Hello Belgium

One fascinating thing about running your own website is that you can keep track of all your visitors. Every now and then when I have the off free moment, I find it interesting to do this: to check which sites are referring most visitors, to check whether links on other sites are being used etc. Sometimes some interesting but useless things crop up. For example, when I used to work at IVAC we realised that the CIA were a regular visitor to our website. I suppose they were really interested in the voluntary secdtor in Islington. Or they were so stupid they confused IVAC with IRAQ. They rhyme if you say it the American way. Obviously.

Which brings me to the fascinating fact that I seem to get a lot of visits from all over the world from people typing "toosh" into their search engines. I have absolutely no idea why they would do such a thing. My guess is they are looking for someting racy - but when they get to the toosh website are severely disappointed to discover nothing more exciting than this blog. Recent visitors have been from Italy, Japan, India, Holland and Belgium. Most fascinating is the thought of someone in Belgium typing "Gary Socrates London" into their search engine. Clearly a Cardiff City fan. There couldn't be any other explanation, could there?

Some people are strange.

Anyway, I found the above picture whilst looking for an image of Tintin, and given everything so far mentioned, I thought it worth putting here. Great isn't it?

Adding a comment a lot later on, more people come to this website because of the Tintin picture than anything else. How did that happen? I blame Google
