Avpics Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Oddly I've had one in the last few days searching 'Avpics', of which they viewed 100 images. I'm not sure what they would gain from that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a search on Margaret alone, which isn't my name but was legitimately in the keywords. Maybe writing a book about Margarets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Chapman Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I’ve done searches like that myself on Google images when looking for a celeb when I can’t remember their surname. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me they must have done an advanced search on Vicky if you don't have it anywhere besides in your pseudo. Interesting. Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realise that showed up in Measures 😀 (!) I feel kind of 'rumbled', but not sure why I should feel like that .... Apologies to anyone who feels 'stalked' ....

Apologies to anyone who feels 'stalked' .... Thank you. I'll take that as a compliment of sorts, as if anyone could possibly learn anything from me, but only the searches of a few registered customers are recorded in measures.

I find it good to take a look at how other compose, and how the images appear. I come from a nursing/medical background, and thats all about learning from how others practice. I have to say I am rather relieved that any searches on my part don't show up in Measures (!). It might see a little 'creepy', though on my part completely unintended .....

Marianne Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I find it happens quite a bit considering that the spelling of my name - Marianne rather than Mary Ann - is not very common. I don't have my name in my keywords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny, my husband just got the balance our record collection down from the attic (I know, not the place for them...) and he grabbed the 45's too. Hopefully we have some of those little inserts in them so we can play them. A good idea for some stock photos.... I didn't know the story behind the song, but it certainly sounds intriguing.

[This thread is however becoming more interesting Marianne - your idea to take some pics of the vinyls sounds like a very good one ! I hope you enjoy listening to all this records I gave mine away a long time ago, as space is a premium (and the old record player not up to much in reality).

He split up with his lover, Marianne Ihlen. He remained friends with her for life (she sometimes came to his concerts), and just before she died he wrote her a lovely little note, and he himself died not very long afterwards. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/So_Long,_Marianne A movie about that part of their life was released this summer, to mixed reviews: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9358196 and is available to those with access to the BBC iPlayer https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0008yzr/marianne-and-leonard-words-of-love Edited October 1, 2019 by Cryptoprocta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
