Smoking Still Kills…

January 31, 2008

Smoking Kills – Never!

January 30, 2008

I smoke about twenty five per day and have done mostly for about 30 years. I keep trying to stop, trying being the pertinent word. Once I stopped for 18 months then I started again when I found out I had colitis – as I though stupidly it would help the colitis go [...]

AerLingus has recently started to aggressively sell insurance every time you now buy a flight.

Monday Again – Smoking?

January 14, 2008

Indexing Problems

January 13, 2008

I have started a website a few months ago Blueberry Recipes and have been driven mad by it and therefore ended up leaving it with little done. So who or what is driving me mad? Google as usual. In sitemaps they tell me that they are not able to access the urls – [...]
