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.

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 :))

Thanks Rocky and jimmy. PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today's YouGov opinion poll for the Sun has the Tories level pegging with Labour, the first time that's happened in a YouGov poll since March 2012. The topline figures are CON 36, LAB 36, UKIP 12 and LD 10. That means Ed Miliband has frittered away a 14-pt lead in the past year, quite an achievement for an Opposition leader at this point in the political cycle.

This is the latest in a slew of bad polls for Miliband. Last week, Ipsos MORI revealed that half of Labour's supporters are unhappy with his leadership, while a YouGov poll in yesterday's Sun disclosed that a majority of Britons now support the cuts for the first time in three years.

Hard to imagine worse news for Miliband on the eve of Labour's annual party conference. By now, it must have dawned on even the most die-hard Labour loyalists that their leader is a dud. I still think he's odds on to lead the party into the 2015 general election, but those odds are narrowing by the

I think Europe should either hurry to invest in or help mainland Ukraine and match Russian's investment in Crimea OR face problems during election in 60 days (A pro-Russians may win the election)!!.

Ukrainians don't know English enough to follow the US media.

i don't think the eu should interfere in the politics at all

if ukraine chooses to join eu, then i guess it's fine to offer the country all sorts of incentives to help it get its economy on its feet .....

it's been bankrupt for many many years, primarily due to the hangover of russian communist hegemony in the region, meaning no one had any incentive to be efficient and work hard; there was no benefit or incentive (similar result if a gov't imposes too heavy a tax regime)

the election will no doubt be a very close run thing, not least because of the heavy russian-speaking preponderance in the east, though i dare say that does not necessarily mean that they will want to lose their ukrainian identity ..... crimea was slightly different in that it was an add-on in 1954, though i do not know why that came about

Just been reading MoneyAM's CFD Centre trading info , how stupid i was looking for more info and it was on the screen in front of me.

jimmy b, thanks for posting Rocky's solution for getting rid of the annoying unwanted video, peace reigns once again. Thanks to Rocky also.

The election should be pro western. In previous elections the vote was more pro Russian because of Crimea. Without it a huge number of pro Russian voters will be gone.
