Internet Advertising
One thing that spoils Yuku, as with many sites, is advertising. For instance, unless you've blocked it, just above this you've got a quite possibly unwelcome box encouraging you to play flash advertisements. Do you want to stop these? Read on.


Firefox
Install the Adblock Plus add-on. It's free.

Internet Explorer 7
Download and install IE7pro2.2. This is also free! It does more than just block advertisements.


Many of you will already be blocking www.google-analytics.com. On Yuku it's a good idea to block edge.quantserve.com as it runs a script (quant.js) that significantly slows down or even stalls page loading.

Welcome! Fàilte! Croeso!

Death will take you before you change life

Forever changes

The Trees

The trees are coming into leaf
Like something almost being said;
The recent buds relax and spread,
Their greenness is a kind of grief.

Is it that they are born again
And we grow old? No, they die too,
Their yearly trick of looking new
Is written down in rings of grain.

Yet still the unresting castles thresh
In fullgrown thickness every May.
Last year is dead, they seem to say,
Begin afresh, afresh, afresh.
