    You have to wonder about the quality of the algorithms used by internet advertisers when someone who achieved notoriety by getting sea-sick aboard a boat that was tied to the bank on the Thames finds himself inundated with adverts for cruises.

      Yes, they're not really that smart yet. If you use Google, you can see your ad profile in your account. It keeps getting my job and interests wrong. I suppose railway modelling leads to many seemingly unrelated searches!

      The thing that really irritates me is getting strings of adverts for exactly the same product that I've just bought.

      A slightly worrying variation on the theme that I've noticed is sudden gluts of adverts for things friends or relatives have just bought.  For instance, last year my brother bought a Porsche(!) and the internet spent the next six weeks deluging me with adverts for them.  At the other extreme, next door has recently made use of a Hippo bag and suddenly everyone wants me to have one.

      Big Brother is quite definitely watching us, and making notes.
