Living in South Africa reminds me of some awful reality show like the American "Keeping up with the Kardashians"
Who these people are I have absolutely no idea. I was at a friend's house and she happened to flick the TV onto the programme. I tried to listen to the whiney voice but could not bear it for more than a few seconds. I asked my friend to switch to another programme.
I don't want to keep up with them. I wouldn't want to sink so low. They remind of trailer trash.
They, like the Mandela family think that money makes up for class. They trade on their parent's name.
MONEY DOESN'T GIVE YOU CLASS. If you weren't born with it you can't cultivate it.

nokia phones
Nokia phones used to be fantastic.
In fact I have still got a Nokia 1610 lying around which still functions although the battery is dead and it only works when plugged into a power source. It doesn't do internet, take photos, mms, whatever. BUT it does work with minimal pain and suffering. I also have a 3200 which also works with minimal pain. The ringer speaker is dead.
My new phone, a C3, is 2 years old is dying. Soon it is going to either get a flying lesson with the aid of a baseball bat or possibly a coffin of resin and become a clock. Try and open a message and it says "Opening Message" for twenty minutes, then the screen blanks out and you press the middle key and nothing happens. Then you press the back key and nothing happens. Then you press the power button and it reverts to the main menu. How the f**** h*** are you supposed to retrieve a message?
I cannot believe that Nokia, which was one of the best manufacturers of cellphones could have made such a piece of crap. Now their new phones are owned by the other bane of my life - Microsoft. So it is goodbye to Nokia from me.
The only good thing about this C3 phone is that it has a relatively good radio in it. So it has been promoted to car radio. Only good thing for it.
It is being replaced with a Samsung Pocket, which hopefully will survive longer than 2 years. The Samsung pocket has worked quite well for the last two months, although the factory settings required to log on to everything that it could and it blew R100 in a day. SO its little extras got switched off. I will log onto the internet, GPS, whatever when I want to and not when it wants to. Thank you very much.
