Probably because it's got a javascript running to redirect the page to itself (ie refresh) every minute. (I've got Noscript, so it doesn't automatically allow Javascript)
*sigh* he can use Noscript but can't keep a virus off his computer...
Nah. Not mine. It's other people's machines I have problems with.

Morrisons stores at the centre of an e-coli outbreak :shock:

Careful, if you buy anything from Morrisons you might end up getting foot and mouth AND E. Coli... :shock:

It's all right, it's only Morrisons north of the border.

No problems down here.

It doesn't matter if a few Scots fall by the wayside, does it?

Another new advert begins tomorrow (Monday), but this time the face will be Nick Hancock and it's all about the Fresh Fish and Nick walking underwater with a trolley too.

I can't take any commercial seriously if Nick Hancock's in it; not since those classics for the brewery on Jersey.

Morrisons brand spanking new store in Dundee (in the middle of nowhere near nobody) is currently being delayed because they can't get permission from Amey to change the dreadful double roundabout into a dreadful set of lights. Fun.

I was most impressed last week to witness a brand new Morrisons lorry, proudly sporting the new logo. It brought a tear to my eye.

In other news... last week I was in Devon and saw hundreds of adverts for Morrisons, particularly on bus shelters. I didn't see a single Morrisons store, however.

They ARE the bus shelters - they've down-sized!

I was walking down one of the aisles in my local Morrisons yesterday when I saw a sign hanging from the ceiling saying "Ramadan - A time for reflection"...

Erm... they never had those sort of signs when it was Safeway, and why would you promote Ramadan - a time when many people are fasting - in a supermarket. Can someone explain the logic behind that?

Needless to say I told Morrisons how I felt by giving the sign a good bashing (and accidentally knocking it down!)

I'll admit I do have some friends who are Muslim, but when I get their festivals shoved down my throat in this country I do get a bit sick of it... I mean, would you see signs advertising Christmas in a mainly Muslim country?

I dislike some of the current people who work in the houses of parliament. The brown sauce aisle had better beware!
