Or that light harms milk?

Anyone else's adverts gone peculiar?

Mine is for "the family within" harlequin membership? Wtf is that?

Dear dogsnet, I'm being abused! Fancied a trip to Amsterdam for some lovely walks, my owner found out from these darn ads on MN and now she 'claims' to have lost my passport. What to do, how to escape her?

On a different note, I don't get ads as long as I use the app 😉.

Apparently I need to use something called Duck Duck go. Given the Amsterdam thing I'm almost scared to ask what that is

Yes, my iPhone needs a new battery. If I just make the effort to schlep to the apple shop, I can escape back to the app. Sounds like a plan. I'm too sensitive for all this ad business.

It's a private search engine, and acrually a good way to foil the algorithim. Helpful of it to suggest how to outwit it Grin

I often get ads for gay cruises. I'm not gay and have never been on a cruises.

I also get a lot of ads for top divorce lawyers. I wasn't planning on getting divorced, but maybe I should take it as a sign.

MrsMozartMkII · 27/06/2019 19:08

Mine's locked down so much it doesn't know what to show me. Makes for interesting Grin

Ticklingcheese · 27/06/2019 19:24

Msadragon, I wouldn't be able to not be suspicious. I get ads from everybody's searches on our wifi, when dc are at home, I get datings ads gallore 😀. Same when I search for presents, everybody gets ads for them, not very much of a secret then 😁.

penguingorl · 27/06/2019 19:59

haha! yes, I get ads for random spandex outfits! Turns out OH has a lime green body suit type spandex monstrosity that he wears to martial arts. At least I hope that's where he goes of a Thursday evening... Grin

🤣 they must know you better than you wish. Actually quite a good ad, perhaps they have problems with uk tourists?

penguin pics please 🤣

ImperfectTents · 27/06/2019 20:54

Apologies for casting aspersions . All I get is Edwardian chic from toast which makes me feel like I am 96

RosaWaiting · 27/06/2019 21:03

we need those ads in London. Though whether or not anyone actually gets fined for public urination here, I don't know.

Ticklingcheese · 27/06/2019 22:46

penguin oh...oh

RubberTreePlant · 27/06/2019 23:17

Wow. That's quite a garment 😂

@slipperywhensparticus (nice NN!) did you find out what the harlequin thing was?

OP posts:
penguingorl · 28/06/2019 00:14

Yes, indeed, does anyone think that I should be worried about him donning those to go out of an evening then coming home all filthy and sweaty?! Blush Confused Shock Wink Grin

penguingorl · 28/06/2019 00:15

(sorry, will stop derailing your thread OP! Grin )

Ticklingcheese · 28/06/2019 00:24

Love your derail penguin, sorry op 😀

You should be very very worried, either it's someone with very bad taste or a blind or kinky lover 🤣. Either way you are well rid and I suspect even your wardrobe will take a sigh of relief.

RubberTreePlant · 28/06/2019 00:46

Oh I don't mind. It's just that I now also have spandex shorts on my screen 😁

Oh rubber trying not to laugh out loud, don't want to wake dh.

We could really mess with your ads, if we tried 😂

maggienolia · 28/06/2019 07:41

I've got Avon lipstick and Estee Lauder bronze goddess.
Neither of which describe me at all. Sadly.

CigarsofthePharoahs · 28/06/2019 07:46

Whenever I'm on FWR I get adverts for all male gay cruises. As a married, dumpy middle aged woman I don't think I'm their target audience.
However right now I've got an ad for the all new ford Mustang. I'd love me one of those if I had the cash.
