Self Googling

[Willie M]

Read and article in the paper recently about 'self googling'. Basically means looking up your own name on Google and seeing what results you get.

Discovered that I have a restaurant in Memphis :approve:, breed Rough Collies down in Ayrshire, played cricket for South Australia between 1877-78 :eek: and owned a chemists shop in Pollockshaws road in the early 1900's. The real me appears in some Mini Clan related stuff.

Go on, have a go ;)

"Colin Wilson is a thinker who, perhaps more so than any other writer working today, embodies the true spirit of what is called the "Renaissance man"

[GAJ]

I am an Associate Professor of Music at Northern Kentucky University; a really bad 'artist' from Penn Yan, New York (topless Kate Moss, anyone?) and an RV (which I believe is American for caravan!) salesman employing my handsome sons, Aaron and Kirk, with the catchy strapline - 'imagine what you can see in a Gary Johnston's RV!' I think they mean 'from' rather than 'in' unless they are really into faux wood formica and orange and brown draylon!

I am also dead, and commemorated by the 'Gary Johnston Memorial Bluebonnet Tour...where Triumphs, MGs and lesser cars go on a run featuring the painted churches of Fayette County':I

I did this a few years ago, and found my name in a (fiction) book.
I E-mailed the Author in the US, and asked them why they chose my name for the character, and recieved a very nice e-mail back explaining their reasons.

I'm also Sports Person of the Year for Miami State High School (1980), and a Sous Chef in a Top New Zealand Resturant :)
