Thanks for the link .. it addresses a part of the issue but I am still unable to set the 'permissions' so that 'block' is the default: and even when it is shown as block by default certain pages load images - sometimes? I have had some success by putting the BBC into the exceptions list to block them. Where the issue beats me is when everything is set for 'no images' yet i get smiling/scowling/ politicians pics. many thanks

You need one more addon that goes very well with Adblock Plus. No Script: http://noscript.net/ Use both of them. That should just do what you want.

Good luck.
