Deleting pages from Google cache

Using Google Webmaster Tools to submit a URL removal request you have to make sure that you get the url correct.
I copied and pasted some and the text was in "unicode" not in actual text - the consequence was that the request expired:

This was evident by the observation that it the "expired" removal was re-copied from the "removed" list (above) the unicode was shown in the new request.

Another new request was made copying from the SERP and checking that the message when the request was entered was in plain text not unicode characters.

The request should have been for http://www.tempusfugit.ca/techwatch.ca/internal.html

I left the request above in the list - showing that it was "pending" to see if it expired again. The other expired requests were re-submitted.
