On Google Street View

On Google Street View

YaaY! for Google Street View finally coming to the streets of Britain. The web is already filled to the brim with the best that the service that has to offer.

But here's our own little gem:


The lovely old bloke who stands on a local street corner in Weymouth, dawn-to-dusk, waving at passing cars. Staring, utterly agog at the Street View camera. Bless.

And yes, our house is on Street View. And no, I'm not going to link to it. You wouldn't be interested, we've since demolished the old shed and Street View is now completely out of date.

Sort it out, Google.

Second for Trolls and fjords.
And leave Goolies alone. Hours of amusement is to be had with it. Not only a few months ago, the lovely and Canadian Wrath decided to google her way from her house to mine. Basically she gets to the other side of Canada, then gets in a canoe, paddles furiously, and takes a left at Japan until she hits the Northern Territory at the top of Australia.
How we laughed.

That old guy is still using the (pre-Internet) 0.1 version of Twitter.

p.s. why is everything green? Haven't you heard of Global Warming™?

p.p.s. and why isn't everything covered in graffiti tags. Don't UK kids suffer from PSDS* like Australian kids?

We need a web blog devoted to photos of people up to no good, captured on Street View. A colleague of mine complained that a shot of her on St John's Rd, Caversham, looks like a bag lady. I pointed out that we are tramps.

Street View seems always out of date.

Pseudonymph - how long did her journey take? =)

The Google Street View of my friend's mum's house includes the back view of a woman who's a dead ringer for one of those Cylons off Battlestar Galactica...
