What you would need is called MiFi - mobile internet with wi-fi. This is Three's version - you can buy it without the iPod.

It has the advantage that you can keep the thing in your pocket and you don't need to have the dongle stuck out of your laptop.

Please note that I have no experience with the item and you should check coverage and wifi range etc yourself.
 
i say, that's jolly clever, many thanks

Yes. If you make an ad hoc wireless connection between the two laptops, then share the connection to your wireless adapter.
I've never actually had to do it, but it's certainly doable.

I've just changed my Three mobile internet contract and in the process, received a newer version of the dongle. Whereas there were loads of black spots with the old one with very poor reception in rural areas, the new one keeps the connection most of the way from London to Leicester - except in the tunnels, of course.
