    Darn it, there goes another 15 quid

    What with this contract being so FRIGGING DULL and the evenings not much better (gym, getting drunk with some 60+ people in shared house and opccasional dull evening at British Legion is sum total of my social life in week) what is a bloke to do for entertainment but cruise for mucky pictures on the internet? But on a GPRS modem! I spent £15 since Monday.

    Must not surf for mucky pictures, must not surf for mucky pictures, must not... aaaaagh. I surfed again, There goes another £15. Look you little bastard down there, what's wrong with the pictures we downloaded last week? Seen em. Spoilt bastard!

    Any advice on alternative spiritual pursuits strategies gratefully received.

    PS Yeh! yeh! I was expecting that one!

    Surely using modem on hotel's line to call national rate number would work out much cheaper and faster than rip off GRPS?

      In crappy shared house AtW, not hotel. Was thinking of drilling into broadband cable that bloke in next room has installed as it runs through my room. (One of the two others in house who is not over 60)

      However I was thinking of something spiritually uplifting rather than cheaper ways to surf porn.

      Hows your killer app these days?

        well if its shared house then just get your own landline, even though 12-months contract is a bit of a pain in this respect, at least this way you can get dialup.

        Or, if you have real people's skillz, talk to your neighbour and convince them to install WiFi and share their connection on the cheap -- you may have to shag a few fat bored housewifes for this, but that beats paying £15 for GRPS.

          Or buy an unlimited GPRS bundle. I think Vodafone now do them for about 50 quid a week which works out at 3 active nights for you and a bit of email

              getting drunk with some 60+ people
              If my first interpretation hadn't been overriden by a subsequent post of yours, I would have carried on thinking you were sharing a house with more than 60 people...

                i reckon you should look at casual relationships on't internet.
                Find yourself a real bunk up!!
                Watched this crappy reality program with some chick trawling around
                for casual s*x, she looked abit fat, but other than think she was managing to pass the time........!!!!!!!

                  Hmm, yes I have recently woken up to the possibilities of the internet. Far from being a sad occupation it can give you greater social and sexual success in many ways than more conventional social occasions. Made a good friend myself recently. My brother married an America lady he met on internet and a chap at work reckons he has had quite a few bonks through exchanges on various sites.
