^^your right there is a bigger rivalry between Lpool and Man Utd. But since Man Utd have 8 league titles in 11 years, 3 FA Cups ( ithink) and the CL I have respect for their footballing capabilities. You sound just like the average Arsenal supporter, not knowing much about footy. You are very one dimensional and cant play a physical game. plus i prefer Man Utd to Arsenal, it a northern thing, you wouldnt understand, it works both ways. Bolton beat Spurs, Lpool beat Charlton, Only Portsmouth beat Boro (which is what i wanted neway)! The game was won in midfield, scholes/Kean/giggs/Ronaldo vs Viera/Flamini/Pirez/Lunberg. One set of midfielders won the CL, the other has never been past the 1/4 final stage! Dont hate me for giving it to you how it is, even if i'm a scouser. One dimensional teams dont win titles back to back. oh yeah, did u see how Man Utd kept the ball for 30 mins with 10 men?

I've been looking into this for over a year now, some of my muslim freinds have already bought properties and currently renting it out to students. The property game is very enticing, i have managed to focus my efforts on finding the right deal, still looking.

Racism is in every where in Europe. Black People need to realise this and move on. True, but what happened in Spain was appalling. The FA themselves are the biggest racist of all times. What happened to that ''the Great English players of all time DVD'' that did not feature one black player. Was that not racism. Cmon now, was Barnes not good enough. So was a great black player for England? I can only think of John Barnes scoring that goal against brazil, but he wasnt a regular in the team anyway. BOB: where I come from by the way it is Kismayo (the Brazilian of Somalia) lol,

^^yeah very cockey. arsenal fans will finally understand how their team is bunch of 'big game' flops, yet again they buckled under pressure. Watching the game, even when Man Utd fell behind twice, i knew they would come back because of the players they have, Rooney, Ronaldo, scholes, giggs, keane, hienze while arsenal had to rely on Lunberg, Pirez, Henry, Bergkamp, Viera, cole to do something against 10 men. Arsenal are one dimensional, they dont have a plan B! The Man Utd midfield won the 1999 CL, coming from 2 goals down at the Stadio Del Alpi in the semi final second leg against the mighty Juve. Now that is the standard Man Utd are setting. On this form i fancy them against AC Milan. If your wondering why i'm biggin this team up, even though i hate to admit it, but they have been the best team for a long time.

Fernando Morientes scores a blistering left-foot drive to level things before John Arne Riise seals a vital away win. Mor Mor Mor, how do you like it? Yes, while all the attention was on Highbury, my attention was on this fixture.

Diamante You can do an apprentship and get a degree. It takes 5 years instead of 3 or 4 for a sandwich course. But u will not be in as much debt. The experience u need for what ever job your going for can be obtaining during apprenticeship. I feel this is one avenue future students should consider. There is no difference between going to uni the traditional route or through apprenticeship on aprt time basis while working at the same time. Actually there is more dicipline for one who does an apprenticeship ie getting up early every morning etc etc and puts you in good stead for the future. Sandwich courses are also good options

^^lol I forgive Djimi, he has played very well this season. But Benitez needs to know that the FA Cup is not the Carling cup :mad: no big names, two sendings off :mad: anyway,,,,,,man i need some of that Africa in me,,,,,,,, dreams of playing footy on a beach in Zanzibar

^^^u need to worry about Man Utd on Feb 1st, forget about chelsea,,,, 1st Chelski 2nd Man Utd 3rd Arsenal 4th Liverpool

My sense of style is far superior to you and NGONGE's thats probably why i havent had the pleasure of being told what not to wear yet The site is in Edmonton, just off the north circular, i'm not going out there unless i have to,,,,,,,

Same here saxib, the eldest one is over there right now. Next year insha allah

As i awoke this morning and saw my old school featured on BBC news, it made me think, is all this work worth it when u can start work at 16 or 18, work your way up and still be in a better position than the company's latest graduates who are most probably in debt, have a worse liver than you (excessive drinking during too many nights out, gaalada), probably know less (putting theory into practice are wholly different), etc etc. So i ask the question, are potential Somali students who will most probably get out loans and end up in debt, better off through apprentice schemes in the long run? I know the apprentice schemes in construction are great and think to myself why dont our kids try it out? They learn on the job, have 1 day a week collage/uni and get paid with a degree/diploma at the end of it. It may take 5 years instead of 3 but the chance of being in debt are reduced some what. But then again our parents would probably not understand why we are not doing a course full time and get it finished in 3 years so they can put that picture up in the sitting room. Report: Teenagers from well-off backgrounds are six times more likely to go to university than those from the most deprived areas, a report says. The Higher Education Funding Council for England said more people went to university between 1994 and 2000. But the percentage of poorer students "hardly changed at all", said its chief executive, Sir Howard Newby. Increasingly more women than men went to university, while tuition fees and student loans made no major difference. Disadvantaged Instead poor students were more likely to be worried about living costs, Sir Howard said. The Hefce report, drawing on previously-unused child benefits data, said teenagers in the richest areas could expect a better than 50% chance of going to university, while in the poorest neighbourhoods it was 10%. Participation at constituency level ranged from 69% in Kensington and Chelsea, 65% in the City of London and Westminster and 62% in Sheffield Hallam, down to 10% in Bristol South and Leeds Central and 8% in Nottingham North and Sheffield Brightside. Click here to see them all Sir Howard said the report highlighted the "entrenched divisions" between rich and poor areas, but added it was a social as much as an educational problem. He told BBC News: "We know, once children from deprived backgrounds get into university, they do very well. In fact surprisingly more go into postgraduate study than those from more affluent backgrounds. "The issue is, I think, one of raising aspirations amongst those families and those communities that university is something for them and not for other people." Completion He said by the time universities traditionally dealt with pupils, between the ages of 16 and 18, it was too late. Instead they should be reaching out to communities and schools much earlier, even down to primary school level, to persuade them a university education was something they could aspire to, he said. But while the report revealed stark inequalities and exposed the extent of the challenge, there were some encouraging findings, he added. We are working in schools to raise the attainment and aspiration of young people in disadvantaged area Kim Howells Higher Education Minister Tuition fees and student loans in England and Wales - and the different fee regime in Scotland - did not seem to have affected the choices of young people, even the poorest. The report also showed women were 18% more likely than men to enter higher education in 2000 - up from 6% in 1994. In the poorest areas, the gap was 30% in women's favour and growing faster than anywhere else. The Higher Education Minister, Kim Howells, said this was "a valuable report". "We are working in schools to raise the attainment and aspiration of young people in disadvantaged areas," he said. Higher standards in schools would lead to greater participation in higher education. From 2006 upfront tuition fees in England would be removed, with grants for the less well off. The shadow education secretary, Tim Collins, said: "It is clear from this report that children from disadvantaged areas are far more likely to have encountered poor standards in their secondary education. "Tackling these must be the top priority for any government looking to improve university access." The university access regulator - head of Offa, Sir Martin Harris - said: "Poorer students will soon be better off than they have been for many years and we have seen, in light of the planned introduction of variable tuition fees in 2006-07, that institutions are showing they are strongly committed to widening access through bursary and other financial support." Colleges The report showed that the month of the year in which children were born also appeared important. In England, someone born in September was 20% more likely to enter higher education 18 years later than a child born in August. Although disadvantaged constituencies in Scotland had low participation rates, they were nearly twice the level in similar areas in England. The report suggests this reflected the greater importance in Scotland of HND and HNC qualifications and of higher education courses in further education (FE) institutions. And the Association of Colleges, representing the FE sector, said its members held the answer - by delivering less advantaged learners to universities.

