I'm sure this will be quite useful for many. But I left my light sabre in my other robe. Looks like I'll just have to use my chainsword instead...

O2 Vodafone, no less?

Surprised they didn;t change it for the Nu Zullind market to read TCNZ Vodafone.

LOL I kind of like the international twist they put on it. This person wants more information than I currently know about myself!

I think we're spoiling them though, giving them their own section! They should be given an external link into an abyss.

Good thing you didn't start this when you changed the layout... it could all be very confusing

[oxnsox]

And despite the new alliance with o2 and VF in the above scam... I'm kinda proud that NZ has now made it all the way up to continental status...
