Twink draws in the crowds
Yesterday was a very quiet day on the Interweb.
But I was browsing through my stats this morning and came across this.
Now what the hell could cause such a peak after ten in the evening?? Had somebody Stumbled something? Had the word spread about Grandad’s genius?
No.
My top search term for all of yesterday was “zip up your mickey”.
Now, last night I was very tired. Herself has the flue or something so neither of us was up to much. I flicked into “Tubridy Tonight” to see who he was interviewing and it was that old slapper Twink. And Tubridy asked her about the infamous phone call. So obviously people wanted to hear it. And I happen to have written about it.
Good old Twink. She may be a slapper and way past her sell by date,
but she can still draw in the crowds.
Ha ha! That’s brilliant. Well spotted. I thought I was the only one to watch T.V. and browse the web at the same time.
Robert – Actually, as soon as I saw she was on, I switched off! I can’t stand her. But I never dreamed that I would get extra traffic as a result!!! I just had to laugh.
This happened to Damien too, actually, a while back, I seem to remember. She seems to be the ticket to big traffic spikes.
😆 Yes. Just found it! Maybe we should start a joint blog – Grandad Mully: The Menopause?
Shouldn’t that read, “The Men of Pause” ?
or maybe, “The Men of Paws” ?
Something very similar happened to me over the past few days which peaked yesterday. A huge peak for that matter when bounced against my usual average amount of visitors per day and it was all due to a rather obese rodent.
It never occurred to me that the closer we got to Groundhog Day was the (almost) sole reason my numbers were steadily increasing with a rather huge peak yesterday. The ironic thing about it was it was last years post getting all the attention…go figure. Okay, so the picture of the fat rodent was kinda cute but not that cute that it was downloaded umpteen times. Anyway, it will be good to get back down to my usual sparse numbers. I’d hate to become popular ’cause then I’d have to actually write quality content.
Brianf – You probably aren’t aware of the reference there. Twink is currently touring with her production of “Menopause The Musical”. Personally, I’d say she is having to delve into the depths of her memory for that one! 😉
KirkM – I suppose it picked up on last years post because it was there first. I have found that also. It’s a damn good idea though – pick on an event long before it happens and write about it and then get hammered on the big day!
But then, you don’t want to write quality content. Do you?
I’ve just had the misfortune of turning on the T.V and seeing the replay of that lunatic on the Turbidity show. She is off her head!
“Partying in Vegas with Elvis.” WTF?
After a minute I couldn’t take it anymore and I flicked up the channels and TV3 are showing the Superbowl! The second quarter just started, Someone scored a touch down in 2 seconds. everyone stood around for 5 mins and then someone kicked a ball over some post and with just 3 seconds gone everyone just ran off the pitch!
Seriously, what the hell is that game about? They even have cameramen on the pitch! It was actually so bad that I had to change back to Turbidity again but Twink was gone.
Of course I gave up on T.V altogether so now I’m venting here! Thanks GD! I feel better now.
Robert – I did warn you! And anyone who even flicks through TV3/Tallaght TV deserves all they get. I wouldn’t watch that channel if it was the only one. It’s all Americana and very long ad breaks. So you don’t get any sympathy from me!
“Thanks GD! I feel better now”
Sure, isn’t that what I’m here for?
Grandad,
You and I may have stumbled on another one of those secrets of blog success. “Pre-blogging”! If I didn’t have a cat perched on my shoulder at the moment I’d elaborate further. Have to wait until tomorrow then.
Ah good ould Twink.. ya can’t call her boring anyways!
Loads of my visits come from people googling ‘crazy britney spears’ or ‘fake babies’ (a channel4 documentary). Well when I say loads, I mean about 50% of my whole 10 visits a day probably hehe.
Annie – I have called Twink many things, and I can’t say that ‘boring’ was one of them. And you should know by now that the only thing people look for on my site is Porn!!!
I really liked the outfit Twink had on her on the Tubidity show any chance u can find out where she got it thanks.
Dorothy – In all fairness, how the hell would I know? She probably got it in Oxfam.
