Spot the hay fever sufferer

Ah! Now I know why Piccadilly Circus tube station was closed. Lets hope it's a false alarm. ps JB & North are not here today. This leaves you as the only available troll on the site. Do your best to bring Val out.

How can u not be moved by this song dumar kale ma cashaqin hadal danbe kumaan oran .....man where you can find a brother like that , meel igu tilmaama wa salaamu alaikum This is what I call KITCHEN MUSIC. It's only heard in weddings and kitchens! I’d bet my life that half the people here, at least once, washed dishes while listening to similar music. Give me qaraami anytime.

Originally posted by Gordon Gekko: The Boy Who Cried Wolf (by Abdiqasim Salat) There once was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the village sheep. To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, "Yeey! Yeey! Yeey is chasing the sheep!" The villagers came running up the hill to help the boy drive Cabdullahi Yusuf away. But when they arrived at the top of the hill, they found no Yeey. The boy laughed at the sight of their angry faces. "Don't cry 'Yeey', shepherd boy," said the villagers, "when there's no Yeey!" They went grumbling back down the hill. Later, he saw a REAL Cabdullahi Yusuf prowling about his flock. Alarmed, he leaped to his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, "Yeey! Yeey!" But the villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they didn't come. At sunset, everyone wondered why the shepherd boy hadn't returned to the village with their sheep. They went up the hill to find the boy. They found him weeping: Wadankii waa la haystaa! More like: Wadankii Yeey-lam, Yeey-lam

^^ Not my kind of place really. Roma nooh..Milano, Paris..Moqadishu? Nooo..

^^ No. They switched roles. The temp posts here now. Don't tell me you have not noticed the improvement.

^^^ Can you imagine the conversation they had? Driver: Going anywhere nice tonight, sir? Passanger: Yeah. I'm going to pay a visit to some old friends. Driver: Hope you have a good time, sir. Passenger: I'm sure I will; I'm going to have a blast

Why would they reconcile? What are the economic benefits in doing so? I don't think the Ethiopians matter that much to this scenario. Even if there were no reconciliation and, instead, the TFG crushed all before it and made the whole country submit to its will (with Ethiopian help), the question about the later position of the Ethiopians will still remain the same. I'm afraid that on this issue (reconciliation) the Ethiopians are nothing but a red herring.

^^ It's a shame that all the geeks are ignoring you, dear. I would offer to help but the last time I dabbled with websites was 1993. I have a feeling that things have moved on since. I'll give them two hours to offer their services, if nobody comes forward I'm going to start naming names (not least he who teases big cats).

^^^ You're just trying to annoy ME again, right?

Or why not have just have one at home? ps Many mafrashs provide this service already. I may be tempted to don my long overcoat and sneak into one come July second.

Heh. You fat fingered ape you.

^^ You worried about her or the poor mosquitoes?

^^^YOu go for shisha in the middle of the day, it is not even 12.00pm yet! Godness me It's not a pint of beer, silly. There is no set time for it. I am a fan of that sweet apple simple.

No it's not. Cloudy but no rain. 26th June you say? Four more days and the smoking ban starts. Let me hurry out for one of my last ever shiisha visits. Back in two hours.

I hereby vouch for your laxoox maker but their tea leaves a lot to be desired. Val is already crying at the thought. Poor dentist.

I clicked on your link, i could swear you are white,.... I think I’m getting Bob's diseases. I'm having a good day today. It's a good song. Lovely words. What exactly is the problem here? Oh! Don't tell me..you're a byonce, lakiisha..tamiisha..aaiishaa..darisha fan? How utterly dull! North, Stay out of it. These girls have to explain themselves.

Everyday, I discover that all the theories and surveys proving that women can multitask are nothing but a load of hogwash. Have you people noticed that only the girls on this site are the ones complaining about work? It's a worrying trend I tell ya.. Cheer up

I'm glad I persevered with this article. The first part about the Downing Street protest and prayers almost had me clicking off. But the piece did improve as it went on and I fully endorse its message. If you strive to be a good Muslim a logical starting point would be to avoid duplicity. Rahima I've been trying to get on your nerves for years and never once managed it. I know that this should be a good thing but I just can't help feeling that I've lost something here. Wouldn't call myself a greatest loser though, maybe an unnoticed loser.

