Happened once years ago. The .co.uk site was a booking agency for wedding / ceilidh bands and the .com site was hardcore gay porn. Luckily I was at home and not at work.
Gay Gordons?
Dashing white sargeant?
Or has stripping the willow got an alternative bent I'm unaware of?
anyone else not really give a crap if he looked at porn on his phone?
On his own time? No.
At work. Yes.
This subject sort of came up when we got issued with iPads at work. The gist of the reply was "do what you want provided it's not at work but FFS don't use our internet connection to do it".
He said the first time was accidental after looking at tractors, but the second time was deliberate.
So... many... questions...
Anyone from Devon want to explain tractor porn to the rest of us?
"The situation was that - funnily enough it was tractors I was looking at. I did get into another website that had a very similar name and I watched it for a bit which I shouldn't have done. But my crime - biggest crime - is that on another occasion I went in a second time."
Ah, okay, not tractors then... just a similar website name... write your jokes now...
messyferguson.com ?
No, it's something to do with New Holland... isn't it?

Different rules to Gloucestershire then?
'Stumbled' onto the 2014 celebrity nude photo leak the other day from wondering who exactly Amber Heard was in the Depp/Heard case.
Somewhat unflattering pics i must say.
I've had 2 memorable accidents - first one many years ago, my partner was doing some college work and wanted a picture of a green parrot - I searched for (probably on Alta Vista or Yahoo! 🙂 ) Green parrot and was met by a load of child pron and links to discussion boards for such. That was pretty bizzare - can only imagine it was the code word shared on their BBS for the day. Grim.
The other was at work - pretty funny - company I worked for had a boat in the Volvo Ocean race. Some bright spark had got hold of the URL volvooceanrace.com and when you went to that page porn popped up.. and kept popping up, filling your screen until you shut down (maybe ctrl-alt-del killed it, but I seem to recall it was too quick for you to register a key-strike). Jolly japes were had spreading that around 😛

It's a bit like the 'drinking at work' thing. Most of the country has basic standards of decency and professionalism, and most of us would get fired for boozing in the office or watching porn in a meeting.
So it's not too much to ask that our representatives in parliament (who are paid very handsomely for the privilege) acknowledge that, and hold themselves to at least the same level of professionalism that you would expect of a junior office worker. And, if they fell short, hold their hands up and do the decent thing, rather than try and paint themselves as some poor hard done by victim.
did it the other day at uni, had been frequenting sites on an evening, closed the laptop, never reopened the laptop until being the library the next morning, had AirPods in listening to podcast, so it played for a good second or two on high volume before I pressed mute 🤫
He said the first time was accidental after looking at tractors
So now he's reformed, he's an ex-tractor fan?
Very good.
He's written a Deere John letter for his constituents.
He’s resigned.
Ah well they'll pin a blue rosette on a pig and it'll get in.
If the majority is significantly reduced then it's still not good for Johnson with the only constituency he cares about - his MPs. Apparently now considering a snap general election for the autumn. <insert Brian Cox Succession meme here>
To be fair the fact he has resigned shows he seems to have more integrity than the rest of the tory MPs.
Apparently now considering a snap general election for the autumn.
Well, this is going to be tough winter for a lot of people who voted Tory for the first time when backing Johnson. A winter or spring election would not go well for him. Not convinced that promising to get Brexit done ("and this time, I mean it") will wash once the next lot of heating price rises hit, and the promised cheaper food and flush with cash NHS are no where to be seen.

Might be playing the long game, he has fubared everything up that winter will be a disaster anyway, but if labour are in charge the weak of thinking will accept it was Labours fault in years to come (for the winters disaster)
I take my lunch to school every day in a small insulated lunch bag that was given to me when we checked out of the campsite in France in the summer of 2019.
Last week I went to rebook for this summer. It transpires the campsite is under new ownership and the old Web address is no longer current for the campsite. It is now some kind of holding page for a porn site.
This morning I realised that the Web address is printed along the side of the lunch bag. I simply cannot carry it into school again!
I guess you could do it through bad luck but doing it more than once and continuing to watch is the same sort of mistake as falling on a bottle of shampoo and having it go up your arse, several times.
A colleague of mine's muscle memory meant that he wanted to type myhermes, but his hands went xhamster. The bit I liked about the story spreading, is that to understand it you had to know what xhamster is. It was a bit like when american right wingers were suddenly calling everyone cucks and you think, hmm, you realise that til that happened it was exclusively a term used to describe porn where your wife gets screwed, most often by a black guy? So why do you know that term? Why is it in your conversational vocab when you decide to pick a new insult?

Can anyone translate this utter drivel?
He’s an alpha male who’s so alpha that instead of being out shagging he’s sitting in work watching porn.

I do remember occasional stories about reporters and others interested in politics mixing up whitehouse.gov and the whitehouse.com which had a rather different audience in mind.
Having watched his resignation speech I do have a bit of respect for him. Says first time was a mistake but second time wasnt and seems a bit of an idiot who hadnt really thought about what was appropriate in the workplace and, once it was explained, realised the right thing to do was resign.
Compared to the government ministers who would probably claim "well it wasnt illegal porn so I am staying" and at best say "I am sorry you were offended I was watching porn" he comes across as an idiot but at least one willing to learn and accept responsibility.
Ah well they’ll pin a blue rosette on a pig and it’ll get in.
Not sure any pig will allow that after all the Tories are famous for sexually assaulting them!

