More funny refers

You might know that I religiously check my blog traffic statistics. I do it because I’m self obsessed- if I can figure out what people like then I’ll get more hits, boosting my ego-mania to Morrissey style levels. That’s why this blog is slowly turning into to a web 2.0 video sharing website full of dodgy mobile phone videos of gigs and American teenages miming to songs on webcam.
My hit counter allows me to discover where you, yes you, are coming from- I’ve got a regular reader at the BBC, and someone in the NHS- by this rate I should have most of the consonants by Christmas. I seem to be in the top MSN search results for “haircuts“- but this isn’t the strangest phenomenon that I’ve noticed.
For some reason, I seem to be getting a lot of hits from the United Arab Emirates and the Middle East in general for “lady boy”- presumably for this monstrosity. A lot of these are from image searches too. Oo-er.
Another hit that I’ve receieved recently has been someone in Saudi Arabia searching for “getting drunk”- presumably wanting to find out what they’re missing out on. And as the most perfectly average individual, I think my blog is the perfect place to explain one of the strangest aspects of western society and social conventions.
Someone at the Ministry of Defence has been looking for “pictures of Fun House with Pat Sharp“. Good to know you’re protecting the country during every working minute.
And finally, “Leicester Mercury Bastards“, was searched for by someone working for Northcliffe Newspapers, owners of… The Leicester Mercury. I don’t know about them being bastards, but they are cheapskates when it comes to building- rather than build some entirely new premises, they’ve just glued some shiny black panels on to the side of their existing building. Looks nice though.
