At a women's club I attend the speaker started off by discussing people who felt unimportant because they reckoned they were insignificant in our world. She went on to tell us we were all important in our own ways. Hmm, I thought, this is getting worse, I didn't come here for a self-help session. But then she told us her criterion for importance:
"I am in Google, therefore I am important."
It was a lot funnier in real life, I can assure you!
Anyway, Google for your real name and see what the person in the first hit does for a living. If you ell us don't give us too much information if you wish to keep your real identity hidden!
I suppose if your first hit is YOU then you must be important! Anyway mine was a Native American Author - (that will tickle Oz as he is into Native American culture!)
Hi All,
My namesake is a lot smarter than I am !! He is a doctor of Psychology in Missouri, USA. Studying education and behavioral sciences. He even has letters after his name :(
Looks a tad like me tho in the fact that he has dark hair and glasses !! Mind you his dress sense is shocking ;D
As a married person, my namesake won The New Designers Award for British Contract Furnishing Association Award for Export in 2005!
My maiden named namesake works for parliament, something to do with modernisation!
Does that mean I am important? ahem, dont think so!!! but I can be googled.

The first one I got had his own website www.petermason.com (Digital photographer or summat). I thought I'd try UK only and got the OPEC report with an introduction from Sir Peter Mason who wanted to let everyone know that:-
"Sustainability - or corporate responsibility - is sometimes understood as the narrow environmental and social obligations of a company. To me however, it is a management approach that takes account of the broad and long-term concerns of stakeholders, not just short-term profits. Developing the skills of our people, improving the environment or being invited back to work in a particular community, are just as important as getting planning permission or winning a contract today."
ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz
We're def not related.
Wow! I am a Professor of Earth Sciences at USC, and also an Expert of Wiltshire Folk Lore. I have also written a book on Gambling.

When you find a deserted island Delilah, pm us all and we will come and join you - we will of course bring out tools, seeds, sheds, ponds, chooks, pigs, sheep, pets etc but not out families ;D
RC. What a good idea. Will learn Morse code so that I can check how the kids are, or if we can be seen from the main land will learn flag waving code (what ever that is called).I would be able to learn such a lot about gardening from the experts.

We'd enslave you and tie you to the palm tree and then make you entertain us during the long dark evenings ;D
