Huzzah, hurrah and hip, hip hooray!
Right that's it, nothing to see here, move along please, haven't you got homes to go to?
Spot the "Oooh, I'm the 1st result on Google for anyhoo" response, followed by the embarrassment over exhibiting enthusiasm for anything.
Right, well, now that's done I can move onto more important things. Such as seeing how people find here.
Curious search term du jour: "wa wa woah" lyrics. What was the song they came from? And did they really want the Human League's "Don't you want me baby"? [Which I referenced here].
Puzzling search: signalling at roundabouts uk blog. So did they want a blog with that name, or where they trying to find out about signalling at uk roundabouts. If it's that latter then click here.
Desperate search: clippered. Start=300? Strewth. The first result on that page is summarised thus: ... Category: AVS > CyberSexNetwork > Men > Hunks. A Shaved Grunts Military grunts with crewcuts - all clippered and standing to attention. ... Wow, I appear to be the only result that isn't devoted to porn or fetishes [though maybe I should be?]. Nice. Got to love the one that carries the line dutch porn rape insect. Hey, you leave those beetles alone. I don't know what the VPN is on the gov.ie server, but someone there has too much time on their hands.
Someone at Bath Uni sought out this: oxford english use of apostrophe pural. Assuming they meant "plural". Use x's for singular nouns [like Greg, the school], except for it [it's is it is. Belonging to "it" is its. Bloody evolved language]. For possessive plurals the apostrophe goes after the ess [as xs' is a contraction of xs's, or xses, which would be too fiddly, and wet, to say]. For example: the cows' milk, when there are many cows, the books' covers. Remember plural nouns are treated as singular, that is, the marbles of the children would be the children's marbles. And only Google could claim there's such a construct as children's'. Before, after.
Obvious blog connection result: pub style picnic benches. You'll be wanting the 26th post here. And if you do buy a Homebase one, make sure to reverse the last two steps (it doesn't fit together otherwise).
One final thing. Newspaper syndicating their articles to other newspapers (see the SMH for hefty chunks of the Guardian and Daily Telegraph), is great. Except you've already read it, and didn't think it was worth publishing the first time round. Apropos of the Ali G thing in G2, which is a reprint of an NYT article. I'm surprised that character still has mileage in it, so seeing writing about it is even odder.
Anyhoo,
PS. Arseburgers. Blogger is down, and here's me in mid-blog. Drat, drat and double drat.
PPS. Whilst researching the link for the bench, I discovered I'm being quoted by All Consuming. Never even knew. Google says I'm also referenced by these people, but I can't see where [and it's in French, so I'm not going to try. I think it's search engine anyway, god knows what Google's doing].

Ay well.
Given that before hitting number one I was milling around the bottom of the page, I don't suppose it matters much.
Anyhoo,
