\t\t\t\tI’m not sure why it has taken this long, but I recently started getting about one email per week that was intended for a well-named member of the UK’s Parliament: Dan Norris<\/a>. After communicating with Mr. Norris’ office, I found that we both found one another via Google Alerts<\/a> that we’ve apparently both set up to notify us when Google finds our name somewhere on the intertubes.<\/p>\n

The person that responded to my email was a staff member from Mr. Norris’ office who acknowledged that while they hadn’t received any emails intended for me, they were aware of my website and domain name registrations.<\/p>\n

So, for clarification, Dan Norris is (also) the name of a Member<\/a> of Parliament<\/a> (MP) in the House of Commons<\/a> in the UK. I am not him. In fact, I haven’t even been to the UK (yet) and have no interest in becoming a politician. Mr. Norris’ office offered that when I do finally make it to the UK, Mr. Norris would be willing to meet with me, so that’s exciting and something I’ll look forward to.<\/p>\n

If you should wish to contact Dan Norris MP in the UK, he’s got a lot of contact options posted on his contact page<\/a>. I find it very interesting that he offers a number to send him text messages–another (of the many) refreshing change from politicians in the US.<\/p>\n

I’m still not exactly sure what surgeries<\/a> are, but I can only presume that they’re something like office hours and there are no doctors involved.<\/p>\n

Best of luck to Mr. Norris and his staff. While I haven’t made a habit of reading the emails that come to me, I read enough to determine that it isn’t intended for me and based on that sampling, I’m glad that I don’t have his job!\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
