A big congrats to The Mdingi Express for reaching the 300 test wicket milestone.
@ da brixster,
Thanks; I coulda taken some nice pics outdoors today, but I've been so busy fixing up around the garden after the worst gales in the UK for 17 years pummelled properties and gardens here over the past 2 days. Fortunately no damage at all to the house, but the garden has all sorts of debris and branches etc. all over the show.
We're off to our usual Saturday night braaing session now. See ya'll later.

I think I may have found a novel way of falling asleep, as effective as counting sheep perhaps:
scroll through the threads and count how many posts Darth Mario (as mario2002 and mario2004) has, dare I say predictably, slagged off
and worshipped S60, including (again...) this week:
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=139658
Although the latest was perhaps in jest, with predictable references to the N95 (again)... and its GPS capabilities (again)... but many a true thought spoken in jest, wouldn't you say?
Come on Mario, many of us have had both UIQ and S60 handsets and obviously BOTH have their pros and cons.

S60=Damn slow! If
got the firmware right it's top-of-the-range phone might have been a success.

@all. So why is it that whenever I walk into a computer store and ask about a laptop car charger I get a dumb 100 yard stare. They then either don't have stock, having "just" sold the last one or don't carry stock at all. When they do have the can't guarantee that it will work because my specific model isn't listed on the box. If I know the required voltage and amps of course it will work. I can't see the supplier listing every model of every brand on the packaging. The prices are also ridiculous, ranging from maybe R500 to R1500. On ebay I'll probably end up paying R250 max, including shipping.

Agreed, both operating systems certainly have their own strengths and weaknesses. I'm hoping that some boffin will come up with a Symbian app that cures stupidity with the click of a key- my boss.... Ai, let's not go there... Suffice it to say he's the laziest blighter to walk the face of the earth.
Wanqa, i've been hearing of 100mph winds over in the UK. Hopefully your property hasn't sustained any damage. Over here there seems to be consensus that a lynching party ought to visit the weather burea....

Eish,I'm stuffed up!3 days ago we had heavy rainfall here in Nelspruit and my roof had a leak,right on top of my PC,and my monitor is dead.Luckily the computer managed to escape the water.Now l'm using an old 15inch monitor & the manufacture date at the back of the cover dates back to 1994.It's doing the job but it's so small and old.
Anyway How'z everybody doing this Sunday.I just finished watching Poseidon and I spotted a nice Nokia,not sure which model but it had a large screen that looks like the P8,9xx with keypad removed.I think it not out yet.

@ wanqa, i have posted links to that mysonik page before, ages ago. They have updated since. I used to be on it daily for new games, but the new games have become less and less. But this is definately one of the best links. Will check out the other at work tomorrow.
So on the whole nintendo plumber 2002 and 2004 thing, lets assume the plumber was actually a cop and he had a nokio gun, the nokio gun being the safe gun, the commercial gun, the one recommended by the boss because it is more likely to not shoot him in the foot or something. What makes this gun safe? Well, it has a safety lock. Now if you want to shoot you have to un-safety it first. When you shoot it automatically switches on the safety again. If you take more than 2 seconds to shoot it turns on the safety again. So in essence, it is a slow gun. Yep, it kills better and more blood, but it is slow. And for some people that is what makes all the difference. The business world does not wait for you to unlock your phone.So to each his own:)____

Now on my personal reason for preferring my handset-it does what i need and want it to do, and its screen is much brighter than any nokia i have ever seen. And that is when it is dimmed as much as possible. Some of the much newer nokia handsets are getting to an acceptable level on this, but really.
So, a question, i wonder if Mario has shares in Nokia? He seems to be constantly promoting it. Why else? Lets face it, marketing is big, and i will not put it past Nokia buy people to market them.

Howzit jmash.
I think the handset you are referring to is the Nokia 7710.
http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_7710-921.php
It wasn't a big success for Nokia, nor was it on the market for long. MTN stocked them for a short time as well back in late 2005, if memory serves me correctly. You still get the odd one popping up on places like eBay.
Indeed a nice fightback by The Proteas.
@ Kryptik,
Unlike myself, the UK very seldom has such bad wind.
13 people have died so far, including a toddler when a wall came down.
As mentioned in my post yesterday, the house was fortunately undamaged; all the roof tiles still seem to be in place etc. However, because the Poms use wooden wall slats/ panels between the concrete pillars, the wind played havoc with these. I will need to replace 4 of mine. Some of the other home owners in our street have a lot more to replace...
Why they don't just use complete concrete walls, as we do in SA, between properties here?!
Fair enough, they look quite nice, but one has to 'treat' the wood now and again with an anti-weathering/water-proofing stain/varnish, and replace some of them after such freak weather. They're not too expensive, about £15 (approx R200) a panel, but I'd rather pay more for concrete walls and be done with it.
@ Francois,
Regarding mysonik, oops, my fading memory, I guess.

@ Kryptik,
Some of the damage across neighbours' and our yard/s.
Taken with the N73:
Using generous amounts of bricks to prevent the panels that need replacing from flying around:
