If someone doesn't want something in their house seen by the public
they should pull the curtains or stop bitching.

I'm sure I read somewhere that their "algorithm" consists of paying
people less than the minimum wage to stare at images on-line and click
on the faces.

I suspect road signs because Google seems to have a policy (but a
strange one) on advertising. I've mostly been checking out cities in
Italy that I know well. On those street scenes the signs most frequently
blurred out are the ones that all Italian cities have advertising local
businesses. Also they seem to blur out logos of big corporates such as
KFC/McDonalds.

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.

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

You seem to have misunderstood what I said. A road sign is something
that says "No Waiting", or "High Street".

Or usually just a blob of inexplicable blurring.

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

Amazing that it's got enough room inside it for all his computers. And where
are the dead fridges that we were told littered his front garden?

How funny it would have been if there had been someone caught peeing or
puking outside, like in the examples on the BBC News page! Even better if
the Street View photo had caught a Certain Person blocking the pavement with
his bike trailer.

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

Not only does the arch-anarchist live in a bog-standard semi, but he's

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.

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

dribble running down our chin whilst doing so, the retarded **** might
have understood you. As you wrote it, however, Toomtard didn't stand
