P1i pic taken late this afternoon from the school's roof garden again.
A vanilla sky (minus any Hollywood actors, LOL) separates the cluttered east London horizon from a looming mass of nimbostratus clouds rolling in from the North.

The
W380 has already dropped in price by £10, now just £69.95 (approx R1050) when bought with the usual tenner's worth of airtime at CPW:

Good luck wrt the application, Brix. If it's successful we'll rope in Jojo to give you the grand tour of Manila before you head to the island
Seems that the news hasn't broken yet... Standard Bank, Absa and Nedbank are bankrupt! I tried my card at each of their ATM's and kept getting a message reading Insufficient Funds.

Much easier to read text with those changes, Hobbster. Shot, boet.
Would this theme work for my m600i (cant see why not) can sum1 send it to me?
Regarding the banks going bankrupt, fnb is going in the same direction, i get that message more and more frequently

@kryptik: Thanks mate. I've also been getting that message from FNB more than usual.

Always liked that theme other than that grey text against that white swirl.
It used to make my eyes water.
Most themes just need that slight tweak to make them perfect on a personal level.
Put Themes Creator on your PC for tweaking purposes.lol
@Brix.Holding thumbs and toes for you bro.Hope you get the green light.

Pop onto my blog Wangs and check out some screenshots of The SIMS.ttf Font.
I noticed from your screenshots you still stuck on default.
Horrid!!!! lol

With afrikaans been by far the widest read/written first/mother language, I am busy learning it. I am sure most if not all of you in here can understand the following: Roer hulle gatte, die Foro Peruano, gan hulle vorbei steek
Brix or Ama please correct me if you so wish

roflmao! Nice one there, Mario!!
@ all, have a peaceful and blessed Easter. If you're travelling, take care, you guys know how loony people tend to become once they slide behind the steering wheel over the Easter weekend.
Posted by JC08
@ mario, in fluent afrikaans its ' gaan hulle verby steek' did you mean us with that, or to whom was it directed?
Edit: Funny Im the Afrikaans boy and now I made the mistake, just corrected it

@mario: dis verby steek:-) Don't stress about the Peruano's.
@HOBBS: I'm really excited about the possibility because I've always wanted to get involved with research. I'll know by Tuesday whether I've been accepted for the programme.
Dunno if someone already cited this but MTN published their results today...61,4 million subscribers...R73 billion revenue- up by 42%. Nigeria is now the group's largest market with 16,5 million subscribers. Across all markets average revenue per user(ARPU) has been down due to various factors, mostly linked with demand outstripping network availability.

Tx for the correction bud
. @Kript, I concur with you - today (well this morning) was raining here and believe me 1/3 of all vehicles drove with the lights off ! ! ! Now I have a good speed cop friend (yeah you know I have friends too) and I have talked with him about the 'lights' thing. He confirmed, if one writes the driving exam one of the questions asks when the headlights must be switched on: I have decided to shortly (well when I get back to work and is raining/very poor visibility) to pull over one of the many taxis driving with the headlights off and not give him a fine but open a docket of negligent or reckless driving, (depending on the conditions). I don’t want to be a ‘pain in die gat’ , but if I save a single accident/injury/life, I won’t feel bad about it.
Greetings from Jeffrey’s
Mario
P.S. Here is my contribution x2 to the forum.
P.P.S All of you, have a niceand peacefull Easter .

Just watched the news...Volkswagen's Uitenhage factory will close for FIVE days due to a slow down in sales...I guess that's what you get when you overprice your products. Why can't just cut prices to move their stocks?

yay. . .its coke fest today. cnt wait 4 korn. just confused why im not really excited. maybe it will kick in wen i get there
Posted by GUCCI.011
@ Kyle
Nice one bro,enjoy it!! im not going this year.
Posted by amawanqa
@ Kyle,
You lucky, lucky bugger, LOL.
Korn's one of a few fave bands that I've yet to see live. (Seen Slipknot, Rammstein, Soulfly, Killswitch Engage, System Of A Down, etc etc).
Hope Jonathan Davis hauls out the bagpipes for the start of Shoots & Ladders. Wonder who shares the guitar work with Munky now that Head's moved on.
Also hope they play some of their older stuff, like Clown, ADIDAS, Somebody Someone, Falling Away From Me, etc.
Enjoy.
Posted by HOBBS
'Yay! Its coke fest today.Cnt wait for Korn.'That sounds like excitement to me Kyle.I was going to go to the last one,but then the mainliner guns n roses pulled out and that was that.
Posted by amawanqa
@ Hobbster:
LOL, with Axl Rose's reputation and well-documented unreliability, I guess that was no major surprise as such, just downright disappointing.
Posted by brix25
This day is endlessly dragging on...despite the good weather, I'm still sick as a dog.
EDIT: Just finished the java version of Need for Speed ProStreet and its bloody disappointing.
Ok, maybe I'm just sick with flu and bloody bored on Good Friday.

