Should I be proud or just plain paranoid?

My son has just informed me that if you google on my real name (not supplied in this post) i.e. simply, "first name, last name" no initials or any further keywords, then the first hit is my professionally related homepage. i.e. me.

Jeez. Who's stalking me?

Re: Should I be proud or just plain paranoid?

When I google my name the first entry on the list says that my namesake is an actor, model, harley rider and former playboy cover girl. It's surprising I get the time to come on ex-pats at all 'cos I am so talented and good at multi tasking!

Ciao! I must go for my latest botox injections and session with my personal trainer!

Another entry states I have an 'offical website'

Re: Should I be proud or just plain paranoid?

When I google my name, I get lots of results for a transexual policeman

I do appear somewhere eventually round about page 10!

Never did want my 15 minutes of fame!

Re: Should I be proud or just plain paranoid?

Apparently I am multi-talented too, an actor, skincare specialist, blown glass artist, a British waterways director, realtor, architectural historian, and an author, all on the first page. I didn't realise that there were so many of me.