It's very worrying that you're a school teacher entrusted with children
I mistyped th URL of a mapping website several years ago and a child porn site popped up. I immediately closed it down and phoned it security to ask for the URL to be added to the block list.
Pretty sure they checked my machine to see how long I'd been on that site (about 2 seconds) and then blocked it, but I'd also had a few cycling websites blocked as a result as well - apparently my lunch hour wasn't meant to be used for browsing cycling websites.
Neil Parish, who has had the whip removed following accusations he watched pornography
Removed from where? Enquiring minds want to know.
Back in the very early days of the interwebz, it wasn’t that unusual to misstype a web address and suddenly get huge numbers of iffy popups that would just flood the screen, the only solution was to shut down the browser completely, sometimes even shut down the computer as well, and start from scratch.
Not only is it not a good idea, most companies would probably sack the person watching it.
There was someone in the art studio where I worked for a time, place produced point-of-sale stuff, and he’d been spotted tugging off to online porn in the studio! As it was open plan, with just small dividing screens between work stations, it’s almost like he didn’t give a toss…
His employment was terminated pretty quickly.
Those tractors are good for a tug.
A colleague of mine was browsing for outdoor clothing at work. He tried Tisos, Nevisport a couple others and then Blacks. Only he used the .com instead of the .co.uk URL.
So yes, it can be done.
Once followed a link on Bluemoon (a Man City website) but before NSFW was really a well known phrase during my lunch hour at the Council - up pops a message along the lines of this website is blocked due to pornography - nearly pood myself!!.
3-4 weeks later manager asks me in for a chat, can we discuss your internet browsing Ian! explained what had happened and said just follow the previous link, you will see its from a City website, and besides, I'm not stupid enough to watch porn at work, am I? To which he replied that's exactly what the lad said last month who was clocking in early and watching gay porn for an hour before anyone came in!

Unless you've got a telescopic handler hanging around.

Are we getting Friday Ceilidh back?

'Cuckold' is centuries old, it's a word I've known forever and I've watched vanishingly little porn (as previously documented, I'm not particularly a fan of spectator sports). It feels like something my gran might've said.

Yeah, sites used to intentionally register domains like micorsoft.com in the hope of catching out the ham-fisted (so to speak). Modern browsers will often warn / block that sort of shenanigans these days.
Just been reading the comments about a boingboing article about this, and I felt one contribution needs quoting, it’s got ISO and everything!
Am I alone in wondering exactly what sort of porn you accidentally run into while looking at tractors?
Hot, barely ISO 5675:2021-compliant, general purpose quick-action hydraulic coupling?
(edit: ISO 5675:2021 <span class="badge badge-notification clicks" title="1 click">1</span> is real enough; but I’m not paying 38 Swiss franks for only 5 pages, even from the…fertile…minds of ISO/TC 23/SC 4. They do seem to have it all, though. quick-action hydraulic coupling; rear-mounted and front-mounted three-point linkage, remote control hydraulic cylinders, telescopic tipping cylinders, piton-type coupling, non-swivel clevis couplings…)
🤣🎩👏🏻
Ass to mouth it's an easy mistake just ask Boris.
Years ago at work we were looking for Range Rover dimensions to stick into the computer modelling we had for testing road layouts and got a rather abrupt warning saying I was a naughty boy and the web page closed. I was curious why so pinged the IT bods and it turned out the site was hacked and redirected you to a porn site.
More recently I was on a train from Manchester to Oxford and a bloke sitting next to me was on his laptop. I could see he was doing something to do with MOD procurement for Typhoons. Pretty certain he should have been more discrete about that (I was civil service and that sort of casual approach was frowned upon to say the least) but then he got out his phablet and was perusing a site called kinky panties dot com or something like that. 😀.

Full Member‘Cuckold’ is centuries old,
Of course. But "cuck" isn't. The only place it was used before it became an insult was porn. And it's no coincidence at all that it gained traction when obama was president. But for that to have happened, people had to recognise and understand it and so you can make a pretty safe bet as to their porn habits.

The number of times I've seen or overheard face to face or telephone conversations on the train down to London from civil servants has been embarrassing. If I know not to discuss departmental policy in public, you'd hope my better paid senior colleagues would have grasped it.
On the one hand the Speaker of the House has said
At the end of the day, I want to make sure everyone feels supported and has somewhere to turn – and to make this House not only a safe and inclusive workplace, but a model for other legislatures.
On the other hand Michael Fabricant just tweeted this

That Michael Fabricant is some sort of self obsessed idiot isn’t he? He’s like a Johnson wannabe. How do we end up with him representing us?
I would imagine for most civil servants forwarding on a tweet like that would be a written warning at least these days.

BITD (about 20 years or more) accidently stumbling on pron sites seemed to be a more frequent occurence than it is now. I was once searching the net (probably using netscape navigator if anybody remembers) for video clips of vehicles stuck in soft mud (for a presentation on terramechanics). I was flabbergasted to find that folks have a kink for this (I sh1t you not) when I stumbled across a website devoted to skimpily clad young ladies getting their cars/pick-ups etc stuck in the mud. Close-ups of high heeled shoes frantically mashing the accelerator pedal as the tyres spun ever deeper into the mud. Predictably enough the scantily clad young things then get covered in mud, trying in vain to push the car, but that was it, nothing else seemed to happen (unless you had to pay to watch the next bit maybe??). Amazing what folks are into.........
