I get readers - accidentally

I've had an astonishingly lazy day - got up disgracefully late and read the newspapers until now. I'm not even awake enough to be angry about anything (except for the Gillette advert which uses the word 'refuel' to make using moisturizer 'macho' - which merely reinforces sexual stereotypes). Almost got me there  - but an ad for Star Trek has calmed the bile. 

I know the web is meant to reforge social networks - but how does someone in South Africa searching for 'West Midlands Limo Hire' get to my thoughts on Jade Goody?

Rather bizarre, did Jade Goody famously use a limo at any time before her death?

I have to ask, do you occasionally read the Independent as everyone I ask seems baffled once I mention it perhaps it's the reason it is in dire straits as my blog reflects on it's demise.

I respect the Indy but don' read it too often - been a Guardian reader for too long. Great design though.

Indeed and Sam Wilson perhaps the finest sports writer around. Shame they have to write with the Daily Mail staff now. I'd kill myself.

Dammit, I meant Sam Wallace not his counterpart at the Guardian who is equally interesting on occasion.
