Borzoi · 19-09-2002 09:39AM

Using the short version of my first name, which I use mostly, 135 results and I'm 2 and 5.

But no 1 is a US DIY suppliers, no 2 , is an Aussie Surfing Memorial Carnival - which I have to investigate.

Using long first name, 1 in 3 - and none are me!

DapperGent · 19-09-2002 09:49AM

The first 2 of 172 were me.

All the others were weirdos.

First match was my old college website. It's the trashiest website in trash town. What am I still doing with that userspace? I can still login and everything. Weirdos.

seamus · 19-09-2002 10:07AM

615 - none me

Used Google.ie for more personalized results. Plus my name is very Irish anyway.

Turned up pages on:

A Longford Hurler,
A very active member of iiu.taint.org in 2000,
Some guy in UL who has written a *lot* of papers about computers

Funny, considering I'm a member of IIU now, and do computer science. (I also played hurley when I was wee, but who didn't?)
