Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Far from it. :-)) Money am are.

Okay, pleased about that dc., enjoy the rest of your weekend.

And you 3m

Sorry to be a pain dc., but do your computer keys stick whilst going on this site now? I am one of the fastest on a keyboard but since this stupid advert everything is retarded. I have written an e-mail to my friend and not a problem.

oink oink .....




Neil Kinnock's son selected as Labour candidate for Aberavon

Stephen Kinnock, who is married to Danish prime minister Helle Thoring-Schmidt, will stand at the 2015 general election

The son of former Labour leader Neil Kinnock has been selected as a Labour candidate at the 2015 general election.



Stephen Kinnock, 44, who is married to Danish Prime Minister Helle Thoring-Schmidt, was chosen yesterday as the official Labour candidate for Aberavon, in Wales

If elected in the safe Labour seat in the 2015 general election, he will join his mother, Glenys, and father in the Houses of Parliament, where they are respectively Lady Kinnock of Holyhead and Lord Kinnock of Bedwellty in the County of Gwent.

Despite his marriage to Thoring-Schmidt, Kinnock is based in London and works for the business advisory company Xynteo. He has previously worked for the British Council and the World Economic Forum.

Thorning-Schmidt is not planning to stand down as Danish prime minister. She recently told a Danish newspaper: "I do admit it is unusual, but we have lived an unusual life in many ways and we always make it work.

She most recently received publicity in the UK when she was shown taking a "selfie" photograph sitting alongside Barack Obama and David Cameron at Nelson Mandela's memorial service in South Africa.

Hywel Francis, the current MP for Aberavon, announced last November his intention to step down in 2015 from the seat, which the first Labour prime minister, Ramsay MacDonald, once held.

Sounds like its slowing your computer 3m.

Wowzers, do we rejoice/commiserate or get pi--ed? How exciting is that one?

what ?

Sorry dc., my above comment was referring obviously to the Guardians comment.

I thought you had opened a bottle of gin, lol

Jumping jack flash, wish I was drowning in it at the moment.

If you are using Chrome do the following as already suggested on another site:

It works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As on another thread, if the "Video ad" is being a nuisance and you are using Chrome down load Adblock and then silence is golden again.

Thanks Fred but I am not using Chrome, just had my computer to the shop last week and all bugs etc., were supposed to be cleaned out things only happened since this stupid advert. The computer people remove my Norton and gave me a free version of AGV. Not a problem on anything else only money am

Like the way it states YOUR VIDEO will start in x amount of seconds, is not my video.

Perhaps it should be a 7 day constant blue one and perhaps it would take our minds off the bloody stock market - joke, ha! a! ha!

Brilliant sketch.

When down always remember the ones worse off than ourselves - sometimes though when one is down then they cannot see that escape, thank you for reminding me.x

TO ALL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ADS THIS IS FROM Rocky on the FTSE250 thread it works !!!

OK, did some research into this and found the following solution. For IE, go to 'Tools' - 'Manage add-ons' - click 'Tracking Protection' then in the pane below click 'Get a Tracking Protection list online' In the page that opens I selected the second entry down 'EasyPrivacy' by clicking the 'Add' button next to it. Make sure it it then enabled in the 'Manage Add-ons' entry list.
That will zap the add box completely and peace and quiet will resume.
Hope this helps. I imagine a similar fix can be used for google Chrome. If I get time I'll look into it.

I did a bit of research for 'Google Chrome' users and came up with this:
In Chrome to the right of the address bar click the 'Customize' button then select the 'Settings' option then click on 'Extensions' on the left side. - Click 'Get more extensions' There is an app called 'Adblock Plus' which claims to zap annoying ads. Presumably if you install that it will do a similar job. I don't use Chrome so haven't tried it myself. Hope this helps

How kind of you jimmy b., will try it tomorrow and thank you.

Thank Rocky ,, i wouldn't have had a clue ,i was on my way to see a friends daughter who was going to have a look for me , sad isn't it that we look to kid's for help in this cyber world :))
