And whilst it’s not a good idea to watch it at work
Not only is it not a good idea, most companies would probably sack the person watching it. MPs don't work for a company so feel they can do what they want as they "work" for the people that elected them.

Hence it's not a good idea. On your own device in a toilet is one thing. In a public debating chamber is a different kettle of booty. 🤦♂️
And whilst it’s not a good idea to watch it at work (but let’s also be honest the proportion of people who have done that is likely almost as high as those that use it generally)
Well that’s a bold claim
I have an associate who is the most arrogant, pompous arse you could ever meet. Within seconds of meeting him he’ll tell you about his first from Oxford. Fancies himself, something rotten
However, I also know someone who used to work with him who told me he was sacked for downloading porn onto work computers
I’m keeping that one in my locker for when he really irritates me 😃
Maybe he is really into canal boats and was a victim of auto correct?

I expect he'll be fully supportive of Nadine Dorries in her efforts to ban algorithms.
Well that’s a bold claim
Only if you interpret it as 'regularly watch porn at work' rather than 'ever watched it at work'; my suggestion is the latter, and I'm fairly sure it's accurate.
These days 'at work' also means something different. At work is perhaps less vexatious than 'in a work environment'.
Are you a tory mp?
Have you considered a career in politics?
Jinx! 😂
Ceildh porn? That’s quite a specialty.
Is it to late to say he's sorry?
If he had opened it inadvertently, then I assume that he’ll have no problems submitting his browsing history as supporting evidence for that claim
He shouldn't need to. Thanks to the Tories' own Investigatory Powers Act the ISP must have a record of his habits. Is this your petard, sir?
Are you a tory mp?
My social proclivities lean to the left/are libertarian but I guess as an alpha male with a high sex drive I guess I don't really fit the hand wringing wokey lefty beta male prototype 😂.
I've certainly been sent things that were joke vids / links that led to porn. But it kinda rests on the details..... Did he type it in, did he revisit it etc etc
And as a "free member" I feel I can take things into my own hands.
I'll get my mackintosh...
I can honestly say I have never intentionally watched porn at work.
However, one day I was wondering about how far through a typical piece of timber epoxy resin would travel if pressurised and if it would be possible to get the epoxy to fully saturate the grain.
So, while at work, I typed, 'Wood impregnation 100% penetration' into google.
Let's just say I didn't find out anything about epoxy.
He says he’ll resign if found guilty?
Surely that’s going to go like this:
Did you do it?
Yes
Guilty
Bye
More like….
Did you do it ?
We will wait for the conclusion of the investigation..

‘Wood impregnation 100% penetration’ into google.
That's genius (and you expect us to believe it was unintentional ?) 😂😂
I've posted this before but it's been a few years so,
Back in the mid-90’s, when having access web was pretty novel, I had an ISDN Internet connection at work. I ended up using it a lot to provide information to our tech support guys, so I asked management if we could get access for the techs directly rather than them mithering me every five minutes to download stuff for them.
After a bit of persuasion, the MD and his brother dropped by unannounced at my desk (the company was owned by an Asian family, all the upper echelons were brothers and cousins). They wanted to know what this Internet thing was, could I show them?
So, I fired up Internet Explorer 2 or Netscape Navigator or whatever whilst preambling about how different companies were now getting a web presence and so on. I showed them the address bar and explained about URLs, and how sites were typically “www.[companyname].com”. I typed in “www.microsoft.com” and at 64kbps, the MS site rendered slowly down the screen.
With the brothers suitably impressed, I was on a roll and getting into my stride. Tech have been having a lot of bother recently with DTK motherboards, I explained, requiring firmware updates and driver disks and the like. They probably have downloadable drivers on their site, or maybe a knowledgebase. Let’s take a look.
So I duly typed in “www.dtk.com” and sat in quiet contemplation with two devout Muslims watching on, as the “Dress To Kill” rubberware and fetish gear website unfolded on the screen.
After the longest few seconds’ silence of my life, the MD quietly said, “yes, I don’t think we’ll be getting that” and they shambled off.
Oh my… erm.
… clearly Australian given the Falcon XR8 in the background. And South Yarra, Melbourne.

