PPC Cement have a new radio advert, in which a builder goes in to a store to buy 100 bags of cement but is only given 85.

UPDATE: I've written a new blog post on updating the P970 to Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich, and rooting. I recently got an LG Optimus P970 on a RedBull Mobile contract, and wanted to root it.

You can use some pre-defined color names, eg: {c_red}text{/c_red} (to type in red), but you can also enter aRGB values like so: {c:FFFF00FF}PINK!!! PINK!!! PINK!!! {/c} {c:FFFF8C00}DARK ORANGE!!!

NedBank just released a new advert, showing off how they're going to engage with their clients socially on the net. Not a bad idea, but the advert is such a load of far fetched crap I just have to wonder a few things (considering SOME of us that use the internet actually know a thing or two about it): Firstly, some l33t code they show us: Which, if I read it properly, is something like this:
