I never use the laptop on tinterweb, hence NO firewall, NO virus software.No NADA

Checked cookies and IE History ( eeek: eeek: eeek: eeek: eeek: eeek: eeek:)

Decided to inform Mrs Nick who checked some of the websites herself ( eeek: eeek: eeek: eeek: eeek: eeek: eeek: eeek: eeek: eeek: eeek: eeek: eeek: eeek:)

Give him one of his own, at least you will then have a measure of control over it. Either that or install Net Nanny on all computers in the house.

Anyway a bit of porn never heard any boy ~ look at Berek ............ Oh I see what you mean.

As his little chum of the severed toes remarked a few months ago "Might as well not have one then". He now has internet capability ~ within limits.

We have also had him barred from the local ice cream shop. He pinched some money out of Mrs Nick's purse and bought himself breakfast. An ice cream, a bag of crisps and a huge bag of sherbet!! evil:

Caught smoking at the age of 10 by my Grandfather he gave me a pipe full of his own "Black Shag" which he used to buy in hard blocks, soak in rum and then "shave" parings off the block to fill his pipe. It was four years before I picked up another ciggy.

Try feeding him sherbet for brekky daily ~ he'll soon get sick of it.

I'm in no position to offer parental advice but remembering the effect of repetitions, were they lines, press ups, sherbets for brekkie  eeek: certainly gave pause for thought and consideration toward those in control who were, let's face it, one's carers and providers. Best of luck.

If the boy can crack your password in 30 seconds then installing the software isnt going to be a problem for him old boy  point:



Look, let him have the internet and encourage his natural abilities. Just point them in a more usable direction. Harriet and Hazel's web site for example  whistle:
