You really thinking you're going to become an internet millionaire on affilliate clickthroughs from that attrocious site, let alone the Search Engines give it any recognition then you are greatly deluded.

The following is what I copy/pasted from your "helpful hints"

"Large Nuts and No Spanner" "Use a metal 'G' cramp"

Quite why you would put more effort into disabling the right mouse click than site content is anyones guess. Even more stupid when the traditional keyboad comands ctrl+c copies highlighted text to clipboard and ctrl+v pastes from clipboard to aplication.

Now, go try understanding how a business works and the effort that needs to be put in to get anything out of it.

God bless aresoles. They need it more than anyone

"Turn Garden Fork Into A Shovel Slide a square piece of metal between prongs"

Very useful I'm sure.

LOL. Actually, it may be worth a second visit just for the comedy element!

I have never read such a load of cockamamie crap in all my life.

"Small Nuts Large Spanner Place a penny between jaw and nut (don't deface it) :)"

Small Nuts, Large Hammer Place hammer on nuts with large swinging actions (Please deface them) ;-P

And the cheek to try and disable you from copying the text. Sheesh !!!!

Copies just fine under unix, although I can't imagine why you'd want to.

And I thought my written English was bad

these are two of my fav's

Drilling Hole In Wall Mark with a cross-hair not a dot (drifting seen)

Fit A Door Frame Not in Wind Use string on diagonal top of one leg to bottom of other, watch cross in the middle

Weelll, while I understand the sentiment here, none of us here know this guy (I presume) and maybe he's just someone trying to earn some dosh by doing that? Ok I can see what you mean about the site and it;s content - but it was not so long ago that crappier sites did make money. What I means is don't knock someone for having a genuine go. He's quite entitled to do that and you do not have to read it. Ok he should not post spam - agreed. I don't know - does he spam a lot? Also he is is perfectly at liberty to try and protect (as he sees it) his "text" from copying - even though we can get around it easily by other means. That is not a cheek. Be fair now - is it.

A genuine go would surely mean content that wasnt drivel. Its just another spammer with some junk he found some place and didnt even read.

One would have to be naive to think javascript disabling prevented copyright infringement, and equally unrealistic to think such content worth effort to prevent copying.

His second time here that I can recall.

"Who Needs A Watch. Try guessing the time, you will be surprised."

That would go down well with watchmakers ... but then again, that is how the railways operate nowadays apparently!

I've not worn a watch for at least 10 years now

... but then, I've only taken one train journey this year

The best tip I've heard in DIY is get someone else to do it while I go down the pub.

I saw a bloke run over himself, today. No one would go to the shops for him, so he had to run over himself.

My coat's already on. :-)
