    hilarious :rotfl:


    mainly florists come up under my name but I do appear on page 2 and 3 for referring A & L customers, joining the unfairpak forums and my thread on the CAG website when I reclaimed my bank charges - frightening

    my real name brings up references to an artist on christian radio - yeah right and apparently I am a head teacher in Bournemouth as well as being a training consultant in Sunderland - no wonder Im always tired

    My real name only brings up 7 results - and they're all me! Mind you I do have a very unusual surname, put in just the surname & it's all my family members!

    My user name brings up 114 million hits - so don't think I'll be trawling through those somehow!

    This is one of the main reasons I don't post on here all that often now and the main reason that I got rid of my debt diary. My username is unique and comes up with me, plus other forums I go on.

    Googling my real name brings up links that are all me (at least the first six or seven) as for the last few jobs I've had my details are all publicly available on the web. There's an ex of mine who must google me. He texted me to congratulate me on my promotion and the only way he would have found that out is by looking me up on the web cos I've not been in touch with him for YEARS!!! I've NO privacy ;) :rolleyes:

    There are more that 1 dianadors apparantly (Yes I know that there was the Blonde Bombshell and that obviously is not me) but neither is the ebay seller as I have never trusted ebay to buy or sell - so thats not me. Wonder why they chose the name?

    Hee hee hee! I googled my real name and apparently I am a screenwriter of a film made in 1913 (appropriate really as I am an aspiring writer!) and a former Lieutenant Governor (whatever that is) of Colorado!

    Reassuringly when I googled my real name and my MSE user name it found nothing!!

    Just googled PigginSkint on its own and it would appear that there is a user on ebay who uses that user name! (Different punctuation though) Luckily my ebay user name is something else
