Googlewhacked in the face

After reading Dave Gorman's very good Googlewhack Adventure! I decided to find my own whack. I duly discovered naysay eggplant which I loved and cared for, for a number of weeks. The two words were found on one web page from a website covering 'ramblings on things no one cares about'. However, I was recently dismayed to find that this is no longer a Googlewhack. A second website now covers both 'naysay' and 'eggplant' on one of their pages, a messageboard for 4x4 nuts. This is extremely disappointing.

Say 'nay' to coffee and alcohol

My New Year resolutions for 2005 are going well -- all 13 days of them. I don't normally make them, but I wanted the challenge of giving up coffee and alcohol for the entire month of January. I don't drink copious amounts of alcohol, except for the odd session, so it's a fairly easy vice to temporarily give up. Likewise, I don't binge-drink coffee. The only hassle about omitting both from your daily life is the lack of choice it creates. When in a pub, you're limited to fizzy drinks or orange juice. Anywhere else, and you're faced with tea, or, if you're lucky, hot chocolate, as a coffee alternative.

As I am enjoying the challenge, I reckon I'll give up two things a month, throughout 2005. Any ideas are gratefully accepted.
