My TomTom (GO520) got a software upgrade yesterday, and seems to have gained three new features:

2. Kate now tells me she can’t find a faster route (IQ maps or something)

Or maybe I imagined that.
Anyway, how Norton got an Oscar nomination for it is beyond me. Hurt [...]

But the other day, whilst in Sainsbury’s, I saw Hot Cross Buns!

I’ve given up waiting for the full version of GT5 to come out on the PS3, so will just go back and play GT4 on the PS2 all over again.
