I fear you may be a little confused. The green box isn't part of 119a

existence inside the box, occasionally emerging to infest this
newsgroup.

Oh probably, but the box is an innovation since the Google aerial photo
was made. Odd how every detail of that street scene matches to the
photograph that someone admits is of him, isn't it?

That umm would, on a balance of probabilities, make someone out to be a
liar, sorry "Liar!!!", wouldn't it?

And they blur out people's arms, car hubcaps and bits of roadsigns,

A road sign is something
that says "No Waiting", or "High Street".

sigh In Italy road signs also say "Hotel Miramare 800M " or point to
other local businesses.

I was looking at the UK maps, and road signs saying things like "No
Waiting" and "High Street".

Hubcaps might be the same rule - I've seen some bizarre blurring on
vehicles such as headlights on BMWs and rear boot badges on some, but
not all, models.

I don't think I've ever seen a corporate logo on a hubcap.

Or are you going to deny that these are corporate logos?

Well, done. They are corporate logos.

However, the wheels I've seen blurred don't have logos on them.

Other features seem to be blurred by motion, either of the camera or of
the subject.

Or usually just a blob of inexplicable blurring.

Some of it seems to be an artefact of stiching the 360 degree image
together.

Yes, there are some of those as well.

I don't think so, look at the number on the door.

it's down the street a bit more, look for
the eco caravan in the front garden.

It's the same property that someone posed in front of with his bike +
trailer.

Well, I for one am disappointed.

Not only does the arch-anarchist live in a bog-standard semi, but he's
got single-glazed wood-framed windows as well. Not very "eco", Duhg.

It's far & away the tattiest house on the street too. Rather like its
owner.

It's a bog-standard council semi at that.

I caught a really dreaful old bunch of bull**** on Radio 4 last week. A
play about trying to achieve a zero emissions lifestyle. It was crap. It
also featured George Monbiot and a couple of other eco-mentalists
playing themselves.

Most of the scenarios were set up so that Monbiot et al could step in,
act smug, push their agenda and claim that XXX would save tonnes of
carbon per annum. However this is the sort of crap that Duhg believes.

Guess what single activity they condemned the most?

Retired people living alone at a distance from their family, hence using
up resources that could be used by an entire family. Monbio claimed that
old people living alone consume vastly more than their fair share of
resources. That sounds just like someone we know and barely tolerate.

In the play they forced the grandfather to go and live with his
children.

Is that a different language?

So you now resort to poking fun at typos .. 'of' should have been 'if'.

Most normal people would have realised this and probably not commented
as it's generally coherent, unlike your usual inane (insane) ramblings
and incoherent drivel.

Carry on.

One wonders what the purpose of the green box is? Perhaps we will be
told? It's also interesting to note that there seems to be a significant
time difference between the two images. One with scaffolding, one
without.

Eagle eyed readers might spot a similarity between that street scene and

I have warned DB that you have published photos and the location of
his home on the internet, presumably as an aid to stalking him. I do
hope he takes appropriate action.

I think you misunderstand Toomy's point. His complaint was not that
there was a typo - it is that there there were not enough typos. If
you'd written something like "I wonder fuxxin if when of mong the TFL
looks grandparents threatnin after his", with a suitable amount of
dribble running down our chin whilst doing so, the retarded **** might
have understood you. As you wrote it, however, Toomtard didn't stand
a chance of understanding.

Talking to yourself again, Mr Bollen? Perhaps you should contact
Google and ask them to remove that particular street scene?
