I still do not own a car yet, but I have been thinking about buying one soon. Since I live in the countryside and work a little with farming it would be practical for me to get a car that can be used off the road. A LandRover would fit my needs pretty good.
A website that sells Land Rovers is Guy Salmon Land Rover which have a big selection (over 300 in stock) of both new and approved used Land Rovers. They are selling all the current UK models from Land Rover in dealerships across the UK.
On the website you can browse their selection by model, what state the car is in (new, approved pre-owned or demonstrator vehicle) and the price range.
The used vehicles they are selling have been prepared and inspected by Guy Salmon Land Rover. You also get a warranty on the used cars. The warranty varies a bit by how old the car is.
There should not be any worries about the quality on the used vehicles.

In the last few years whenever I go traveling I always check online websites to find the cheapest tickets and fares with the most convenient travel times. For me this has been much easier than finding tickets by telephone or visit travel agencies that are not online.
Lowfares.com is a bit different than regular travel agency websites I have previously used by that on Lowfares.com you search several different travel portals to find cheap tickets. They offer an easy way to search for cheap flights, cheap hotels, car rentals and vacation packages from multiple sites.
Here is how it works: You choose if you want a hotel room, an air ticket or car rental (vacation packages has a bit different kind of system). Then you state the days you want to search for and the places you want to travel from / to. At the end you choose which merchants you want to compare against each other and then you are free to select the best option for you.
Lowfares.com also offer a service where you sign up via email to get exclusive hot deals directly into your email in box.
The concept that this site is running seems like a very good alternative to regular travel agencies as a way to find the cheapest tickets on the marked.
When I travel abroad I always make sure to have some good travel insurance to protect myself from various situations that may occur. You never know when your luggage might be stolen, you get sick or if you get yourself into an accident. In situations like these travel insurance is a must for everyone.
When you get over a certain age regular travel insurance will not cover you or cost much more. Then you can look into getting a more specialized travel insurance that is more suitable for you.
A company that offer exactly this is Cover My Travels. They have a policy called Over 65 Travel Insurance that suits older people that want to travel. This insurance is for people between 65 and 79 years old for single trips, and if you are going on multiple trips it covers people between 65 and 69 years old.
Getting an insurance like this seems like a good idea if you are a traveler over 65.
When I started blogging, a bit over a year ago, I soon stumbled across the SEO (search engine optimization) term and among the SEO advices were adding your site to web directories. Since I wanted to get my blog listed in search engines like Google and Yahoo as fast as possible I started to add the blog to web directories. The reasons to add your blog or regular website to web directories are many and here are my personal two main reasons to use web directories:
1. Link back
When you add your site to a web directory you get a back link and this will make your site more visible on world wide web. Back links are also important for Google Pagerank as the amount and quality of back links to your site determine the Pagerank you will get. Thus adding your site to web directories will get you more back links.
2. Traffic from web directories
I actually get quite a deal of traffic from various web directories. This traffic both comes from people using search engines (finding my site via the web directories) and people browsing the web directories directly.
I would definitely advise all blog owners to add their site to a free website directory or two. Who doesn’t want more traffic and back links?

As a male knitter people sometimes think that I am gay as knitting is still seen as very feminine and not very manly.
Although I am not gay I support the gay and lesbian communities out there 100% and I think we need to fight against all the stupid prejudice that is still out there.
In my country (which is Norway) we have come a pretty far way in the fight against prejudice and the government will soon make gay marriage legal. About time, if you ask me!
But there is still much work to be done so the gay and lesbian communities got my solidarity.
In other countries the situation for gays and lesbians might be different. The internet can be a great way to fight prejudice and in Romania there is a blog called Gay Romania that writes about gay and lesbian issues.
One thing that Gay Romania write about is the Gay Fest 2008. Gay fest’s are a great way to celebrate the gay lifestyle.
Another thing that Gay Romania writes about is a contest called Miss Travesti. Like the name of the contest inclines this is a Miss contest for transvestites. From the pictures on the blog it seems like the “beauty queens” are judged not only by looks, but also how they dress and sing.
Looks like a lot of fun 😉
