Have you noticed the way they're always trying to sell you something you've just bought?

PVR
HDD
Voice Recorder
Washer dryer

....are all items I've had pushed the day after I've bought one! confused

Try Adblock on your browser, it stops all adverts! It makes your browser slightly slower but it's well worth it!
A helpful Gnetter put it on here a while ago, best thing I've tried for ages.

I've noticed that - you spend a fortune on something and next week they think you might like another! Why? I don't replace my food mixer, vacuum cleaner or computer that often! tchconfused

They do do that. But I suppose it is for people like me who browse, and dont necessarily buy it there and then.
And sometimes, I am grateful for the reminder -hopes I wont get flooded with adverts now--

"Try Adblock on your browser, it stops all adverts!"

They don't bother me especially, I just think their optimism is amusing.
