Googling your name - for comp wins

Oh dear. I'm a murderer, a newspaper editor who's won lots of awards, written a controversal book, spy, surfer, martyr, economics professor, ballet teacher, musician. Didn't know I had the time!
However, there's so many, that searching for my name is a waste of time!0 -
Well what a surprise. I was shot dead at the age of 8 in West Sussex and then went on to win the Red Hot regional snooker tournament by potting a 'sweet' black ball in Cambridge. All well and good considering this all happened in 1963 and 1970 respectively. Wasn't born until late 70's so I've done well!

When I google my name I just bring up comps I know I won and got prizes for ages ago, but I still check at least once a week!
However I am also an American actress who has a profile on web based Talent portfolio site and have played such roles as a nurse and drug addict. I appear to like my portfolio pics taken in my underwear0 -
I'm an Oceanographer or Marine Biologist and wrote an article about Roast Potatoes
Oh I'm also a Hairdressing Lecturer & A Gap Year Consultant

I love googling my name as there is someone with the same name who works for one of the Health Authorities who has written some very clever sounding books and co-written some papers that are on university reading lists. I've written a lovely review of my time in S.W. Cornwall - despite having never been there! But I enjoyed it! And I've got a Bristol Facebook profile thing, all written in German, with a lovely edited pic of Wonderwoman as my profile pic!
No murders or Pullitzer prizes though. And only a couple of comp wins that I already knew about anyway!
I had never thought to google my username! Doh!!! Off to do it now. If I've won anything, I'll be back - so probably won't be back!
Edit: no comp wins with username, but I've got a rather nice restaurant in Chicago that you should all visit - here!If you have nothing constructive to say just move along.0 -

I regularly google my name, the same old sites crop up. One day a different one appeared, thought woohoo that looks promising - It was a really explicit !!!!!! site (with moving pictures i might add). Nearly passed out:eek: Only pleased my 12 yr old wasn't looking over my shoulder at the time.Just to win anything would be great!!0

:DI'm loving this thread. When i google my name it appears that OJ Simpson has set up a company using my name to filter away money for a book deal entitled "If I Did it".
this deal is worth approx $800,000 so i'm hoping it will go into my bank account asap.:j
maybe this is why i received an email the other day from the FBI:eek: asking for my bank account details so that they can refund me my millions that some cartel have taken from fraudulantely. How lovely of them:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::j0
