pop up blockers?

This is grumpy and unhelpful - but I'll climb on my hobby horse anyway. I don't bother with sites that employ pop ups. With an effective blocker all is well, but if the site won't function without pop ups enabled then it's badly built and not worth my valuable time.

I haver the same problem with my new designer toaster Michael, any ideas John?


Fritz Von I heard that the 7billion years it will the take the sun to destroy us all, still won't be long enough before you get a pint in ?

Fritz

The best invention would be something that stops you popping up.

Mick von dont you wish we had the equivalent of online greenfly killer parry

Yes, and say hello to Jack later on, I've heard you run the whole lodge on the verbal (Gas) that eminates from the clubroom ?

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

thanks for the moaning petty little cat fight you guys. i'll check out the forum. in the mean time, i have managed to dissable my msn pop up blocker and got the web cam up.

I do believe Mick and Fritz have just been soundly (or even roundly) spanked!

One hopes you feel suitably admonished?

I wonder what jason.g so wanted to see on that webcam?

Astronomy? Bird watching? Bonsai tree growth?
Lab or workshop activities? Smog monitoring? Any other ideas?

i'll put your dirty little minds at ease. it's a surf-cam. a web cam located on the pier at salburn by the sea on the NE coast. its a 50 mile journey for me to go surfing and the new web cam allows me to view the surf before i make up my mind to go and get wet.(ooh-errr missus.) with reference to smog monitoring Nime, is that a lucky guess that i happen to come from Middlesbrough and we are affectionately nick-named "smoggies", due to the masive amount of industry and refineries in the area?

I don't have a dirty mind. I was trying to ascertain your particular interest without appearing to be asking you directly. I had no desire to have my head bitten off having seen the autopsy reports on Mick and Fritz.

Thankyou for the geography lesson. I had't heard of "smoggies" until now. I have no idea whether I am slightly psychic or simply crushed under the combined weight of rather too many coincidences.

Given the nature of sewage outfalls one might have thought an underwater webcam to check the daily turd count would have been quite a good idea.

50 miles seems an untoward distance to travel simply to get wet enough for the journey home? Couldn't you do kite-surfing on the local slag heaps, or something?

I must admit Jason does come across as somewhat ungrateful and over sensitive.

I gave him a contact with a very good website and I get moaned at and he gets wound up because he suspects that one member thinks he might (note might be) using it for mucky purposes.

Possibley he needs to change his outlook.

Jason.....you are coming across as a bit of a prissy.

At one stage in my life for some strange reason nearly all of my friends were surfers - all the more strange because we all lived in a land locked town (Palmerston North). Anyway, it was quite common for them to drive for a couple of hours on the best forecast area and .... flat. Years later when I heard of surf cams I thought of those guys and how a (relatively) simple little thing would now be saving them hours.

No no noooo surely not, Mick!

I'm sure Jason's just upset that you and Fritzy aren't getting along...why don't the two of you just kiss and make up - for the bank holiday at least anyway!

Cheers,

Jon

Ah yes, that whole technology thing - it's a bummer innit

Fritz

Would you like to come around for dinner. We can then pop down to the Gluepot for a drink.

Love

Mick

That's the spirit Mick!

C'mon Graham, waddaya say??

sorry for the comments guys. they werent supposed to come across in an aggresive manner. just my sense of humour is a little too dry i have been told.
the local beaches of the north east are all now blue flag and "the lonely planet" describes the north of england as the favoured choice of tourists.
kite surfing on slag heaps? i,m not even sure what a slag heap is. i would guess its what you see when you come out of a night club. my rubber wetsuit would draw undue attention whilst out on the town and would fail to offer secure storage for ones beer chits. kite buggying is my other hobby. no web cam has been invented that can measure wind power so i have to rely on met reports for that.

Good god! I was once a keen kite buggier (bugger?) and used a 5 metre Peel (Peter Lynn kite). Scared the hell out of me once or twice I must say. Things have advanced a lot in traction kites since then by the looks - four line kites are common now.

I've been going to Saltburn bodyboarding for 15 years. Was up there bank holiday monday, after ringing the surfcheck (09068 545543), but in the time it took me to get up there, the wind had turned onshore and the surf was poor. The webcam is a great idea; Nick and Gary at the surf shop do a great job.

i thought i travelled enough from RAF Leeming but Harrogate is another 20/30 mins extra. you must be dedicated steved? i,m soon moving to Billingham in Stockton-on Tees and Seaton Carew is nearer for me but Saltburn is nicer and Gary and Nick do a great job as you say. i was in at seaton on bank holiday. it was cleaner than saltburn. you have to go in after travelling that far. its good to see i,m not the only extremist on this forum as i imagine the average poster to be middle aged, rich sensible businessmen. sorry if this offends anyone. it's just that i think Naim attracts that sort of clientel. maybe i,m way off the mark and we are all youthful adrenalin junkies.

jason.g
by most measures I am middle-aged (nearly 49), sensible and a businessman (finance director), but also have an adventurous streak - hence the bodyboarding, bungee jumping etc.

I'm not a particularly good bodyboarder, but have done it all over the world. I think I was just unlucky with my timing yesterday, as normally winds die off in the evening.

There's some nice downhill lakes in Switzerland, innit.

This is an optical illusion Fritz. Similar to a mirage. It's due to all the hot air blowing in from Germany.

i want to know, if hot air rises, why is it so cold at the top of mountains? (i,ve got hundreds of these questions.)

Because as hot air rises it cools.

Next question. (And not the one about "if nothing sticks to teflon then why does teflon stick to the pan?" either. I wonder that myself.)
