go UCL I say.

lol...i know that juje...because of that I am most surprised by your squabbles.

good idea..finally..hopef ully there will not be a fight about where the money goes after the event.

waw juje and GD have agreed on something. Whats going on.

I think one has to be careful what they want to gain from university. People who are academic should attend university; others should concentrate on finding apprenticeships and gaining work skills. anyhow it was worth it for me.

Is that interview on youtube..anyone link please. Cos I know the Somali Eye editor, very nice bloke.

Try Adebayor 83.7% negative 15.3% positive Conclusion: The internet is mainly negative on the subject of emmanuel adebayor, according to Google.

excellent short talks http://www.dedew.net /

The aid agency Oxfam has decried the conditions in which hundreds of thousands of refugees from the conflict in Somalia are being forced to live. It says the overcrowded and badly managed camps in Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya are "barely fit for humans". Dadaab camp in north-eastern Kenya was meant to hold 90,000 refugees, but is now home to almost 300,000 people, and a further 8,000 arrive each month. Oxfam has called on Kenya's government to urgently allocate more land. "We really need extra land, extra space, to be able to spread people out," Oxfam's Paul Smith Lomas told the BBC. "And that land needs to be allocated soon. We've had assurances for months and months now. Now we need action." Kenya's commissioner for refugees, Peter Kusimba, told the BBC that the pace may have been slow, but land was being earmarked to decongest the camp. As fighting continues in Somalia many are unable to flee the country. Afgooye, near the capital Mogadishu, is home to almost half a million Somalis and is the world's densest concentration of displaced people, the BBC's Will Ross reports from Nairobi. Insecurity makes it increasingly difficult for local and international agencies to deliver aid there, he adds. Oxfam has described the situation as a "human tragedy of unthinkable proportions" and says the international response has been "shamefully inadequate". "The ultimate solution to the situation and the needs in Somalia has to be peace, has to be a politically negotiated peace settlement," Mr Smith Lomas said. "Much is being done, and much more must be done. Until people experience safety and peace on the ground, then we will have to continue responding to these humanitarian needs," he added. Somalia is nominally ruled by a UN-backed government, but Islamist insurgents control large areas. The failed Horn of Africa state has not had a functioning central government since 1991. http://news.bbc.co.u k/1/hi/world/africa/ 8235089.stm

Smoking a shisha pipe is as bad for people as smoking tobacco, the Department of Health and the Tobacco Control Collaborating Centre has found. People who smoke shisha, or herbal tobacco, can suffer from high carbon monoxide levels, its research revealed. It found one session of smoking shisha resulted in carbon monoxide levels at least four to five times higher than the amount produced by one cigarette. High levels of carbon monoxide can lead to brain damage and unconsciousness. Shisha is an Arabic water-pipe in which fruit-scented tobacco is burnt using coal, passed through an ornate water vessel and inhaled through a hose. The Department of Health said it was difficult to know exactly how much carbon monoxide one cigarette produced, due to the differences in smokers' inhalations. CO LEVELS - PARTS PER MILLION Normal level: 3 ppm Light smoker: 10-20 ppm Heavy smoker 30-40 ppm Faulty boiler/fire levels: Upwards of 100 ppm Severe symptoms: 100 ppm Lethal levels: More than 300 ppm But measuring carbon monoxide in exhaled breath showed a normal non-smoker's level to be three parts CO per million parts of air (ppm) (less than 1% of blood not working properly), a light smoker to have 10-20 ppm (2-4% of blood not working properly), and a heavy smoker 30-40 ppm (5-7%). The study found shisha smokers had 40-70 ppm of CO in their breath - affecting 8-12% of their blood. Dr Hilary Wareing, director of the Tobacco Control Collaborating Centre, told the BBC's Asian Network she was shocked by the results of the research. "Our mouths opened at the level of harm - none of the tests we did showed anything other than shisha is hazardous to health." Paul Hooper, regional manager at the Department of Health, said the findings made the dangers of shisha a "major issue". He said many people regard shisha "as not even smoking". Misconception Shisha bars, which are typically decked out with low stools and soft cushions to create an inviting atmosphere, have become popular in cities across the UK, particularly in London, Manchester and Birmingham. At the worst, shisha was 400 to 450 times more dangerous than having a cigarette Dr Hilary Wareing Tobacco Control Collaboration Centre An activity largely associated with Middle Eastern customers and a young crowd, there is a growing trend of themed shisha parties. Many people who go to "shisha evenings" think it is a safer alternative to smoking cigarettes. "You never see it in the news - 'that is terrible, don't do it' - there's no shock tactics like (there is with) cigarettes," said one young woman. "If my mum sees me smoking shisha, she isn't going to take it as seriously as if I was smoking cigarettes," said a British Pakistani man. It was this misconception - and finding dangerous levels of carbon monoxide in a pregnant woman who had stopped smoking tobacco, but continued to smoke shisha - which prompted the research. "We found one session of smoking shisha - that's 10 milligrams (of fruit tobacco) for 30 minutes - gave carbon monoxide levels that were at the lowest four and five times higher than having a cigarette," said Dr Wareing. "But at the worst, shisha was 400 to 450 times more dangerous than having a cigarette," she added. Informed choice Edgware Road is home to a large number of shisha cafes or hookah bars Shisha smokers in a cafe in Edgware Road, London, said the findings would make them think twice about smoking. "You know you can die from cigarettes, but you don't know you can die from shisha," said one. "I'm now going home to research it," said another. But not everyone is convinced. Akram, a 27-year-old who runs a restaurant and shisha bar in Birmingham, has his own views. "There is a health risk but it's all down to consumption and all the evidence I've seen is that smoking shisha is nothing like smoking even one cigarette," he said. He said he did not actually inhale shisha smoke. It is not just the level of carbon monoxide that is causing concern. Qasim Choudhory, a youth worker at the NHS Stop Smoking Service in Leicester, said sharing a shisha pipe could pass around infections. "There's a heightened risk of getting TB, herpes and infections like that," she said. "Now you know swine flu is on the top of the agenda right now - there's no kind of direct correlation, but at time when we're up on our hygiene, it's not the best type of activity to be taking part in." Dr Wareing said more research on exactly how dangerous shisha was needed to be conducted to enable people to make an informed choice. Paul Hooper said the department was working hard at "how best to get the message - that it is dangerous - across to the consumer". "But how do you label the tobacco and the shisha pipe? It's not as simple as labelling a packet of cigarettes," he added. http://news.bbc.co.u k/1/hi/health/821409 7.stm

che is a hater...well known fact. However, if puntland is part of somalia, it shouls come under the jurisdiction of the somali national government. Why should it be tread differently from other parts of Soamlia. It should get its fair share.

mustafa....see somali politics made easy

leave accrington out this mate...

yes.

central government/TFG = liverpool. they havent controlled/won any thing significant for 18 years, except couple conferences in djibouti, nairobi. warlords = man u, winning evrything over the last couple years. sland = arsenal, pretty football, evry1 likes the peace/prosperity, no silver wear=recognition. pland = chelsea, still looking for that elusive champions league i guess the new kid on the block is to be reckoned with.

basically the big four were always on top of the table over the last 18 years, then man city (alshabab)got bit of cash from a wealthy arab owner and are now fighting for the title.
