    When you got to touch something on your screen and ad advert pops and in that split second it takes your brain to process where to press the screen has moved and you inadvertently press something else.

    Happens all the flipping time...

    You need Adblocker Ultimate.

    Does that work in stopping YouTube ads?

    I believe so. It stops ads on everything as far as I'm aware.
    (Someone will no doubt say otherwise).

    Yes, but that then means you can't access some sites that rely on ads to pay for their running. A link last week to a local  Sunderland newspapers online site being one as I couldn't read because of my ad blocker

    Going to a wake (which is terrible anyway) and they have a memory book. So being a complete blockhead I write in in it as if I'm talking to the guy. What I failed to grasp is that his family are going to read it not him. So I put something that's a bit riskay (nothing personal)now i feel like crap about it. Not like I didn't before but this just adds to it. It's not that anoying I know but I don't know if there's a thread that describes my feelings. 
  • Pretty much everything. If the sea at Scarborough wasn’t so bloody cold I’d be seriously considering doing a Reggie Perrin.

    Don't beat yourself up about it. His family might actually appreciate you writing to him rather than them, it's more personal.

    as long as you weren't reminiscing about him cheating on his wife with rent boys i think his family will quite like you talking to him rather than just writing that they have your sympathies 
    Oh dear......the lack of clarification here has me worried.....

  • Following on from adblocker is there anyway of getting rid of always agreeing cookie policies? I'd hoped once you did it for a newspaper etc that was it, but seemingly not!

    I can just about forgive Newsthump because their 'Whatever' button amuses me. Well, it did once. Probably. The others drive me mad, especially the ones that have a statement saying that it's to protect my privacy or some other such nonsense. How can consistently asking me the same inane question possibly protect me from anything?

    You man you always have to agree with them? 

    So pleased we swerved the offspring thing... ;):D

    no, it's just this particular poor parenting where the child has successfully dragged the parent to their level and their relationship seems to be continual tit for tat squabbling and said parent trying to assert authority using a louder voice.  If you have an intelligence advantage, use it.

    People (usually kids), who go into a local mini supermarket or corner shop to buy a cold drink.
    Now.........the cold drinks cabinet has a glass front on it so you can see what’s inside, that’s the bloody idea........so why the feck do they find it necessary to open the door whilst they stand there looking into the fridge cabinet whilst making their choice and letting all the cold air out, mind bogglingly ridiculous......the dopey TWATS!!!!
  • People queuing up overnight to buy a pair of trainers at an inflated price because they are associated with some celebrity. And people paying others to then buy those trainers off them at an even more inflated price.

  • Suits and ties at football matches. I've never thought to myself, "I'm going to a football/baseball/cricket/other game, I think I'll put on a suit". Director's boxes full of them. When I win the lottery and buy Charlton, I'll ban them from the director's box.  
  • Ties. Silliest garment ever invented and worn by humans. (for men, anyway)
  • Rickshaws!!!!

    if i'm wearing a suit i always wear a tie and will keep the tie on until im taking the suit off (ie wont take the tie off as soon as i leave the office/get to the pub/the church bit is done). it looks so much smarter  
    Not really. A tie on or off in itself makes no difference.

    Not as much these days, when people wear "Vans" with their suits!

    I think we've covered this before but people putting trainers on for their walk down queen Victoria street from the train gets up my nose. Not as much as those stupid scooters or fold up bikes but it aggravates me all the same

    My boss does this. Decent suit, pair of shite trainers until he gets to the office when he puts on decent pair of shoes. Buy yourself some even more decent shoes that you can walk in mate or otherwise come in in a tracksuit and change.
