I have the same problem too, I end up e-mailing myself links to sites that I can open at home. Thing is, they're never particularly interesting, I just want to know what it is being blocked!
You're not missing out on very much at all, though I guess you can't access your PM's.
If you really wanted access to it, then when you get home tonight, register your home computer with a site called 'Logmein'. If you leave your PC at home switched on and connected to the net when you are out, you can then access Logmein at work and it will let you browse the internet (and all your personal files on your own PC) remotely.
wow never knew you could do things like that, dont think I'd like to leave my lap top on all day, I always get the feeling its about to blow up after being on for a little while never mind the whole day!!
These articles are not so much weird as no longer directly accessible from AnswerBank.
The original AB website (i.e. from 7 years ago or so) included regular articles produced by the editorial team. However this feature became neglected over time and although they cannot be accessed by links on the site they obviously still form part of the AB database.
