A sneaky peak in the cupboard and simply unplug it would work wouldn't it. Probably nobody will be able to figure out how to tune in the extra channels anyway so you may be doing them a favour long term ;-). Paul DS |

The funny thing is I very nearly owned up to it! Do you know anything about semantics Bill?

Do you know anything about semantics Bill? Oh, that stirs ancient memories! When I was training to be a teacher we had to do 'Linguistics'. The lecturer was a tiny American gent who used to sit on his desk and swing his legs. He went on and on about the Indo-European theory until I thought my head would split. I can't remember whether he thought it was true or false. He also had a thing about phonemes, and would make us all say b-b-b-b-b-b-b and k-k-k-k-k-k for what seemed like hours. He was pally with a Welshman on the staff who taught us Classical Mythology. I've never, ever, in my chuffing life been so ****ing bored. They would have spoilt another couple, I can tell you. Some years later I had an OU lecturer who commenced the Geology course with the words, "Now I have to teach you something called Plate Tectonics. I will teach it, as best as I can, but I must inform you now that the theory is nonsense and within the next ten years will be totally discredited." Bill |

Maybe you need to scan for spyware. It's not spyware, it's the useless flash video advertising banners on that page. I had the same problem. If you reload the page, you get a different set of advert banners so just keep doing so until it stops giving you the worst of the CPU-hogging ones. HTH I guess my use of Flashblock is a factor then. :¬) -- Ian |
