Reading the Mail&Guardian, Farewell to the Citi Golf, so VW finaly decided to discontinue it, two of my mates got Citi Golfs this year,one is a 1.6Rox the other a normal Velo i think,anyway the latest ones didnt seem so bad, especialy compared to the ones the peeps in the M&G article owned. One Citi Golf i loved was the limited run 1.8R with a mind blowing 110kw, fastest way to the grave though lol. Guess the overpriced Polo will now be VWs least expensive car, read somewhere about one of the new Polo engines being a 1.4T pushing out 88kw, thats not bad at all considering the Ford Fiesta does the same in a larger and heavier 1.6.

Lol, GUCCI & wanqs
Sadly I haven't yet heard that song, will give it a listen.
Here's something rather disturbi-a-ng... http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=1948
What do you guys think, I gotta admit, I bearly listen to lyrics, if a song sounds nice then I like it, end of story. But this music video was pretty dark... And Kanye, what ever happened to him and his Jesus walks type of songs?

P1i pic taken in Stratford, east London, today. This is the area where the 2012 Olympics will centre around. The building work is frenetic all around the place. This isn't the birthplace of William Shakespeare; Stratford-Upon-Avon is nowhere near Stratford in London:

F@CK guys.Its looks like I have some dead pixels on my E90 outer screen and its bugging the shit out of me.Tried to take a screenshot but the screenshot comes out perfect like theres nothing wrong.Its thin black lines just below the row of standby apps and my first line Setup Voicemail.It is in the shape of an E with the middle line continuing back through the E's upright line.Its the length of the word 'voice' in voice mail on the S60 stand-by (font small) and the height of a letter.
Cant believe this.Taking it in first thing tomorrow and telling them to replace the outer screen.
Warranty does cover dead pixels,right?

Ok managed to take closeups of my screen with a N95.This is how it looks.Anyone seen this before.




If anyone thinks it could be something else and has experienced this before and managed to fix it themselves,let me know.

Ye man same here,if i like the beat ima listen,even when its System of a Down the Run This Town vid is pretty dark, so was Disturbia,but that made sense for that to be dark when you hear the lyrics, on a side not respect to RiRi for having a dam Tarantula walk on her,im terrified of those things lol, anyway i think they are taking that I run this town vid too seriously couldnt even finish that article,i was like WTF the whole time. Lol. Good to hear you would consider a s60 bro, hopefuly SE make a non-touch s60 in W995 body, would be perfect.

woah, ye those definetly look like dead pixels unfortunetly,hopefuly they do cover them under warranty, they should though,they fixed the warn out flex ribbon of my N81 under warranty, and that has a much higher chance of being damaged by the owner.

Eish Hobbster, strange to have 'dead' pixels making a formation like that.
I just hope those carrying out the warranty work handle the phone in a decent manner; I'd make it clear that there's no exterior scratches etc before giving it in, and that you expect it to be returned in the same condition (except for the replaced display, of course).

@Wangs Thats one thing I always dread when taking a phone in to be repaired.If they give me back the phone with any sign of damage I'll demand they replace the whole cover or give me a new phone.It's scary though because the inner and outer screens lie back to back.Let's hold thumbs that they are professional and caring.I love this phone and if anyone f@cks it up ,they will get a serious Hobbster bashing.
