    He found it on searching for 'star gazing'. Why not have a look and see if there is one for your phone?


    My macputer is refusing me new apps till I put payment details in. :(. I'm loathe to do that (I only 'buy ' free apps so I don't know why it wants payment details) so I'm not buying anything new ATM.
    I'd be the same. Never trust the bugg4hs.

    This sounds not very trustable.

    I'd try to find another way to download them. Can you use another computer and copy them over somehow ? Or use any other online source, what with google being our friend.

    I dunno. My head is fried. If it doesn't work I tend to stop trying. :o

    The hottest I've ever been out in was 47 degrees in Arizona. It felt like walking in a hairdryer. Horrid. My Aussie cousin collapsed from heatstroke in the high 40s and managed to get to the nearest house and turn the hose on himself. That was in Melbourne when it was really hot a couple of years back. My QLD uncle on the other hand, wears a coat when it is below 25 as it is too cold.

    The highest temperature I've ever experienced was in Delhi, a few days before the (belated) monsoon arrived. It was 49 degrees, and 99% humidity. My best mate and I arrived in Delhi at 4am, aged 21, and the temperature at that time of night was 37 degrees, and it felt like walking into a sauna. The next day, when it was so humid and hot, we felt as if we couldn't even breathe - even lying completely still and wearing almost no clothes you felt far, far too hot.

    Hottest I've been is Furnace Creek, Death Valley, California 46 degrees.

    I suppose you can't say the name didn't give you a teeny hint! Was that dry heat, and did you need to drink buckets of water?

    These temperatures everyone's discussing sound awful - I'm wondering how I'd fare in Oz.

    The latitude I was born was north of Moscow and north of Alaska's capital Juneau (well not due North obviously). I consider myself cold-adapted and although I like mediterranean temperatures I'd only want them in short bursts.

    Actually is it possible to activate these accounts with cards about to expire?
