You did'nt go to a school in manchester did you mate ? i used to take my sharp to school with me,and a guy used to have a D8444,we used to have music battles n stuff just to get on the teachers nerves,one day we were outside at dinner time,and it started lashing it down with rain,i ran under cover with my box,but he and a few others stayed outside,his 8444 got soaked,the speakers got soaked,i remember him wrenching the speaker grill off,he left it off aswell,it ended up wrecked,but we were only kids back then,we all did crazy stuff back then..i actually knew another guy who had a GF9000 that he got for chritsmas,i was going out with his sister and saw it in his bedroom,it was mint brand new,he never ever took it outside,it just sat on a table next to his bed..one day he got his sisters boyfriend to spray it all different colours,he sprayed over the text aswell,i almost died when i saw it,it looked rubbish,totally ruined !!
