    Google Street View!

    Has anyone NOT seen this!!

    It is pretty amazing, if you load up google maps, pic a location (obviously not third world countries like Thailand and Namibia as an example).

    You can zoom in and when you get ready, you can pick the little brown bloke (no racist remarks intended) from the top left hand corner of your ZOOM meter, fuck, and dump him on a street then it opens up some pretty cool photos! I was looking at my mothers house with three men on the roof fixing it! Is that not AWSEOME or what!. it is in like a high resolution too...but there seems to be some sort of panoramic fuck up...her ridge tiles aren't bent like that!

    I heard there was an outrage about this yesterday..that they posted some footage with a young kid with his dick out...some where in a London park..and they had to apologise...WTF!! who let the kid get his cock out in the first place...go prosecute the fucking family...anyone walking by could have seen it...fucking idiots!

    And can you believe this is FREE!! I have had a look today at everywhere I lived in the UK, every girlfriends house...it was quick! The Mersey tunnel could have done with some lighting...but this is pretty amazing stuff!

    I even found the shithole hotel on interstate 95 in North Carolina that I was forced to spend two weeks in.

    The UK and US is quite well mapped, I still cannot find the hotel in Madeira where i did some terrible things and China seems off limits!.. take a look, it is amazing!

    I cannot seem to understand how to take a snap of my previously "EXOTIC" homes from google street view, and post them here, to make you all so fucking jealous...you people have never lived in luxury ly Benwell, Pelaw...any ideas as to how to turn an HTML file into a JPG or whatever for posting...fuck me I couldn't believe my first flat...it has a fucking tree growing out of the windows...a dab of paint and it will be as good as new!

    What a disgrace to let places get to this state..fucking Paki Landlords! Thesev places were beautiful terraced streets at one time!

    I think Google have done something like 95% of the UK and the US.

    Screenshot?...I may as well try to raise the dead!.. is there not a way to capture it..like "SAVE AS" then open it in PS...? Thanks anyway!

    I was getting all weepy looking at the beautiful places I used to live in...the Benwell shots brought it all back, looking out of the front room window, pissed and watching the smoke billowing out of the kitchen....never leave chip pans unnatended! The Cricketers Arms Circa 1992!

    Came home from work on a Friday (3.30 finish) a few beers at the Cricketers Arms in Pelaw, I stick on the CHIP PAN, the wife opens a bottle of wine....a good shag and half an hour later I wake up with flames spouting from the kitchen window...we even managed to get a police helicopter overhead before I managed to douse the flames!

    The funny thing was, the kitchen was an extension, it jutted out at 90 degrees to the main flat...I remember, I woke up and looked out of the front room window, and saw these flames coming from what appeared to be next door, then I realized it was the fucking kitchen blazing...a strange feeling looking outside and seeing your house on fire!

    Here we see the spacious living room and the fucking trees growing out of the front of the house!


    This breaks my heart!

    http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&hq=&...37.67,,0,-1.52

    If you manage to download the luxury surroundings, you can actually pan around to take in the entire scenic view!

    We used to sit out back on a flat roof and drink cider.....what memories...what a wonderful world! The perfect ambiance!

    When I came back to the UK after working in Germany for a few years, I was paying (or the government) a PAKI landlord 45 Pounds a week to live in this SHIT!....something is pretty much wrong!

    I remember coming home from a Motorhead concert and this twat from downstairs had dumped all of his rubbish outside our back door..I recall throwiing it from the flat roof back into his yard, we never got on as friends, his wife was a retard that spent every waking hour bouncing a tennis ball off her ceiling (MY FLOOR)..the good old DAYS!

    The Ozzies and the Americans really need to see the reason to be jealous....We British live like fucking kings in our castles!

    What happened there? This looks worse than some parts of eastern Germany.

    Places like this in most cities in the UK now, if you know where to look.When major industries were closed down by our maggie, whole areas of affected towns collapsed.Houses can be bought for less than a packet of crisps!.
