Does anyone else get a periodic rendering of Jingle Bells or the sound of a ticking clock while on GR? It happens to me about once every three days and I find it pointless and irritating. :-|

Listen you lot.
If Malcolm´s potty, then so am I. It´s been driving me mad for weeks. It´s mainly on this site, although I do occasionally get it on others. (Have it at the moment & I´ve only just come on the site) It´s as Malcolm says, completely random. :-P :-P :-P :-P

Are you sure it's not 'him' on the roof? :-0


Dare I ask........which browser are you using? runs>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Do you work for Genes Island.
Don´t know about Malcolm but I am using Windows7 & the latest update from Firefox (can´t remember the number). I´ve de fragged, crap cleaned & run my virus detector, all to no avail. I think for a few days that it´s gone, then damn me it´s back again. If I go back to a previous page from the one I´m on, it goes away.
Anyway, I´m luckier than Malcolm. I don´t just get Jingle Bells & the clock, I get American police car sirens as well. (Been watching too many cops & robbers programmes).
If it´s him on the roof & he´s bringing me pressies, fine. I´d like that. ;-)

I got the impression it was GR as it only happens on here. I have headphones plugged in but laid aside so the "tick tock" first time made me think there was a bomb in the room! I think it kicks in when there's a delay in loading a page.

You´re right 5EXY. Caught myself whistling it in the lift down to the garage!
