Where Do You Live?

Clearer picture generally for where I live than on Google Earth except where my house is there's a big white block with a no camera symbol! :blink:

Same here, on Google Earth Faringdon is a greenish brown blob whereas with this one I can quite clearly see the car on next doors driveway :lol:
 
The E. Dead Group know where you live

Was pointless searching for my house in Ireland,but its quite cool to look up Newmarket and see all the yards and gallops,never realised there were so many swimming pools!!
 
What's the betting the owners claimed they were for therapeutic purposes for their horses, Spoons, on their tax returns? ;)

"And would you now care to explain the fitness gym, the sauna, and the three Thai massage ladies, sir?"

True - with grammar like that, you're avinalarf - you must be Jovian.

'Google' is used a collective noun, as in "England are a good side", therefore there's nothing wrong with the verb being plural.

Ending a sentence with a preposition, while not entirely pure in my own opinion, is no longer regarded as bad grammar and is used frequently by such enlightened bodies as the BBC news programmes.

So get back into your cage and growl at someone else.
 
"Google is used a collective noun"? Would you like an 'as' with that? :lol:

You can't be serious, Maurice. England, as in footie, is a team. A team 'is' good. Or 'is' crap. But it's not the team 'are', any more than Google. Google is a company or business. A company 'is' and a business/organisation 'is', not 'are'. The company is going places (as a whole), not the company 'are' - a company, or Google, is a SINGLE ENTITY, as is a team (England). Collective = as a single entity.

I think most of us have agreed that the Beeb no longer reflects the Queen's English and certainly not its grammar, and just because something is in common usage doesn't make it right. It's full of Americanisms in both words and pronunciation: 'skedule' is used daily, 'overly' (cue Colin Phillips fainting clean away), and a 'whole raft' of other examples! Why bother to have any principles of language at all - we might as well spell and construct as we wish if common usage is a criterion of acceptability?
 
:lol: We ought to have one, just for you - surely it's overly overdue?

I hope Mo won't think I'm being too serious about all this, though I do love a square go on the subject (as he knows). I get vexed about so many things - a large sign produced yesterday at Brighton, missing a vital apostrophe, for example. Maybe it's better not to put one in at all rather than put in the wrong one, but I still can't abide apostrophe abuse. There's even a society for them. In a rather twee moment I e-mailed it, but failed to receive a reply. Perhaps it recognizes the truly unhinged...
 
You'll nead to put in in a sentence Simmo. With the name of another forumite for good measure. Apologies for the grammar.
 
"Nead"? Never mind the grammar... <_<

Soapy tit wank - is it an anagram? Though I can't see 't-o-m-m-o' in there, as it were...
