I had a similar problem trying to access Canalworld.net, Orange reckoned it
contained adult material.

I contacted Orange and was told the block was set on my number but they
would remove it by sending me some texts which I had to read and then delete
providing that I would confirm I was over 18. I confirmed as required,
feeling quite perky as I have just officially retired, and although no texts
were forthcoming the problem ceased.

I posted on Canalworld and the suggestion made was cANAL. Possible but
doubtful.

One can never tell however. When we lived in Shropshire I was talking to the
women who arranges the computer sessions in the local library and she told
me that the local firm of estate agents, Wright Manley (nudge, nudge, wink,
wink) were barred from the councils computers.
