White Pages Weirdness
I’m meeting someone for coffee tomorrow at a café called Two Fingers.
I wasn’t sure of the address so I decided to check it with the White Pages online.
The intricacies of how search engines work are a mystery to me. And also to the folks at White Pages online, if their results to my query are anything to go by.
I knew the café was in Russell St, so I entered the following into the search fields:
Business Name – Two Fingers
Street – Russell
Top of the White Pages list was exactly what I was looking for - Two Fingers, 27 Russell St.
Strangely an additional 34 possibilities were also listed.
I have no idea why, as none of them featured both Two and Fingers in the business name.
Here’s a couple of the oddest names that were listed:
Act Two Electro Painters, Australian Two Way Radio Rentals, Bestcorp Two Pty Ltd, Cheap & Hot Two Dollar Plus and thirty more unlikely candidates.
Weird. Very weird.

But at least you now now where to hire Australian two way radios.
Which is a bonus. Surely?
I wonder if the two way radio would allow me to communicate with people who are no longer with us?
Extremely annoying. I use it all the time and even though you refine the search to a suburb; for example, Moonee Ponds, it always brings up results in places like Wollongong or Broome. Drives me nuts.
