Google Ads Cat’s Eye Love

By 6000 | 6000 | April 3, 2010

Since my excitement over the wonderful new road-based traffic lights in Lower Buitengracht, my google ads (subtly placed all over the site for your clickthrough delectation) have been going crazy for all things cat’s eyes.

By 6000 | 6000 | March 19, 2010

After this bit of apparent FIFA silliness, I have decided to relaunch 6000 miles… We are now The Unofficial National Blog of the You-Know-What   Just don’t tell Sepp, ok?
