Err may I ask why?
Or in the interests of equality can I have a 'convert to Catholicism' one too?

Y'know just to make it fair?

I've got Ocado and Jet 2 Holidays. Not been looking at holidays or groceries. I would object to having ones trying to persuade meto a religion- any religion.

A free NBA trial? Are you in the US?

OP
you are looking at the site using a browser on your phone, not the app yes?

Hmm.

I also thought the adds were generated by search history but I see adds for many local shops, in Chile, and on line universaties. I've never searched them as I never shop on line here. The one store I am registered with doesn't show up.

Do you UK MNers see an add for CASA ?

I've got one for a free NBA trial. Never searched anything to do with NBA or baseball in my life.

Off to find out what penguin bollards are now. I shouldn't after the Dragon Butter thing a few years ago.

I've got ads for the MN academy - are they suggesting I needs edumacating?

mupperoon · 25/10/2014 00:04

My advert keeps saying "ARE YOU FEELING LUCKY?" "YES" and nothing else Confused I've not been gambling or anything! Or looking at anything to do with luck unless you count horiscopes

BiscuitMillionaire · 24/10/2014 23:59

DO NOT google penguin bollards. They will be on your pop-up ads for weeks.

You could 'report' your own OP to MNHQ and might get an answer quicker - particularly over the weekend.

Sorry, not sure what else to suggest.

Tesco keep wishing me a happy diwali and telling me I can buy my diwali groceries online. I'm not a Hindu, but I do my groceries online at tesco.

I don't think I've ever been on the religion board Pacific

And 'find happiness'??

No ta I'm happy the way I am

OP posts:
PacificWerewolf · 24/10/2014 23:54

It would annoy me too, Breville

I meant the religion board on MN - not that that would justify the proselytising, but might explain it?

Nope not been looking on anything religious at all. Just MN! The ads do change but how do I get it to stop
If it was porn I'd be feeling the same. It's not Islam itself but any religious matter advising me to convert does piss me off
