Its night time here ps when you get a job, dont write 1.000.000.000,00. You will be shown the door pretty sharpish pps its 'cheque' in most parts of the world

It was obviouse from your initial post you wanted someone to raise the issue of how figures should be written hence why you wrote 1.000.000.000,00 instead of a simple $1 billion which is how it should be represented when in amongst written text. I raised it just to see your reaction I work with people in Thailand, Indonesia, USA, Sudan, Iraq and they all use the same system as i do. The majority use the system this system.

^^Nice pic. We will just have to wait and see then.

The guy is in hospital and people are protesting against him! That just about says it all!

Scousers

I cant see an oil tanker passing through that one :confused: Tallest bridge (look at the number of pillars required)

Great to see

^^Thats the thing saxib. I dont recall a bridge across a sea. Maybe a river, a bay, a lake etc but this is the sea. There is no other project to learn from. Throw in the hundres of ships who pass through everyday and stiff oposition from the said organisations. If the UAE will not want the money back then by all means go ahead with it. But i just dont see it happening.

^^The bulk of the costs would not be in Labour but rather engineering and commercial. How high does the bridge have to be? How wide the spans? Will the construction effect the ships? How long for? How will the foundations be done? Insurance? etc Very early stages but i just dont see it happening. Too must risk. Any risk managers in the house?

^^do you guys know somethingwe dont?

Jay, The youth players dont get paid that much. I think Abdisalam will begoing to school aswell until he is 16. Every club has a youth system. If they are good enough they will be promoted to the reservse (2nd team) then the full team. There are Somalis at many clubs at youth level. Its only a matter of time IA.

^^Thanks Soma! Analysis Rikaard showed his lack of tactical awareness last night. Ok he went for the win but was it good to take the risk of having 1 centre back? Rafa was great again. He gave a good taking to at HT and the boys responded. Sissoko was a giant and I hope he is ok for the second leg. The ref was a wuss! What a weak ref and the diving by Ronaldhino every time someone came close to him was just silly. Sissoko’s injury was due to him being fouled by Barca got the foul. Looking forward to that unique Anfield atmosphere in 2 weeks time. Nuune and Ngonge, what are your thoughts?

^^The question is what will you be doing for a month?

Originally posted by me: ^No not because its long, but because its a busy shipping lane. You cannot just construct a bridge on a busy shipping lane without there being an International consensus. Yemen or Djibouti alone cannot decide whether to build a bridge there. Thats why I am saying I would believe it if they said that they would build a tunnel. They have to ask for PERMISSION first. Plus what benefit will it have for Africa or the Middle East? Nada Nothing Nopes.The problems or Africa and M.E are corruption and mismanagement, they should deal with that first and stop wasting time on fantasy projects. Me, you are 110% right saxib. The project will not happen for the following reasons. Cost A 14 km bridge across the Red Sea does not cost a mere $1billion (that’s only 500billion sterling). Maybe for 3 times as much yes. Engineering A bridge that long in that location needs to be very high with huge spans (to let the ships through). With the depth of the sea to consider aswell, it is very unlikely it can achieve it’s purpose without compromising on certain factors. This will then inevitably have an impact on the passage of ships in that area. Shorter spans and lower bridge will make certain ships make a small ‘diversion’ around Africa. Commercial Maritime organizations, oil companies, the Suez Canal Company etc will all object to the project as it will have profound effects on the passage of ships and their businesses. Lets not forget these are international waters aswell so many organizations do have a say on things. A quick sprinkling of the greenback around Djbouti and Yemen would settle the issue if push came to shove. Economic A quick feasibility study would determine Djbouti and Yemen have absolutely nothing to offer each other apart from Qaad! MKA, $1,000,000,000 – that’s how the majority of the world would write $1 billion dollars. Yes there are other ways of writing it (so I’ve been told) but having worked in and studied finance I’m yet to come across it. Even here in the ME they use comas and not decimal points.

Begs the question who will pay for it? Is that 1 billion? or just 1 dollar?

^^Because you will probably turn it around at the Emirates (still cant get used to the name of your new stadium, it has an almost plasticy feel to it)

^^Afrikaan! I'll wait for the Chinese to come round,,,,, di vi di?

^^I dont get to read the tabloids anymore saxib (probably for the better) but hey i dont think it will impact on the game. I know you want us to lose cos you may meet us in the next round

No saxib. I dont want to get into trouble besides i dont know what your talking about. I dont trust you!

Yes. Is it wrong?

The players returned late by several 'minutes' and not hours saxib. The papers are making abig deal about it all. Bellamy is crazy i know but nothing else really happened otherwise we would have heard about fines for alot of players. Anyway, didnt see last nights games but by all accounts Arsenal played rubbish and Man Utd had a tough time in France. All eyes on the Camp Nou tonight and i shall be having an early night (7pm) and waking up at 11.45pm to make sure i can catch the game and not be too tired tomorrow IA. Oh yeah Chelsea are playing aswell

^^Why didnt you just sneak a digicam in?
