will it be on for much longer?

am I the only one who is finding it beyond annoying?

can I hide it? switch it off?

I might just have to go somewhere else for a while, I may be forced into doing some housework...

I complained moaned asked nicely recently for an ad to be removed as it was swirling and birling and making me mad.

The lovely ladies of MN waved their magic wand and it disappeared a day later.

See, told you so.

Stay here, don't go doing housework. It will spoil your day.

I get German ads. At the moment I am being offered private health insurance, my own internet website and a degree from the University of Phoenix.

They do not bother me too much unless they are very colourful/moving/spinning

I have an ad blocker and still get ads though. SoupDragon, what ad blocker do you have?

It's part of my virus/firewall software (Kaspersky, although others do it too). It blocks ads. It's wonderful
