Seriously, Google is getting kind of uppity.
First, I have a search that included, as a keyword, the word "appropriate". Which returned results with the note that the search did not include the word "appropriate", would I like to see the results that did?
YES. THAT WAS WHY I PUT IT IN MY SEARCH QUERY.
Second, you have the part where a search using the word Finnmark is heavily polluted with results that feature "Finn" followed by "Mark", as separate words - generally references to Huckleberry Finn and Mark Twain.
Because, apparently, Google thinks that I don't know to put spaces between words, and couldn't possibly genuinely mean the word Finnmark.
That's really not a call I'm in favour of search routines thinking it's their place to make. If I enter Finnmark, I expect results about Finnmark. If I enter "appropriate", I expect the default result set to USE THAT AS A SEARCH TERM.
Google really needs to know its place.

So, on the 10th of September (so says the file dating), Chas and I were passing through town when I spotted an odd sight. As I exclaimed to Chas: "There are mans on the building!"
So I pulled out my camera, and then my telephoto lens, to take pictures of the mans.
In case anyone's wondering at the tendency for my pictures to have the slightly odd dimensions of 475 pixels in one direction and 713 in another: that's a 15% resizing/resampling from the base image size my camera takes.
