pedantic.obstreperous.reprobate

Post by Graeme »

pedantic.obstreperous.reprobate doesn't appear to be a place in w3w.

///pedantic.observers.relocate is a search result suggested though, so probably quite apt for an astronomer. It looks really dark in the middle of nowhere in the middle of Madagascar!

Ah, Graeme, you have fallen for Chris' whimsical and esoteric sense of humour! :scratch:
He is referring to himself, not to any actual What3Words location! :innocent: :thumbup:

I did get it but wondered if there was such a w3w designation.

Then I found it strangely ironic that the suggested search result was an ideal place for an astronomer!

There is no whimsical.esoteric.humour either but whimsically.exotic.hummer near Kitchamambapuram, Andhra Pradesh, India is suggested!

What 3 words is a brilliant invention! We use it a lot at work to locate cleverly hidden Network Rail access gates. I wonder how many 3m squares there are over the surface of the earth and how many words are required to cover them all? :smile:

Regards

Lord! How you guys do work me!
It's not my fault.
The IT department have messed things up
Again.

Above is what your stupid W3W thinks our street looks like.
My house (well, the bank's house, actually) shows up as an ordinary garden-variety rectangle,

Whereas it is, as this cleverly-sketched plan shows, a fascinating bachelor cabin with corridors, guest room, laundry, study, bedroom, kitchen and porch.
But, I have just realized, after three years, no bathroom,
Untitled3.png
And here is what Google maps sees. A T-shaped cabin with a store (you probably call it a shed, (BobH calls it a garage)) that shields the street from my composting facility.
Your stupid W3W has changed its map source. When I updated the reference about two months ago, the reference was the square which held my little office/study.
I am still here.
I have not been blown by last night's winds (100+Km/hr) any where near Madagascar.
