A Well Known Phrase or Saying

Years before we moved to Ibiza, in the St. Helens of my youth, we used some odd expressions. One of my favourites concerned the mythical Duffy family, who unlike everybody else in Glass Town, seemed to have everything.


So, whining kids who complained, 'we've nobody to play with,' received the abrupt retort, 'go and play with Duffy's kids.' Similarly, a complaint about having no money was summarily dealt with by 'Duffy'll lend you some.'

Now, miles and years away from those days, and thanks to this young lady,













I'm still pleased to be able to say to Jaki's 'can we have some music in the car?' request, 'Aye, put Duffy's CD on!'

SOS SEO IBIZA

Ever since we rocketed to the top of the French Google charts with the unlikely search request about a buried dog in the sand at Sa Trinxa this blog has been entirely uninundated with any more French searchers. It seems that being number one in a niche market (of one, probably) doesn't automatically bring fame and fortune.

I need to mention something to bring more fashionably elegant big spenders flocking on to the site, but what on earth would Los Froggos be searching for?
'le plus cheap cafe au lait en Ibiza'
'vacances gratuites en Ibiza'
'un petit plat du jambon à partager entre 8 personnes en Ibiza'
Excuse my Franglaise, but that'll bring them here en masse!

I'm going to have to change my tack on the English language searches also. It would appear that the poptastic has beens resident on Ibiza - Noel Gallagher, James Blunt and Chas Smash - that I witter endlessly on about are also a niche market (of one, probably)

A gentleman called Eric Sonysson has surveyed a huge sample of pasty-faced spotty oiks studying A level Computer Technology and found that along with not being able to navigate themselves out of their darkened bedrooms to negotiate the purchase of 20 Rothmans, most of them have never heard of Ibiza's famous discos, djs or electronic dance music scene.

So just for them
