The Frumplingtons

Feeling a bit adventurous recently, I decided to try using a different search engine. You know, different from ‘the Big G’ (i.e., G**gle, for those who are having a hard time working out which one I’m blathering on about).

So I thought I’d try ask dot com.

However, no sooner had I put in my search (for ‘knots’, if you must know) I was confronted by (horror of horrors)…

…a pop up!!!

Here’s a screenshot:

(The red underline bit is my own emphasis.)

Two things sprang immediately to mind:

1. Most web users hate pop ups. (Well known fact No. 1)
2. You want twelve minutes of my time? Twelve minutes? Even the Big G never asks for that. Sorry guys, but in less than 12 nanoseconds I’d already left your site. There are other search engines, you know.
