Depends on your browser.
For Chrome it's simple:
Click the three-bar icon upper-right corner and select "Settings"
Scroll down to the bottom of the page, and click "Show advanced settings..."
Find the "Privacy" section, and press the "Content settings..." button.
In the resulting dialog box, scroll down to the "Plugins" section.
Chose "Let me choose when to run plugin content", and click the Done button in the lower-right corner.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Depends on the website I visit. Not all of them are arrogant enough to show a text, and play a movie at the same time, thinking I'd be interested in both simultaneous.

The BBC goes one worse - there's an option to automatically play the next video, and no matter how many times you turn it off, it always resets when you load another page with a video.

Have you ever watched EastEnders? That's one example of where Brits make a crises out of a drama.

Why do they blur only some of the faces? Is it because they are suspected of causing the roof to fall? Perhaps one of them was 007?

They may well have been asked to do so by the owners of the faces in question.

That was a thought but with all the cameras you got in the UK how can one possibly be always checking to see if they are in video that has been publicized?

They blurred the two who were directly involved with what fell, presumably some potential legal issue further down the line.

Yes!
Well done, your turn tomorrow. To set a clue, not to resign, can you resign when you're self employed?

Well, I'm resigned to it, if that helps...

I started getting complaints about the structure not being exactly right for a true cryptic clue that you'd find in a newspaper so started adding that disclaimer each time I set one.

I would probably have told them TGFTs.

Since you ask, in American cryptic clues all words must count so linking words (as in 'of a' and 'leads to') would be unacceptable. In both UK and American clues the definition 'my departure' would be suspect as it does not quite match the answer properly - resignation is not the me in question. Of course that could easily have been avoided by simply excluding 'my'. There are other minor issues that might have led to this being rejected by a 'proper' crossword editor.
That said, it's probably not necessary to add a disclaimer. We do all kinda assume that some 'rules' will be bent if not snapped into a thousand pieces most days. I do occasionally mount my high horse as a professional setter but only if the clue is so messed up as to make the answer no more than guesswork.

2. It is always near...
