:eek: Miskeen. Wot was it suppose to be?!

^ hahaha, watch out columbo!

^ once these "gossiping" nurses ( ) you have your lunch with get married and have children, their priorities will obviously change, they cant still do crazy hours with a family. Anyway a nurse was just an example, my point was if a woman goes out to work, JBs "hardworker woman" this doesn't necessarily mean she cnt be this other romantic woman who takes good care of the kids and the home. It jst means she has a life outside of the house which will make her a bit more interesting and mayb more happier. I think some guys are a bit threatened by their wife working and having a life he is not involved with.

CL u sheeg. Most women are these two an five diffent ones in between. (if they feel like humouring you) dnt restrict yourselves. Rooblh, the nurse would probably be able to take better care of you and your children than the woman chewing beside you.

these BIG adverts a bit embarrassing @ work. before ppl used to wonder wot the camels were about

^ Ameen. In these last nights of Ramadan lets remember them in our duas, thats the least we can do.

maybe inshallah, I would wouldn't want to bring childrn up in the UK. (not the most interesting of places to grow up)

^ Not time effective either, they should make it short and snappy. Please keep this proposal secret, even if you dont want to assist me. (sorry my indignation was too strong to forgive). lets hope Abdul Karim is not a regular on SOL.

ibs alhamdulliah. got a thousand things to do but sitting here jst numbering them in my head instead. (its easier to think than to do ) how are you doing? Sayid, as far as i know if you lose conciousness then you should do your wudu again, or jst 2b on the safe side.

^ all worth it inshallah. morning CL.

^ would you stop two women from fighting? I remembing watching some druggie guy beating his g/f outside the supermarket, he was kicking the hell out of her and the poor woman was lying on the floor. I was paralysed with shock, (i might have screamed ) not knowing what to do until the giant of a security man came to the rescue and sent him away alhamdulliah. It was so shocking watching such violence. I dnt think i would intervene with strangers, would call the good old bill if it was really bad.

Which reminds me I need to make the inevitable trip to southall. Originally posted by G G: Us too, hmm? We need to jump on the spending craze bandwagon Xmas is famous for? Eid clothes are a tradition GG, nothing to do with copying others. (An Eid turkey would be a different matter)

^ to get to the other side?! Dhufayz, lets answer your question with a question, do you know any faraaxs who have travelled to India to get hitched? Did they tell you their reason? Can you get one to join SOL and explain his journey and his marriage ceremony and if possible add some pictures. That would answer all our questions.

^ what a scardey cat.

^ Things can be made to sound so terrible in somali.

:mad: talk about rubbing salt in the wound. In light of these events they should postpone their so called demonstration. Thats assuming these ppl have any common decency.

sad beyond belief.

Don't tire yourself out Ardo, your not in their marriage, leave them to sort their differences out. You can make dua for them but @ the end of the day its up to them to chose how to move on from this.

hahaha camel jumping! worth watching jst for that.

hahaha. very unlucky to meet someone so annoying.

^ Thanks for the report, it was actually interesting to read (even @ this time of night) I tried hard to find any reference to somali's devotion to arabs and this being the reason for their low rankings but alas I was disappointed. The reasons the report made for the low employment figures of somalis in the UK, (rather than their devotion to arabs!) was due to the fact that "the majority of Somalis in the UK will not have come here through labour migration channels, but rather because they are fleeing violence and persecution in Somalia, and of the relative newness of the Somali community". It goes on to say "Some relatively newly arrived groups are doing particularly badly in economic terms, whereas more settled groups are doing much better. This may indicate that economic success increases as length of stay increases.". And this would seem to make sense esp. in regards to somalis. Also the employment figures do not take into account those in Full time education and they had no data on self employed somalis. Also in your strange attempt to somehow connect two v. differnt things, you seemed to have overlooked the conclusion of the report: "just because some communities achieve relatively high or low rankings does not mean that every member of that community is relatively overachieving or under-achieving. Similarly if an immigrant or immigrant community has relatively good or relatively bad economic characteristics, we should be very wary of labelling some individuals or groups as successful or unsuccessful. There may be very important factors at work and unless we understand the impact of these factors, we should refrain from making strong judgments on the economic contribution of an individual or group.". And i should add we should be v. wary of ranting and raving a load of bs about devotion to arabs. strange indeed.

Firstly pls do share where you get these very nicely rounded statistics, it would make an interesting read. Secondly you need to make your angst clear, are you angry that apparently high numbers of somalis are in receipt of state benefit in the UK or that somali ppl apparently have a devotion to arabs? how are the two connected? Your point is lost amongst the mindless ranting and raving.

Also interesting to know why this man is in Saudi jails in the first place. http://www.guardian. co.uk/commentisfree/ 2009/jul/14/saudi-me cca-islam-deported-m uslim very depressing. However the connection between the corruption of the Saudi prison system and somali people in the west is not very clear Mr Peacenow.
