    I use an internet dongle.
    I'm at work quite a lot, and most of the places I am based are within the NHS. They, understandably, use a very strong firewall.
    http://www.n3.nhs.uk/TechnicalInformation/N3NetworkSecurity.cfm
    I can't even watch the BBC iplayer.
    The plan I am on gives me 15GB a month.
    http://www.three.co.uk/Home
    Which is, generally, more than enough.
    I do think they have better offers now, but I'm stuck on my plan for atleast 6 months prior to it ending.
    I did have the internet at home, and that was unlimited - but I never really got to use it.
    Plus, lets say, I was going through some austerity measures.
    I have thought about having both again - so I can download films, but have not made my mind up.
    I generally do not worry about my allowance, but this month I downloaded a couple of films...the last one I forgot to turn off, and leaches 'ate' all my allowance.
    I can get onto this site via the NHS connection, but I like to do some research, and look at cats dancing on Youtube...so the dongle is the better option.

    just to annoy whoever moves into number 4.

    More people should start using the saying Superfluous Bullshit or would that be an oxymoron?

    When did salad bars become popular in restaurants? I'm thinking the 80's. Wiki said the term came from 1973, but I don't remember them until the 80's.

    i didn't realize they were that popular. i generally just see them in places that are already buffet style restaurants.

    they may have been around in the mid 70's, but I don't think that they got big until the 80's

    i didnt discover bobs big boys until about 85, before that the closest i saw to a salad bar was the fixins table at roy rogers. but the truth is my mom just didnt take us to places that would have a salad bar.

    Don't see to many Roy Rogers anymore, going the way of Arthur Treacher's.

    Anybody from the Pittsburgh area remember Winky's? "Fast Food Cheap" "Winky's Makes You Happy To be Hungry". "Winky's Hamburger 15ยข"

    yeah the only RR i know is in penn station. there was one on the nj turnpike but i didnt notice it the last few times i was on it.

    EDIT: just did some searching and there are 51 RR locations but its owned by the same company that owns arby's. which....before i read that i thought was their only competition in the fast food roast beef market.
