Re: Stella pop ups.....................bah humbug!!!

Stella is the finest lager on this planet so they are forgiven!Stick out tongue (unless it's the new blue stella, disgustingNo) If this was a carling or fosters ad I might be a little bit annoyed.

I thought it was generally known as Wife Beater?

Regarding the annoying ads, err, never mind.

The ads provide revenue. Without them there would be no site. That said, the ads should compliment the site, not dominate it.

clear lack of responsibility/accountability!



I hope that's not directed at us WHF staff, who've been writing news stories/blogs/Forum posts on our Christmas 'holidays'  Hmm


We complained as soon as the damned things appeared - remember, we're on this site more than you, so we get maximum annoyance Super Angry



Totally uncalled for eh, Clare?


The poster refered to ad depts, not you.


Whats more, no-one expressed any ingratitude for your hard work which, if you actually are on holiday, im sure you dont need to be doing.


I've had to express this sentiment before but, i buy the (often mistake ridden) mag and continue to contribute to your site traffic which you like to boast about even after so many site "improvements"; how grateful do you want me/us/everyone to be?


Adverts; a necessity, but a sometimes extreme annoyance. And i was singing the praises of your stance on them the other day to website who seem to want to make the place damn near innaccessible.


May i offer my very dissappointed seasons greetings before you press the button.

And i've passed your disappointment (in far more forceful terms) to the ad team that have posted these hateful ads without warning. 

Feedback re 'mistake-laden' taken on board, too - even if I don't agree Big Smile

I'm sure you didn't mean to be quite so harsh, did you?

No offence taken; after 3000+ posts, Al maybe forgets there are new members to this site every day, viewing threads for the first time, whom need to be filled in on the facts. Dull for long-term members maybe, but sorry!
