    If You're Bored... #2

    Stealing xpatUSA's idea and adapting, enter your real name into Google and report the first three occupations of people who aren't you. You need to put "Your Name" with the quotes or Google will split the names up after a while. I got 8000 references to my name.

    I got a musician poet, a business CEO and a kidnapper/murderer. :shock:
    Not me, honest!

    I have a pretty common name, I don't want to think how many pages you'd have to trawl through before you actually found me...

    I got:

    Website designer
    MP and businessman
    Professor of Computer Science

    Not exactly exciting!

    I have discovered a crowd of my namesakes since registering my name as a .com web domain (2 of the above 3 plus a maths teacher in Canada, a bank manager in Australia and an oil tanker captain amongst others).

    An accountant (also based in Bristol) spells his name 1 letter different to mine - and regularly get his mis-addressed emails. They make highly entertaining reading...

    Regards
