~ Landing In London ~ 3 Doors Down

Songs don't make me cry, strictly speaking. But there are those that just give my mood a 'depressing' turn. Some of them are just plain mushy, others are, sobering.

In addition to the above,

Green Day >> 21 Guns

3 Doors Down >> Away From the Sun

3 Doors Down >> It's the Only One You've Got

My Chemical Romance >> Welcome to the Black Parade


Keane >> The Frog Prince



Blue October >> Hate Me

First off, i live alone, make my own meals occasionally and all. So, why exactly do they make these seasoning cubes so hard to grind with the fingers? Is there some high tech innovation for breaking 'em that i don't know abou t? Cos i almost get blisters every time i make a meal, thanks to rock hard Knorr cubes. In fact, i'm strongly considering getting a hammer and chisel solely for cooking purposes.
So i'd like an explanation and a less painful way of making good food. Thank you.

Ever since the so-called "arab spring", every[b] Joystick[/b], tom and harry is looking for yeye publicity

Hehehehehehe

I love this guy, in exactly the same way i loved Sam Loco.

Hi y'all, i find it diffcult, near impossible even, to make skillful moves like step-overs and such in this particular game. When they do happen, it's definitely by chance. Anyone know the buttons for the feints and the kind? PC version, by the way.

I agree that her grammatical blunders are embarrassing at least, but i prefer to appreciate the humour in their structure and composition, you know, like witty one-liners . Rather remniscient of some popular american figures like Yogi Berra(if you don't know where you're going, you might end up someplace else), Dan Quayle(if we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure. The future will be better tomorrow ), and even Bush(They misunderestimated me).

This approach doesn't make her English acceptable or anything, it just makes it bearable. And all those trying to rationally explain this last slip are only making me laugh the more.

I wonder how feasible the idea of placing a deadline on sim registration and blocking of unregistered Sim cards really is, considering that sim cards will still be bought AFTER the close of registration, and they, of course, would not have been pre-registered. What would happen to those? I figure there will always be registration outlets as long as there are sim card sales. This line of thought makes a lot of sense to me, but i could be ignorant of certain technical issues and consequently, wrong . I hope i'm right though; I ain't registered mine.

@ bolded 2go, badt guy,

Hehe. Which primary school you go sef? You sabi book o!! hehe

Women?? [snorts]. The way i see things, a good car is it's own reward.

@ Moderator: I noticed the topic somehow got itself duplicated on the original Cullture page, could you please have one of 'em deleted?

I imagine most people are familiar with Washington Irving's fictional character Don Quixote who falls into a magical sleep that lasts the better part of two decades. Of course so many things had changed by the time he woke up. So i was just wondering what it would be like for a Nigerian who encounters the same experience, let's say he went to bed twenty years ago . You could present your views regarding what you imagine his impression of Nigeria as a whole would be or you could use your local area as a more specific angle. Please share your opinions,

Who wil finance d wedding?

Same thing i'm wondering. Proposing is a lot more than asking for marriage, it is a declaration of devotion and an affirmation of capability. So if a girl proposes, guy says yes, what next? He calls his banker and asks for his financial statement or she begins to raise funds? Just my thoughts anyway.

I attended a boarding school where at one time or the other I had to pass the night in classrooms, benches in the refectory, cold, dark and damp laundries, the roof of the junior dorm, and most remarkably, goat pens in the staff quarters. All to get away from sadistic senior students. I had a mattress, but one senior found better use for it in adding to the heap of about four mattresses on which he slept, so I had to make do with the back of overturned cupboards, bare bunks, and on occasion abandoned bed sheets so filthy you'd think ‘twas the devil's own doormat. We literally lived like criminals on the run.

Will I send my kids to a boarding school? Yes.

Although it'll seem (or actually be) hellish while they're at it, they'll miss every second when they're out. Plus they'll acquire basic survival skills, Navy SEAL standard, if they're lucky enough to attend the kind I did.

Was so happy when Inter took them out last two seasons that I held some people to ransom with green and black bottles.

I think it's fair to say i felt a greater measure of elation that day than when Man U, my fav team, won the champions league in 2008. It's that bad.

Okay, no one's asking them to "let the other side play", that would only be say, euthanasia. But they don't have to be so darn arrogant and dare i say sadistic in their style of play. And like they ain't good enoygh by themselves, UEFA's gotten in the habit of awarding them dubiousadvantages.

I think Barcelona's a fraudulent, play-acting, and annoyingly lucky team. But that's as a Man U fan.

Rational analysis however tells me that those guys are the best team in the world, as things stand. Lawd! They get everything as close to perfection as it could ever get; their passes are sublime, positioning incisive, and they can pelt goakers with canon-class shots from long range whether in desperation or sheer sadism. And Messi, well, i;m not talking about him. I'm hungry. Just thinking about that guy gives me ulcers.

So, although i'll readily admit their brilliance, i'd rather watch two mediocre sides slug it out on a muddy pitch. It's called bitter envy, i think.

@Ice_zik.: Thanks a bunch, Iive i've actually considered the android phones and i reckon the Galaxy Ace is a worthwhile purchase at that rate. I think i'll just give up the BB thing and go for the an Android phone. Sony Ericsson's Xperia Neo did catch my fancy too, but i'm not sure if it falls within the catch of my wallet. Any idea how much it costs?

I beg your pardon.

Thanks y'all who bothered to present reasonable suggestions. @Lord Reed: What do you reckon is the least amount one with those specs would go for?

So this is an issue for the i-d-i-o-ts to put it on the front page.
No wonder Nigeria records mass failures in schools and job interviews.

ATLgal's response airs a very polite version of my thoughts. Civility (and censorship) restrains me from adding the liberal dose of invective you totally deserve.

MTN-3G. Abuja Hostel, University of Jos. Rooftop. 150-333kbps. 9pm to 4am ONLY. Other times? Simply Dismal.  

I dont think Nigeria have 3.5G or 4G, we are just a user

And 3G. I forgot that. Important too. Thanks.

Hello, I was wondering if one might find a brand new BB that features a 5megapixel camera (or higher) and wi-fi within the proce range of 30-35 thousand naira? If there's one of such, what's the model, and if there isn't, how much would such a BB go for?

^^In your center back pocket.
hehehe

if it ain't about how beautiful Vanessa is, it's about how susan won't love some guy back

That's true alright, but one gets a bit uncertain when you consider the ubiquitous church choruses along with other songs officially produced that all revolve around Jesus. Think i should get some real statistics.

It's really mystifying, but i can state from repeated experience that merely having a phone within a 10-inch radius of yours truly would somehow set the battery power diminishing at a terrifying rate! I just can't say how i do it.

Hi guys, I've heard people state that Jesus has featured as the theme or topic of songs more than anyone ever. I've read this in a couple of seemingly authoritative publications myself. The thought just occurred to me that if any other human or class of humans would rival that record, it would be womenfolk. There are songs and other such lyrical compositions about girls (women generally) in such great numbers that you think, these creatures have gotta be mighty popular!
So I'd like y'all to throw in your thoughts on the matter, any valid statistic would be nice, but i think it'd be a lot more fun if you'd just address the issue as it pops in your mind . Bring 'em in people.
