By the way, am I the only one to find it rather strange that so many carefully pseudonymed-up internet personas are posting up URLs that contain entire home addresses? Google probably already knows where we all live, but now so does everyone else!

Oh no! My carefully psudonymed cover is blown!  ;)

God! Imagine the amount of arrests for growing your own there would be if the residences in Hyde Park were fitted with roof gardens.

Sorry to link The Mail but it had a lot of what I wanted to post in one place (with the exception of a bicycle on bicycle accident which was apparently also caught on camera).

I figured since the majority of you live pretty far away, if you decide to come all the way up here to rob / molest me then you probably deserve a wee bit of help for your effort.  Plus, it doesn't say Pie on the buzzer.  ;)

I've no qualms over revealing my real name or where I live, I use it when I PM people all the time on this site and others where I use the exact same pseudonym.  I prefer a pseudonym so that my ramblings aren't uncovered when applying for jobs and such like (have UKB setup under FoxyProxy too at work).

Facebook is far worse (not signed up myself).

From that Daily Mail article this is particularly ironic...

I don't care who sees what I post on here under my heavily disguised user name. It's all FACT.

Perhaps a shadow of your former self?  Since you ditched Kit for Pamela and then her for the bouldering pad things have never quite been the same.

The Daily Mash have a nice tempered article on Street View Paranoia  :lol:

Street view has left the cities...


And they have filled in some of the gaps including our road.

Anyone checked recently? They've got everything. And I mean everything.


Check out what the campsite at the foot of Glen Rosa looks like in Summer. Go for a roadside viewing of Sron Na Ciche.

This is such a powerful tool. I'm excited.

Just checked, they still haven't been past my front door.  You can see it from a nearby road, but they didn't drive right past my front door so no full-360o view.

As you say though, they've got lots more coverage or rural areas, such as .

Check out! Dawes and film crew at Cromlech Roadside.
Pretty good scene at the cave too.
