Strange Searches

I’ve done this type of thing before, but remain amazed at the ongoing results from searchers of things on the Internet wot end up here. So here here are some of the stranger and more persistent search strings used by people in order to find this furtive and exclusive blog in the recent past. Some of them really do have me wondering…

Tollgate how to destroy tollgate
It's probably furious Salik victim Half Man Half Beer. Whoever it is, they're obviously looking for hints and tips on how to make your own Salik-beating RPG or something…


Aquafina water horror
Quite a few people have come by to the Aquafina post. I’m glad. I hope more see it.


Fake spring water
Fake Plastic Chickens
Fake Chicken
It seems that you get directed here by Google if you search for pretty much anything fake. I’m not sure how to take that… I am consistently amazed by how many people get here searching for Fake Plastic Chickens. They must all be terribly disappointed when they get here. So, because I'm a cutie really, here’s a link for all you fake plastic chicken seekers!


Metallic sea-green truck

I am really not sure what’s going on here, but I reckon if you can’t find one of these in the Sharjah car souk, you’re done for. I once bumped into a Detomaso Pantera there, BTW. Amazing thing to find in a hot dusty Gulf backroad...


Camps naked
Spare a passing thought for Nigel the Newbie Nudist, searching away for some furtive fun and getting a daft post from me instead…


Syria acid attack irish girl souk
Russian girl face slash
These are the two most worrying ones, particularly the latter (as I’ve reported before), which really unsettles me because of its frequency – whoever you are…


Yes but no but yes
I can only imagine its Matt thingy searching for himself…


Pink pepper tabloid Gulf News
I like that one. It’s got something hippy 1960s Syd Barrett lyric to it… I wonder what the hell the searcher was looking for?


Russian girls in Dubai
You have to SEARCH for them?


Burj Dubai Tilting
Burj Dubai Collapse
Shame on you! It’s not collapsing – it’s a great step for mankind!!!


Blue fig basil fakes
Had to add this recent one. I cannot begin to wonder what the eagerly anticipated result was supposed to be...

I wouldn't worry about the face slash one - it's probably someone looking for news about the attack a few months ago on a girl in Dubai, as opposed to someone wanting to find out how to slash someone themselves :)

Alexander: it wasn't me, honest guv. Anyway as any fule nose a step ladder and can of spray paint should do the trick!

Chris: I posted on that attack, which is why people get here with the search string. What worries me is that I get at least one person a week searching for 'Russian Girl Face Slash' and/or some variant. That could be a very extended and concerned family... someone who needs to discover NetVibes or Sage or the like...

Or something darker...
