Default Ads

Once again, while typing a long post, I accidentally clicked on a bloody ad at the bottom of the screen. I then couldn't navigate out of it.

I never wanted a Ford sodding Kuga but now I actively hate them.

Sort it out ad designers because at the moment they are very very intrusive and poorly designed when using an iPhone. Which many will be.

Rant over.

If you think it's bad on here, have you been on an American car forum?! You can't actually find the forum for all the adverts on them, it's ridiculous. We've already got two permanent US advertisements on here, it won't be long I suspect before the whole thing is covered in them.

Simple solution, use an ad blocker.
I'm sure most of us do.

An iphone??? Not a chance in hell.
I've not been brainwashed, I have a mind of my own.
I chose my phone on its ability to perform the functions I want, and not because of some big corporate hype telling me I should have a cheaply made overpriced phone just because its trendy.

Not at all.

I love iPhones. They're so cool.

Then again, my friend's son makes apps for htc or whatever it's called. You know, that massive phone. She slags off iPhone and glorifies that other brick phone (she has one. She's always facebooking on it), and to be fair, it is a good phone. But my iPhone is something I like. I don't give a **** for what she or anyone thinks.

I actually love my iPhone5.

I was Android for ages then needed Mac compatibility. Got a 4s, killed it, got a 5. It's small, has a good screen, the camera is quite decent and I can synch everything easily. Battery life is getting on my nerves ( less than a day; I use the net a lot but don't make many calls) but other than that, it seems good.

I have a spare Android phone now with a PAYG sim (the village we recently moved to has no O2 signal; we are both on O2!) as back up but I find the iPhone a better phone to use.
Also don't like the "good" android phones because they are all gigantic!

Anyway, today I have been offered Rennie in these ads...
