Ive lost interest in the whole hacking my phone business.Realised Im quite happy with it the way it is.I've read of two people who have bricked a M600 and a P990 after installing the Walkman 3.0 player.Just too little RAM i suppose to handle that beast.
News update on my upgrade Gucci.The Nokia E90 is within my sights and a very high possibility bro.My boss has given me an incentive that if I work my ass off and finish this massive job we have at the moment in 1 month instead of 2, she will dangle 3 grand in my face as a carrot.That means all I have to do is save plus minus 2 grand next month and my pay-in is sorted.
Thats what I mean by creating plan B's Kyle.There is always a way.And I'll make sure (if i've covered all the pay-in logistics) that the day my upgrade is due,I'll walk in on that day and walk out with my phone,unlike some people I know.lol

Thats great news boet! wish i had a boss like that lol!
The E90 is definetly worth every cent of that pay-in. . . .okay maybe not but still its the King of all Communicators!
Does this mean we going to see less of the Hobbster until you've finish the job?

2 Live Crew! Can't remember when last i heard that name... i used to have all their music, years back, until my car was stolen, along with all my discs.

LMAO Hobbs, you're making Bangkok sound like Zim! Speaking of which, there's a new Barbie on the market. She's called Zimbarbie : has no shoes, no makeup, no clothes, no food, no house nor farm, BUT she does come with one handy accessory, i.e. a cow named Moogabi
I'm not superstitious, merely mildly stitious.

LMAO! What other accessories (each sold separately, of course) can be bought for ZimBarbie?
What about distinctive 'Uncle Bob' glasses for that authentic, patriotic and sensible look?
A Great Britain holiday guide with Zimbarbie travel accessories?
The all-new ZANU-PF Poll-Counting maths game, for Zimbarbie to play with all her friends, including her rather quiet neighbour Barbeki? LOL.

There must be more...

@GUCCI: When I landed at the airport yesterday morning(local time) the first sim card they gave me was for the AIS network- Thailand's largest.

For my course, I'm currently staying at the Asian Institute of Technology which is situated right outside of Bangkok but entrance into the metropolis is rather easy through the excellent bus system.

As expected, very few people speak or comprehend English and often I have to use sign language to get my point across to shop assistants.

Thought I'd go shopping for some clothes but I was shocked at all the fake brand name goods being sold in my favourite mall...this also included computer software and music.

I have to get to bed, I have an early meeting in the morning.

P1i pic, night time shot (hence slight 'noisiness') with macro mode: 'nca soetwyn', LOL:



Indoor pic, taken at the London Custom Bike Show on Saturday. Not the sharpest P1i image, but still OK enough to post I guess:

@ gola:
Here's a closer pic of that bike, and matching trailer in the second pic. Some talented metalwork in creating all three of these:

P1i pic: A bit of a kitsch theme perhaps, but very well airbrushed:
