Gosh, I can smell a heated debate on the merits of gps verses maps coming now!

There is one poster (who has clearly been absent for about a 6-9 month stretch) who has just popped up again; welcome back!

There are shades of Ali G to his arguments; whenever the going got tough for Ali G in any of his interviews with unsuspecting guests, he'd always spring the "is it 'cus I's black?" question - which would always send the guest into a stuttering tail-spin. I don't remember anyone ever turning round and saying "no, it's not because you're black, it's because you're a knob" and, in many way, this was the essence of the long-running joke. No-one was ever prepared to call a ..... shovel a shovel.

So for the record, I reckon that the "you're only having a go at me because I's a low hours pilot" is an extension of this.
