Simply Stu Can You Tell Goat From Butter?

Shebang!

Friday 26th May

You know you’re into Big Brother too much when you are the 5th hit in Google on a search for Shahbaz Chaudhry.

Oops.

And some other Google searches this week:

  • buy paneer in sainsbury - (1st hit!) - Yes, you can.
  • pinaudrés Loughborough - Oh yes, the French dance troupe I chanced across.
  • japanese characters appear as squares on my screen - Go and get the correct font which, if you’re using Windows XP is part of the ‘East Asian Language Pack’ in the languages part of the control panel.
  • writeable chinese letters - An interesting query. As far as I know, they’re all writeable, but are generally known as ‘characters’ not ‘letters’.
  • single wire car horn - I would have thought most car horns use a single wire, the other contact will usually be the body of the car - this is how most car electrical systems work, see ‘negative earth’.
  • petrichor - Great word!
  • leaf salmiakki - There are still plenty of searches coming in for pages which are now over here in the archive.
  • not getting a p60 from employer - Sorry, I can’t help. I received too many.

And we’ll finish today’s session with:

  • extreme stu - I’m not sure what they were expecting to find, but I hope they weren’t disappointed.
