Just a heads up, if you go to Google Maps and drag the little yellow man, you will find that pretty much all of Northern Ireland is now covered in streetview, seems to have been uploaded in the last day or so.

    It actually went live last week and boy is it detailed albeit out of date.

    If you want to have even more fun looking at peoples houses, try Microsoft Bing maps. They give a Birds Eye view which instead of showing houses from up top it shows them from an angle giving more detail and even better ...... you can rotate the image and get a 360 view of whatever you're having a nosey at!!

    I'd say you're not bad looking - what we can make out! ;)

    Do you remember the day the picture was taken? When was it? And did you not think it was a bit strange a car driving past with loads of cameras on top?

    the photos are even older from my area - we did major work to our house a couple of years ago, but the photos show our house before the work, so I'd guess they are at least two years old in my area.
