- John Cleese, former member of British comedy troupe Monty Python, will
lend his voice to a new in-car navigation system. Chief Executive of
TomTom, the electronics company in charge of distributing the
technology, is delighted because Cleese's voice "emphasises the fun we
are bringing to satellite navigation."

Just imagine.......
Stuck in your cage and driving down a motorway
Turn right 200m
Turn right 100m
Turn right 50m, are you deaf? Is thing on?
TURN RIGHT NOW
You've had this coming for a long time,
NOW TURN RIGHT, OH YOU STUPID ******* YOU'VE MISSED THE TURN AND OF
COURSE ITS ALL MY FAULT
GET OUT NOW START WALKING, GO ON, GET OUT NO NO I'VE HAD ENOUGH, THATS
IT ENGINE OFF
YOU SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A BIKE THEN SHOULDNT YOU

Yay. Driving is fun!

Especially when you you're too stupid to use a Melway.

I badly need SatNav on my bike!

"Isn't that the church you passed an hour ago?"
"Nah, it couldn't be, that was in another town"
"No, it was in another country and it is THAT CHURCH!"

Now I know why I will never lead a bunch ride.. perhaps if I used those 'map' thingies I hear people talking about.. ?

- Not lost, "exploring".

Damn shame the Pocket-PC version is not available in Aus. Not sure if you
can load Cleese on the TomTom GO units either.
Some of the 'detour' and 'avoid' navigation software would be good if you
could say, "avoid all fumeridden busy main road deathtraps", give me all the
big hills in the middle of my journey, and a nice coast home.... Show me
all good coffee stores on route.
