I know it may be a long shot, but is there any org user that lives or works in Dundee that could take a photo of a house thier and email mail it please.

Regards KM

I come from Dundee as does all my and my Wifes Family. Almost everyone has more or less left but my Sister goes into Dundee about once a Month.

I can ask her to take a photograph for you the next time she goes into Dundee, dont know when that will be. If you post the address you want I will ask her and see what she says.

Mind you since she is 68 years old she is not the best Photographer in the world and is a bit touchy at times.

One thing you might try is Google street maps as thet have the majority of houses in Dundee all Photographed.

Thank you all for the replies.

It's for my brothers new book that is due for publication soon.
The central character of the book once lived in Dundee and my brother (that lives in South Wales) asked me would I take a photo of the house that this guy used to live in, (he assumed Wick was near Dundee,

lol) so that he could insert it in to the story.

I am not sure if he has a deadline, but if your sister may be able to oblige I am sure there will be a credit for her.

Cheers Fran, I have never had a look at google street maps, but will have a look out of interest, and I am sure it will run into copyright issues though.

Hi Kevin, I'm from Dundee and my daughter lives there.
She may be able to help. Do you have an address for the house?
There's been a lot of changes in the city in recent times...it may not still exist!

**rfr10** · 02-Oct-09, 19:46

I'll be living in Dundee for the next 4 years but unfortunately I do not have a camera. If I did, I would try and help you out.

Sorry!

ARGHHH!!!! D C Thompson Photo Sales, dont mention this!!! I worked in their Photo-Lab from 1972 to 1974 and all day long I was printing, sometimes for the Publications but mostly for the Photo Sales that had been ordered from the Public.

Mind you must be a lot easier now being Digital but when I had to do it it was all Wet D&P. Never Again!!!

Thanks again Aaldtimer, I have passed that on and he has sent a request in.
I have been having a play with this google street map, it's unbelievable.

Cheers for your help. KM

That's a stiff sentence for a first offence, is there any chance of parole?

If not I recommend this poster

and a geology hammer.

Google Streetview is indeed very special but I wish they'd told me they were coming and I would have washed the car and the upstairs windows beforehand.

So you never wash the upstairs windows then? How skanky!

That poster is probably a good idea, if only because it will confuse the Dundee people long enough, they'd be wondering where the colour has gone, for you to run away.

Welcome back my psychic friend, how are conditions in the org jail and were you well treated? Have you been exiled to Dundee too?

It was worse than that.....he was exiled to Castle Crayola.

Hello again. Org jail was interesting, primarily because I couldn't tell if "Moderator", who contacted me a few times whilst there, was human or some piece of computer text. On one hand, the messages and lack of responses to almost all my comments seemed automated. On the other, the spelling in the messages suggests to me that "Moderator" may not be as automated as I thought. Oh well, I'm over it and am now deciding whether to sue for damages because my ban was lifted 3 minutes late. And no, I'm one of the lucky many not to be exiled to Dundee - I am instead in the beautiful city of Edinburgh.

I think I washed them once but hanging out the windows attached only by my toenails isn't my idea of fun. I have a wee man to come and do them for me.

I thought you'd withdrawn that one.

I am familiar with the beautiful city of Edinburgh and indeed I was through there all day today. What a dismal day it was.

You shouldn't take umbrage at the Org's moderators for they shall determine your posting privileges forever more.
