Entry for 12th May, 2008

Welcome to the Blog of the Kindly Cuppa
40 Cups of Tea With 40 Friends
is my goal in life.
And it must be done before 10th July.
Click here to find out why.
If you would like to be my friend and earn a QCT (Qualifying Cup of Tea) then let me know.
No. of QCTs to date: 17
I have invested in a TomTom SatNav.
There seems to me to be something inherently improbable about this device. It's the size of a fag packet, and it contains every road in the UK? Pull the other one. Oh? It's connected to a network of satellites orbiting us in outer space is it? Yes, yes, of course it is. My rusting Mercedes Benz is the obvious triangulation point for multi-million dollar military hardware.
It all sounds very fishy to me. Personally, I choose to believe the more obvious explanation, which is that the Tom Tom is actually the work of the devil. It has not been created by bespectacled boffins in a lab, but has actually been forged by Satan and his army of the damned.
It is not connected to satellites at all. It is powered by the tormented soul of a damned cartographer. His spirit has been captured by Beelzebub and crammed into a little plastic box that sits on my dashboard. There he will sit for all eternity; doomed to patiently tell me to take the third exit at the mini roundabout.
