Can you tell me what you think this is?

I use IE and never see advertisements except those pushed out by Macromedia Flash Player and I can switch those off too.

Old news: Clicky :wink:

Well, having read your linked item, I still reckon Mozilla are nervous about the problem. Even if it is "only" a denial-of-service issue. Only?

Is their security chief really called Window Snyder??! :lol: :lol:

If you click on the thumbnail to open a full size picture, you'll find that your elegant overmantel is surmounted by an invitation to "Press The Fart Button - You Know You Want To".

I take it this is not part of your listed building?

What is a Listed Building without a Fart Button?

Cue Nemesis:

"SAVE have called on English Heritage to do more to rescue the last surviving Fart Button, which is threatend with replacement by something more tasteful. Spokesperson Madam Silkybum said 'Fart Buttons are an important part of British popular culture - this one was used by Sid James, Charles Hawtrey and Kenneth Williams. Sadly, most Fart Buttons have now been replaced with genteel Westminster Chimes, and this may be the only example left in working order."

(sorry Nem) :lol:

 

[Nemesis]

I'll retire to my whoopee cushion now and sulk. (BTW - you can now get them which self-inflate, thus meaning you don't need to blow them up after each use...)

I've been up since the crack of dawn hassling the DCMS about Cyclone, Borthwick Wharf, and the general uselessness of EH anyhow, so that's me done for today.

 

[Manny]

Is this what the stress of a major resoration project does to you? You're all nutters!

*rests head in hands*

What have I done!? :shock:

 

[Nemesis]

Isn't it Catch 22 - would sane people do it?

The good news is that I can offer my services to produce high quality reproduction fart buttons. They must, of course, be used in the right context, and not simply added to inappropriate buildings as a pastiche.

They are manufactured from English oak and lime putty, using traditional methods. Customers will have to provide their own brussels sprouts.

 

[Nemesis]

There are some I could name (and shame) connected with certain conservation organisations who have no need of reproductions as they retain their originals in situ.

(Gareth - you don't want a job as S**E's rentaquote media tart do you? The one it has hasn't really recovered from being describesd as 'heritage heart-throb' in the AJ... )

That's just blatent advertising and not allowed on this forum. Why don't you pay for an advert? Don't you know it costs money to run a site like this? :evil:

 

[Penners]

That's just blatent advertising

I'm a non-profit-making organisation. Does that make a difference?

 

[Nemesis]

That's just a lot of hot air and you know it.



(Bet you feel thoroughly deflated now...)

Someone has taken the trouble to record and post on the internet no fewer than 211 fart sounds.* And they say that diligence is dead.



*And someone else has taken the trouble to post a link to this on PPUK.

 

[Nemesis]

I didn't listen to them though.

(Well, not all of them...)

(I know there are ways to stop long links but as yet have not discovered how not to do it. What the hell. I have a scroll bar.)

 

[Manny]

You're all mad... :lol:

Nem it's www.your-really-long-link-here.com

No, it's the other way round:
Your short text

 

[Nemesis]

Which says that it cannot be displayed when I click on to it...

Hmmm. Long links will remain and you will have to use the scroll bar.
