my colleague is in this band called gamages model train club, and despite the interesting name, he thought – when forming the band – it best to check if there wasn’t already a band with that name.  all well and good.

so where did he turn?  what database or listing did he use?  neither.  he used Google.  he Google’d the name and nothing came up.  so he proceeded confidently in the knowledge that it was very unlikely indeed that there would be two Gamages Model Train Clubs ever playing the same bill.

the fact is that there could be a band out there called the Gamages Model Train Club.  but they’re not on the internet and – more importantly – Google can’t find them.  so to all intents and purposes they don’t exist.  Google has disappeared them!
