Try this. This link worked for me yesterday (on a PC)
http://www.cnet.com/news/get-google-earth-pro-for-free/

I didn't have to register to get the Pro version.

Keryx made it work for me, I guess i'm not as smart as I think I am. Sorry for my earlier rant.

Here's an article on things Pro can do that regular Google Earth can't.

A site to kill your social media or public profile accounts. Can't vouch for it though.

I know, not even a clue they exist. I laugh at people who have seen it all because they've flown to major cities in 50 countries. All that seat time is an opportunity to read about it, though. :haha:

I've driven through 49 states, Mexico, and all the Canadian provinces. Now I can say with confidence what I've seen is miniscule percentage of North America.

Here's a British book from 1974 describing the Policeman's job. Access the whole book for free.

I have fond memories of Ladybird Books from my childhood, however I don't recall reading that one.

Or any quite like it. Strange really.;)

glatt 02-24-2015 09:35 AM

No way. That can't be real.

Edit: OK, I clicked the link. So now I wonder who messed with the book and how it got there. I like it though. It's funny.

It isn't, it's very much a spoof.

xoxoxoBruce 02-24-2015 09:44 AM

I don't know, things were different back in '74. :haha:

I think that the humour is magnified because the Ladybird Books originate from a very different, and much more innocent, age.
Generations of people in the UK will have fond memories of them from childhood.