Genuine facts are hard to come by in that part of the world. I think our argument comes down to which group truly cares about the cause of Palestine. I seem to think Hamas. You Fatah. Anything outside of this is pure conjecture. Having said that, i do acknowlege and respect your views. Heh. The vagueness is suffocating. Almost everything in this world is based on conjecture. But one would still have to reach a position based on an educated guess or an informed opinion. To say it’s conjuncture and that my opinion is as good as yours is nothing but a simple cop out really! For your information, I don’t think only Hamas cares about the future of Palestine. I believe all Palestinian groups do. That these groups contain traitors, hotheads and opportunists is a natural result of being under occupation. I agree with FB though, I think it’s time Abu Mazen resigned and let another less tarnished man take over. However, I fear that even if Marwan Bargouti were to be released and taken power, all his past deeds will be forgotten and he too will sooner or later be accused of being a collaborator. Still, I am not asking you to forsake Hamas. They’re as brave and as nationalistic as any other group. However, try not to be too bias and demonise all other groups just because of some perceived errors you think they made.

Mabrook and welcome to the club. At the rate you guys are going I think the Women section might require a little creche soon. ps Time to start thinking about circumcision now. Parenthood, eh!

^^ We used to have a great business expert on here a few months back. But, sadly, MK Younis doesn't seem to be here anymore.

^^^ Hamas would commit political suicide, in the eyes of the West, if they were to call Abbas a traitor. Whether Hamas call him a traitor or not is not all that important though. His actions speak volumes. Heh. Yet Hamas are still willing to work with him and are NOT calling him a traitor! Am I missing something here, saaxib? The essential facts have been evident for a long time. I'd choose the side which does not comprise on its ideals. Hamas have not. Fatah always does. This is the same Hamas that does not want to commit political suicide, right? Hamas compromised on its ideals when it stood up for elections in an occupied land. I did not say that by the way, the Hamas Prime Minster did (last night). They compromised because they accepted that such compromises were needed for Unity. Look up his speech and listen to what he said. This is where i strongly disagree with you. Two sides whose visions are so far apart can never work together. Either Fatah will rehabilitate itself into a proper anti-occupation movement and stop acting as a proxy for the West or engage in a perpetual struggle with Hamas. A struggle which it cannot win despite Western money and arms. In the end, the visions of Hamas and Fatah will have to merge or one of them will have leave the scene. Its illogical to expect that Fatah and Hamas will ever work together. They may work together in the short term but never on a long term basis. They'll work together because their land is under occupation and they have no other choice. They'll work together because Palestine is not only Hamas or Fattah but also a dozen other groupings and independents all vying for the loyalties of the public. They both know that there is no other way. Fattah is and has always been a liberation movement. If it's the Hamas suicide bombers who caught your fancy and made you fall for that group then the Fattah boys have been just as brutal and silly with their Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade. I'm aware of the interviews you mention but i don't rely on them as 'facts'. Its not their existence that i deny but the unfaithfulness of those who have uttered them. If Abbas had a security force strong enough to confront Hamas's, he wouldn't have hesitated to confront them for a moment. Indeed, the west would have forced him to do just that. However, the reality as acknowledged both by the West and Fatah is that Hamas is the undisputed force in the territories for the time being. Fatah would risk annihilation if it attempted confronting Hamas. It's not only the interviews though. It's also Abbas's silence in the face of the Hamas attacks and his Minster's criticisms! He only started doing things and declaring a state of emergency AFTER Hamas took control of Gaza. This is tiresome my friend. If we're going to discuss things let us do it with facts. Not spin. ps I can't let the Arafat accusation go. The man has been dead for a couple of years now and STILL there is no sign of all that money you all claim he's been stashing away! pps On the diverging views point (re peacenow) I beg to differ, his ignorant views have to be pointed out for what they are. Either he comes to the table KNOWING what he's talking about or I'll just call him ignorant. It's the way of the world, saaxib.
