Warning

You might be interested to know that your browser is infected with adware/spyware/trojan diallers. The adware and spyware may be collecting personal information or be responsible for unwanted popups, and announces itself to web sites allowing unscrupulous sites to abuse your browser and your machine. The trojan diallers cause dial-up users to connect unsuspectingly to premium rate modem numbers. If you are experiencing excessive or offensive pop-ups or drastic slow-downs in your web browsing this is almost certainly why, and you need to get it removed. This is a genuine warning and most definitely not a joke. Nor is it an advert, but you are strongly advised to clean up the problem or get the advice of someone who can.

The 2 infections your browser is announcing are:

Now that's what I call technology!

Eastbourne. Saturday, August 18th, 2007 about 5pm.

Picture this: grey skies, grey and miserable sea, yet thousands of people are standing on Eastbourne sea front, glued to the spot staring skyward. The Typhoon is flying a demonstration just out to sea for the Airbourne air show, and the things it is doing defy the imagination. Tail stands; genuine 90 degree ballistic climbs; horizontal spins. Jaw-dropping stuff, although I shouldn't actually be looking, as I'm driving, but it is impossible not to look. I have seen the Eurofighter with my own eyes, and I'm still gob-smacked just thinking about it.

One question - why is it the push to destruction that produces the most beautiful technology? I can't figure it out.
