Hmmm … that’s possibly useful.
It seems Facebook’s announced that you can now block a certain type of advert on their site.
Specifically?
Alcohol related ones.
That’s appealing: especially for a non-drinker like me.
Granted, I’ve got AdBlock Plus enabled on my desktop: and have had for years.
But only on the desktop.
Frankly?
It’s possibly something to tinker with, on my mobile devices … !

And a song about crockery …
Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.
Have a good day.
* Actually, that reminds me, Olga: I’ve got Siri on my AppleTV. I’ll have to make more use of the thing. At least to get to some of the joke replies programmed into the thing! (I always feel ambiguous about Kindles!)
† OK, Debbi, I’ll keep my eyes open for the post!
Q1) The Lord of the Rings
ReplyDeleteQ2) The Silmarillion
Q3) Bilbo Baggins
Q4) Invisible
Q5) Treasure
I had Siri on my old iPhone but never got on with her (it?)
I also have the Adblock installed on my computer but you're reminded me I should get it on my phone too. ;)
Interesting that you feel ambiguous about Kindles. Is it e-readers you don't like or Kindles in particular? I have a Kobo and a Kindle, and the Kobo tends to hold its charge longer.
ReplyDeleteBut I still love reading print books! It's a different experience. A better one!
1. The Lord of the Rings (The Fellowship of the Ring was the first in the trilogy)
2. The Simarillion
3. Bilbo Baggins
4. invisible
5. treasure
I've never seen The Hobbit, but I read it. I also read LOTR in high school and, eventually, watched all three movies.
I was also a BIG fan of C.S. Lewis and the Narnia Chronicles, in particular.
Please do check out the "Dunkirk" review. It got several "likes", which is nice! :)
