So me and the missus watched Beware of Mr. Baker[^] (a documentary about Ginger Baker) last night. She had never heard of him, I said he was the drummer for Cream who was known to be an ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) from time to time. Whoa! is that an understatement! The guy defines "full of piss and vinegar", not often you see someone so vilified and revered at the same time. It was interesting viewing (at least it was for me), but not for someone who doesn't want to hear a steady stream of expletives hurled towards just about everybody (his own family included).

It's "The missus and I," not "me and the missus." 
The difficult we do right away...

Without him and the bass player cream would have sucked, because on his own Clapton was crap.
Not only cant he not play guitar with any real originality, his song writing is limited. I mean, after midnight, lay down sally, I shot the sherif? What a load of garbage.

Clapton did not write "I Shot The Sheriff" or "After Midnight" and he co-wrote "Lay Down Sally" with two other people.
|
|
|
|
|
So he didnt even have enough talent to write those then. You reinforce my point.

Won't argue with you there, though I will say that I liked his tone more once he started playing strats. Jack Bruce was certainly one of favorite bassists. But the ego of Ginger is a tad overwhelming, everyone's an idiot and/or can't play worth a s**t according to him, yet he's the broke one of the bunch, karma?

At first I thought this was about George Baker who did some quite corny things after his big hit "Little green bag".
I never could believe that it was the same person that produced dubious songs afterwards like "Una Paloma blanca".
But that's my opinion of course, lot's of people loved that song and it sold very well ...

That's gotta be a coincidence. Bill's too much of an old fashioned gentleman to go for a double entendre.

Either that, or you're all too naive to trust Bill that much.

I don't trust myself enough to respond to my brother, Rajesh-ji, on this.

The coincidences are etymological: [^], but, mea culpa, the intent was not.

setup Bosses boss's laptop a few months back. (new boss person) configured it for VPN. To make sure it worked used hotspot on my phone.
Last month I used 14gb of data. what the what!
Noticed today that whenever bosses boss comes to my floor laptop of theirs connects to my hotspot and that is where she is running her online meetings from alot.
Opps. Guess I should block that mac address.
Own fault really.
Good thing I have unlimited data. Gotta listen to my tunes ya know

Good grief - you leave the hotspot on your phone on? Actually, mine turns itself off automatically if nothing is connected to it (for example, I turn my laptop off or separate the two.)

the thing is. I leave it on so I can listen to Pandora, Spotify etc... during the day and stream music thru my personal lappy that sits beside me. So yes it turns off if nothing is attached. But my lappy is usually attached

I would suggest you might want to visit your boss and explain in private what has happened, and make arrangements to prevent it ever happening again - before someone who understands these things spots it and raises red flags.
You know it's an innocent mistake. I'm sure it is an innocent mistake. But ... to some, it will look like industrial espionage to have all her traffic going through your phone, if you see what I mean ...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

already blocked her mac address so it won't happen again. But you are correct. Was planning on telling boss anyway. Don't think bosses boss even noticed where they were connecting too. not terrbily worried. I really don't have the size of equipment between my legs for even thinking about anything stupid.
But better safe than sorry

Maybe somebody should be? Who knows what they connect through when they're out in the wild.
