I was given a works Lap Top yesterday and accidently left it switched on when I went to Morrisons for an hour. During that time, I'm assuming the Budgie flew over to the laptop and landed on the keyboard, and as it was jumping around the keyboard accidently typed "nice nockers" into the google search engine with its feet.

The Lap top is going back to work today, and so any advice on how to delete history would be usefull, I don't want to get blamed for something that clearly the budgie did.

Install Firefox and use the Private Browsing mode in future.

Using Internet Explorer is dangerous and wrong.

If I wasn't so keen on my current sig I'd be tempted to use that one!

I hope the budgie got to see last night's Newsnight about 40:22 in - and even if it understood English it probably wouldn't be able to concentrate on what was said.

Ah right - the budgie did it.

In future, close the laptop.. Or install firefox or Chrome. They both have private browsing settings.

I ended up in hot water with HR, there is a picture of a topless woman sunbathing on the laptop.

I can only assume the Budgie was playing with the mouse, pushing it around and then jumped on the left mouse button as the cursor was over the picture.

Why was a topless woman sunbathing on your laptop. Sun loungers are far more comfortable. And as no-one else was around it seems your budgie has mastered the use of a camera as well. That's one talented budgie

It was clearly looking for advice from champion archers on the proper seating of an arrow on the string, or "nock".
