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.

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.

Lhude sing cuccu! Groweþ sed and bloweþ med And springþ þe wde nu, Sing cuccu! Awe bleteþ after lomb, Lhouþ after calue cu. Bulluc sterteþ, bucke uerteþ, Murie sing cuccu! Cuccu, cuccu, wel singes þu, cuccu; Ne swik þu nauer nu. Sing cuccu nu. Sing cuccu. Sing cuccu. Sing cuccu nu! |

| 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. Philip Larkin |
