Only a limited number of cities so far

Live a life you love, use a god you trust, and don't take it all too seriously

yes, and I've been caught on camera making a phone call outside me office. Must have bene last Summer.

Got a couple of sides of me too, one of which isn't really pixellated. Immortality awaits!

Was this you Alan?

Obviously it's you wearing the antlers.

Google have pulled the image now.

I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you’ve noticed.) You don’t normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.

Heartily glad that I don't have to learn how to spell Chiwetel Ejiofor.

My house/close is on there. Odd really since it;s out of the way and some of the major roads aren't on there. Not sure I really like it TBH. Can see one or two of my neighbours faces from some angles.

Funny same up here.
My cul de sac is on it but loads of other roads, some of them main routes, aren't.
I know they've been there as I followed the Google car down one of them last summer.

Had to catch ours before it was finished didn't they. Looks like a building site.

It's very sinister really, at the right angle on the right pic you can see into houses.

Indeed folks, the validity and over all success of this service hinges on that one street in the darkest depths of wherevershire

But thats the one where the terrorists live.
Or was it Mrs Jones who forgot her bus fare in 1967.

Oh well never mind, I'm sure they'll sort it out once they've kicked the door in at 3.00am.
