I think you mean oink.cd (previously oink.me.uk).

Both his father's home and his employer, which is said to be a large multi-national company, were raided at the same time.
I bet that went down well with his employer

I can just imagine the conversation as he rang into work to say he wasn't turning up that day

worker : "Nope sorry can not get into work today"

Boss : "why not"

Worker : "cos your about to be raided have a nice day"

Boss : "HUH ?"

Police : Open up this is a raid, we want your porn stash and all your munchies"

police whisper to each other

Police : "yeah yeah and all your music as well"

Hosting such sites in the UK is asking for trouble.
I don't think he's going to be Mr Popular when/if he returns to work.

Also, Quack is correct.

Proof, I suppose, that Middlesbrough truly is the crappiest place in the UK. The police are happy to go on bull**** raids against people who aren't commiting any offences.
