Have the Brits hijacked my Google?

[shereads]

Recently, I did a Google search for some information about London. Since then, all of my Google searches are answered with UK links.

Under preferences, there is a language selection option but I've found no way to re-select for US versus UK responses. If I were to search for "football," for example - which I am not likely to do unless I'm really, really bored and have finished the rest of the internet including every one of your dirty stories - Google would respond with several pages about soccer. A search for "kid" would bring up articles about baby goats instead of small humans.

On a serious note, Googling for "Dominos Pizza" takes me to their Australian page, which takes forever to load, and I was really hungry last night.

What to do?

It's a cunning plan. ™

Kid = child
color = colour
football = soccer

What to do?

Move to England but start accommodating yourself to really weird sandwiches. P.

In an effort to improve America, Google has initiated its ameliorative citizen expulsion program.

If you do not wish to be deported to Great Britain, simply remove all references to Bob Jones University on your profile, then all problems with Google-initiated virtual British residence will be discontinued.

I blame Lou.

1. I'm fine with those things. They have coloured my world view. But the fact remains that Dominos' Australia site doesn't provide Miami FL phone numbers for home delivery.

2. Baldrick the last time you had a cunning plan, you cut off your mother's head because her ceiling was too low.

I blame Lou.

It weren't me Guv'ner.

Or, could it have something to do with that bug I unleashed last week. What was it called again, oh yeah...

"The B-org-rits assimilation worm."



Lou

P.S. Muahahahahahahahahahaha

1. The number is 305-743-2266 if you're still hungry.

2. But she did lose nearlly 30lbs in weight instantly.

No wonder my computer was typing with an accent and asking for a nice cup of tea.

How can anyone kill and eat one of those adorable chubby animals? They look like teddy bears or giant hamsters.

Is anyone out there going to help me with this Google issue? I actually tried Googling for "USA vs UK Google" and it came up, "Paul is dead."

 

[Virtual_Burlesque]

... it came up, "Paul is dead."

When the answer is "I am the walrus," you will know that the transformation is complete.

See the Doc's thread on is my Google infected. Some answers were given there if you really have problems.

Got Pizza?

p.s. Cripes, Sher. If you were hungry and Google was f***ed up, all ya had to do was PM me for some local (to you) numbers for Domino's, my Google is Lucky.

 

[English Lady]

Sure sounds like some kind of viral problem.

Being British is very contagious you know!

 

[Pure]

Google has a memory. Also perhaps 'cookies'. A bit like Amazon.
Try clearing these.

Sher, your box is full.

As to what to do, quickly:

Use the 'not' function. search 'football' 'US' NOT Britain NOT British.

Even that is unnecessary. If you wand Domino's Pizza in the miami region all you need is;

"dOMINO'S pIZZA" +mIAMI

Of course, if Domino does not use an apostrophe correctly in the name of the family establishment, then no self-respecting Lit author would patronise them.

IE Browser? select tools, on the drop down menu, select internet options, select general tab if it isn't already loaded, select, 'delete cookies' then 'delete files' then 'clear history' then 'apply'.

If that doesn't work you'll have to move here
