    All is upto Google what to pick and what not. you can restrict Google for picking description that is used in ODP (dmoz) and yahoo directory.
    Lead, follow or leave the way...

    Google will use the most relevant text in displaying your description within your SERP. This is normal, common and has been going on for some time now.

    Thanks so much guys. Now i've seen it I remember it from years ago - having never seen this happen to one of my sites until recently i totally forgot about it. You can use NOODP and NOYDIR. Ive added it to my homepage, see what happens on next crawl... cheers again.
