Maybe an ad for Ad Blocking software would be appropriate.

thanks Justine - I can cope with all the other adverts - it is just that particular one that is soooo irritating

Good-day all,
The renault ad should be over soon - will check exactly when. We've just turned down a similar type of ad format for a new coffee machine and what with that and Christmas, we're feeling very poor. Nowt but bread and water in Mumsnet Towers for a while .

i talked to the receptionist, who was obviously quite skilled at turning star-struck twats away nicely. so are you a writer now?

i remember going to the office on my first ever visit to london at the age of 20. i don't know what i thought they would do... recognise me as a like-minded lass and invite me to work for them? i didn't even have any writing with me, i just wanted to breathe the same air...

83 to 90 i reckon, there or thereabouts. they were IMMACULATE, not a crossword done nor a poster pulled out or badge taken off the front, but i went off travelling for a year and my wee bro and sis wrecked them. bastards.

is it the one that suddenly shoots across the page? Theres a white X at the top, in the middle... hard to see. I havent actually looked at the ad, clicked X too quick!

sexkittyinwaiting · 02/01/2007 23:30

I know what you mean CE. Sometimes i can get it to go away at other times, as you say, it chases my cursor across the screen

sexkittyinwaiting · 02/01/2007 23:29

There are plenty less annoying ways to make that money methinks

CatherineEarnshaw · 02/01/2007 23:29

i cant even find the x quootie - its attached to my cursor and flying in and out at every opportunity arrrrrrgggghhhhh

sunnywong · 02/01/2007 23:28

I had for the first and only time on NYD. How phenomanally irritating for those of you who get it all the time.

Quootiepie · 02/01/2007 23:26

If it's making money for MN... I don't mind spending a millisecond (?) clicking x...
