This is is a tough question but my opinion as a girl is that it only works out when the guy is completely ugly to ur taste!! Then it is easy to be freinds coz there's no attraction. but be careful that the guy doesnt fancy you coz then u need to set him stright from the begining otherwise he will always flirt and think about you in teh wrong ways when ur together. I think that you will know when a guy is ur true freind coz he'll ask you to do things like set him up with ur freinds. When a guy tells you that he's feelling frisky! Coz again he trusts you. He wouldnt do that if he had a crush on you!! You will know when a guy is ur freind when he doesnt impress himself when he;s with you, you will know when a guy is ur freind when he tells you that he's still a virgin, the list goes on and on, and i know coz all of the above things has happened to me and these boys are one of my good freinds. I also beleive boys make better freinds than than girls. Thats just my opinion.I can trust boys more than I can trust girls!! what do u guys think!!

Hey everyone in this forus, all i can say is well done, u guys have talent, I wish I can write poems like u guys, but everytime i get round to it i am lost for words. All I can say about Jamaal and Idil is, i think that u guys have sparked a little freindship which i think will progress into something more. Lady Fatima is right i can hear wedding bells as well. As for you Idil you shouldnt wait till ur in you r 30's to get married, get married as soon as you find Mr Right coz u never know what tomowrrow will bring. Jamaal/Idil: I was wondering if you guys can write me a poem that I can pass to my man. here is our story, Well we've been together for almost 3yrs and we cant get married coz my parents dont approve of him. I have tried to finish it several times but failed unsuccessfully coz of our feelings for each other. But this time i want to end and get on with my life. And I need you guys to write me a poem so that i can pass that to him and maybe he will understand where am coming form!! Thanks guys!

Hey Jamaal, I never knew ur from London in southall especailly, tell me more about yourself?

I PROMISE YOU WILL LAUGH This is funny and I can't risk any bad luck. Never under estimate the little old Lady..... A little old lady went into the Bank of Canada one day. Carrying a bag of money. She insisted that she must speak with the president of the bank to open a savings account because, "It's a lot of money!" After much hemming and hawing, the bank staff finally ushered her into the president's office (the customer is always right!) The bank president then asked her how much she would like to deposit. She replied, "$165,000!" and dumped the cash out of her bag onto his desk. The president was of course curious as to how she came by all this cash, so he asked her, "Ma'am, I'm surprised you're carrying so much cash around. "Where did you get this money?" The old lady replied, "I make bets." The president then asked, "Bets? What kind of bets?" The old woman said, "Well, for example, I'll bet you $25,000 that your balls are square." "Ha!" laughed the president, "That's a stupid bet. You can never win that kind of bet!" The old lady challenged, "So, would you like to take my bet?" "Sure," said the president, I'll bet $25,000 that my balls are not square!" The little old lady then said, "Okay, but since there is a lot of money involved, may I bring my lawyer with me tomorrow at 10:00 AM as a witness?" "Sure!" replied the confident president. That night, the president got very nervous about the bet and spent a long time in front of a mirror checking his balls, turning from side to side, again and again. He thoroughly checked them out until he was sure there was absolutely no way his balls were square and that he would win the bet. The next morning, at precisely 10:00 am, the little old lady appeared with her lawyer at the president's office. She introduced the lawyer to the president and repeated the bet: "$25,000 says the president's balls are square!" The president agreed with the bet again and the old lady asked him to drop his pants so they could all see. The president did. The little old lady peered closely at his balls and then asked if she could feel them. "Well, Okay," said the president, "$25,000 is a lot of money, so I guess you should be absolutely sure." Just then, he noticed that the lawyer was quietly banging his head against the wall. The President asked the old lady, "What the hell's the matter with your lawyer?" She replied, "Nothing, except I bet him $100,000 that at 10:00 AM today, I'd have The Bank of Canada's president's balls in my hand."

Well I aggree with you sis somalia is an African country, but ur forgetting that arabs also used to live in somalia aswell and they mixed with real nomads and so as the Ethiopians, Sudans and so on. Thats why you get all different kinds of people like me who are light skinned and dont look nothing like somalis and yet we speak the language and stick to the culture. I considor myself to be somali but when i tell that to westerners they dont believe and so they ask me where i originate and i say i dont know cos I DONT and so everyone gets confused including me! Real Nomads considor me to be non somali but i was born and raised in somalia including family. Just coz i look diffrent coz of my long hair and light skin. So Bros and Sis i have opened up another situation in which perhaps u can advice me on!
