There's something called DFU mode which the Cactuslab guys told me about to help with my iOS4-crippled phone. I tried the Spotlight thing and it worked for an hour or so before getting back to it's old tricks.

It was a great show, just a pity you can't put some f*cking integrity on your snapper card. If I want to hear sponsor names mentioned every 20 seconds I'll watch the IPL.
Sorry about that, it was a joke from the start. They were one of the major sponsors and had asked us to say lines that were five times as cheesy as what we ended up saying. So instead we made a joke out of it.
Auckland bloke was good on providing some insight into what was going on
He's the best MC in the country, I learn at his feet

Look out Auckland! Wanna show Wellington how it's done? The Pirate City Rollers are having their first bout in The City!
Step aside kickboxing! The YMCA Pitt Street has a new big hitting, crowd pulling sport under its belt, and 21 August bout is going to be a show that you cannot miss!
With a keen mixture of hard-hitting sporty ladies, fun-filled half-time entertainment and cheap-as-chips food and drink, roller derby is fun for all the family. Still not convinced? Entry into this amazing bout will also garner you discounted entry to the massive afterparty at K’Road’s Whammy Bar; just follow the giant drum procession from YMCA’s doors!

I was "transferred to the NZ iTunes store", where I was supposed to be anyway, but the app I was trying to get wasn't there.
Oh you kids, back in my day there wasn't even an NZ iTunes store on the iPad. I had to set up an American account (anyone asks I'm staying at the Mercure by Brooklyn Bridge) and do work-arounds.l

I'll be writing up my review later today, but yeah BIG night.
Edward, I'm glad you decided to take your daughter and I'm happy she had a good time. There seemed to be quite a few kids of about 5-10, and in the states some of the leagues have junior teams, where kids play low contact derby. I also sent her blog link to the Richter City girls so she might get some comments from them.

Most of the American leagues have boring unis with tattoos, make up and body paint there to make sure you can pick out individuals (because the numbers are too hard to see). Focussing on it as a main point of the sport is as silly as writing whole posts on uniforms.

Is no one going to mention underarm bowling then?
Barry Bonds was slowed considerably when going for his (TAINTEDBYCHEATING) home run record, by pitchers simply not pitching to him. Other great hitters, like Albert (it's pronounced poo-holes) Pujols, find the same thing. A walk isn't as bad as a HR against you.
But the truly great sportsmen fight you all the way. There was one pitcher (who I think was from the Cardinals) who never tried to walk Bonds and always challenged him to hit the ball. If they are the champ then make them play like it.

So is Paula Radcliffe taking a pit stop in the middle of two different marathons.
EDIT: this was regarding urination during sports on TV. It seemed a little out of context up here.

"Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and f**k the prom queen!"
That was the quote I was trying to remember when I wrote this.

But, you know: it's YOUR blood. What's the rationale behind stopping people doing this?
Good taste?Agreed, gross.
Also this: the tour is, technically only I suppose, a test of your endurance and ability over the days as you try and cycle about France faster than the other guys. If you inject yourself with blood that's fresher and packed full of oxygen and energy (stuff your blood might not have after all that pedalling) then it's not really you on the tour. It's you plus you a few weeks beforehand when you weren't so tired.
