Doh, and I just entered approx 650 advert/annoying partial URLs and IPs :)
Actually all I did was to paste/add the lines to my /etc/hosts file in the 
format:

 127.0.0.0 bogus.advert.url

and they no longer get loaded up here. I can't think why I didnt suss this out 
earlier, although being up half the night prob didn't help ;-)

Thanks anyway for the replies peeps :)
