Dave if you had let it run ..........

the guy new the exact price of the scooter,,,he was a nerd who had done his homework......further on he new the value of 3 items and took the programme for about 2000 dollars

 
The point was,

How diverted the internet can be when you Google one thing and end up with something so different after a few clicks.

I did actually find it quite amusing, d'ya think someone with mental issues like that would get on the BBC,?

Thought not :C

 
i tried to find info on a  " Hot Box" Heater.   I got rather distracted   

 
Most search engines remember what your last searches were for, I for example searched both hot box and hot box heaters and was shown pages of greenhouse heaters.

Just a thought.

 
Well somewhere, somehow, advertising bods ARE spying on you.

Many of you will know I'm soon to be embarking on building a new house.

Well it seems others know that, and have tied that to my address, because today in the post., came a complimentary issue of "Self Builder & Homemaker"

I would love to know how they tied my name and address to the fact I'm soon to be building a new house. (planning application list is my best guess, anything else probably involved devious monitoring of internet activity)

 
Theres not much that can't be found about someone's activities these days .    As you say , I'm , what 200 miles away from PD  but I know he,s building a house shortly . 

Who can remember what the Queen said to whatshisname ... Diana's butler ,, when the brown stuff hit the air circulator.....something like  " Beware Paul, there are dark and powerful forces afoot "    or words to that effect. 

Does BT still have the "Tinkerbell " dept that the old GPO used  I wonder?

The internet , mobiles, landlines, etc none are secure.       I've always remembered when our friend's daughter , then about 10-11 yrs old  wrote to a pen-pal in Poland .....the reply envelope  when it came..was stamped        .." Opened by the Official Censor "    That was at the British end.

Amazon etc   record everything you purchase  and  Gawd knows what information  Google build up on us all .   

 
many moons ago i had a pay and go mobile for that very reason, I changed my number weekly.

I think that probably the only thing they dont know about you is how many sheets of bog roll you use, [well, I hope they dont anyway! :eek: ]

frick

:shakehead

shouldnt have said that,

that'll be next,

toilet roll tax,,,,,,

headbang

 
I was forman on a job years ago , an ex police building taken over by a university , refurbing taking place.  

A bloke turns up on site , preverbial bowler hat , rolled umbrella , briefcase, pin striped suit straight from London.    He knows my full name , address everything .....   " I'm from the Home Office ,  what steps are you taking about the  Early Warning Siren on the roof  and it's connections to the mains , Mr Evans? "

We did know about it and were about to put a letter together at the office .

You mean you use more than one sheet?

 
I must report you to the Bogroll Police  immediately , expect a midnight knock on the door ..you will  be taken to Room 101 for interrogation . 

Last time I was called Comrade was at an ETU  meeting ...they were amazed to have some contractors signing in ...and as I remember ...we were not very welcome either .   The Sparks Union was run by Communists back then.    

 
Ze bottom inspectors have found you guilty, off to ColdBotz 13 for you

Anyway Steps, you were saying about Google/Youtube taking a line of thought and veering it way off course, just have a read of the 20 or so posts on this very thread, that's derailment extraordinaire that is Rodders :)
