I get a load of mature dating ads. Bizarre, as I'm married, not remotely interested, and don't surf dating sites or Google 'dating' etc.

I keep getting slimming at the top and bras at the bottom.
I keep wondering if they’re suggesting that I’m getting so fat my moobs need support?

Some might also argue with the 'mature' bit...

If you have deleted your browsing history, the ads can become random.

I rarely see adds on my desktop, but I do see a few on the tablet and phone.

I still get the ones that are clearly targeted at my browsing history, and the ones that are clearly just on the site, it's just that this is the first time I've seen bras and it seems a little incongruous.

At least that's a specific website. Just the word 'Bras' seems a bit generic to me.

First one comes with a "Click Here For More Information" at the side. Either holiday or exercise classes.

Then I hit the back button and

Shouldn't it be without sugar or milk, or can you have milk but no sugar?

I get ones targeted at my browsing history. At the moment it is all tents and camping equipment. Last year, when i was redoing my bathroom, i got an endless stream of toilets.
Had a slightly disturbing moment a few months ago. I was teaching a class and wanted to show a world population counter. I googled one and put it on the screen. It popped up surrounded by adverts for cycling gloves. I was on my school log in which i have never used for personal browsing. How did google know? (Could have been alot worse!!!)

Looking at this thread reminded me of the time I bought something at B&Q with my debit card and got home to find the first advert I saw on the computer was for that product, clicking off this thread to see new posts I look at the top the screen and there is an advert for B&Q.
