A little respect for a sister is in order here.

Sheh, not surprised ps Real Tasmanian Devil

Ngonge is 6ft (at least) and built like a **** **** house.

Still here. Ngonge, see the Angola vs Mali game last night?

A whole day's work gone! Bloody external hard drives :mad: :mad: I'm off.

Ibti, Burcaawis have never been know for their displomacy. Leave the Budh at home sometimes

Is it normal to be thinking about taking another holiday only a few days having come back from one?

Ngonge, agreed. I was referring to the media 'experts' who have all of sudden popped up on our screens and papers. LG waxeedu waa walaaq uun

Malika, what are you saying? CL was a waiteress? I have been meaning to get up and get myself a cuppa for the past hour

Still no chai walla. Afternoon all.

^Ninku uma shaqeeyo dowlada or walaakii. Says alot.

Funny how these articles come out of nowhere when someone nearly blows up a plane! Everyone becomes an expert on Yemen overnight.

Not for all the back and forth or the "scientific" balderdash it contains but for its elegant demonstration that without our egos, we could never take a severe and unambiguous licking yet keep coming back for more. LOL. Originally posted by Raamsade: [QB] ^Exactly! Muslim creationists have been given a resounding trashing in this thread. And yet they keep coming back for more which leads me to believe that there is more at play than mere ego.[QB]

^Did you see the AJE interview with the Shiekh's lawyers? It was quite funny. AJE: What sort of drugs result in one shoving sand down another person's mouth, shouting around him with an AK47, running over him with a 4x4 several times and hitting him with a plank of wood with a nail protuding through it? Lawyer: Erm, erm the video was not accurate and was also illegal as it was not approved for public viewing (something along those lines).

I see a nomad's mobile phone number

2+2=5, I'm 6ft 5in and reached over with my left leg and I used my pinky toe It was actually done by Mrs Norfky :cool: I'll take the plaudits though,,,,

Monkeys cross the road

Sheikh Issa found not guilty Marten Youssef Last Updated: January 10. 2010 3:58PM UAE / January 10. 2010 11:58AM GMT Sheikh Issa bin Zayed al Nahyan was acquitted today of abusing an Afghani grain merchant on grounds of diminished responsibility. He was one of seven defendants who faced charges in a 2004 incident that took place on an Al Ain farm and was captured on video. Five of the other six defendants were found guilty, and a security guard was also cleared. Sheikh Issa, 40, who is a son of Sheikh Zayed, holds no official government position. Bassam and Ghassan Nabulsi, former business partners of the Sheikh, who filmed and kept the video tape were sentenced in absentia to five years each in prison. A portion of the video was broadcast on an American television station. Sheikh Issa was charged with rape, endangering a life and causing bodily harm. Sheikh Issa’s attorney previously argued that his client was on dozens of medications and that he was also drugged by the Nabulsi brothers. He told the court the Nabulsi brothers orchestrated the incident and filmed it to use as black mail. A forensic medicine expert told the court in the previous hearing the medication Sheikh Issa was on “can cause anger, suicide, violence, depression and loss of memory”. http://www.thenational.ae/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100110/NATIONAL/100119987/1133

Advise him to concentrate on school and getting his grades in a more practical way. Don't just talk about it but SHOW how he would benefit. This might involve getting him involved in work experience in the summer and throughout his holidays. Keep him busy. Can he work at any local stores/supermarkets? What is looking to be? A banker? A doctor? Look around and encourage him to take it and he will probably get paid as well. Once he sees the bigger picture he will KNOW just how important school/college/uni is and work hard to finish with a vision of work and getting paid in his mind. Show him the BIG PICTURE because all he sees now is his friends rebelling and dropping out of school telling him it's cool. Give him some space as well. You don't need to be on his case all the time. See if he takes your advice and if he does then let him grow and learn from his mistakes. Life isn't easy.

Any sign of Nuune aka Duulaaye???

Brrrrrrrrrr! Ilkahaaba i qhadqhadey

^He would bore me with his take on Somalis He needs to stay in a Somali hotel. Dhaqan celis ayuu u yara baahanyahay afkana ha ku bartu.

Really sad. Allah yarxamhum
