I know, Mark, Google(Bot); who can she be? One of Google's friends and relations perhaps.

Yes, I've noticed that she's been there even since the forum was renovated. But she hasn't made any comments yet despite being logged on 24/7!

Google (Bot)

It's possible that Google(Bot) was asked to leave at the end of the Upper V, or even before.

She'd been caught, in her own underwear, talking to boys behind the chapel. During the singing of the Carmen, she'd brazenly lapsed into her own appalling version of the words, then fallen into a sullen silence. SWSNBN had reported her for being Behind with Needlework from 111' days owards, and a Below Standard had been awarded on several occasions. But then she hadn't cared, only having bragged to a crowd of awestruck friends that "soon she'd be out of this dump!" :shock:

The bad girl, one day to call herself "Google(Bot)", had requested to be confirmed because you got to go home a day earlier, and she'd discovered the location of the Communion wine and got hooked. The Maths Master, sweet old Mr Mulholland, had been disturbed and horrified by a wolf-whistle, the poor dear. And the man that did DR's garden resigned!

What to do? Having survived a Junior House, (Millie had read her letters home and learned a whole new vocab), the girl we know as Google(Bot) was placed in a House where other, good girls were felt to exert an improving influence. The scheme didn't really work. Google(Bot) had soon discovered a great place to smoke - out of the Maid's Room window - and a place to hide Rave magazine and her nail polish. The Study de-camped en masse to Sister up t'Imf, reporting hideous headaches. There was a tricky incident with a poor junior, some Gumption and smuggled-in gin, but nobody knew quite what... except Google(Bot). And what about that diet pill thing?

What did she do when she "left"? We don't know, but can probably assume that she is now very very rich, and lurks with a computer permanently turned to the Forum. She scans the posts every few hours, hoping for the downfall of those against whom she has old grudges and revelling in revelations of nookie happening at Horsham. "That's a bit more like it, darlings!" she coos.

Tell all in your posts, Forum-ites. Keep Google(Bot) happy.

Mark, she's there! Google(Bot) is there right now! What's your best chat-up line?

There's another of them

Another of them appeared yesterday! Yahoo(Bot) lurked for a bit. This must be the much younger sister who never got past the first application procedure - well, she only applied as a bit of a laugh anyway. The stories of Google(Bot) and her older sister were, like, a kind of a bit unreal, know what I mean? And with the Horsham merger about to happen, hey, banged up with all those guys in dresses; cool.

She went to another newly co-ed Public School. Girls were vastly outnumbered. It was a total blast. She now does something unbelievably well-paid with computers, but lurking was OK on a Monday afternoon off - see if all that old stuff still happens...
