Why are Boden selling Mark Warner uniform shirts?

Whizzz · 21/01/2006 22:35

DH just does things to the PC - I think it's so I can' t buy anything

Go on, go on, go on - you can always send it back.

(Oh, sorry Justine, didn't see you were there in flagrante!)

Fauve · 21/01/2006 22:29

Nice shirt though

It's big, and it's making the page really long to scroll down because it's making the space for the thread titles so much smaller.

Although that's just me being nitpicky ... I don't like it all that much but I daresay I won't even notice it after a day or two.

Whizzz · 21/01/2006 22:14

I can't see anything too annoying - but I think its because DH has put some anti cookie - pop up thingy on my PC (can you tell I'm not a Techy person)

nutcracker · 21/01/2006 22:14

Think it's cos it's big yeah.

Suppose we will get used to it eventually.

Nope, I don't have anything against Boden or advertising, it's just in your face and for me it affects my reading - I get migraines and can see this ad out of the corner of my eye, it was nicer with a clear page of text.

not annoying me though!

starlover · 21/01/2006 22:13

another one here who hadn't noticed!

saw threead and thought it meant the one at the top, was wondering why it was so offensive! lol... then realised.

But I don't get why it's any more annoying than other ads - it's not popping up or messing with cookies or slowing the page down - is it just cos it's big?

nutcracker · 21/01/2006 22:10

No not cos it's Boden, it's just there and annoying.

LadySherlockofLGJ · 21/01/2006 22:09

No seriously, I think it will take a bit of getting used too, but lets face it girls, this is a commercial venture, although it feels like a private club.

Justine to quote the Beautiful South, Carry on Regardless.

Why does it annoy you? Is it cos it's Boden?

nutcracker · 21/01/2006 22:05

God me too. Have just popped on and wondered straight away what was different.

Don't like it.

Oh yes thanks I hadn't spotted it either

MarsOnLife · 21/01/2006 22:04

I know...............grrrrrrr

There it is just hanging down the side of active convos. Too posh for the top! Grrr

georginars · 21/01/2006 21:32

it's on the right hand side. If you REALLY want people to look, then you put it on the left hand side. Or at the top. Not that I want anyone to act on this suggestion....
