illegal wireless

A word of caution, using someone else's wireless network can be seen as fraudulant.
thanks for the tip tired, however i would never endorse the fraudulent use of such systems i simply ment that a number of the B&Bs have wireless connections which are part and parcel of the rent.

So all you guys out there having sleepless nights about the thought of such fraud rest easy

Cheers Roni

Got any names of the B&Bs which have wireless access? Or just any B&Bs you can recommend?

you are trying to get accomodation at the worst possible time just now not just with the summer bookings but there is also a jahovas convention of 10000 on down here for a couple of weeks.

here are a couple you can try but not sure how much help it will be au levent, ravensbourne, the strand, clematis, the oasis and seaway all on westby road

cheers Roni

Ahh, I'll just pinch the parents' internet access, will be living at home (which makes life a hell of a lot easier). I'm only about 3 miles away from the college here, just so thankful that they decided to plonk the national college at Hurn!

Yeah, summertime is a bit of a tricky one to find free spaces down here, anywhere! Hopefully the majority of people will clear out by the time you all come down though!

Roni, 10,000 Jehovas?? where are they all going, some kind of convention at the BIC? I didn't hear about that!! Yet more people down here during the summer... marvelous

That's not too bad then! Doesn't clog up the town centre. Whenever there's conventions down there, the whole place just grinds to a halt!
Are you still at the college then Roni, or are you based down here now? Or just staying in Bournemouth? Sorry for being so interrogative, don't mean to be!!!

Qs

hi si

no problem yes still at the college trying to work my way through one thing i would say though to all the future tatc's is that you have no idea how hard it is to get through the college until you get here be prepared to work for your dream, it is not an option not to.

notes are normally made using the handouts (as they are done on powerpoint - they print them off in handout format with note space at the side).
Handouts! How things have changed. In the 70's, the only handouts you could hope for were the UK Air Pilot (the weight lifter's friend), the ANO (1968, as amended) and the MATC. (OK, OK; tell that to kids today and they won't believe you!)
