There's a hint of irony here....

Since you've posted that link on PH, which is ranked highly on Google, you've now made that annoying website more prominent in any search, and therefore more likely that others will find it annoying.

Don't know if you found the website but your waistcoat needs to be Yellow or Orange. Class 3 is used on British roads of 50mph plus so go for that smile

Shirley a million times better than the reality of fat men with half their hairy arse showing above the top of their ill-fitting jeans?

Annoying - any website with sound, extra special st list points for those crappy animated readers that read out some company propaganda.

You can tell that a) the boss knows FA about the internet, and a talking bloke really captured his heart, and b) the webdesigner is 15, and just adds as many "cool apps" as he can find.

It's not always the designers fault. I've just done a very large site for the Scottish Government, they wanted one of their tv ad's on the homepage of this site. Fine I thought, so added it.

They came back, "please make it play automatically", "but..." I said. "No but's" they said. I did try to explain the issues with this but they were having none of it. So, added the video, make it play automatically, they then come back and say "make it loop". So this tv ad (which does have a strong point mind you, kids and drugs) loops automatically. They then come back and say "we want it on these other pages". So this ad, never finishes, starts from fresh when you visit another page, and constantly loops furious

Who am I to say though.

Websites with :

  • flash
  • scripting that is required to access vital parts of the website.
  • re-directs
(Basically anything I block by default and so requires me to click an extra button)

  • sounds
  • flashing things

Any site that sets the 'Back' button to itself so that you can't leave. It just makes me more determined. mad
