Icon6 See your house from space.

Hey guys,

Check out this site when you get a chance.

www.maps.google.com

Click on satellite locate your area by click and drag (other than the US) and then using the + or - button zoom in and check your backyard.

Cheers Aaron

Let's see now...

Adrian - Tosser No.1aa
Daren - Tosser No.1a
Ed - still remains Tosser No.1

Whichever way you look at, the 3 of you are Tossers of the same kind!!

Hey Guys,

I checked out NZ and saw two things.A bright reflection and an Orange glow.On consultation with NASA and the CIA we here at ASIO were able to determine it was a bald 59 year old male with a 45mm Planet Ocean.

The suspect appeared to be looking in the direction of a young ladies cleavage and appeared to be heading in the direction of Mansours.

Cheers Aaron

With all these tossers being thrown around it really is starting to convince me that JJ is contagious.

When I tried to zoom in on my area, it didn't have data to the zoom level that would allow me to make out my house......bummer. I was able to see the street level, but the scale was quite large. I guess mapping the boonies of Canada is not high on their list........ :-(
