I don’t know if this will work outside the UK, but it’s worth a try: take part in the British Airways Olympics advert.

This Is Me:
![]()
I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.

Poetry Can Be Fun…Honest
Today is National Poetry Day. I was going to bring you some fun and interesting facts about poetry, but you know what? There aren’t any. Not on the internet, anyway. Poetry is dull. By the way, remember to check out my poetry blog, I’m Not A Verse. * * * * * I did find […]

Fascinating False Facts?
Viewfromtheside offered fascinating as the weekend theme. I thought you might like some fascinating facts. Can you guess which, if any, are true? You can’t fold paper more than seven times. You can, actually, if you are young and determined and rope in your family and a shopping mall. From Wikipedia: In January 2002, while a […]

I Knew Him Back When
With apologies to Paul, who might not find this blog to be quite what he was expecting. Take a look at this You Tube video. This – boy? young man? lad? What do I call him? He’s of a similar age to Tory Boy but obviously we are not on similar terms. I’ll call him ‘person’ […]

My Perfect Old Bag
I have long been in search of the perfect handbag. It must be black; have a short and long handle, so that I can carry it down, under my arm, over my shoulder or over my chest; it must not be so big that I carry a load of junk around with me that I […]

How clever!
Isn’t technology amazing?
Works just fine! Thanks for linking to that
Fun, isn’t it?
No, I couldn’t get it here in California.
I even tried to google it separately and there wasn’t anything…I know that happens, but I always wonder why! Oh well…next time! Debra
That’s a shame. Let me see what I can come up with…
I tried to watch it but my iPad doesn’t have flash, but they were very polite about it.
Well, it didn’t like my Indiana address . . .
Enjoying my subscription here though. Thanks for some recent chuckles.
It’s fabulous: I taxied past our old address and looked in the bedroom window; I arrived outside Sally’s House, and sent her the link. Thanks for the link. Better definition than Google Earth.
Great fun, isn’t it?
This should ease your fear of flying some, eh Tilly?
didn’t work for me, but we have a slow connection so what I did get was ‘jagged’ – I could see the facebook and you tube version, but without the added thing of featuring a specific postal address! I will try later
I made it work for facebook for another address… Birkenhead!
Yeah!
Doesn’t work in Hawaii.
I was going to say it didn’t work for me either, but I read Viv’s comment and put in the address in London that we lived in when we were kids. It’s really brilliant.
Excellent!
Thanks – that was funny
Yip – for SA it just sits and stares at me in bewilderment.
Neat.
Lets hope Transport For London is as slick…
One can only hope…
The link worked fine and I am in the US, really cool advert, thanks for sharing it….
My pleasure!
Sorry, I can’t return the visit because there’s no link.
Only you Brits can say “advert” and make it sound cool.
“Advert”? Baffled but pleased
*smile didn’t work in Canada, don’t know the post code where I’m … have to try when I’m back home again. Hope it works there
Hope it works for you!
It worked … put in my old Belfast post code and there was my house – brilliant .. they have used goggle street pictures, very clever.
So glad!
