You don't need to go as far as Australia (although you may want to because of the weather), just come over the water to Belgium, I can't see any ads from here.

You may be in the chocolate capital of the world but I can top trump you on the weather.
The chocolate is shite here

I think that moving country is possibly a bit of a drastic step - and can you imagine the look on the customs officer's face as I give my reason for emigrating?!

Am I the only person who just sort of fuzzes out the ads? I never notice even what company they are for!

Troutpout · 16/12/2006 13:57

no Flame... i never notice ads....whenever they do those ad surveys, i am useless.

Is it me then or have they corrected it now?

My spelling has gone completely to pot. I can no longer tell when I should write "affect" or "effect" . Placenta brain

It's you, Miaou Still says Desprate.

Should say Desperate, like the box set in the pic (did you get my email, btw? How are you feeling?)

I did, thank you my love!!! Not feeling too bad atm, but then have just cleared out my system

LOL that I can't see the spelling mistake though! Honestly, things like that usually leap out at me ...

No ads in Croydon either. But it's not such an attractive prospect as moving to Australia.

What are the beaches like there?
