I have a badly swollen knee. Can’t get to physiotherapist so not wanting to cut off blood supply to my leg , armed with elasticated bandage I thought google ‘ bandaging knee’ in the hope of learning to do it properly .

But I googled bondage instead of bandage !

Really need to see a doctor as sudden swelling could have a serious cause. Ring the surgery and make an appointment. When I had this it was damage to the joint following my one and only visit to a gym. Never went again lol.

Years ago I googled Dollshouse......dumbfounded at what turned up as I had left the s out. It was mostly American.

I googled Edinburgh Woollen Mill the other day and opened up a porn site! I have no idea how that happened. Many years ago my daughter and I were trying to organise a day out for hubby i.e a days sailing, or flying. We googled Virgin Experiences. You can guess what we got.

You'd be surprised (or maybe not) at the results I got when I Googled 'toyshop'. blush

I had lots of laughs reading this, a few years ago my mother was horrified to see what came when she googled 3 piece suites, she decided to go to a shop after that

Realy Maw I didn’t know that was a name for them, now I feel a plonker again , you mucky little lady you ?

grandma60. That was embarrassing , at least no one saw my bondage googling

I once googled an article in the Sussex Gazette on my work computer. I got a stern automatic email reminding me about company policy on accessing pornography.

I think it was here on GN that someone (Jings?) warned against Googling big beautiful women. Don’t!

Anniebach Mon 22-Oct-18 21:31:31

melon ?

I don’t feel such a plonker now after all the posts ?

I am keen on feeding the garden birds. A friend said she made her own feeders using seed, nuts and suet.

I have learnt to be more careful with my phrasing after I googled "make fat balls".

Anniebach Mon 22-Oct-18 21:19:05

PECS, I doubt I would try googling Sus sex now ?

Maw, what does jugs mean [blushing]

PECS Mon 22-Oct-18 21:14:29

Oh dear Annie ! Things to do in Sussex brought up amazing things when a space was inadvertently placed in Sussex blush

Chewbacca Mon 22-Oct-18 21:01:44

grin Maw! The mind boggles!

MawBroon Mon 22-Oct-18 20:57:57

I also heard of somebody who wanted to buy a carafe or decanter as a present and ill-advisedly Googled “Jugs”

Chewbacca Mon 22-Oct-18 20:41:32

I won't be Googling "unusual cross stitches" again any time soon either Annie. That was an eye opener! who would want the Karma Sutra in cross stitch on their wall?

Grannyben Mon 22-Oct-18 20:29:27

I had a colleague who once googled water butt. She only wanted to know the price but I don't think she ever got over the images she saw

Farmor15 Mon 22-Oct-18 20:18:47

I wanted to be able to tell whether kittens were male or female and realised I needed to be very careful what search terms I used!

Jalima1108 Mon 22-Oct-18 18:21:07

I'm still pondering the 'melting wax' one but I'm NOT going to google it.

GrandmaKT Mon 22-Oct-18 18:19:12

Reminds me of when a friend was suffering with the menopause. Having googled "Too hot in bed", she was amazed with the results she got! shock

Anniebach Mon 22-Oct-18 18:14:44

Thank you all x

Manacles, fiends reunited and melting wax to be avoided. ?

Just measured my knee, good knee 12”, bad knee 17 1\2 inches , best see physiotherapist!

Purpledaffodil Mon 22-Oct-18 17:53:39

Colleague planning a science lesson for Year 4 Googled melting wax. It seemed an innocuous search term, but the results were definitely not suitable for children! Hope knee feels better soon Annie

Katek Mon 22-Oct-18 17:33:57

I was looking for bits and pieces to dress the castle dungeon set in last year’s panto so went online looking for manacles. Need I say more...,,?!

Hope knee is better soon annie

PamelaJ1 Mon 22-Oct-18 16:42:35

I once googled fiends reunited and was a little surprised at what came up!
I think that as long as you didn’t use your credit card you’ll survive!

Sorry about your knee Annie but you did make me chuckle.
Get professional help with treatment and bandage. As lemongrove said a large G&T will ease the porn pain.
