I'm so happy!!! I finally killed her!!!

My team may be out of the T20 and I'm snowed under with work beyond human endurance - but I am dancing with joy. After a year of enduring her smarmy smile every day of my life, I finally got rid of Marianna...

Sorry Mynah, I don't get it. Was Marianna a character in a book you're writing/ you've written?

How did she die, choking?

No, she is a public figure, the first ever winner of a million rands on the local online casino, or so the ad says. So they have her sunny smile popping up virtually every time you click on a link on my news server. (One would think that it is not great publicity for them if they look like they'd had just one winner in a year...)

Quite often, when you click on a link, ONLY the ad comes up. I was thinking of changing my server because of it - but then I discovered Adblock. Just a right click, and she was gone - forever, I hope.

You can download it here - but probably only if your browser is Firefox.

Thanks for explaining Mynah. Looking forward to South Africa's series in Pakistan? I hope it's a good one (and decent umpiring is witnessed).

How much is a million rand in sterling?

Wha' ?
Is the rand getting stronger?!

Just checked - got her and her successor blocked a total of 109 times since getting Adblock. That's one of the nicest things about it - you're able to see just how much you're missing.
