Good luck with bin lady tomorrow

JennyOnAPlate · 16/02/2014 21:53

Bin lady is being very unreasonable to keep the whole of mn on tenterhooks like this!!

I too am being stalked by penguin bollard adverts. I was looking at train fares earlier and there was an advert. I couldn't stop giggling and DD1 thought I had gone mad

nickymanchester · 16/02/2014 22:13

The reason that people are being stalked by penguin adverts is that a lot of websites put cookies on your computer that track what sites you've been viewing and then send you adverts based on those sites.

This is where they track your behaviour and send you adverts based on what they know about the sites that you visit.

If you want them to stop doing it then go here:-

and here:-

www.aboutads.info/choices/

and opt out of them tracking you

the poor penguin bollard people are more confused than anybody on this thread
their web stats will have gone haywire and their adwords bill will be scary if anybody has clicked on a paid link rather than an organic one

Bin Laden Lady .... luff it

nickymanchester · 16/02/2014 22:17

Very true talkin

VivaLeBeaver · 16/02/2014 22:18

So do they have to pay money every time someone clicks on a link for their company?

here's hoping you have a good nights sleep and don't get woken too early. perhaps if she knocks too loudly, you will have to take ages sorting out the baby she has woken up... Wink

I'm getting adverts for penguin bollards too - they're making me smile!

I've also seen the zombie children ones, they're around a couple of schools in Nottingham and creep me out a bit.

AcrossthePond55 · 16/02/2014 23:38

My thought is that Bin Lady will pound knock politely on the door tomorrow morning exclaiming that she is late for work and needs her car right away but doesn't have time to 'talk about the situation'. I think she doesn't want to be forced into a conversation in which she may have to apologize for her behaviour.

HellomynameisIcklePickle · 16/02/2014 23:55

My guess is BL will try and leave her car there as long as possible.

for no reason other than spite

PigletJohn · 16/02/2014 23:59

when the garden gets ploughed up, she will need her wellies and a tractor. A few good rainy days will turn it into a mire.

Fairenuff · 17/02/2014 00:18

Thanks for those links nicky. My screen is now free of annoying adverts Smile

PigletJohn · 17/02/2014 00:27

I wish I could restrict cookies on the hudl.

trufflesnuffler · 17/02/2014 01:00

Shameless marking Grin

Kytti · 17/02/2014 01:33

Hurray! (Are we all here?!) So glad it's going well. xxx

Pollydon · 17/02/2014 07:15

Yes, of the company have a PPC ( pay per click) link they will pay, BUT theyve also had lots of free advertising from this thread Smile

FrankelInFoal · 17/02/2014 07:57

Still no news?

Mrsdavidcaruso · 17/02/2014 08:19

Oh dearie dearie me. Bin lady knocked on the door at 7.30 this morning for her car - but very late last night my BIL had parked his big work van
across her car and we cant seem to get hold of him Wink

I wondered what the boys were up to last night
