Jeeeeez

I've been wondering what your all talking about for days, i'vee been using my iphone to MN as to lazy to turn on the laptop so no adverts.

Am laptopping today and OH MY GOD she is ANNOYING

CJCregg · 24/11/2009 13:20

Arse - I spoke too soon. For a few moments, it was like a horrible buzzing headache had gone away. Now it's back.

CJCregg · 24/11/2009 13:17

She appears to have gone anyway!

ProfYaffle · 24/11/2009 09:38

OMG! It's like magic! Fabulous, thanks for that.

MollieO · 22/11/2009 21:07

I did it today. Enough is enough and it was getting to the stage of making me not want to log on to MN at all.

Ladies, ladies!
Ever been annoyed by all those ads and banners on the internet that often take longer to download than everything else on the page?
For those of you using Firefox, just use this add-on and those pesky brats DISAPPEAR.....

JuanMoreTime · 22/11/2009 21:01

i've resisted putting that on because mn relies on ads for revenue, but if this goes on for much longer, i'll have to... she's just so distracting.

Whomever recommended the Mozilla Firefox ad blocker may I just say thank you thank you thank you. This irritating ad is now a calm space of white on my PC .

ilovemydogandmrobama · 22/11/2009 20:36

Logically, if there is the facility to hide threads, why not advertisements?

Summersoon · 22/11/2009 20:32

I couldn't agree more. She and also the two previous kids looked absolutely sweet but after a few times, their attention-grabbing antics really got on my nerves! (The fact that I am sure that I have met the mother of the first two somewhere made it even worse - they look the spitting image of someone I know I have met but can't place - aargh!).

Please, please MN - could you scratch these ads - or so you need the revenue that badlz?

ProfYaffle · 22/11/2009 15:22

To be fair, it's not the girls herself who annoys me, it's the constant, attention grabbing movement making it impossible to concentrate and read anything.

Gosh they're very no nonsense on BC:

she is still there,and still needs shooting! xx

I think I would fit in

kittywise · 22/11/2009 13:44

How weird I never notice any ads. I simply don't LOOK at them. Just don't look!

southeastastra · 22/11/2009 13:38

you're all mad, she's really easy to ignore.

a thousand apols if her mother is an mner but she looks exactly the sort of child that i really loathed at school. all pointy-teethed and enthusiastic.

I want to pull her bunches and push her over in a puddle.

Please please get rid of the annoying brat.

MyCatIsABiggerBastardThanYours · 21/11/2009 22:24

THeFoosa - that is very funny! BBC did NOT think about its target audience at all correctly, or the longevity of the ad's.

TheFoosa · 21/11/2009 22:15

ha ha ha not the only ones who hate it

here

coppertop · 20/11/2009 10:56

I snurk whenever the thread called "Come SHINE with me" appears on Active Conversations next to the girl's head.

OrmIrian · 20/11/2009 10:28

She is annoying. I think I'd have been tempted to gag her with her own bunches if she was real.

WilfSell · 20/11/2009 10:27

I genuinely think we should make this the First Mumsnet Campaign actually, before the 4 nappies one. Just to galvanise us, like.

Let's all boycott Cbeebies until they take the advert down. Saturday morning?

No. Seriously. I am utterly fucked off with it.

it's like seeing rita skeeter peeping out from the pages of the daily prophet. i no longer care that she is someone's child, she is now a genuine hate figure for me.

it is rather shiney. I've discovered that if you click on the thing that says what do you want to eat she holds a menu up infront of her face. she does peek round it a bit but is mainly obscured. and not waving.

giraffesCannaeFlingPieces · 20/11/2009 01:03

What have they done to her forehead? Its shinier than shiney tinsel on a sunny day.
