Looks like somebody clued them in – the URL is returning “Page not Available.”

Glad I saved the pic before the page went down. 😃

Thanks! Too funny!

I guess it was a while since I opened the thread and posted. I HAVE to learn to refresh more often!!!

Yeah, but it’s not quite as funny out of the original context. Now if someone can scrape the original page out of their cache…

I tried to backtrack to it through [archive.org](http://archive.org), and I’m still getting the page not found error. I don’t know if they took it down or if it just got farked - I saw the link there earlier today.  
Either way, it’s amusing. 🙂

I’m not entirely sure, since it was an active script-generated page. You could search your cache folder (where that is depends on your OS) for files containing the name of the image file in question or some other unique wording from the page. If the original page had anti-caching tags, you may be out of luck, though. I wonder if Google cached it. It might have if it was up long enough.

Someone on Fark has kindly provided [this](http://www.triprebate.com/house.html) mirror site. Layout/colors are slightly different, but the effect is, oh quite the same.

Heh. I see the property has just turned up on another listings site – with a new estate agent and a note saying images are not available yet. 😃

OMG, I just noticed that one of their phone numbers is only two digits off from my parents’ home phone number (the one I grew up with)! Freaky.

Ah, well. Enjoy! (At least until the mirror collapses under the bandwidth demand!)
