It's because SC didn't use the correct punction for the abbreviation of Dr. If he had, then it would have been found in the search.

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted November 14, 2015 Marginally relevant but... Parkinson's case Linda Ronstadt is the subject of today's free download at Mr Weird and Wacky (where the focus in mainly on the strange Silk Purse album cover that pits her pert and hot-panted body against some live adult pigs). Either way, it's here: http://mrweirdandwacky.blogspot.co.uk/?zx=35c24926ba182f14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know you're deeply impacted by this repost. Try not to lose too much sleep over it. I do have to stand by wildstorm here. The search engine is flawed. Sometimes I search for a topic with the name in the title. The results I get gives me a lot of random clutter and the topic I want to find is buried at page three. This should be the top result. And many times, just like in wwildstorm's case, you don't find a result anyway. A single misprinted character yields a misfire whereas Google succeeds in finding a topic. Don't blame wildstorm, blame the search engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The gist of said conversation being our mutual horror when you actually look back at the depressing tonnage of utter shite - Brotherhood of Man, Pussycat, JJ Barrie, Bacarra etc. etc. - that made #1 whilst the Pistols, Clash and their ilk were revving up to change the world.
