Carragher is a legend ya Bob. Fletcher is a good player and the rest you mentioned are bad players. Remember Ray Parlour? Franny Jeffers? LoooL

There you ladies and gents of London

LoL I think thats the way things will pan out. Maybe not absoltely 100% but banning qaad is only a good thing. I even have a way of achieving it. A long shot but pressure by UN/WFP on Kenya to use that fertile land for crops and not qaad could lead to a reducton at least. The reduced taxes will no longer be that much of an asset to the Her Majesty's Customs and Excise. ps dont worry I dont think you will ever be a criminal

^^Depends on the court's juresdiction surely Banning will make alot of Somalis criminals overnight but who cares? Families will see the results in the end. Kids will have their father's around and so will wives plus maybe an extra income. This will lead to better school results and with fathers at home more often young boys may just decide against joining the local gang.

LoL, where has everyone gone? Boring so and sos,, Originally posted by NGONGE: ^^ Notice how two thirds of those that replied to this thread are not here anymore. It's threads like these that make me think I overstayed my welcome. ps Thanks Cadaan. Your new name is much better than the one you came in with. Pps I know only of one Nomad that changed (quite a bit too if I may add). He used to saunter around London and is now in Dubai getting excited at the tiniest drops of rain. I don't really mind about his excitement, if only he wouldn't send me happy text messages about it when I'm standing at a shelter-less bus stop and it is pouring down with rain. Me changed? Even on my response I wrote London would be temporary. ps I had to wear a jumper to work today and it was a cold 17 degrees C. My toes are numb! pps those get togethers at Shaqsi's

^^So banning khaat would put Somalis on alcohol? There may an initial response of some Somalis seeking other ways of 'recreational activity' but in the long run a ban would be a good thing. The question should be, as I inclined at the start of this topic, how to get the thing banned rather than just asking for one considering previous attempts have failed.

MMA, Ngonge works just down the road from there. If we can get him to go down there and sing I'm sure the whole block wouldnt sleep let alone Yeey. ps sheep lalama hadlo. You just hope the shephard uses his dogs better

Back home = Africa (same can't be said for some ) If you guys know anyone from Somalia/Somaliland with a civil eng degree let me know (if they are interested of course).

Qualified Civil Engineers for a major contractor in the UAE required. If you have friends and family members back home who have a good grasp of the English language (both written and oral) and would like to work in Dubai do let me know.

I remember Edna showed us her SL 'diplo' passport on her visit to these shores a few years ago. The thing was stamped out! Let me try and use mine next time bal.

I dont care who wins so long they are black! Where is the official website?

^^I think you're right. Off the top of my head Everton was the last team outside of what is now the big 4 to have won it in 1995. I could be wrong though.

Kapang! Bishop warns of 'Islamic areas' Dr Nazir-Ali criticised the 'multi-faith' agenda A Church of England bishop has said Islamic extremism has turned some communities into no-go areas for people of a different faith or race. The Bishop of Rochester, the Right Reverend Dr Michael Nazir-Ali, writing in the Sunday Telegraph, criticised government multicultural policies. He said those of a different faith or race may find it difficult to live or work in some areas due to "hostility". The Muslim Council of Britain accused the bishop of scaremongering. 'Christian cause' Dr Nazir-Ali said there had been a worldwide resurgence of Islamic extremism, leading to young people growing up alienated from the country they live in. Not only locally, but at the national level also the establishment of the Church of England is being eroded Dr Michael Nazir-Ali Bishop of Rochester It had also turned "already separate communities into 'no-go' areas". He said there had been attempts to "impose an 'Islamic' character on certain areas", for example, by amplifying the call to prayer from mosques. Apart from issues about noise levels, Dr Nazir-Ali said it also raised questions about "whether non-Muslims wish to be told the creed of a particular faith five times a day on the loudspeaker". The Muslim Council of Britain said the mosque call was no different from church bells ringing. Dr Nazir-Ali warned of a multi-faith "mish mash" as the government promotes its integration policy - "an agenda which still lacks the underpinning of a moral and spiritual vision." He said the role of chaplains in such places as hospitals, prisons and educational establishments was in jeopardy "either because of financial cuts or because the authorities want 'multi-faith' provision, without regard to the distinctively Christian character of the nation's laws, values, customs and culture". If there is no evidence he can put forward then it boils down to simple scaremongering Ibrahim Mogra Muslim Council of Britain "Not only locally, but at the national level also the establishment of the Church of England is being eroded," Dr Nazir-Ali said. He added: "If it had not been for the black majority churches and the recent arrival of people from central and eastern Europe, the Christian cause in many of our cities would have looked a lost one." 'Simple scaremongering' Ibrahim Mogra, of the Muslim Council of Britain's inter-faith relations committee, described the bishop's comments as "alarming". He said: "If there is no evidence he can put forward then it boils down to simple scaremongering. "It is very worrying if parts of our country become no-go areas for anybody, and it is not acceptable. "To suggest that a handful of people are beginning to create such areas where nobody else can go unless they are Muslim needs evidence to back such claims." Akbar Ali, a Muslim community leader in Liverpool, said Dr Nazir-Ali was not being helpful. He told BBC News: "This is something new I'm hearing. I'm sure when the Bishop of Rochester says something he has done his initial research to make such a pronouncement. "But I would have thought that giving publicity to such radical views really makes the situation worse rather than better." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7173599.stm

^^Could have told you it was going to be a rubbish game. FA Cup not the same anymore. One of the big four will win as usual.

Somali gunmen briefly kidnap Libyan diplomats By Abdi Sheikh and Aweys Yusuf MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Somali gunmen seized the acting Libyan ambassador and a colleague while they shopped in Mogadishu's busy Bakara market on Saturday but freed them hours later, embassy staff said. The brief kidnapping coincided with the swearing in of 15 new ministers and five deputies by parliament as part of a new cabinet designed to help the interim government build solid institutions before elections due in late 2009. Kidnapping was already common in Somalia before a year-long insurgency pitting an Islamic Courts group against the government and its Ethiopian military backers broke out, triggering fighting that has killed at least 6,500 people. Ten men armed with pistols grabbed acting Ambassador Naji Ahmed Subeyr and his chief of staff Fatahi Mohamed Mustafa as they shopped in the market, according to embassy officials. "We were captured and then released by Islamic Courts youth," Subeyr told Reuters at his embassy in Mogadishu. "They freed us after we told them we were Libyans ... They treated us well, and handed us to Bakara businessmen to take us home safely." Bakara, the seaside Somali capital's biggest market, is a hotbed of insurgents fighting the Somali interim government and its Ethiopian military backers. Continued... Indeed

I'll leave you alone now

Caano Geel, get rid of the warlords, Ethios and bring me a 'viable' option then I may just sing in my tone def voice . In the meantime, it is pointless talking about Somaliland when Somalia has the before-mentioned ills running shop. GJ, No reunification with ICU but a lot of support in terms of what they stood for (no warlords, an Islamic perpective on governance and law). who said Awdal is hijacked and been held against it's will? This is often regurgitated in this forum and the only real reason I can think of is simply because they don't belong to the majority clan in Burco and Hargeysa. Remember SL was a one clan entity? Today reer Awdal are being held prisoner
