"koded, you might be causing google to "customize the results" to your "search history" and this is why what you are seeing pertains to you only. i have been noticing that as well, then I go to a different proxy and it evaporates..."

"If that different set of results has a much lower count, you might be seeing a SERP with no supplemental results in it..."

Strider/G1smd.. hi. good explanations both of them. pity i didn't count the the number of results though when i had the chance. doh!

I do believe this is more than me getting a different set of results personally. I saw another relevant page of mine ranked highly which never has been previously! I've checked through several proxies here in the UK and everything is consistent, except for that single time i saw different results about an hour ago. i havent been able to replicate this yet,
