!!!!!!!'s comments come just days after Samy Kamkar demonstrated a technique that used Google's Street View Wi-fi data to identify an individual's location remotely down to as little as nine metres.

ETA: for some reason the boss of Google's address comes out as a load of !!!!, his surname is S C H M I D T

Strangely, if you look at my place on Street View, and then do a 180, you are looking directly at a dung spreader in action!


Still that's better than the old aerial photo, which shows the staghounds' followers running amok in the front garden....:(

Anyone any the wiser regarding cucumber picking?

While we are still not too far from cucumbers, I'll just plug Real Seeds who do small, but incredibly quick and easy cucumbers. I don't bother with anything else myself, as these will produce, even neglected in a smallish pot.

This year I've grown Tamra and Wautoma.

So if I google 'dung spreader' will I find you?

I was in one of those kinds of relationships at the time.

You know the kind. Where the emotions are almost genuine.

Not sure that I do tbh.... but never mind.

Your not one of them stalkers, are you viva?

Stalking? No way. Involves far too much time and effort. I don't really get it tbh, though I don't like the crux of the article very much. Still, at least I'm not on Facebook.

Thanked purely on the "I'm not on facebook"! bit.

(though it is viva, & I'd have thanked it anyway...)

Just about everyone I know is addicted to facebook. I honestly don't get the attraction and I suspect I never will.

For a start what do I put on my homepage other than......

Got up, went to work, came home.

Because the whole world is hugely interested in that:cool:

I don't get Facebook, but I can see the attraction of an on-line photo album which is why I have one of those to share with others who have similar lives/interests. Also, it's quite handy when writing to people who you've not seen for a while; you just say 'Here's what we've been up to,' add a link, and it's covered.

I like seeing other people's photo stories, like the ones on the house renovation thread. There, they don't seem to mind showing themselves. Here, we're a bit shy about appearing in person.

Mind you, with some of the odd bods about on this forum.....:eek: maybe not so surprising after all!
