Actually, I can reach it in Opera but not IE or FF2. I'm going to do a machine reboot and double check.

Hmm, after a machine reboot I can still get there in Opera, but not IE and FF2. This might be somehow related to the behaviour I noted earlier where if I visited a site successfully I could then get back most of the time after phorm.com was blocked.

EDIT: Finally loaded in FF2 without any images except the banner title (showing a lookup pending for newsimg.bbc.co.uk). Have got the banner title but no more to show up in IE.
I did have a single episode of the BBC news site loading without ANY images a couple of days ago - at that time I think I had a variety of BTwebwise sites blocked, and if I recall correctly that was the day the BTWebwise site was down. Hasn't happened since and I have NO blocks in place at present - deliberately.
