Very annoying :-)

That was indeed very annoying! But a nice one :-)

Ah hadn't seen this post (wasn't sure whether it should be mentioned), just emailed phillip about it :P

First noticed it earlier today but had so many tabs open, I just put it down to one of those annoying adverts.

Dosn't quite have the same effect when your not running windows :)

It's driving me crazy, but is funny.

you *&^%* that totally got me yesterday. I was on facebook at the same time and I thought it might be a chat notification or something. Thanks a bunch for decreasing my productivity my quite a few minutes yesterday (:

haha, i had blogoscoped open in a browser tab, and I did a virus AND adware check becayse of the sound :
