The bath is a receiving antenna for aliens (31)

When mobile phones first came into being, the receiption on them was so poor, because the covereage in the UK was not very wide. So,consequently, you would end up having to find receiption in the strangest places.

Hangin out the loft window, balancing on one foot whilst touching the roof beam, etc.

However, they got it sorted.

Now the fun game is WARDRIVING!!!

For those of you who are honest and upstanding members of the community, this will not be a term that you may have heard of.

It is the act of driving around looking for unsecured computer wireless networks and hacking into them.

Or the milder version is to gain access to the net, if you have a laptop with a wireless card in.

This is what I am doing now. I have no access at home, the telephone company want the Bolivian national debt to install a new line, and so I exercised the four muscles on my right hand and extended my middle finger with a polite no thanks.

However today ... a miraculous happening. I had toured the new apartment hoping to find such an unsecured wireless network, but to no avail. Outside, there are quite a few, and even though the sound of my neighbour's question and answering games all night do provide some entertainment, freezing my small,pert butt off in the nae of talking to you lot is not my idea of fun.

Anyway, apart from my lack of committment to CS, the miracle. I had not been in the bathroom with the laptop, as if the rest of the house didnt have access, the bathroom certainly wouldnt.

WRONG!!! I wandered lonely as a cloud (oops sorry, something else) into the bathroom and put one foot on the metal bath and BINGO!! Access in my apartment!

So I got in the bath! THe signal was even stronger. The metal bath was acting like an aerial satelitte dish and as long as I maintained contact with it, I had an intermittant signal. Not strong enough to write this missive, but strong enough to download my mails and answer them when the bath decides to gather up enough signal to give my laptop a smack in the Centrino processor!

So any mail I now send will be from the safety of my own bathroom.

I wonder if water in the bath will accentuate the signal even more ...

Not only Lutz that can CS in the bath ... and all you ladies are in there with me ... what a delightful thought.

I love the thought of being in the bathtub with you

The thought ... trust me on this ... is entirely reciprocated ...

your rubber ducks or mine?

I wanna play with your rubber ducks

Duncan you will say anything to a woman to get her into the tub with you won't you....

Angela watch him...i think the rubber "duck" thing is a typo!!!!!

Now, Wikked ... is there any need for casting such aspertions on my good character.

I am a proper English gentleman who keeps his hands above the water line ....

... and my rubber duck has magical qualities .... it turns women in to believers!!!

Sorry Wikked but I gotta see for my self....

Oh god! Now I have a mental image of you sitting in a tub

What a way to start my week!

"I wonder if water in the bath will accentuate the signal even more ... "

How will you keep your promise to keep your hands above the water line in a dry tub?

Whatever floats your ducks....
