I know I had to Google Japanese knotweed but I don’t need any Weedol thanks.

More depressingly,I’ll be 32 on Friday so putting a massive ad for Boots ‘early defence day cream’ at the side of the page is a low blow 😥

Site now completely unusable on my ipad/phone. Screen randomly repositioning, page often reloaded due to some nefarious javascript.

ste_t – you can tell google not to give you targeted ads so you just get random crap rather than ‘this may be of interest’ crap.

wwaswas – out of interest, how do you do that then? I’m getting asbestos removal experts all over the place. 👿

think this is an EU thing that covers all ad placement companies;

I’ve subscribed. It’s a beautiful thing.

Normally I don’t mind, but I don’t need Google/Boots telling me look old. Bastards.

I do like my P

Any other apple device users keep getting kicked over to the Apple Store to download the Ladbrokes app?

Quite annoying, started using retrobike more now as it works much nicer on a phone.

Google think I like horses, cats and dogs, only time I ever comment on them is usually when they either got in my way, tried to attack me or shat in/on my path so not doing a great job there.

Will edit the list, cheers for the link cougar

Reggaeton

What the blinkin’ flip is Reggaeton?

I think, apart from Hygiene (obvsiouly) and books I am interested in none of them.

“What the blinkin’ flip is Reggaeton?”

Surely it’s Ton wearing a fake dreadlock / rasta hat

I have no interests.

God I’m dull.

I’m not certain that’s in my interests. It’s certainly very niche.

^^^ Reggaeton 🙂

LIKE! 😆

Apparently I’m aged 35-44, speak Japanese and am interested in parenting.

I am definitely not any of those things.

‘Online video’ eh?

Hasn’t happened for some considerable time, on any site, stet that, I think it happened once a week or so back but not here.
That’s on both an iPhone and Pad.

Oops! Correct prediction!

I’m back now though. Lesson learned.
However, the only reason I installed that particular program was to make this site useable on a tablet. It got so bad that I stopped visiting completely.
I think the owners need to look very carefully at the advertising on here – more people view websites on mobile devices than p.c.’s now so the site has to be mobile friendly.
It currently isn’t and despite great content you won’t gain readership if potential customers can’t view it because of intrusive advertisements.

I just got an advert for 33 million USD home in Hawaii! Off target I think!
