So, as you've noticed we got a new bunch of people supplying us with ads on a kind of loop if we don't sell the space. Probably time for a discussion on what we can live with and what we can't. Especially as I'm at a wedding tomorrow and then on hols for 2 weeks and won't have to be involved .
So tell us who you a) dislike b) can't bear c) veto or you're off.

(Over to you Olivia!)

I have I have.....seriously...maybe my filters are just wonderful or something....

lemonaid · 11/08/2006 00:01

Oooh, I've got O2 now. Not offended by it yet.

ledodgyrobespierre · 11/08/2006 00:01

Oh and now a samsung mobile.

UrsulatheSeawitch · 11/08/2006 00:01

fw, ultralase and U of L (and presumably the 4x4) are right at the top of the page, above jojommbb (scroll up!)

ledodgyrobespierre · 11/08/2006 00:00

I have boden at the side and ultralase and uni of liverpool interchangeably (is that a word) at the top.

Quootiepie · 10/08/2006 23:59

gawd, everyone wants a piece now!

Quootiepie · 10/08/2006 23:59

I have P & O aswell now

fuzzywuzzy · 10/08/2006 23:58

I'm feeling vaguely upset about this I've only gotten the jojomaman advert.... and I'm afraid I can't get terribly worked up about it (although that woman in the lotus position is getting on my nerves a bit)

VeniVidiVickiQV · 10/08/2006 23:58

Robbie can stay

WorldFamousAuthorMolotov · 10/08/2006 23:53

just seen ultralase haven't seen 4x4

I'm more interested in the codversation

lemonaid · 10/08/2006 23:53

I think I am being stalked by the University of Liverpool as I only seem to get that and the Ultralase eye one. Don't object to either of those but if there is indeed a "how happy are you with your body" plastic surgery one then I'm much less comfortable with that.

UrsulatheSeawitch · 10/08/2006 23:53

OMG, just finally got an ultralase one. (eyes only though.)

UrsulatheSeawitch · 10/08/2006 23:53

fuzzywuzzy, I haven't seen them either. Am beginning to feel as if I'm in a parallel universe with only O2 and jojomamanbebe ads

Beetle73 · 10/08/2006 23:52

take the money - let the 4x4 makers do some good for a change.

Quootiepie · 10/08/2006 23:52

from what?

WorldFamousAuthorMolotov · 10/08/2006 23:51

your site - you choose the ads
anything is fine by me

why should we have a say in what you advertise? - last time I looked this site isn't a co-operative

Heathcliffscathy · 10/08/2006 23:50

quootiepie have you changed your name?

CountessDracula · 10/08/2006 23:50

evidently you weren't here for the aptamil advertising then

alexsmilitantmum · 10/08/2006 23:49

think the ultralase one is dodgy.it's not just eye treatment it's plastic surgery and not really supportive of women as they really are.

rosaparks · 10/08/2006 23:48

I've no problems with any ads so far.

Quootiepie · 10/08/2006 23:47

personally i think pretty much anything... except fruit shoots and sausage rolls. I think they'll get voted off...anything to keep MN up and running At least the publicity obviously drew some attention from advertisers....

ledodgyrobespierre · 10/08/2006 23:46

Hey, i've just seen the uni one that's my old uni

jasper · 10/08/2006 23:46

Absolutely fine with every one I have seen so far.
No problem at all with 4x4s or Ultralase ads.
Have a great holiday

Carmenere · 10/08/2006 23:46

Oh and I forgot to add, I am all for selling out. I don't have a problem as long as you don't have those ads for 'Lovely Tracy from Croydon'.
I'm well capable of ignoring most ads that I don't like.

misdee · 10/08/2006 23:46

havent seen the 4x4 one.

keep the uni one, tho if you can squeeze something out from oxford or cambridge...........

am really not bothered by the ultralase one tho it makes me giggle as some people do need to see things more clearly
