Billy Connolly has joined the likes of Snoop Dogg, John Cleese and Sven Goran Eriksson by lending his voice to a sat-nav range.

In fairness, it's a better career move than The Boondock Saints.

Yep, TomTom has announced it has teamed up with Connolly to bring the Big Yin’s voice to its GPS devices. Connolly will not only hand out directions but also include zingers such as, “Turn around when possible. It is advisable to turn your entire car around. Do not just turn around inside the car”, in his repotoire.

Apparently other directions of note – all available for €10 here – will include:

“Make a U turn. None of this would have been necessary had you been listening a minute ago”.

“U turn ahead. I’ll be here when you get back”.

And finally…

“After 300 yards you have reached your destination. You may thank me and remember that without me none of this would have been possible and you would have been hopelessly lost.”

Oh, and if you think it isn’t the real Big Yin, it is as Connolly states in TomTom’s press release: “This really is Billy Connolly. It’s not the creepy guy you get on cheap birthday cards. It’s my real voice. No swearing, no dirty bits, I’ll keep you safe”.

Are you convinced? Those jokes already sound old to us so maybe not.
