Cheered my day - opened up AN (at work, but only me in the office).

And the randon pic was the one taken when Penthouse went a calling to Llechwedd.

Purely in the interest of mining history, and the use of mines in the late 20th century, I wonder if the spread as published in the magazine exist.

Been injured while at work and are not to blame?

Get over it.

:lol:

The photo appears in Victorian Slate Mining by Ivor Wynne Williams, which I bought because of it's good historical content :angel:

On a related note, if I try and open AN through the standard browser on my phone Virgin tell me that they are dedicated to looking after its customers in a socially responsible way and will not allow access to the site as it holds content unsuitable for those under 18 (if only I was and perhaps if only it did!).

No problems if I access it through the Opera browser on my phone though.

I know, I have the book as well.

Anyway, rather that pic than the one of William Hague 😉

I'm not sure who looks more uncomfortable, the model or the quarrymen.

On another vaguely related note, AN had recently become banned by our company web filtering, which makes my day worse.

Allegedly it has "streaming media" but i'm not sure why its getting labelled as that.

Seems everybody thinks AN is worth blocking. It beats the hell out of me, I've no idea why. There's no streaming media as such, there's a couple of short clips on the videos page, but the bulk of the videos are on YouTube.

Can they just block the one single page that has some video clips on it and unblock the rest? Because I can categorically say there's no streaming media anywhere else on the site!

I'll ask around as I work in the IT department there, see if I can find out what product they are using and why it might be picking it up.

Have a sneaking suspicion its getting gone in Holland instead of the UK now though.

In that case tell them to have a smoke, chill out and unblock it :lol:

I thought that the model seemed more interested in what was going on - and the quarrymen were bored. Perhaps she is into IA.

Oddly, I have gone through the Llechwedd albums and cannot find it.

I tried Googling 'Llechwedd Penthouse' - could not find it in images, but this thread was No2 on the links page of Google.