Yep, a welcome break indeed, Hobbs. Was my bestest buddy's 40th birthday yesterday, had a little get-together last night. There should be quite a few throbbing skulls this morning after the way some of the guests punished the fire-water, lol
Posted by HOBBS
Firewater lol I cant indulge.Im allergic to ñmost kinds of firewater (bar some of the clear ones-vodka,gin ect its quite a pain in the ass not been able to participate but in the long run,maybe a good thing.ive quite an addictive personality and if the firewater had to agree with me,who knows i might have turned out to be a FisherKing.lol

My korean friend with the E61 was quite impressed with the handwriting recognition feature on this phone.Mmm maybe we have another UIQ3 convertee on the way with the P1i for his upgrade.

@ Hobbster:
Shot for the link, boet.
Had a quick browse at the applications in the downloads section there. Never heard of the site before.
@ Gucci:
We'll try meet up with you guys at Monte Casino when we're in Jozi in late August. I dig the place as well.

coke fest was awesom. he did bring out the bag pipes 4 the 1 song. i dnt knw who replaced the other dude. they played falling away from me. and a few others. the names hve just slipped my mind. jared leto from 30 seconds 2 mars is CRAZY!! he climbed up 1 of the towers. there was 1 chick that said she wanted his sperm. really crazy. thats the only bands i liked. muse had great light effects. they were perfectly synced with the guitarest and drumer
Posted by JC08
@ ama I surely will
@ brix in comparison to what im used to they were really neat and tidy, but also tiny, we were in Prieska, Vosburg, Wiliston, Calvina, Vredendal an now we went past Clanwilliam! Were in Cape Town tomorrow and the were going to Riebeek-Castle for a few days...
Posted by amawanqa
@ Kyle:
Ya, Muse's guitar work is usually nothing short of amazing, but the whiney vocal delivery just doesn't do it for me.
Posted by GUCCI.011
Ama
Yep Its realy a great place, im sure you're gona love how they have extended it, have you been to Sandton's Nelson Mandela Square? Thats how the new side of it looks plus theres a huge theatre place called the Teatro (where they had The Lion King) and also a "dancing" fountain in the middle, kinda makes Nelson Mandela Square look boring compared to the Monte version lol.
@ Hobbs
Great site
@ JC
Agh you lucky, you guys are on holiday now right?
@ Kyle
Shweet man,glad to hear you enjoyd it!
@ Brix
Have you decided on what to upgrade to?
@ all
Have you seen the I-Mate Ultimate 9502? Looks like a real E90 killer, it weighs 200g, has a 400mhz Qualcomm CPU, 2.8"inch VGA Touchscreen, TV/Audio Output, QWERTY keyboard, 3.2mp camera with Autofocus,Quadband HSDPA, 1620mAh battery, WM6, A-GPS etc. . . A real mini computer in my opinion, its got the same kind of form as that American T-Mobile Sidekick, i wonder when will it get to SA,im sure its going to have one major price tag on it, heres the link to its specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/i_mate_ultimate_9502-2158.php

Posted by kyle_274
i dnt like muse. also because of his vocal work. he has skill. he plays guitar and keyboard. he has a gud voice. just uses it in the wrong way. i had 2 record them 4 my bro's gf. it was tough. lol. the w800 didnt do a bad job at recording. i was about 15 or 20 never away from the stage. u cud just see ppl on the stage. i mostly recorded off of the big screen. wasn't bad. i wish foo fighter will come 2 the next 1. and slipnot mudvayne B.4.M.V

@ Gucci:
Ya we went to Nelson Mandela Square in Sandton back in 2005. Took the obligatory pics of us next to that massive statue of Madibz. Look forward to checking out the changes at Monte Casino.
Posted by amawanqa
@ Kyle:
My nephew went to a Bullet For My Valentine gig here about 2 years ago. He also had a chance to meet the band in person when they released their album at the main Virgin Megastore in Oxford Street, central London back then.
Haven't seen them in concert myself though.
Not sure if Mudvayne are still around; they've been quiet for some time. I'm not mad of most forms of remixes, but I managed to get a fantastic extended mix of Mudvayne's iconic song 'Dig'. Really keeeewwl.
Posted by brix25
@da wanqsta: Lately Nelson Mandela Square and the Michaelangelo Hotel has become the preferred spot for women intent on ending their lives.

Eish, didn't realise that; just found an article on News24 about those jumps from the Michaleangelo Hotel etc.
Well guys, it's snowing here at the moment!
Yesterday was a few small hailstone downpours (amongst periods of sunshine!) and some sleet.
Today it's The White Stuff precipitating all over.
The weather's all haywire over the past few days! So much for having a repeat of last year's fantastic Easter weather..

Thanks for the heads-up re Mudvayne, Dickster.
Yeah Korn and Machine Head are the two that I regret not seeing to date. Oh well, hopefully next time..
BTW, I believe Slipknot's 4th studio album is being produced by the guitarist of (disbanded) Ugly Kid Joe.
Looking forward to its release later this year.
