Re: True
Well, maybe if you check your house on Google Earth in a few years, there may be a pic of you looking up and waving  If you don't know any better, it's an honest enough mistake to make... You're sisters got a great sense of humour tho | ||||||||

Perhaps she has been watching too much TV. 24 frequently shows the goverment using realtime satellite images to locate people in and around buildings, IMHO this isnt yet feasible.

The greenish object to the left is the roof of the cottage...
It's a big piece of land by South African standards too... it's what they call a "Plot" or a "Small Holding", basically a mini farm close to or in an Urban area... Yep... work is miles away... about 50 km's (31 miles)... sometimes takes me 2 hours to get to work if traffic is bad but normally around an hour :cry: ... would take about 35 minutes without traffic  Used to live a lot closer to work (+-15 Km's or 9 miles) but we decided to move to the plot as we thought it would be nicer for the kids... | ||||||||
