    If you have a laptop/PC, steam has a sale going on.

    Read a book (?)

    Put pen to paper and see what happens.

    Forgot to bring my laptop :mad:

    I only own the one book (not much of a reader)

    doodling sounds good though to pass a bit of time :D

    Depends on where ya work :P

    Its not OTT - but still, easily offended people should stay clear..

    Also, if you have access to the radio, "off the ball" on newstalk is worth a listen (if you can!)

    Damn. That site is blocked. Will have to look at it on the phone.

    Newstalk going.
    Pen found.
    Paper being doodled on.
    Interwebz being viewed.

    :D

    Should keep me going for a few, cheers.

    LOL, I don't think it'll work on the system. Gaming sites are blocked. Some threads on here don't show up for me at times cause they have certain words in them.

    EDIT: "This Websense category is filtered: Games. "

    Yea, got an iPhone but it's been like this for a few days so all games have reached their entertaining limit. I've read the internet from start to finish. Gone for a walk. Gone for a drive.

    Do you use google reader? RSS feeds can be read to get around most sites that are filtered.

    Have you headphones?

    Not sure what Google reader is :confused:... They're pretty strict on work-arounds to site blocking.