Can anyone translate this utter drivel?
Heh, dissapointed.
Amazing story of a colleague looking to buy a house when he went to show someone the house he was looking at online he went the bush website which he soon found, was not the estate agent he was looking for. This is a guy who would have told you if he'd been looking for porn.
If it had been years ago in the early days of the internet then possibly, you could find porn without even looking for it. But nowadays I call BS on his excuse.
Ceildh porn? That’s quite a specialty.
Is it to late to say he’s sorry?
Bravo dir, well played
My team deal with claims for R&D tax relief. One of my colleagues had to investigate a claim by a company who were claiming a world leading breakthrough in producing lingerie for the fuller figured lady.
HMRC filters would not let her check the website, so she had to use her phone. Which led to raised expectations from her fiance, as she is a fuller figured lady....
Ugh. "too"
Many years ago an old lady who used to live near me was looking on the internet at holidays and mis typed Cockermouth.

Watching porn during office hour in front of a crowd? Really? Something is really wrong with the world.
I had friends sending me porn via social network because they thought it was funny, while drunk in in the pub. They thought it was a good idea/laugh to wind me up. We are talking about different time zones so when they sent it they were having their happy hour.
On one or two occasions the message looked innocent but the moment I clicked it the volume was at a max. Nearly gave me a heart attack. Luckily I knew their tricks. I had to tell them off so no more porn sending to me now.
Anyway, if people are still watching porn without any form of control in public, there must be something badly wrong in their private life. I don't care what they do in their private time but certainly disrespectful in public.

LOL! That's a funny clip.
I’ve been meat spun a few times. Thankfully never at work
…vote 1 for Max Dicks…that moves my understanding of proportional representation…and voting above and below the line
Sounds like a fine upstanding member to me.
when they sent it they were having their happy hour.
And shortly after, so were you? 😁
I’ve been PMSL at some of posts on this thread (…thank you😁).
Does remind me of a disturbing incident when I was at a uni research centre. A colleague was working late, went for tea break and when she came back to her office, found a masters student tugging off to porn in the ‘open study area’. He hadn’t seen her, so she dodged into her office and locked herself in until he’d gone.
What surprised me was that she didn’t report him, or tell us who it was. I think she was afraid of what the other guys would have done to him….the dirty shi**!
You guys pointing out innocent words that get interesting Google results beware, I got a week ban for that a few years back.
Ceildh porn? That’s quite a specialty.
I blame the Alba-rhythms
@reeksy- “photos of bearded sandal wearing men”
That’s a really niche interest you have!
@martinh - bravo!
If you want accidental grumble then try reddit, some of the subreddit names are really sneaky.
Just amazes me that he would look at it at work and also in a public place.
I don't think i have ever ended up on a pron site at work.
Can anyone translate this utter drivel?
I think he is saying that he is a bit of a boat anchor
Years ago I was sent an email pic with headline, man with huge cock, it was indeed a man stood next to a huge male chicken, ha ha, so I passed it round the dept.
Jesus, it was investigated and it started on my pc. Brilliant, nearly got sacked. Fair enough, it was offensive to someone.
I saw far worse though, some of the practical jokes I suppose now you d be out straight away.
A colleague of mine did years ago. As well as being rather naive he was also into golf, and googled something like ‘hole in one’, or so he told us! 😂
The very first time I went on the internet, my wife asked me what website.
“AC/DC.com.
It was on dial up, so took a fair while to load.
Without going into any further details, the website for the scottish/australian rock band is (was, it’s changed now) www.acdcband.com.
So, as it was partially loaded, my wife was like, ‘what kind of band are they?’
I decided to scrap that idea, and instead get a quote for my upcoming motorcycle insurance.
One of the big motorcycle insurance brokers at the time was bennetts, so i typed in ‘bennetts.co.uk’
Which immediately (well, not quite) took me to the website of a gay night club in glasgow.
Again, while it was loading , my wife asked “wtf is this internet all about?”
So, if someone says they accidentally opened porn, I believe them.
anyone else not really give a crap if he looked at porn on his phone?
I was teaching some cabinet making students, discussing different types of exotic woods, someone asked about ebony.
I Googled "ebony" on the big classroom smartboard to show some examples. That was a mistake.
So you didn't find any exotic wood?
Well, we did and we didn't
anyone else not really give a crap if he looked at porn on his phone?
What do the MPs that he shares the commons benches with think about him watching porn in front of them? Or the other MPs and guests in the select committee? Should they put up with it because some of us don’t give a crap? In fact, anyone who doesn’t don’t give a crap about that kind of behaviour, they could be considered a part of the problem.
