graham norton chocolate portrait

As usual I'm a bit perplexed and amused. What was the person searching for? I know exactly why that combination flagged my particular blog (I've referred on separate occasions to Graham Norton's show and a chocolate portrait of Vladimir Putin), but am at a loss to guess what the googler was hoping to find.

Ever the inquisitive soul, I entered the most random collection of English words I could think of on the spot. venus splurge kumquat gave a spectaularly disappointing return (only three sites found when I last checked). I had expected a plethora of lexicological sites and the odd bit of lesbo-citrus-porn. Nevertheless, it appears that somebody's stream of unconsciousness matches my own. This piece of unmitigated shite sounds like me after substantial quantities of gin and tonic.

And that dovetails delightfully into my final point. Hypatia and I met last night to imbibe some of the aforementioned beverage. A very pleasant time was had by both, although not enough was consumed to induce that kind of babble-bollox.
