I was looking at bits for my conversion (the one I mention in the GW section) and found out that the Webwasher system that my company use is kinda useless.

http://www.games-workshop.com - perfectly fine, the page shows.
click the UK flag
uk.games-workshop.com - blocked by webwasher.
go back to the main .com
click the US flag
us.games-workshop.com loads perfectly fine!

Now web washer blocks things for reasons such as "toys" and "humour", so which idiot blocked the uk sub domain and thought that'd stop people? :D fools!

Any other interesting ones at college or uni?

I'm sure there are other porn related things that they won't appreciate in the public rooms :blink:
But I don't think Manchester was even keen on porn in your room - like hosts, it tends to eat bandwidth! Although I don't know if they ever checked or anything :\
