Who I’m Not

In a bored moment I decided to Google my name (don’t look at me that way - I KNOW you’ve done it and if you haven’t I bet you do it sometime this week) and find out who I’m not.

Based on a Google.com search:
Fortunately as I’ve been active online for a number of years a search for Ryan Morrison is fairly positive in my favour, the first three results are me.

The first takes you to this site, the second to my profile on BBC Radio Jersey and the third to my Blogger profile, and then things start moving away from me.

Based on a Google.co.uk search:
The first two results are the same as a Google.com search, the third result goes to a friend of mine called Ryan Morrison who works for a radio station in Scotland.

The fourth and fifth are mine again, fourth is a comment I made on the future of the BBC and the fifth is a review of the Subways.

Who I’m not

The above list only describes who I am and not who I’m not, so below I’m going to explore the Ryan Morrison’s in the world that aren’t me, for this I’m going to stick to a Google.co.uk search.

The search for “Ryan Morrison” including quotes returned 484 results, I’m just going to look at the first two pages.

I’m not:
A player with Newport Pagnell Town Football Club and my squad number isn’t 15.

An employee Personal Biological Research and Software company called ISI Researchsoft and contribute to message boards relating to their products.

I’m also not an employee of a small engineering.architectural firm in Ontario, Canada looking for information on which 3d modelling software to purchase.

I didn’t contribute to a very long and complicated sounding book by Barmarick Publications, Volume 28 Number 7 2002 (Personal Finances in the USA), a section called Can We Still Find Long-Term Care Financing Without Buying a Policy, and Do We Want To?.

I’m certainly not a Light Middleweight Scottish boxer (Bannockburn) beaten by Craig McEwan (Clovenstone) 17-3 in the 2002 Scottish Amateur Boxing Championships.

I didn’t go to Madras College, St Andrews, Fife, Scotland and definitely didn’t leave 1998-1999.

I didn’t say “The Sting rocks! My surprise board of the test is perfect for hauling it on piste, laying down lush powder turns and tearing up the park” about some snowboard thingy, in fact I’ve never been snowboarding and don’t think I really like the thought of it very much.

I didn’t contribute to an article on Buffers and Baselines - whatever they are.

Unlike a number of my friends who did a similar thing I have come off fairly well with my names sake, some of my friends shared their name with porn stars, criminals and conservatives!

Fortunately I share my name with sport stars, scientists and journalistsQ.

[LAST MINUTE EDIT] I’ve found a Pig Farmer with the same name as me - my life is now complete!

Worth having a look at Dave Gorman’s website - he is the comedy legend that went right around the world finding his namesakes - if you share my name get in touch and I will list all the Ryan Morrison’s I can find and what they do!
