Ed's Blog - 7th July 2010

[AB Editor]

Dear AnswerBankers,

Summer is rolling in nicely around these parts and I thought it was time for a blog post (or two).

For those of you that remember our less than stellar review in Web User Magazine BibbleBub has produced versions of our returning letter to peruse (see below).

For those of you partial to a bit of a quiz, here is the Q&P round-up for July: http://www.theanswerb...s/Question914016.html

We've also started up a twitter for Quizzes & Puzzles: http://twitter.com/answerbankqandp - if any of you are on twitter it might be worth you following?

We also had a few users complaining about some problems with the AB adverts - we've contacted the advertisers and they've pulled a couple of malfunctioning banners. We believe this should have fixed the problems some of you having - let us know if you find this not to be true!

All the best

Everything is working better for me now Ed. Was having problems on occasions as some of the Ads were making my PC sluggish ! Good spot on your behalf Ed...

[AB Editor]

I think you can thank the friendly ABer's who reported it to me. Took us a long time to work out which ads were doing it though - sorry!

"I'll admit it. Shopping for a personal tank can be a bit daunting. Many times in the past I've purchased overpriced, so-called "battle tanks", then driven them into battle only to be wrecked in ten minutes by the first blow off of some insurgents home-made morter."[sic]

''I'll keep this short and sweet. We ordered one of these rabbits for our children this Easter and boy what a surprise. It is NOT a living rabbit. Someone has killed this rabbit and skinned it.''

The child testing one... fab:

The product description reads: Test Product, do not purchase. Such is the first test. The first in a series that will completely obliterate your body and soul, in order to manufacture you into an omnipresent, pan-dimensional being. The price is paltry, for as a omniscient being existing in all dimensions you will have no real need for money. The Parent Child Testing Product's name is misleading, for the Parent is the universe, the Earth is the Child, and the Testing Product, of course, will be what you become.

Pros: Elevates user to higher plane of existence
Cons: Not particularly affordable to mortals
