These bluenesses are scattered throughout the site, dotted through all the replies in the serious GT threads. Later green arrows promise me moneymaking opportunities beyond my wildest dreams. Interestingly, all sums mentioned are in sterling.
Direct access to both Firefox and Internet Explorer is now intercepted by something called "Dregol Search" but I can get to my bookmarked sites via email links and open fresh tabs from there.
I hope Alex is not inundated with spurious surveys and that someone can tell me how to get rid of this thing.
