@All Were those TV shows locally produced? Didn't you Guys grow up with Hannah Barbera? Those dudes ruled in Naija in the '80's |

@coola: Yep we had Hanna-Barbera cartoons on local tv...first one that comes to mind is the Smurfs.
Back in 80s we had few local drama on tv compared to nowadays where there's a lot of local production.

@ coola,
Not all the ones mentioned were. Some were dubbed into various SA languages.
Hanna-Barbera's cartoons from that period probably didn't come to mind as much, as they have been shown and re-run so many times that there isn't much nostalgic value attached to them, I guess.
Personally, I've only been intigued by one of their far more recent offerings, in the form of the very off-beat 'Cow and Chicken.' |

@da wanqsta: Sorry to hear about the whale who died...I only got the news about an hour ago.
How it could've lived in the Thames is a mystery seeing that it's so polluted.

@ brix,
Yeah, it's not everyday that you see a whale swimming passed the Houses of Parliament and the M.I.5 buildings.
Poor thing.
The Thames has been cleaned up substantially in past years,(a far cry from Victorian times!), and they have managed to introduce various fish into some of the estuaries further on,but it's still rather er...undesirable.

I think the amount of river traffic and noise must've been extremely traumatic for the mammal.
Oh well, in true Pom style, they did what they could when it comes to stranded animals. At least it's out of its misery.

Howzit going, Geeksta? Nice to have ya around, boet. Guys, speaking of cartoons, something i've always wondered, which colour does a Smurf turn when it's being choked? lol, pity Gargamel never had one of em in a chokehold in any of the episodes i saw. Brix, you going to be in the Mama City Easter time? I'm heading thataway to spend some time with my brother, would be great to sit down and have a coffee with you and whoever may be in the area at that time.

Still don't know my exact plans for that weekend...chances are that I'll probably be stuck in Slaapstad even though I promised some people that I'l be in Kimberley over that weekend.
If I'm around we can definitely sit down for a cold Amstel at my fav spot on Long Street.

Still haven't managed to wean myself off the Labels, although i enjoyed Amstel long before i discovered Labels. Mind you, not often i drink a cold one, since my dad imparted the advice that the Water Of Life actually does extend one's lifespan ;-) for some reason our family doctor agrees with that opinion...

Check this out:
Buy £50 airtime (approx R560) from Carphonewarehouse and get a Nokia 1100 for absolutely FREE on PAYG!
It's on the Carphonewarehouse's own 'Fresh' network (roaming with T-Mobile),which has one of the cheapest PAYG tariffs.
Being on Fresh, it'll also mean that the handset won't be locked either.
http://www.carphonewarehouse.[....]N06NOK1100&origin=SPECIALOFFER
Yes the 1100 is about as basic as you get, but still, to get any handset for free on PAYG...
@ brix,
Hope your stomach has recovered completely from that burger-bug.

@da wanqsta: I'm feeling much better now. Anyone notice the big fuss being made about Vodacom's 3G tv service? R10/day to access it sounds pretty cheap before the novelty wears off. Just using the T68i after a while and have to say I'm still impressed with the T9 implementation.
