Ja looks uber-kewl alright.Bloody expensive though.The price of the E90 just doesnt want to come down.Im hoping by the time May comes that E90 is available on an affordable contract package cause I think its time to experience the joys of owning a Communicaaaatttter.Will keep the P990 forever as long as it will breathe life.I want to try pull Vodacoms arm and try get my upgrade early,like say April/May.God its going to be exciting choosing a new handset.Going to pass on the P1i,W960,Tytn2,N958gb,N82 ect and head straight for that black beauty of a brick.Mmmm

Raining loads today.
Walking through the park again long after work, I couldn't resist taking a pic of the of the lamp post n' tree combo, with all the rain drops reflecting light in their own little ways.
So under the shelter of a brolly tonight, wind blowing and the rain coming down, I take a pic with the

@ Jojo,
The new wavey-pattern disc brakes for those Tokico calipers for the TL arrived from The Far East today.
They're for the Suzuki superbike, mate. (TL).
I'm only fitting them in late February, just before it goes for its yearly roadworthy test. (MOT). I'll fit the new calipers etc all at the same time.
The standard brake discs and calipers will be used until then, after all there's still plenty 'life' in them.

@ Jojo,
The N82 bid is actually for my nephew's 21st birthday.
Can't justify 2 high-end phones when I spend enough on the bikes etc.
About the Porsche phone..would you believe that Sagem are manufacturing it?!
There's loads of info on Google about it.

Huh, here are 2 nice pictures
Furthermore, another man got kiled in our 'location' - nothing special would one say - until you realise he was a xhosa shot by a Somalier with a stholen handgun (in Knysna 1998). Then 300-400 Xhosas burned all 7 Somali shops in Jeffrey's. The police was soooo disorganised. Needless to say- most police man/women at the scene have enough 'provisions' for months to come
And yes I took a few pics (and even a video clip) but was strongly advised by fellow members not to do anything 'stupid' (As you also have realized by now - I am a extrovert)

Intesting PR piece for those amongst us using Mig33.
16 January 2008
MIG33 LAUNCHES PREPAID DISTRIBUTION IN SOUTH AFRICA
BURLINGAME, California, January 16/PRNewswire/ Ä
- Registration in Area Balloons to 2 Million; Prepaid mig33 Offering to be Available in More Than 1,000 Retail Locations across South Africa
mig33, the global mobile social network, today announced the company obtained a distribution license in South Africa with the assistance of the DNR Group. The company’s first partnership in South Africa with Lutiek Distributor enables mig33 to offer prepaid services at more than 1,000 retail locations to the more than 2 million people already using mig33 across the country. The company is actively working to expand its presence in the area and hopes to announce similar partnerships in the coming months.
With this deal mig33 is now a viable option for prepaid card vendors looking for a differentiated product to add to their distribution channel, opening access to mig33’s loyal base of repeat buyers to them for the first time. Unlike traditional prepaid phone cards which just offer voice calls, mig33’s prepaid offers users access to a mix of free and inexpensive services like VoIP calls, instant messaging, text messaging, social networking and community features, and in the future mobile content, allowing users to apply their prepaid value to a variety of services beyond international voice.
“So many companies focus on areas of the world where they can generate the most advertising revenue, which means the majority are focused solely on the U.S. and UK,” said Steven Goh, co-founder and CEO of mig33. “Those areas are very important for us as well, but relatively smaller markets like South Africa are often overlooked and are hungry for attention. These areas can drive a lot of data revenue for a company willing to take the time to attend to them.”
mig33 works on most mobile phones, even basic models, regardless of carrier, and creates an instant global mobile community experience to share with existing and new friends. The technology was built for the mobile phone, making mig33 an integrated and easy way to access and use instant communications around the globe. Users share content while chatting in forums or specific chat rooms they create to build their own personal communities.
For more information about mig33 please visit http://www.mig33.com.
About mig33
mig33 is the award winning global mobile Internet community. Located in Burlingame, California, mig33 was named DEMOGod at the fall 2007
DEMO Conference, and selected as the winner of Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal’s 2007 Emerging Technologies Awards in the category of Social Networking. With more than 9 million global users already, mig33 offers mobile phone users the power of the Internet and cost savings on VoIP calls, text messaging, instant messaging, chat rooms, profiles and photo sharing.

Mario, that's quite scary, boet... Tjoksville and Kouga seem to be hotspots at the moment. The same xenophobic trend is rife here as well. I've threatened my kids with a punishment worse than death if ever i hear them using that ugly word to refer to foreign nationals, or if i hear they've been involved in any way with the looting of shops belonging to foreign nationals. It's ugly.
Gucci, i'm happy to hear that you had a good first day back, mate. May the rest of the year progress just as smoothly.

