Anyone bought anything for their missus off one of the sponsored ads on this site?

I've never noticed any sponsored ads on this site, apart from the mention of the Tapatalk app and Murrin Media...
Is Adblock for Firefox even better than I thought?

Can anyone else believe it's 30 years (!) since the space shuttle Challenger blew up just after take off?

30 years.

I was 10 years old, on a greyhound bus with my family going across the Nullarbor with 40 deg heat and no air con, with people allowed to smoke on board back then when the news broke on the radio. The whole bus went silent punctuated by my brother and sister spewing into a bag from travel sickness.

Good times

Ha....not so hard when someone says "Where were you when....?"

I too, was 10 at the time and we were set to watch the replay of the launch at school as part of the solar system project we were doing. Fair to say the kids didn't get into the AV room that day.

Yep...I will never forget the smell of cigarette smoke and oranges as that was the snack of choice of the people behind us. We had to stop at the Ceduna hospital so my brother and sister could get injections to try and stop the spewing!

The ads are slowing this site down (the speed)

They're bloody annoying, yet at the same time i understand they pay the bills.

Just don't understand why we need so many though.

I remember my mum telling me and a school mate who was over at my house that it had happened. I was 12 at the time, and I reckon its was close to midday-ish. It seemed improbable at the time that something like the space shuttle could ever go wrong. I got up early to watch its maiden flight in about 1980-1981, and it was proclaimed as the duck's nuts for space exploration and travel (technical NASA lingo), the next model up from the rockets of the 60s and 70s.

I also remember my dad a few weeks or months later regaling us with a number of off-colour jokes recently acquired from work about the Challenger disaster.

what are you on about FC

There are two small ads on the right of the home page, and a small banner top and bottom when you go to a post. hardly too many, unless you have some sort of virus on your PC.

Dunno if thats the one, but there's adverts from some pretty skimpy (read: easily accessible) underwears

The funny thing is, the ads are generated by google and are usually based on your browsing history, so thanks for telling us what you have been searching for

There are ads?

I remember our teacher marching us in to the activity room with a few other classes to watch the take off, he felt pretty crap afterwards when we were asking what was going on.

So you're saying not everyone sees ads for "Madam Spank's Secret Naughty Boys Discipline Club"?

The ads are much tamer than my browsing history

I was at Magic Mountain (!) with some mates. We noticed a flag outside had been lowered to half mast and began making smartarse teenaged comments amongst each other: "oh look, some bugger has carked it".

Then I got home and turned the telly on ...

I also remember my dad a few weeks or months later regaling us with a number of off-colour jokes recently acquired from work about the Challenger disaster.

What were the last words heard on the transmission from the cockpit of the space shuttle?

"If she wants to drive, then let her have a turn"

That's better than the ones I heard. Things like "Q: What colour were Krista McAullife eyes? A: Blue. One blew that way, the other blew that way", or "Q: What classes does Krista McAullife teach? A: Well, she started out on science but now she's history."

I was speechless.....mind you I was only about 3 months old at the time....

Remembering reading the "Sunday Terror" on my way to play footy at Gardens Oval in Darwin with all the details on the disaster.
