    claire, it's a copy of a N97 mini, there's no Nokia branding, the phone is different from the real one (it has a pull-out aerial and there's writing not on the Nokia and the menu system is wrong) and I happen to have the real one to compare it to. And they're using the Nokia name to make money.

    Not a good day today, well for me it was, Mum however had to deal with a dead body in work. Which you would think is perfectly fine if she works in the care profession, but she works in on of the 'big' supermarkets :( She is ok though bless her, I keep asking though :o Otherwise a normal working Sunday Yawn_by_nyssi.gif

  • blimey pap............what an awful experience for your mum. Was it someone taken ill whilst shopping?

    No it was someone she had dealt with before. On Friday he was in the loo for 4 hours drinking alcohol etc etc. He was taken by the police (he wouldnt go alone) after a paramedic said there was nothing wrong with him. However Saturday he reappeared drinking on the benches outside. So another first aider (who also dealt with him today so is in shock, hes only young) told him to move on and he cant stay here etc etc. Well he was out there a good 20min chatting to him and it had been his birthday on Frinday and he was 65 and lived close to the store etc.

    But today Mum was personally called to deal with a first aid incident. It was this man in bushes collapsed by the side of the store. Mum said he looked dead before she even got to him. The police say he must have got drunk, passed out and then died overnight (poss from the cold). However they had to call invesigators in just incase of any other causes. The body was only removed at 4.15pm :eek:

    So sad :(

    Beanie, I think she is ok. She is like me very matter of fact. I guess because she has no 'connection' with him its easier. Plus she has had a fair few family deaths in her years. I am still checking on her though ;)
