    :) Where did you get Ghostery from? Is is a paid-for thing or a freebie, and if it's free, what's the catch?

    I do agree with the reviewers of the latest version who say that it is less user-friendly than the previous incarnations, but it still works well, you just have to click a few times to enable all the blocking options.

    Did anyone see this on BBC news website? Crikey. Building an outside toilet & ripping out your indoor one sounds a little mad to me. :)

    I was amused at the bit where it said she couldn't find a bloke to live her lifestyle - the next video was a bloke living as 1946 :D
    That sounds like a classic case of premature extrapolation.

    I watched that and I couldn't live like that ,fair play to her if that's her thing but I'm too happy to have hot running water and the gogglebox. I just felt very depressed with the colours in her home its all brown,i know and respect that's the way it was years ago but no thanks. I think she will have to find a very like minded man to live like . think I shall go get a bath in my upstairs bathroom,switch my washing machine on as I saunter past it and throw myself on my recliner and wait for the apocolipse/emp or invasion from whoever/whatever comes first xxx

    :beer: PP, thank you so much for this. I've just got Ghostery and have set up ZH as a restricted site and blocked everything tracker-wise.

    And you know what? For the first time in flipping months, I can even scroll down the page without the site hanging and glitching. I missed the 'Hedge but couldn't put up with how clunky it was before.

    :happyhear Thank you lots!
