WordPress has a facility which tells me the search terms people have used to find this blog. I’ve just had a look at the list, and I am in roughly equal measure pleased, entertained and baffled by it. The top ten, edited to remove near-synonyms, looks like this:
- Fail
- Barack Obama’s mother
- London smell
- Scary playgrounds
- Zed Police Academy
- Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre
- Palestra
- Margate
- Young Bono
- Earthquake ball
It’s good to know that I am the go-to person for each of these things. The “Fail” searches were all last year, but there were a lot of them. The people looking for “Barack Obama’s mother” are a steady trickle, and I hope, but doubt, that they find what they wanted here. Of course, I have skewed their results even further in my favour now with this post. Sorry.
