Default Anyone else got bad thread loading times since the double adverts?

Since Stu left I've noticed that we have double adverts for MSD and their magnetic drain plugs but the 2nd one that loads must be quite large because it's slowing down the page loading time every time I open a new thread

Anyone else got it and fed up with it?

the real question is why the fuck have we got even more advertising on a site we fucking pay for anyway? Is it to pay for it to be realiable, like all the free sites are?
