    If you get accepted let us know when you are on so we can tune in. I wouldn't go on there, because I would refuse to steal (i just wouldn't have the heart to). Good luck though. Keep my fingers crossed for you. You never know, you might be on there with another MSE'r!!
    If dogs don't go to heaven, then I want to go where they go. :A
  • That programme is ruthless :eek:

    I would end up going home with nothing, I could never steal I would feel too bad!

    Me too!!!! I'd be too kind to steal, and knowing me, would end up playing against a greedy so and so who stole and I'd end up with nothing!! There was a fairly old ish lady and the prize was massive (I think it was 90k!) and the other woman stole it from her. There was plenty of money to go round so no need for having the whole lot. I'm sure the old woman called her a cow aswell, that hadn't been edited out :rotfl: I saw the same old woman on the weakest link ( i think) a month or so later!!

    I know there a few people who do very well out of tv game shows, I'm sure some must be on here from time to time.

    If it's any consolation, you are not alone :o I just did a Google search for 'autofill select alternative' & it seems there is a discussion forum for Mozilla stuff & the poster yesterday at 1.41pm (MichaelBrock) shares your issue. Seems to be saying that if there is a drop down list (like county or country) then autofill used to just find the right one on the list but now it makes him select it as it doesn't seem to see the right option. (also the guy after the next one having the same issue).

    No answer on there (yet) but if you try going to Settings & then Advanced, if you have a tick beside 'Use selected alternatives index for subsequent selections' try turning it off? :confused: It sounds like it may have something to do with the problem, not sure what it might have a knock on effect on, but if it makes it worse you can also nip back in & re-tick it? :) Good luck!
    Thanks for that, will keep an eye on that link :A
