^^Remeber what you all said in 2005?

Jimcaalow, this 'would' have been news if they (Al Shabab) actually distinguished between the two in the first place. We know you have no love for them but its getting a bit tedious now.

Well done to Man Utd. They played well. Barca just came to pass it about and look good.

Originally posted by Abtigiis & Tolka: Northern A bit of the heart over the head, i think. But would have relished that result! Man Utd can't handle Barca's style of play. A bold prediction but wair and see.

The problem we face is our client is a semi-govnt entity in an Arab country. You have to do alot more than usual to ensure people are paid on time, contracts are signed off, cost reports are signed off etc.

Kash, good stuff.

Waa khayre iska waran saxib. Shaqadaa igu badatay saxib. 2 weeks to do alot of work and make sure no one calls me on my holidays.

How are the trolls?

A 3 year jail term awaits him

3-1 to Barca!

LG, all we have are different versions of the same incident. The truth is out there. Allah yarxamhum to the deceased.

I'm still none the wiser. Could someone enlighten me on Jimcaale's peculiar sense of humour?

^^So its one's word against another's.

If a gang invades your house tonight (with the intent to kill) are you going to pour them a cup of coffee? "Do you want a cuppa mate"?

^^Do you have any proof of what really happened?

Soo carab maan noqon

^^Interesting thought. As for the bridge, I just don't see it happening anytime soon.

I use 'as per' quite often.

^^Like what?

They see opportunities and go for it. Countries with little in the way of laws protecting their economy etc whilst they have laws forbidding foreign firms buying their telecoms, electricty and water companies. Its all about the greenback. Being brothers has nothing to do with it.

LoL 'As usual' and 'as per usual' mean the same thing and both make sense. You just havnt heard the latter being used.

I would have to agree with you on that. They seem to want to buy everything in site.

^^I take it you have never come across 'as per usual' before. Somalia: Denouncing Civilian Deaths, UN Rights Expert Urges Ceasefire PRESS RELEASE 23 April 2008 Posted to the web 23 April 2008 An independent United Nations human rights expert has condemned the killing of civilians in Somalia, including a number of religious leaders, and called for an immediate end to the violence that has flared up in recent weeks in the Horn of Africa nation. The country has witnessed renewed violence between the troops of the Transitional Federal Government (TFG), backed by the Ethiopian Army, and the anti-government insurgent forces. "The use of heavy weaponry into areas where civilians are concentrated left reportedly 81 civilians dead and more than 100 wounded," Ghanim Alnajjar, the Independent Expert on the situation of human rights in Somalia, said in a statement issued today in Geneva. Mr. Alnajjar condemned in particular the alleged deliberate killing of numerous clerics belonging to "Altabligh Group" at the Alhidaya Compound/Mosque. "The killings have to be investigated expeditiously and impartially, and any lasting peace in Somalia must be based on justice, truth and accountability," he stated. The Independent Expert appealed for calm and an immediate ceasefire, and urged the TFG and the international community to protect civilians in Somalia, which has not had a functioning national government since 1991. On Monday Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon voiced deep concern over this weekend's heavy fighting in Mogadishu, Somalia's capital, and deplored the substantial number of civilian casualties and injuries resulting from the violence. In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Mr. Ban urged parties to the conflict "to refrain from the indiscriminate and disproportionate use of force that endangers the lives of civilians, particularly in heavily populated civilian areas, and reminds them that any targeting of non-combatants is a violation of international law." Rising insecurity is among the reasons that the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) believes the humanitarian situation in the strife-torn nation is deteriorating faster than expected. An estimated 1.8 million people in Somalia require humanitarian assistance and that figure could increase to 2 million once current assessments are concluded, according to OCHA. http://allafrica.com/stories/200804230786.html

All that for $22b?? I don't think so. What happens when you get to the other end? Do you have sit in a dusty hut in Yemen and wait for a bus to take you onto Suadiya or UAE? For this to work a train network for the whole gulf is needed.
