Its odds on that the ship will break up in The Monsoon. Wow i didn't know it was that badly corroded and cracked.I was in Goa when it happened and i thought the locals were taking the P**s when they said a large ship was on the beach near Fort Augada.Mind you the level of pollution it will generate wont be much considering the time its been stuck there. Wont be a pretty site though and what a testament to Goan politicians. The Goans deserve better.

Villagers demand to know who should feed ‘the pig’
HERALD REPORTER
MARGAO, MAY 23
PWD Minister Churchill Alemao’s recent statement that Goans cry like pigs has invited strong reaction from the village groups of Goa.
Taking strong exception to the statement, the village groups carried a pig – attired in a colorful costume – in a vehicle near the Raheja property site at Carmona on Sunday evening and demanded to know who should feed the pig.
Activist Zarinha Da Cunha demanded to know from Alemao whether the pig should be fed by the Rahejas or who else tell who should provide the feed. “Churchill should explain whether the builder who is building the project in Carmona is from Goa or outside and why he is supporting the outside builder. If he cannot explain, the Minister should quit”, she demanded

It has been very hot here for the last few days, but I don't expect it will last.
All these ministers are ........

Could the locals actually distinguish which one was the pig and which one was the minister ?!!!!
Ah maybe that's why they dressed the pig in a coloured costume!!!!

Dread - pigs do fly - when politicians go by Jet.........

I saw a number of 'picnics' happening on the River Princess last week. If you walk in to the Taj Fort Aguada, it looks like the ship is literally sitting on the patio!!!!!

This is really amazing....Check out some of your old"haunts."
When you enter an address you will see a picture of that place. There's a little map with a little man on it - you can move the little man up and down the block if you need to. I just looked at my childhood home! Really nice website!

Dearest Auntie Noni,

In the United Kingdom, this is called Google Street, in fact its what all the hullabaloo was about a couple of years ago with people claiming "invasion of privacy" and security issues. Often, when looking at a particular street there will be a gap, often of many houses, where the occupants have successfully demanded that Google remove their property from view. Its what the cars with all the big cameras on their roofs are doing when you see them driving around your area.
What you have provided us with is simply the USA version of Google Street, which, being very clever links into the UK system. If you go to Google Maps here, you will be offered many choices of view.....maps with the option of your little man, a zoomable satellite view with road names superimposed, or the new pseudo-3D version of Google Earth without the need to download the normal large programme.
Love and peas

This is so much simpler for simple people like me. I can only get google earth
to work intermitantly - this is less fustrating. You will have to sort the google earth out for me when you come down.

J5 Noticed it was out of date, as our car is in the drive, and the willow tree
still in the garden

Not Google EARTH, Google MAPS!
I made it clear above that "Earth" can be a pain, "maps" works the same as your American site, but is far more up to date, is actually easier to use and offers more options (easy too!)
Your Yank site clearly states that it uses Google maps, but is so out of date that it denies that "Street" (your little man) is available where I stay, and it has been for over a year!
Now, be a big girl, and learn to use the proper UK version please, at
http://maps.google.co.uk/

: well if I do let's hope the conifers are not still there and the willow

Been a very big girl, but my house is two roads over on google!!. Prefer the new website, sorry Dad.

Return of Santan

Never mind your conifers and your Welsh willows, there are far more important topics going on at present, such as why is the English football team CRAP and why is Wayne Rooney a TWO-HAT ?

Please debate
