| 362492 | 2005-06-10 15:33:00 | Hmm... Young Dangerous Dave seems to have some strange ideas about "legal prostitution." This is a school ball we're talking about, remember. And as for never paying for a girl - he sounds a bit like a bachelor I know. The difference is he's 75 - and somehow never did get a girl who wanted to stay. Ah, but wait until Dave really falls for a girl. Oh, to be a fly on the wall then... |

| 362493 | 2005-06-10 15:52:00 | Hmm... Young Dangerous Dave seems to have some strange ideas about "legal prostitution." O no...... a friend of mine once shouted me a concert ticket, AND she bought me a drink......... Whore i be without even turning it up! O the shame, the shame. :illogical Seriously though, i can see some of Daves point regarding tradition and expectation, but i see nothing wrong with shouting a friend a night out. Nor do i see how it matters on what gender the shouter or the shoutee are. The above example (concert ticket) was thanking me at a time when Tool came to CHCH. I couldnt afford to go, but dearly wanted to. I'd spent 3 days a week or so beforehand rewiring part of her truck, and had thought nothing of it. A better thanx i could not have asked for. Recently i shouted another friend to the movies (HHGTTG) just cause she'd had a hard week, so i gave her a wee pick me up. I think everyone likes being spoilt sometimes ey? |

| 362494 | 2005-06-10 15:58:00 | Yes, everyone does.. And what on earth is HHGTTG? Last query before I log off - and far too late to work it out myself right now. |

Ah, but wait until Dave really falls for a girl. Oh, to be a fly on the wall then... so from what your saying, the girl was a moneygrabber who left him because he wasn't paying for anything? Sounds like he got the better deal... |

| 362498 | 2005-06-11 01:42:00 | Growly: Your link site looked promising - once I found the working bit amongst the ads. But using it immediately generated a pop-up with an official-looking Firefox "Warning - You may have Critical Errors on your Computer." It told me Error Guard found 47 errors & I could do a free search. It also told me that by clicking the Free Search button, I agreed to the End User licence. That button was virtually hidden under tiny print at the bottom of the page. And the licence said that if Error Guard detects errors, I have to buy it before it fixes them. That's when I exited. Sneaky stuff. As a new user, I'd have fallen for that. It looks really worrying... So although the site seems useful, I'll find another next time I want an acronym explained. Dangerous D: No, my point wasn't that THE girl left him. It was that they ALL did - one by one. Romance & your wallet aren't necesarily good companions. |

| 362499 | 2005-06-11 03:47:00 | Laura: I have been using that site for at least a couple of years and have never experienced any popups like you describe . I disabled Opera's popup blocker and even tried IE but still got nothing . It is possible that my Hosts file is blocking them but that seems unlikely . You might want to consider the popup blocker extension for Firefox and see if that stops them . Actually, as you mentioned the other day that you now run Windows XP it could be possible that you have the Messenger service running if you don't have SP2 installed . Download and run this little app ( . grc . com/stm/shootthemessenger . htm" target="_blank">www . grc . com) to check and disable if it is running . |

| 362501 | 2005-06-11 08:00:00 | Thanks Foxy & personthingy. Interesting... Yes, I am now on XP with SP2, but the Messenger symbol at the bottom right of screen shows:" Not signed in" when I put my cursor over it, so I just assumed that meant it was inactive & I could ignore it? But I'll certainly download the " Shoot" if I guessed wrongly. As for Firefox, I had the popup blocker on my old 98SE & thought I'd put it on XP (plus I've had no other popups) but maybe I was installing too much at once. Checking required... Meanwhile, looks as if I've got my own personalised sneaky popup others don't see. Exclusive, huh? |
