I've got an NFL Game Pass ad at the bottom and I have precisely ZERO interest in the NFL and have never browsed it.

Yeah, I thought that at the time. However, not guilty on this occasion as it is a work PC so the dodgiest website I view is HNA itself!

As part of my job however, I did once google 'Disciplinary Codes of Practice' and got some interesting results, which had me frantically hitting the back button!

apparently, the new owners have had 2 executive boxes knocked through into 1 big box, with steps leading directly down to the lower west so they can sit with the fans......

I think those steps down are to leave early and not get stuck in the carpark .... :-)

Oh dear - Royal Blue.... You clearly don't understand the world of display ad targeting on web sites and behavioural targeting. We all see different ads. The ads that you see are based on your previous behaviour on the web......

I see an add for the Park Inn hotel at Heathrow, where my meeting was held yesterday. You see something different:

"Well someone has a sense of humour - or maybe they know something that we don't know about how JM found our new owners:

The advert at the bottom of HNA's home page is for thaimatches.com - 'chat free with New Thai Ladies' "

Say no more......

Perhaps your assumed superior knowledge of these matters has affected your ability to read. Firstly, as I already explained above, I fully understand how ad targeting and behavioural targeting work. As I also explained, the PC would not have transmitted any information that would have directly led to that particular ad being targeted at it. And in the absence of such information, I very much suspect that the ads that will be displayed will be those that have been shown to attract the most attention (or adverts from the advertisers that pay most for their ads to appear) would have been displayed.

Knowing all of that, my initial comment was made very much tongue in cheek. My downfall was that I was too lazy to capture, save and display the screen image in my post in order to illustrate my failed quip.

You mean the one where she's in the locker room with her mature lesbian coach?

Did you get a warning for inappropriate use of the office internet or are you now working from home full time ?

I once went to stardudes.com to watch the stardudes star wars parody cartoon but found it was an adult xxx site, I actually should have visited dudestudios.com - the studio who make stardudes :oops:

I also went to buy my sister tickets for the offspring and there are two sites, theoffspring.com and offspring.com - one was an adult xxx site and I went there in error.

In both cases, I just e-mailed IT and confessed and they said it was fine - I'm sure they spent the afternoon visiting it theirselves just to make sure.

Not sure if this has been posted before, but a little update Reading and the FPPT.

Shaun Harvey, Football league Chief Exec said:
Harvey also defended the Football League’s 'Owners’ and Directors’ test', designed to ensure that clubs are not managed or controlled by individuals who may present a risk to the club’s position.

Reading are currently awaiting the League’s ruling on a takeover of the club by a Thai consortium led by Samrit Bunditkitsada.

“With the owners and directors' test, the applications have been in from the directors and investors (in Reading). I don’t believe there’s anything that will cause any distress from that,” said Harvey.

“We are spending more time on the source and sufficiency of funding to ensure the club is appropriately funded going forward so we know whose money is going into the club.

“But the club is aware of these steps and I think they are quite satisfied with that.”

I have no qualms with them taking their time, especially after the whole TSI fiasco, considering the transfer window has been and gone, there's no huge rush anyway, especially if this chap Shaun has basically said the owners and directors test looks fine and they just want to clarify proof of funding.

It's only meant to be SB holding it up too. It'll be done when it's done.

He's supposed to be in England tomorrow according to Facebook. With that news, an announcement may be made next week.
