OK then, here we go....earlier on I had a look at the statistics and figures for the blog and the download agencies I use on here and came up with some interesting stuff [define 'interesting'! ED] I promised various things if we made a few targets and I may as well start the ball rolling here......we have some interesting figures

Given that I don't even know what 'Opera' is nor do I listen to it unless it can't be helped, I find this fascinating

  This amuses me greatly, nearly 50 people accessed the site by iPad! 11 by iPod! An astounding 127 people accessed the pages by Blackberry! Somewhat more disappointing less than half the number of folk accessing via Windows browsed via Apple Macs! :o) Ha ha ha ha ha............... 
             
  So in tribute to these salient and pertinent (If staggeringly dull ED) FASCINATING results I have posted several new Bob Dylan boots....Where?........Over on the Dylan page where else?
  Boogie on Reggae Chillun'
