Give it a try and post 3 other people that have your name and what the results are about..


1. an article about a basketball team winning a silver medal. one of the players has the same name as me.
2. a facebook profile.
3. a sex offender in florida .

its pretty scary sometimes what google can return.. but also interesting to see what others that have your name are on the internet about =]

I am the only person on the planet with my name, which is nice to know, but I typed my name into google yesterday and it gives all my work details so if kp mike wants to know where I am between 9-5 Monday to Friday then its not to hard to find me. :lol:

My top 3.

1. My twitter account. (I don't use it - I just got it so no one else could.)
2. My mate's twitter account with a link to my twitter account.
3. A friend from college's myspace page with my name on it.

My name is pretty unique...

Most of the results for my name are about christmas cards, though there is one link that is about me which is a blog post about some PHP code.

Apparently I'm a Professor of Modern European History in Leeds, was Bishop of Buckingham until 1994 and am an underused television stunt man who only ever had one gig in 2002.

If I use my full name: No results found for "_____________".

If I use my shortened name I get a fair bit, including the EDL dissing me on their racist little forum. Their forum's funny, because they're a shitty little organisation they can't afford proper hosting so when they bang on about pakis, mozzies and n!ggers they end up with Google sponsered adverts for Asian dating websites :lol: :lol: :lol:
