Hero: Ozzy Osborne Sat-Nav

[ojiveojive]

Having learned to read Ordnance Survey maps in 1959 and possessing a loathing for heavy metal only matched by my patronising arrogance I would normally sniff with disdain at the thought of matching my two pet hates, however, today I met a man whose Sat-Nav has the voice of Ozzy yelling, shouting and effing and blinding the instructions out in his endearingly inimitable brummy twang.

Eg "Tek th' next foukin left, ya thingy, goo strayt on at the foukin eyelund" etc., etc. Absolutely magic! I can't wait for it to direct him into a river "Eye toldjo it wuz the rung foukin way, dinneye?" ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Blooming marvellous, my dear. I want one for my bike ;D I can imagine a Gordon Ramsay one next, or a Marvin the Paranoid Android one... the market potential is enormous!

I'm sure both of those shat-nav voices already exist.

Welcome to 2005. Do enjoy your stay!

I am sure you are aware, sir, that I am neither a motorist nor a fashion victim and am therefore not likely to be up to speed with the latest in sat-nav gadgetry!

2005 was rubbish, anyway. Don't want to go back there. It bored me stupid.

2005 was a great year, I got married in 2005 and I still don't need a satnav to find my way around .

Oh not 2005 not a good year for BH either, for reasons close m8s know.

For me it wasn't a bad year. 2007 was a bad year and then some. 2005 was a big zzzzzzzz.
