Last August, 5,527 souls stumbled onto this site; most searching for Pattaya Pussy and being disappointed. This August, the total currently stands at 23,518, which is a ridiculous figure for something so inconsequential.

The Art in Paradise post is substantially responsible again, and I have taken advantage of its popularity by inserting an extra line in the post: “For more information, it is important that you watch this video right till the end, thank you.” “This video” is linked to the documentary about cancer in Fallujah, referred to in another post and I feel worthy of as wide an airing as possible. Not exactly Wikileaks, but makes me feel better.

Another contributor to the high visitor count has been an avalanche of interest in my Olympus lens review. I should complain about someone shamelessly providing links to this site in the DPReview forums; but as that someone was me I’ll stay quiet about it.

Surely Spike, it is time to monetise your visitor count by slapping “Ads by Google” in every spare space, between posts, even between sentences within posts? An exclusive arrangement with Thai Sweety Girl dotcom, offering honest, truthful girls looking for someone to love, no I never worked in a bar and I don’t have that many tattoos? How about a forum, where people who have lived here for twenty years can bitch about how terrible it is living in Thailand, whilst making no obvious effort to sod off where they came from?

Nah, can’t be arsed. Still, if we hit 30,000 I may have to consider the establishment of private video chat rooms. “Fifteen minutes alone with a pussy in a box – Only $25. No refunds.”
