yes and with added functions like stealing cars and shooting people

aw i liked pimlico school.

yeah, but its like a huge greenhouse when the sun's out, innit. impressive building, though.

Ken - YAY!!!! Too bad pic wasn't from a Tuesday when the music quiz duo were entering the establishment. Now that I would have liked to see. Still, awesome.

Aw, the Headington roof-shark in Oxford is all shored up by scaffolding ;_;

I've just been interviewed by the local paper re: the shocking exclusion of Leicester from streetview. I think they might have trapped me into saying rude things about Scunthorpe. For which I apologise to all Scunthorpians, but you know wot journos are like...

Dave Gorman is claiming HE is on streetview. It doesn't look much like him to me.

I found a picture of a guy from work walking to work. Looks like this area was pictured at about 7 in the morning, meaning there's no chance of me being on it unless they took a picture of my bed.

Blimey, I can see my neighbours walking out of their gate!

Coming soon Google Bed View

They're apparently going to be talking to someone from Google on PM (BBC Radio 4) shortly.

This is incredibly creepy!

But making the little yellow man walk around is fun, nintendo should make it into a game, coz it's as involving as Animal Crossing.

my grans old house looks well manky now :(

just typing "Ealing" will give you a picture of a guy taking a picture of the google car!

Missed this - Paisley jnr. almost as daft as his dad.

outside the office I work in in Clerkenwell, you can see a girl from my office sat on the front steps crying, while another dude from the office consoles her

it's on the east end of Aylesbury St, Islington

found it, jeepers.

also randomly found a view of a guy working underneath his car, the odd thing about it was that it seemed to be in some kind of quiet cul de sac neighbourhood. something eerie about the google van driving around somewhere so secluded.

i was thinking about starting a thread containing street views of addresses celebrated in song but electric avenue has not been mapped so fuck it

Is that electric avenue?

nothing creepy or intrusive or wrong about that at all, oh no!

What an invasion of privacy!

giant corporation gloats over individual woman's indeterminable grief

i take it you two would be ok with a recognisable image of yourself crying on the street was on this, then?

what if you were so upset by the possibility of your privacy being invaded that you ran out onto the street to cry and then the google van took a picture of you

I do all my crying on the dance floor.

i believe it was because a child kicked a ball in her face

what an invasion of privacy!

last 10 posts or so = total fucking excelsior

none of the last 10 posts are funny, like, at all

^^^this one is

what if the google van took a picture of me laughing at these posts

boxes w/in boxes

mostly just max's post tbh but that 60-foot penis swayed my praise

because faces are blurred it's not at all obvious that someone might be crying. gnarly sceptre you carl lewis of conclusions, honestly...

Maybe he was the dude doing the consoling?

I love viewing decrepit small towns in rural southern US. Behold, Hughes Arkansas, which I drove through once to get to the King Biscuit Blues Festival in Helena.

wow so much space. pretty bleak altho kinda love the Poor Boy's Liquor sign.

the gnarly spectre colleague picture looked like the dude was kissing the girl. Spread that round the office please.

Do Google image vans not go south of the river or something? How come Electric Avenue hasn't been done when my little street out in Zone 3 has?

Google Street View omits roads not passable by traffic. The market on Electric Avenue prevents traffic access. Same with Ridley Road in Dalston, which is also not covered.

they don't seem to have done the roads where my office is, just off Old St/City Rd

There's other roads around Brixton you can't go down on Street View that are traffic accessible, I reckon they're just shirking.

Oh come on people, this again? If you don't want to be photographed doing something, don't do it in public.

Heh the closet of the crying lass pics is deleted , I wonder if they asked it to be taken off.

Closest. Gah.
