Finding Details Of Someone, Who Has An Unusual Name
The surname of someone, I used to know came up in the BBC’s Olympic coverage. I haven’t seen them in years, so I searched for them on Google. It was only out of curiosity and I found a PDF of a letter that they had written to their local council, objecting to an extension to one of the neighbouring properties. It was on the council Planning Department’s web site.
Obviously this person has nothing to hide, but imagine you are an errant husband or wife, not wanting your name, address and telephone number to be disclosed to your spouse!
So does this mean that you shouldn’t object to planning permission, if you want to keep your details secret?
I’d Forgotten Richmal Crompton Was a Woman
They just had a pece on the BBC about the children’s author, Richmal Crompton, who wrote the Just William books.
I’d forgotten that she was actually a woman, but Richmal is a rather unusual first name.
Why Does My Computer Call Me Jim?
I know I’m called James, although not everybody who reads this blog knows that.
But why does this computer sometimes call me Jim. No-one does that. In fact it was my father’s nickname, so I wouldn’t have used it would I?
Does anybody know how to change this American rediculousness?
Incidentally, if anybody calls me Jim on the phone, I immediately put it down, as it is probably a scam.
