Kind of like TV commercials. the amount and type vary by the time of the day

Words like 'TV Commercials' and 'vary' dont ususaly fit in the same sentence (unless theres a 'not' anywhere in it)
Seems every channel in the UK has a set routine of adverts. Accident claims company, Debt Management company, Insurance company, (Those anoying Halifax adverts where they rip off towny songs! ), And a few for hair colouring.
As predictable as clockwork!
Where were we?  ::)

I have been off work for the past month due to a back injury so I have seen the commercials during the day. If you are watching any "Judge whoever", The Maury who's my daddy Povich Show", or the best "Jerry Springer" the commercials are mostly for Lawyers, and some kind of tech school. During Soap Opreas, its women prodects.

Advertisers obviously cater for the typical audience at the time their products are shown. Most ads during the F1 Grand Prix are for cars or accessories. There wouldn't be much point in advertising household goods.  ;)

i still wish F1 had stayed with the BBC those ad breaks ruin F1, by any chance is it on a broadcast delay of say 5 mins or so, just incase they were to goto an ad break and something major happens, because it if was real time live your gonna miss out some pretty important points of the race, i havent been able to catch a race in full in a long time due to other commitments on a sunday so someone else may know this one

I agree. The ITV commentators make a point of telling us we won't miss anything important. I'm not convinced this is true during a live broadcast. They most likely record the complete race for edited highlights. Even then it's not certain you would see specific incidents. Whichever channel it's on, the director is at the mercy of the broadcasting company of the home nation.

 I've been using a freeware pop-up blocker called stop-the-pop-up from http://sureshot.sureshot.xaviermedia.net/stopthepop/ for quite a while, this thing doesn't let anything through unless you hold your ctrl key, I recommend it.
 You can configure it a little, but for free you can't beat it.

Well, flippin' well...
This is a first for me today....
Just got the usual junk mail,  re: the dreaded "Viagra", on Outlook Express, but this time it was different, the senders address was completely blank...
A right click to bring up properties for the address found nothing.
And because of that I couldn't even Block it, or create a Message Rule for it....!!
Things are getting really dangerous now, when you can't even find who is sending you mail...!!
...no IP address...!
These annoying buggers are resorting to some dubious tricks now to hide themselves from us...!
GGrrrrr.....!!

Cheers...

Regarding Spam it's worth checking this site out

& this

Another point: Spammers can tell if you've received the mail - & therefore you can be logged as a valid email address - I use a POP3 email checker that allows you to view mail before you download it & you can delete the unwanted stuff. There are several of these available & I've found it has considerably reduced my spam ...
