TWQ: Google Needs

TWQ (The Weekend Question) asks you to undertake a fun exercise and let us know the results.

Can you go to Google (the location may be slightly different to where you are in the world)? Type in your first name and the word 'needs'. For example 'John needs'. Let us know the results.

My answers are:

*...needs heart surgery and will take a month to recover.

* ...needs to learn how to code and get his head out of his ***

*... needs the the loading bay for the van, but Mr Gray parks there overnight. ------ just has to laugh. The number of times he's pulled in with part of a chassis, or an exhaust, only to find Mr Gray's car there. ------'s become quite an expert in the MD's movements. He says he's popping out for a sandwich, but takes his car. One lunchtime, ------ saw the MD's car parked in a residential street in Clapham. That would be some sandwich.

* needs to be protected and that this assault needs to stop.

Now it's over to you...

But before you go...

Elizabeth tagged me to do this food related blog.

The rules are I am to list the state and country I am in, 5 locally related places I like to eat, and tag 5 other people.

1: I live in Birmingham, England, and have always done so. It's right in the centre of the country.

2: This is tricky to list as I don't eat out that often.

A: The Hamstead: A beautiful local pub that gives good-value meals throughout the day, such as sizzling steak.

B: Up in Chester, about 80 miles away is a beautiful Italian restaurant that does homemade lasagna.

C: Garfunkels in London do excellent omelettes.

D: Seaspray in Torquay (South coast) do top quality dishes

E: In Picadilly, London there is a top restaurant that does the best breakfast there is.

3: I'm not going to list any to tag, biut if any wish to, feel free to add their versions.

OldLady Of The Hills said...

OldLady Of The Hills said...

Well, LOL, there were lots and lots of them...BUT, my favorite was....."....needs a good run-of-the-mill ass whooping"....Wasn't that a great one?

susan said...

I share the same name as a Radio 3 presenter,so there is quite a bit of stuff on that. But also this:

....married Captain James Floyer Erskine, son of John Francis Erskine, 24th Earl of Mar and Frances Floyer, on 12 November 1796. ...

The North Carolina Chapter of The Wildlife Society (NCTWS) created the S**** S****** Memorial Scholarship for the Fur, Fish, ‘n Game Rendezvous. ...

That was interesting, it seems that it's a popular name in America, but only one hit in Yorkshire where my last name is very popular.

Yu Yu said...

Apparently I need a computer. I don't mind having another one!

Yu Yu said...

Oh, I'm also a rising rock star. ^_^ No body told me that!

David Edward said...

Dean aka Sgt Dub said...

I gave it a try, the first one popped up "Sgt Dub needs to die" I then left quietly in case anybody was looking for me. I have enough on my plate already.

-- needs to find her place in the family.
-- needs a foster home!
-- needs to stop moving things the F around!
-- needs a day at the spa, too.

Yeah, if I've got the first three things going on, then a number four is in order. Apparently, I have issues of which I'm unaware!

I got a whole bunch about Queen Elizabeth and actress Shannon Elizabeth, but I also got "Elizabeth needs to stick around, and be featured a bit more"-I AGREE!

I tagged you for a meme on http://momcooks.net!

Miscellaneous-Mum said...

Karen needs to grow up!

Jaime said...

...the swim of her life
...some villains
...proof
...to face the facts
...information
...to grow up and stop making those horrible faces
...help with his comprehension skills
...to gain enough confidence to stop reading the instructions and start to take action.
...a witness who saw the large UFO over Mexico City (my personal favorite)
...a holiday

I also found some sites that had done the same thing we're doing here, and had listed 10 things that I need, but that seemed like cheating (for the most part).

Tawnya Shields said...

This was so fun!!!

Titania says she needs no weapons except a gigantic hunk of the headquarters. (WTH?) :o)~


Titania needs to be brought completely up to par.

And last but not least I give you...

Titania needs a solid.

Now that is funny!

The other comments are awesome also! Thanks for the giggles, Jean-Luc.

- Carina needs a change
- Carina needs a friend
- Carina needs a Hate Eternal fan (which is what??)
- Carina needs a focus for the Power Kirby

....and lastly....

- Carina needs a bunch of weed (!!!)

Anonymous said...

That last one on mine is ironic since HLJ is a Schapelle support blog. :D

Linda said...

First and foremost ...

"Linda needs to be a part of a loving, committed marriage."

Followed by:

"Linda needs mental help."

And that's where I'm going to end it because that about sums it up perfectly!

Anonymous said...

Interesting.... I remember an anteater type critter doing the hero a solid on Kingdom Hospital,Titania. Does that help to bring anyone up to par? And we had Wayne Weedman running a backhoe in our yard,so maybe we could get him to send a bunch of weed for Carina.
I posted mine at my site.

The Mistress of the Dark said...

You know I did this and didn't come up with anything interesting :(

BTW..I've got a pretty new template...come see when you have a chance...I found it on blogskins today. I spent 3 hours fiddling with it to get it nearly perfect.

"Ernie needs help from the Miami mice."
"Not just cause Ernie needs a job (specially a job that gets him over his fear of cooking)"

That second one was very ironic and funny for me, due to the fact that I am a professionally trained Chef and have absolutely no fear of cooking.

Jean-Luc Picard said...

You have come up with some weird and very funny ones so far. Everyone has had a good laugh with them!

kenju said...

I had done that before, Jean-Luc, but this time I got a new set of results:
1. Judy needs her morning coffee!
2. Judy needs help.
3. Judy needs to speak up in class.
4. Judy needs to read the constitution.

I could go on and on, but Michele might get mad!

Anonymous said...

I used my full name for this one, and wasn't too impressed... Simone:

"needs to understand that she has great ideas, she just needs to work on getting what is in her mind onto paper."

"needs to be a future eye candy"

"needs a chaperone for Timothy the Wonder Squirrel"

"needs to pee"

"[Gail] Simone needs to to step away from the computer."

I'm glad there was a Gail in front of the latter...

Paperback Writer said...

Appparenly, Google thinks that Paperback Writer doesn't need much...

However, I think I need a vacation, a new job, more money and perhaps a published story.

Just saying.

:)

MaR said...

Laura said...

Well:
*Laura needs to take better care of her own two kids(this one hurt :()

*Laura needs to kick Luke’s ass for essentially abandoning LuLu (who's Luke??)

*25 cents and 2 fingers is all Laura needs (I need more them that!!)

Laura needs to get out more (maybe I need...)

--teeth

This was fun!

Melanie said...

I can't remember exactly how I ended up here at your blog, but I have decided to play along!

Melanie needs:
-to accept that no one is self-sufficient all the time.
-friends.
-to add some sparkle and color back to her wardrobe.

That was fun!

Jean-Luc Picard said...
