Can someone explain why “Laurence Boyce” is so high (for the second week running) on the popular searches to get to LDV? I don’t think he has commented or written here for nearly a year has he? It’s bizarre.
Most intriguing. I have no idea.
I’ve also found that Laurence Boyce’s regular appearance in the Friday Five has attracted quite a cult following!
Oooh! Gosh! No! What an image! Can’t get it out of my head now 😀
Oops – good spot, now amended.
You know what that’s done to the result though…
