How Clever are those adverts on the site!

Post by Northern Lass »

Have you noticed how clever those adverts are that are on this site?
You click on a thread and then cast your eye down to the ad and it is advertising the very thing that is in
the topic you are reading....how clever is that!

:grin:

It's like those Sat navs with those talking women....they know where you are going and
you might have only decided to go there that morning!
How do they do that!!

Isn't technology wonderful

:shock:

My hubby always argues with that woman and when he's had enough, he switches her off!

I bet he wishes he could do the same with me :lol:

I wanted my Sat Nav to behave just like my wife so I reprogrammed it to tell me to turn about 1 meter before the corner and then to abuse me when I miss it :)

Ooo...now I have some creepy women staring at me and telling me I should enter my DNA into some "Deep" family tree.

Lets see how smart it is....

I really want a Guinness or two right now....

All I get is hotels in various countries .... and as it is -10°C here today that is very very tempting.

One of my friends had a Sat Nav with Basil Fawlty on it abusing him if he didn't do what he was told.
Mine has a charming gentleman named 'James' who is always very polite and patient with me. My husband's is 'Lucy' and she seems equally polite, although I'm sure there are little :roll: pauses when he gets lost ... again!
