You can't have a heart condition to support England!!
Quite a roller coaster of a game, that. Glad they're through though, set up a showdown with Portugal.
I don't think that anyone's too worried in this country about this situation with the 3 boats, other things (like England winning last night!) have taken precedence in the news, and I think the better relations between the UK/Iran will help also.
With regards to your battery - you're using a P800 or P900, aren't you? My P800 eats through a charged battery even if I'm not using if a huge amount - it will last about 2, maybe 3 days maximum! it's one of the phone's downsides I think. I think there's a couple of thread on battery life and how to treat batteries on the forum, but can't remember exactly what they're called.

Hey, my parents come from Iran
Born and raised in Australia though (Parents have been here for 23 years), never been to Iran, but my father went back there a few months ago for a visit.
Thankfully my parents left there before the revolution (I aint muslim, so I dont really agree with a religous theocracy) and went to the US to live there and raise my two older sisters there.
He hasnt been there for 25 years, he was quite surprised at all the changes that have occurred since he left
About the relation with Arabic to Persian, there isnt really any correlation between the two. Persian is an Indo-European language, Arabic is an afro-asiatic language (aka Semitic).
Sure there are a lot of borrowed words in some dialects, but that doesnt mean much, Spanish isnt related to Arabic but borrows a lot of words from it, probably more so than Farsi.
Remember though, a lot of our linguists and poets also contributed to arabic, giving the once muddled and disorganised language a solid grammatical structure.
"I am Dariush, the Great King, the King of Kings
The King of many countries and many peoples
The King of this expansive land, the son of Wishtasp Achamenia
Persian, the son of a Persian, 'Aryan', from the Aryan Race "
I would really like to brush up on my Farsi skills sometime, I cant even read the Nastaliq alphabet... only UniPers (
www.unipers.com )

hahahahaha!! nice to have you with us jaymo!!
jeeeezez!!
now that's a nationalist!
that completes what i was talkin' about! hehe!
right, it's parsi...and iran's persia...they changed the name during one of the Shahs...i don't remember which!!
anyways, as to your question, mobile phones are really common here...except that, as i said earlier, SIM cards are too expensive to have! about a $1000 or so. other than that it's fine...no or little GPRS though...
your parsi is not bad, for a guy who hasn't been to iran! but hopefully your parents talk in parsi eh?!
i too lived half of my life abroad...and i met MANY people who are dying to go back to iran..but can't, cuz of political reasons...or simply cuz they are scared!! i too was scared to come back here...but now when i think of it, it's heaven here...for us i mean!! for us iranians...foreigners, may not like some of our customs at first...specially religious ones...until they understand them.
i really hope all iranians come back to iran and build it up...
we CAN unite...we can be happy like after iran-australia soccer game that led us to world cup after 28 years!! or after beating USA in that same period!!
we can join hands and rebuild Bam city, after the deadly earthquake...
but...we only must try.
like sammy's signature, "All it takes for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing" - Edmund Burke
so let's be the good guys and speak up!!
oh and sammy, i just saw the news about the english navy boats!! come on man! what were they really doing there?! Mr straw said they were there by mistake?! our news said they had very detailed maps of iran...they said they are not sure yet, but from what they said it implied to me that they were kinda spying or something!! or gathering information to be fair!
but one thing is for sure, they didn't have clearification from our marine forces.
and...mr straw said they came there by mistake...hmmm!
politics is really strange these days!!
cheers!

@whizzkid - happy birthday!!!
@milad - I very much doubt those men were spying - they probably got lost, or their map reading was woeful!! Why would they be gathering information? I'm pretty sure we're not planning anything nasty towards Iran - although I couldn't speak for the Americans, with Bush in charge they're pretty unpredictable...... btw, how do you feel about being described as being part of an 'axis of evil' by Mr. Bush? Not good I would guess - I would be pretty miffed at being called that!!
About your battery life - it would be interesting to see how long your battery lasts without installing any camcorder software, and compare it to how long it lasts with it installed. Signal strength can have something to do with battery life as well - I live in a fairly weak signal area so my phone has to work harder for a decent signal. I sometimes leave it connnected to the GPRS as well, which probably drains it a bit.

hey whizz! happy birthday pal!
sammy, if you ask me, through what we learnt in history classes, england was always on iran's nerves!! but you guys are really smart! i mean smart!! i think mr blair, if not more, is just as guilty as Bush.
about the navy men, why not!! they could be spying...i don't rule that out. but who knows! the gulf is a very sensitive area.
and...axis of evil?!! it's a joke to me...as funny as when he said you are either with us, or against us! i really laugh at bush when he talks..he reminds of my 10 year old cousin...he uses the same method to intimidate his sister!!!! you guys have seen his clips on letterman show, or all the late shows right?!! my favourite is the fool me once thing and the nose picking!! love that guy!!
but sammy, i really don't like to sound over confident or blindfoldedly love my country...but even if we are as bad as what bush says, he can NEVER attack us...i know my people. we may not like our government, but we LOVE our land and each other. if he even thinks of attacking us, he'll be sorry!!
8 years...8 damned years of war with iraq...why? cuz they took few of our cities...we could have stopped the way in the middle and let go of the deserted city...and save billions of dollars and millions of lives, but no, it was our land. and we were alone in that war, not to forget.
and...goooooood point!! my office has VERY bad coverage...the signal indicator is jumping nonstop...you got a point there.
but ain't the phone ALWAYS searching for network?! does it change anything?
and...noooo! no more camcorder for me!! i am happy the way it is!! hehe! not worth the battery life...the quality is tooo bad anywayz!

I have to say as well I think that if the US invaded Iran it would be a big mistake - all this warmongering simply makes more terrorists and makes more people hate the US! I've heard something similar to what you said as well, that many people in your country don't like the leadership there, but don't want the US invading to effect 'regime change'. As ever, the innocent civilian just wanting to lead their life, go to work, raise a family, etc. would suffer.
I do not hate the US, but really dislike Bush!! You're right, he is funny unintentionally a lot of the time, he can't really be that thick, can he!?!!? Although it is kinda worrying that this joke of a man is in charge of the worlds last remaining superpower..... I have to admit the American arrogance tends to piss me off a bit sometimes. Nothing against the American people in general, of course!
Interesting what you say about the camcorder software - I've been wondering about getting hold of a copy of it for my P800, I don't think I'll bother any more! The battery lasts better when in a good/full signal area, I had a T610 that lasted about 3 days on a full charge when at home, and when out on my placement where the signal strength is full, the battery lasted 4-5 days.

USA can't invade all islamic countries. They occupy just two countries and they are sick of it. Iran is a big independent country who still have some ties with Russia or better with former Soviet Union and
Iranian ppl doesn't have to be afraid of us invasion . Btw Sammy are u Iranian or European? Hope u know what I mean. ;-)
