I think he really needs info on professional disasters, there seem to be very few DIY ones in comparison.

Try Google, there's at least 2 threads from recently on DIY disasters.

Poor site with popup adds - the Internet's biggest annoyance.

some hum-dingers there.

Absolutely

Ah, you can see it now.... a handy web site for use by phony tony and friends to justify yet more nanny state legislation! ;-)

Part Q1, outlawing the sale of hacksaws with plastic pipe for example......

Not wishing to be pedantic, but the word does feature somewhat prominently on your website ....

Frank, have you sent him the pictures of your boiler installation? You should ASAP.

If it drives away dangerous people like you, I think it a very good thing.

That would need to go in the masterpiece gallery. No hacksaw in sight......

Get a copy of Firefox. You'll soon forget all about popup ads.

No pop-ups here, maybe you should use a proper browser?

Nor here actually, and I'm only using the latest version of the proverbial "improper" browser, IE.

I used to use a third-party pop-up nobbler, and TBH I think it's a Bad Thing that MS have finally incorporated this into IE functionality because it spells the end for pop-up ads as a revenue generator, and they will need to be superceded by something else.

Perhaps it will be marginally less irritating?

Besides, *I* have control over what happens on *my* computer, so I will always be able to block ads.

proferessional work. DIYers pay a lot more attention to their work, and care what the result is, as we have to live with it for a long time.

The problem with DIYers is that they think they know more than a competent experienced professional. The clearly do not. Must of the reasoning behind many jobs they do is clearly warped in some way. This group is full of them.

Judging by his site, he's evidently a pro sparks (and hasn't ever posted here before apparently); and he visits a diy newsgroup expecting the inhabitants to provide him with photographic evidence of bad diy work, presumably in support of his own business and in order to add more grist to the mill of the 'pro-Part P' brigade. I wonder how he defines "... if it works..."? Personally I think I'll pass.

I think they have been replaced by something else....enabled in IE at the same time as pop up blocking was introduced. I think it's a kind of floating window which third party pop-up blockers cannot block. I haven't seen this for myself since I use Firefox, but I remember reading something about it at the time.
