Amazingly cheap thrills at a good rate

Wow. I never cease to astound myself. A rather tragic little story follows; be prepared for the hideous punchline!

Anyhow, you've all heard of googling for yourself? Ego-googling? Where you type your own name into Google and see whether you come up, and it's a good place to start for namesake-hunting in a Dave Gorman type fashion (who people say I resemble in many ways - but more on that story later). Well, I've done this before, and know already about some of the guys, and had decided to blog about them here with useful links - just in case anyone came here looking for them. There's a local activist in the Highlands, for example, and a Prof (at southampton!) of some oceanographic science or other, and a rising star on the college basketball circuit in the states, and a medical student somewhere in New England - reassuring to note that there's no psychos or rapists amongst that lot (which could just mean that I'm the weirdo). All well and good. Perfect material for a random blog entry, but first I needed to check up on them again.

In goes my name into the search engine....*cue the slow motion sequence* Make that quick stab with three fingers at the enter key that you always use when you want to do something decisively....and up come the results. BANG. Wow! There's ME as the first entry in Google! And how AMAZINGLY chuffed to bits I am by this! And yet, how terminally, terminally sad and tragic......I'll get over it eventually.....