Raage, u need to get out mate! BOB, east africa is your fort-e. I'm still waiting on NGONGE. It will somthing like this. Saudi, Kuwait, UAE, (all arab countries)

The first year is the hardest. After that, you get used to it and never complain about being dressed in pink jeans and loud green shirts. Commiserations, saaxib (on the Birthday)! looooool, no items of clothing saxib, i dress myself, i havnt got to your stage yet where i'm told what to wear and what not to say on every jaunt across town to visit fam and freinds. I hope they are not all like that We just had breifing from a bomb disposal expert on what to do if we find any bombs on this construction site i'm on at the moment. German bombs were thrown down, British bombs were thrown up to counter it and to top it off the site is a former munitions dump. Now thats what i'm more concerned about. :confused:

I wasnt talkin about looks, more focusing on maturity

Men are like wine. Some turn to vinegar, but the best improve with age. C.E.M. Joad lol at Orgi Jacaylbaro, my fishing net was confiscated for the life time last July

Militias from the Islamic courts set up in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, are destroying a colonial Italian cemetery. They say that Islam does not allow tombs and are digging up the graves and discarding the human remains. The BBC's Mohammed Olad Hassan in Mogadishu says that children have been seen playing with human bones. Somalia has not had a functioning national government since 1991 and rival militias have divided it into a patchwork of rival fiefdoms. Local radio reports say that there are thousands of graves at the cemetery, of which some 700 have been destroyed. The Islamic courts were set up by businessmen in Mogadishu to bring some semblance of law and order to a city without a police force. A new Somali government has been named in neighbouring Kenya and it is due to start relocating to Mogadishu on 1 February. During the 14 years of anarchy, much of the city has been destroyed by looters, who recycle and sell anything they can find - even the metal rods used to reinforce concrete. The looters mostly work for one of the warlords who takes a cut of their profit. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/default.stm :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

^^^lol,it has taken you the best part of an hour to work it out, Hasna still hasnt, its all good, i'm still a spring chicken,,,,,,,,, puts on his slippers

I am 9490 days old under the gragorian calender and 9776 days old under the Islamic calendar.

Good article, the short comings of this particular government is only too obvious to see. A change of government must happen for the sake of sanity,peace and Somalis as a whole. I'm really hopeful Riyalle shall finally be defeated.

what difference is it if it was house or field? A field negro was a tough coockie who didnt take cr*p from his master and was therefore less favoured. The house negro was more favoured by the master and hence got the breaks/extras the master thought he deserved. Like sending his kids to school, looking after them when they were sick etc etc. Many house neros were also born in America, but of a lighter colour due to their moms being raped by the master. Seeing his own kids the master would keep them in the house and look after them. etc etc etc

^^thank you, older and wiser i would say, but not many would agree . Your signature can also be the quote of the day.

^^^Still hope i have the opportunity to meet the old chap. Todays quote 19/1/2005 (my birthday) :cool: "As i awoke with a roof over my head and food for the day, i realise that i am indeed one of the lucky ones" - Northerner Fitting i would say

Nationalist, yeah but performers are from Burco saxib! That 1st pic resembles many buildings in Hargaisa, such as Bilal hotel and Burco such as Titanic (not the real name) hotel where u have a forecourt from your bedroom (an expanded balcony type). Great designs none the less. What i would like are designs based around energy reduction/saving, using solar panels to generate electricity during the day and using regular generated energy at night. Having more natural sunlight (rooflights) to save energy during the day, using plasterboarded metal stud internal partition for walls rather than stone (construction price reduction, energy reduction, more aesthetically pleasing), these are just a few ways. Factory units is another un-touched industry. The construction of which will encourage more home made products. Imagine making Cereal in Bosaso :cool: , Bread in Hargaisa :cool: and Airoplanes and jet engines in Burco
