggyback off someones internet?
