I typed in 'how to use survex' on the search bar in Youtube. I suppose the result might be useful to female cave surveyors.
 
Hmm,  yes.    :lol:

Another case, I fear, of Big Brother saying "I know you typed abc but I also know that you really, subconsciously meant to type xyz."
 
Excercise extreme caution if googling 'glory hole' in relation to mining or quarrying. Always qualify with 'mining' or 'quarry'.

Possibly more useful to male cave surveyors.
 
Google does occasionally learn.  If you are looking for free decent image processing software, as opposed to renting stuff from adobe until the subscription runs out, it returns:

GIMP - GNU Image Manipulation Program

As opposed to the somewhat odd aspects covered in Pulp Fiction.

 
Yes, GIMP is pretty good. Fortunately we have it on our software portal at work, so I've not had to search for that!
 
Hahahaha this is brilliant. 😂😂😂
I once squashed my wedding ring when in my workshop so I decided to fix it myself and had a tool in mind.

Do not Google ring stretcher

😂😂😂
 
My daughter-in-law once entered "pearl necklace" in to search. Some years ago I was told about an enthusiastic female secondary school teacher who had just returned from a computer course and, surrounded by students, typed in "corporal punishment".

You haven't been a GP. You would surprised how many people of either sex are ignorant of their anatomy.
 
The comment that Google learns is true. The first time I tried to buy plug and feathers I went through a page or two of entirely irrelevant specialised erotic toys. I finally found what I wanted and the next time I Googled plug and feathers up came a series of masonry sites.
 
Google does learn, so I'd be very worried if a caver turned up anything inappropriate from 'Gaping Gill' for example!  :o

I always try to add some context to a search for example if I put in 'BCA' I always put in 'BCA cave' or 'plug and features rock splitting '

Och, it was about twenty years ago and I think the search engine was called Northern Light or something.

I haven't been a GP, but I wouldn't be surprised, having retrieved a split condom at 5am from the forefield - more than once. They're not what they used to be. Luckily I'm quite dextrous.

'Now just take a deep breath and don't move'...  :halo:
 
So there was I, thinking that I?d brighten up my Covid-blighted existence by typing in ?how to use Survex? into Duck-Duck-Go; what did I get but:

CUCC Expedition Handbook: Programmers manual - Survex