Dang, that's one styling Gucci belt, Gucci.
It's great when friends, family etc put that kind of thought into (appropriate) gifts n' pressies.

Ya did NOT consider in gettin' the E90

Posted by amawanqa
@ Jojo,
Thanks mate. Yeah, I guess the pics didn't come out too bad for sunset shots.
Busy marking test papers at the moment, so I'll occasionally be back and forth around the PC for the next hour or two...

@pop - When will school END at your end matey
At my end, school year is from : June to March (following year . . .) House the grading system in your school pal by percentage ? then those percentage are then reprsented by: letters
Posted by amawanqa
@ Jojo,
School in the UK is from September to July.
In SA it's (usually) from mid-January to early December.
In the UK, the test marks are then converted into 'Levels'. Within these levels there are 3 sub-levels demarcated with the letters a, b and c.
BTW, have you seen this video? Someone took a Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa engine and put it into a 'Smart Car'! Look how wild the car performs now:

..and dragging a Ferrari

You can hear those Yoshimura exhaust pipes screaming from that superbike engine in that Smart Car:

Yup, 1300cc Hayabusa engine used.
Well, I've now finished doing schoolwork for tonight.
I'm on a course straight after school on Thursday; the course is about new exam procedures, so I've got a looong day ahead...
Hope you're having a good thursday, matey.

Day Two of the academic year, and already there's the usual weeping and wailing, not wanting to get out of bed, the refusal to get dressed and go to school, but eventually my better half had the upper hand and forced me to go to work

Posted by gola
so i went to the vodacare to complain about my phone...first they claimed they never opened the phone before,yeah right.so i told them to check it on their system as to where it has been,turns out it was sent to bloem.which got me wondering why are they called vodacare if they can't fix phones themselves and have to send it somewhere else.so anyways it's the vodacare at bloem that messed the phone up and they'd have to send it to them to fix it...so i just took my phone and left...now where did i put my screwdriver set? ? ?

@ Wanqa
Thanx boet,So true, great pics with the P1 there,im sure you worked out that those low quality pics i posted were taken by the N81, the camera may not be great but Nokia could just fix it up a bit IMO.
@ Jojo
Thanx mate, no i didn't get a N95, thats my friend's N95-8GB in the pic, yep its one hell of a phone!
Posted by *Jojo*
@gucci - So, it was just FOR an experience holding that N95 matey
Posted by HOBBS
I dont think that N81 camera can be that bad dude,I think your photography skills are just up the pole.A bad worker always blames his tools Wanga's P900 takes better pics than that lol Only jokes buddy.You just seem to have a bit of the shakes when you take pics.You need to attend TheWangaCellPhoneSchoolOfMagnificentPhotography. lol
Posted by GUCCI.011
@ Jojo
Lol! Yep just an experience, but we like switching phones a lot, so some days il use the N95 and he will use the N81, we did the same when he had the N91-8GB and i had my N80.
@ Hobbs
yep in well lit places it aint bad but you will be horriefide by the low light pics.
Lol can't argue with that every time i press down to take a pic i move a bit rather than shake,can't help it.
Posted by gola
hey GUCCI hows the fifa 08 that came with your 'next episode'
compared to the real fifa 08?
Posted by HOBBS
Im horrified by the way you spelled 'horriefide' lol
Posted by Kryptik
lol, and i'm horrifried
Wanqa, I've been working with kids of all ages, sizes and descriptions for many years, but this year is the very first that i have a pupil named Wanga in my class
Seems you've gained a namesake of sorts, boet
Posted by GUCCI.011
@ Gola
Its great hey!
its like PS-1 graphics, not as easy to play on a phone as it is on a console with a controler, mobile gaming still has a long way to go when it comes to ergonomics thats for sure.
@ Hobbs
i was just testing you LMAO! Pmpl!
@ Kryptik
Posted by HOBBS
I hate gaming on mobile phones.Just aint fun.
If you wanna see P990 pics taken with my phone I started posting some on my bloggie.More to follow.
Posted by amawanqa
@ Kryptik,
LOL, I taught a 'Wanga' when I was teaching grade 7 in EL. He wasn't the most attentive character, and I'll never forget when one of the teachers, who was a 'When-We...' (i.e. "ex-Rhodesian") , battled to pronounce some of the more indigenous names properly (usually not pronouncing the first vowel flat at all). So when Wanga messed up something badly in the big quad one day, ol' Mr Haig-Smith shouted "WANGA!" out loud. The incorrect pronounciation had all the staff (and most of the kids) turning their heads, wondering if what they heard was one thing or another...LOL.
