Ha! No, Miranda was leaving as I was arriving, she is really tall, but nowhere near as big as she's made out to me.

Babs looks fab, Parky was looking quite old and Alan Hansen is really slim. I've always quite fancied Hansen, but he's off the list now.

Ha!
So many celebs in one place. Where were you, the flipping Ivy?

Did she bump into anything and fall over?

No-one goes to the Ivy anymore darling!

It was here http://www.thedelaunay.com/.

I was expecting it, but no she managed to walk in a straight line, unlike myself!

Ooh, I've never heard of that one. Snazzyy.

Just had a look at the menu prices, very reasonable for London.

The menu was great value, the weiners are only a fiver, and a sirloin steak is £18! I guess the wine was expensive because it was £70 a head. We did drink a lot of wine though *hic*

Roo is a soft cow crying because of a lovely message she got from the mother of a little boy in the US she sent a parcel of goodies to.

Feeling just a little fecking smug.

Google Street View cars were apparently in the area last year but they apparently stopped at the gate to my neighborhood even though it was wide open. Looks like I'm stuck with fuzzy, brown, low-res imagery of my house from 2008. :(

They new photo did manage to capture the fence that was destroyed days earlier by the neighbor's teenage son while racing another car. He managed to land upside down upon another car that was waiting to get through the gate; everyone emerged unharmed. Supposedly another neighbor has the security camera footage of the incident.

A lot of the houses in my area won't appear on Google because no one wanted them here so when they did it, a load of us wrote to Google asking them to remove or blur our homes. We never gave permission for our homes to be photographed.

My house is on there. It looks pretty bad. I would have tidied up the front if I'd of known it was being photographed.

Unless the UK's laws are radically different, it's not illegal to take a photograph in a public place. Google just removes them on demand to placate the people who think it's an egregious sin to take such photos.

You can ask them to take it off. You just tell them you do not want your house on their site because you feel it violates your privacy. They will then blur it or remove it.

It's not against the law but if would be nice in an area with social housing filled with vulnerable people - some families who have had to be re-homed due to violent partners and such, to be asked if they mind having pictures of their kids playing in the front garden taken and plastered on the web.

Just because it's legal, doesn't make it right. That's just my view. Other people are fine with it.

And then they add you to their list of naughty people and ensure that every 10th Google search you make is redirected to photos of prolapsed anuses.

The faces and license plates are automatically blurred to begin with.

When Google came down my street I stood in the front garden naked with my bank account number written on my penis. It appears blurred which is the look I was going for.
