A little tweak

The Son has returned from his trip to New Zealand and is more than ready for a few days of doing nothing. Little chance of that, given that Pattaya Days needs a tweak.

The “Recent Searches” box differed from the rest of the sidebar items in as much as there was not a “>” at the start of each line. Unacceptable, and only a matter of time before genuinej complained about it. So, dearest son, could you fix it?

Not only fixed it, but built a cool little widget that simplifies entering the searches. But wait. there’s more. Don’t know about you, but I often wonder what the weird search terms have thrown up, and how has Pattaya Days appeared in the mix. Well, now you can click on the search term and it will take you to Google and show you the results; neat. Thanks to The Son.

Nice facility - and one I’m sure I will use, given some of the peculiar searches that have apparently arrived at “Pattaya Days” in the past. Don’t need it for ‘purportedly magic jew’ though; after your link to that (how long ago?) I went through all David Thorne’s website in a couple of sittings. Hilarious stuff.

For the tweak, Thanks to ‘The Son’

Ah. Except, ah, it doesn’t seem to, like, you know, ah, sort of,ah, work.

Just clicked on ‘what’s wrong safety’ and was delivered to the search page for ‘what’ - with 6,090,000,000 results. Didn’t actually notice Pattaya Days on the first page.

Tried ‘phillipino nymphs’ and was equally unimpressed to be told by google that it was searching instead for ‘filipino nymphos’. The original searcher might have been shocked as well when he realised that Filipinos are blokes and Filipinas are girls.

I’m not even going near ‘bolton men in pattaya’

The idea is to let you see what sort of results people are receiving from these searches. Usually Pattaya Days is on the first page, sometimes it is on page 23, which indicates the perseverance or mental state of the searcher.

I can’t replicate phillipino nymphs problem. This is because: a: Your operating system sucks b: You are lying c: The Son fixed it

Definately [b].

Or not, should be fixed now. I told Google to ’nfpr’, which should ensure it don’t try to second-guess my demands.

What NFPR stands for is a mystery that I can’t be bothered to Google and solve. “Never F’ing Presume, Rat-bastard-search-engine” ..?

Probably [a], as I don’t have one of those ‘fruit based’ operating systems.

Making him earn his accommodation. I like it!

Another mystery - what is the significance of the new ‘W’ icon that now comes up in your tab heading? I have been puzzling over this for days.

Coincidentally, today I noticed the same icon is used by ‘what white people like’ site.

The W is for Wordpress, the default icon for a Wordpress site if you don’t set up your own icon. I used to have one, a ladyboy rampant on top of flaming pig, but it seems to have disappeared. I’ll get right on it.

I have now changed it, although it may still show the old one until your cache is cleared.
