Do cars need sat-nav? (Whatever happened to the £2.99 road map?)

Maurice, I wouldn't be without my Tom Tom (Sat Nav). It has been absolutely invaluable to me, and a few of my friends have now purchased them once I told them about the benefits.

There is a new one due out soon, and I am hoping to get one. The new one tells you where the speed camera's are, before you get to them, and warns you of the speed limit for each one too. It also allows you to put in a full postcode, unlike the one I have now which only allows the first 4 letters/digits!

Evidently, you can also programme it to tell you where the nearest McDonalds is too. :blink: :)
 
I get lost extremely competently with the help of three different atlases, full navigation instructions from my destination, a mobile phone, and a list of my own driving instructions. I can't help but think Sat-Nav would merely add to my already close-to-perfect feelings of total incompetence as a navigator. I have resorted to driving by the position of the sun before now, which added to the gaiety of the trip, as well as an extra thirty miles.

It helps if you know where you are to start with when using this method Krizon. :P
 
Krizon, you need a Tom Tom, and when I win the lottery, I will buy you one. I brought one for my dear Dad and although he is a not at all technically minded, he found it very easy to use. If he can get to grips with it, absolutely any one can.

Don't get me started on sodding child locks - my 57 year old father has had child locks put on his S-Type Jaguar as his tart on the side has 2 young kids (thank God the child seat has disappeared - how stupid did he look; a middle-aged man in an old man's car with a bloody child-seat???) - how bloody annoying??!!!! I had to sit in the car like a prat today waiting for my brother to open the door for me - he loved it, the little git!!

My father has 2 teenage children, my half brother and half sister, and consequently he had to have child seats in his car when he was in his 50's. Not an "S Type Jag" admittedly but a Volvo estate (another old man's car) and I don't think he looked stupid at all, in fact they are a law that saves kids lives I believe.
 
Well, in my view Kathy, men in their 50s with child seats in the back look exceptionally stupid; particularly as they are simply advertising to the world that they are sad old men going through a mid-life crisis and they can't keep it in their trousers.

Don't flatter yourself Kathy - I wasn't talking about your father for chrissake!! Go back again & read my initial post; I was talking about my sodding father! Yes, I think I am entitled to be a little bitter when my father ditches my mother for a cheap tart 18 months older than me who is after nothing better than a cheap meal ticket for her & her two illegitimate young kids.
 
Dom, having been through a separation after 27 years together, one thing I can tell you is that such matters are NEVER one-sided and no one, other than the two actually involved, ever knows the full story.

Even though my husband left me for a younger model, I know full well that any 'blame' was pretty evenly spread between the two of us and my story is nothing new!

You may think you know all the facts but I guarantee you that you don't.
 
I certainly know enough of them, Jules, I promise you that much. He finished off my Mother doing this, just after they went on a romantic cruise down the Nile for their 25th wedding anniversary, all his idea. She's a bloody trollop anyway, the rough bitch he's taken up with - nowt but a money-grabbing leech.

Sorry Shadow but read your post again. It looks very much to me as it refers to all men in their 50's not just your father and it isn't the first time you have made such sweeping ridiculous statements is it and it amazes me that people don't pull you up on it more often!

Do you ever say nice things about anyone or is nearly everyone you know either a bastard, a leech, or a bitch?

I would never want to be in the same room as Shadow Leader let alone a raft An and I am sure the feeling is 100% mutual. :blink: Her language beggars belief at times.
 
How much can I have on at 4/5, AC? :D

Sweeping generalisation it may be, Kathy - but I think there is something fundamentally wrong with middle-aged men (let alone those in their fifties) either 1) deciding to have more children (what good is it going to do a teenage child to have a parent/s in their 70s for chrissake?) 2) casting aside their devoted wives of nearly 30 years or 3) taking up with young women of dubious morals the same age as their own children. I call it common decency & having proper morals.
 
Krizon - why would I want an old man's car ? :angy:

Just you wait till you see my new Volvo. I might even give you a lift in it :D

1) Well, I'm 50 next month and I would love to have more children but it isn't to be.

3) Your score(s) on the 'How Pure Are You?' test were...? :lol:
 
Simmo... :D

AC: I would love to be cast adrift on a raft with you, too, big boy. No problem about the others - weight will tell, they'll be shoved over the side in seconds, and it'll just be you and me, and the moonlight. :) Which, come to think of it, will be immensely helpful as we sail by the stars...

AC: "For feck's sake, woman, that's Orion up there - we want to stay starboard of that!"

Kriz: "Don't be so bloody stupid - it's Ursa Minor, and we're going to go to port..."

Sound of scuffling, shouts, two loud splashes, and then all is quiet, save for the gentle lapping of waves...

So it is a sweeping generalisation then?

Now, as every one of my messages on this thread is now being edited and Shadow Leader has been allowed the last word, perhaps someone else would like to challenge her on her statement?
 
I think it clearly makes the case for polygamy, myself! Perhaps Islam and other polygamists have got it about right - men's procreative drive seems to last a lot longer than women's (yes, I know, it's all about hormones, etc.), so as long as everyone can get along - or if they can't, the wimmin are supported equally in their own homes - a chap should have as many ladeeeze as his wallet will support, of whatever age, and as many children likewise.

I am actually being a wee bit serious here. The rather sensible basis for polygamy in Islam, anyway, was that as so many men would take up arms against their brothers or the infidel, there would be more women to go round than men. Therefore, if Abdullah met his maker on the field of battle, his widow, rather than being cast alive onto his funeral pyre in the cheery manner of the Hindu, could marry his brother, and look forward to a life of continuing support and social respectability (which once counted for something), and any children would have the continuum of a male leader of the household.

Something that the Chinese may now wish to consider, with the dreadful prospect of some 40,000,000 men remaining in enforced bachelorhood during the next 15 years, thanks to their government's appalling exercise in social engineering, ensuring that millions of girl babies were abandoned to die slowly, in the lunatic 'one family, one baby' policy. Anyone with half a brain could've told them this would happen, when boys are preferred to girls, and a family's limited to begetting one child only. But will governments be told?
