@boto: Neither, I'm British
Depends on your viewpoint on if I'm British or European, anyways, I'm going off topic (again!) I just got talking with the guy who started this thread!

true true.
not to forget iran's HUGEEE land which makes it at least 10 times costier than Iraq to invade, let alone the number of forces they might need. geographically, it is 100 times harder than iraq or afghanistan as well!! from west, we are guarded with mountains, and from east, deserts between iran and afghanistan!! we are only vulnerable from sky, i think!
oh sammy, i have nothing against the american people! i mean, look at the people, i hardly see anyone on the net, tv, streets who like the government!! really! in fact i have losta american friends...
one thing is they get my jokes!!! hehe! i tend to joke a lot, and usually asians and well, some eurpoeans don't get my jokes!! like i don't get theirs! but americans do! similar thinking i guess.
anyways, ammm....boto43, nice to have you onboard!
ya, iran and x-soviet union have pretty good ties, well, at least after the iraq war! cuz then you guys offered them weapons...but now we are great.
and you are right...true that muslims are realllly messed up now and there is absolutely NOOOO unity between them, but it's ain't gonna be that way forever. once we get on our nerves, red alert!!
i was just thinking, what in the world are we talking so much politics for!! this is not relevant at all..
i'll go back to SE!!
i just formatted my drive...let's see what happens...i brought along my charger as well!! just in case!! i am fed up of using the phone only for 3 hours!! >:(

Yeah, no more politics, too much politics on TV. That is why I prefer to be on the PC rather than watching the TV
.
I am waiting on the Sony Ericsson Z1010, is it out over there? How much?
The son of a mofo is taking forever to be released here
There was an esato news story saying it has been shipped to the middle east a while back... so yeah.
My NEC e808 is a pain to carry around and use (first generation 3G phone, bulky and buggy grrrr..)
Is your family originally from Tehran? My dad is from Tabriz and my mother is from Shiraz, they moved to Tehran after getting married and had 2 kids there (my sisters) then moved to the US, and then finally, Australia.

no...my father's from north, my mom's from west!
it's quite hard to find pure tehranis these days! lot of mix marriages!
err...to be honest i haven't seen z1010, cuz i haven't looked for it...
i used z600 for a while...it SUCKED big time...it looked good though!
but i am sure it's already here!
everything comes here very fast..no worries on that. it's also much cheaper here.
which part of OZ are you?
you and your sisters much have an age gap then! that would be niiiiiice!!! hehehe!

Yeah, my sisters are 16 and 14 years older than me, out of the house and have their own kids to raise. I have been an uncle from the age of 7, currently an uncle of 3 and expecting a new nephew end of this year.
I live in Perth, a city on the Western coast of Australia, with a 1.5 million population, tiny compared to Tehran's 14 million people
.
May I add that we are a very clean city, almost zero pollution and the streets are clean enough to eat off! (well, most of them... and no, I wont eat off the ground)
So that is one advantage over Tehran, hehe. What percentage of people drive paykuns? Those things pollute a hell of a lot.

@milad - I think I sound more anti-American than I actually am! Anyway, I'll stop there before things get political again!
With regards to charging your phone, if you have a car, I'd get yourself a car charger, then you can top you battery up if it's low whilst on the way to work or something. Failing that, you can get these chargers which plug into your USB port and you can charge the phone from that. If all else fails - I've got this wind-up phone battery charger I always keep in my bag - it makes your hand ache after a few minutes winding, but could be well worth it if it provides enough power to make that crucial phone call! It's also very small and portable, so it can be taken anywhere. Either that, or you could buy yourself a spare battery and take one of those around with you for extended time away from the mains supply!
btw, given that I'm not from Iran and posting in the Iran thread, I'll go away if you like!

oh hohoho! no no no my friend!
tehran is not like what it used to be!!
it's so cleaaaaaan now! like you won't believe!!
i am serious. i was so surprised. some ppl still throw garbage out their car windows but no worries, we have a good mayor! they clean the city very well. and lotsa plantations...you see flowers everywhere!
tehran's very beautiful...specially in spring.
and peykans!! yesss! they are still on the streets, but the police is stopping all cars that are smokey!! and to help them buy new cars, they give them special loans....and...you have heard about iran's new cars right? we have Samand, which is quite good, and looks somewhat like volvo s60...quite classy and with reasonable price.
cars i wouldn't worry, the traffic i will!! traffic jams here are killer. it's very bad man.
though they are constructing new roads quite often. jam is worse in city centre.
and sammy, what are you talking about!! anyone's welcome here...
don't even mention it. we are happy that name of iran has attracted you to come and join us!

I wonder why our media has been covering Irans events recently, I am suspicious.

what a tragedy man....
i donno when they are gonna take some action...
driving is an art in iran!! rather a stunt! you really must buckle up to go in the street!! i had 2 accidents the first week i came to iran!
mirrors are not enough when driving! you need both you eyes open all the time, plus you need someone else sitting beside you! hehe!
aaargggh!! what's bothering me is that when face to face, ppl die for each other, like they wanna pay for others' food and stuff, you know, all the 'taarof', but when it comes to driving and queues in general, it's a messs!!!! no one steps down.
i really regret this behaviour...
sometimes ppl look surprised at me, when i give them way!! in many countries i have seen, driving is a part of their charachteristic...part of their personality. it's sad that we have to be this way...
